Do you struggle with anxiety? You're not alone! Did you know that we are a hundred times more likely to have significant mood problems, like anxiety and depression, than people born a hundred years ago? Are our lives so much more unhappy? Not necessarily, but it's true that we are facing unprecedented amounts of stress in our day, far above what people faced a hundred years ago. And it's having a big effect on us! We used to experience acute stress, it came and then it went away. Our intuitive 'fight or flight' system would kick in when needed, and then shut off once the threat was gone. But now, we experience chronic stress, so our sympathetic nervous system rarely shuts down, and is running the show most days. On today's podcast Jess and Cody talk about feelings of anxiety and how our lifestyles, and what we eat and drink, can have a huge effect in causing anxiety, or on the positive side, provide support for our stress-response system to help reduce anxiety. Have you ever heard of the term "nutritherapy"? Cody talks about the power of nutritherapy, which is a practice that seeks to prevent or correct disease by the use of nutritional supplements including vitamins, trace elements, or macronutrients. Tune in to learn more about what supplements and nutritional strategies you can implement today that will help you take charge of your emotions again.Did you learn something new today?
