Send us Fan MailYou’re eating well. You’re doing the “right” things.  So why do you still feel anxious… or even worse?In this episode of The Anxiety Compass, Sammy and Nat unpack a lesser-known piece of the anxiety puzzle...how your body’s chemistry and genetics might be keeping you stuck in a constant state of “on.”Because anxiety isn’t always coming from your thoughts.Sometimes… it’s coming from your nervous system being overstimulated at a chemical level.We explore how certain people are more sensitive to stimulation, and why some of the most “healthy” foods... like bone broth, fermented foods, and cheesy chips can actually make anxiety feel worse for some individuals.Not because the foods are "bad"… but because your body’s capacity to process them is different.✨ In this episode, we explore: Why anxiety can feel physical, not just mental  The “accelerator vs brake” system in your brain  How genetics can impact how your body processes stimulation  The role of key nutrients like magnesium and B vitamins  Why some people feel worse eating “healthy” foods  The concept of “load” and how overstimulation builds up  How to start supporting your body instead of fighting it This episode is for anyone who feels like they’ve been doing everything right… but still feel wired, overwhelmed, or stuck in their body.Because the goal isn’t to follow more rules.It’s to understand your body.Support the show👉 Grab your free Anxiety Compass download here 👉 Grab a copy of Sammy's Book, Anxiety, The Best Teacher You Never Asked For here Follow us @theanxietycompassConnect with Sammy @nutritionwithsammy or websiteConnect with Natalie @nataliemarieinbalance or book discovery call here
