The Neuroscience of Anxiety

There is power in understanding the science behind why we feel the way we do. In Episode 112 I talk about the Neuroscience of Anxiety. Anxiety may be a result of an imbalance in the activity of our emotional brain regions like the hypothalamus, amygdala, and bed of the stria terminalis. Think of an overflowing sink without a safety drain port. Chronic anxiety may be a result of our stress signal not resolving. So how can we add in a safety drain port? How can we resolve this stress signal? I go into details about our genetics, heat therapy, ketogenic diet, exposure therapy, blood sugar levels, stimulants, alcohol, and more. Tune in for details!
