When considering supplements for anxiety, it’s important not to get caught up in a quick-fix mentality but rather focus on identifying and addressing the root cause(s). Supplements can be a helpful part of this process, but in my practice, I prefer them to complement the big picture that includes mindset, dietary and lifestyle change alongside detoxification and holistic support such as wearable devices or specific healing practices.
For example, if someone is low in vitamin D, there are various ways to increase levels- such as through direct sunlight, dietary sources, etc. Similarly, a deficiency in vitamin B12 may indicate a lack of protein in the diet or an issue with absorption and assimilation.
When it comes to specific supplements for anxiety, there are numerous options available. Bach flower combinations such as the rescue remedy, for example, can be particularly beneficial for emotional healing. These natural flower remedies are often used to support emotional well-being and can be a gentle way to address the emotional components of anxiety.
Another common supplement that I use in my practice is theanine, an amino acid known for its calming effects. I frequently place theanine in the core supplement category of my protocols for its unique ability to promote relaxation and support the system without stimulating or sedating it.
While supplements can play a role in managing anxiety, I find that they are most effective when used as part of a comprehensive approach that includes all of the above. #letgoandgrow
