A short YouTube video by Dr. Nicole Cain that outlines a root-cause approach to healing anxiety. The speaker asks viewers to investigate biological, psychological, social/environmental, and spiritual contributors and gives examples of biological factors (thyroid imbalance, B12/iron/vitamin D deficiencies, excess cortisol, medications/supplements, lifestyle factors). The clip ends with a pointer to further resources (Instagram and the Wellness Collective membership).
