Ep. 40 - Alex’s Journey to Anxiety Freedom

In this week’s episode, I am joined by another amazing client - Alex!

Alex first started to experience anxiety in high school, and as it was left untreated, it progressively worsened until they decided to go on medication in university. Initially, the medication helped them to feel more in control, until 2020, which was, of course, very stressful for many people.

At this point, Alex was in the last year of their undergrad, about to start their master's. Not only did the anxiety and irrational thoughts worsen despite being on medication, journaling, and working with a naturopath, but a lot of gut issues also started to present themselves, like nausea, IBS-D, SIBO, and insomnia.

Alex was just about to start working as a therapist and, as they put it, they had three options: increase the medication, change the medication, or figure out a different solution.

The different solution was working with me, learning how to support their body optimally through a customized dietary plan, customized supplements, supporting drainage pathways, addressing SIBO and parasites, and so much more that we discuss in this episode!

I’m so excited for you to hear this conversation, and I hope it inspires you to decide that it’s time to dive in, do the work, and take control of your mental health.
