Your results indicate that you're dealing with a type of anxiety called nervous system anxiety. Another word for it is neurological anxiety. And in essence, this is anxiety that primarily shows up with symptoms in your nervous system. So perhaps you feel your body get flushes of heat or chills when you get anxious. Maybe you get numbness and tingling in your fingers or your nose, or maybe you find that you get really sweaty and clammy when you're anxious. Your nervous system is designed to go into autonomic arousal, which refers to that feeling of fight, flight, freeze that your body may experience when it thinks that danger is afoot. And nervous system anxiety can be managed differently than other types of anxiety. So, for example, if you have anxiety showing up in your nervous system, taurine might be more useful as opposed to if your anxiety shows up in your gut, chamomile may be more useful. So, number one is knowing what's happening to your body can help you be empowered and knowing that you're okay. Your body is designed to go into the state to protect you from a tiger, and that out of context, it can feel very nerve wracking and anxiety provoking. So number one is to be empowered in knowing what's happening. Number two is that it gives you information that, oh, okay, I'm under a lot of stress or overwhelm right now. I, I can take steps to bring that down a notch. I teach you about that in the stoplight strategies inside the Wellness Collective. And also you can be equipped to use natural remedies that will actually calm the nervous system that are really specific and targeted because, you know, doctors often just give you an antidepressant or a benzodiazepine, even though everybody's anxiety shows up differently. So, so what would happen if you were able to tailor your remedies to your symptoms and your needs? And that's exactly what I teach you inside of the Holistic Wellness Collective.
