How Holistic Anxiety Treatment Helps
A holistic personalised approach to treating anxiety disorders and helping the nervous system restore calm balance is key to recovery, since everyone’s anxiety is a bit different.
Many people have already tried a standard medication for their anxiety and have not found it helpful or had to stop due to side effects. Especially in these cases, targeted novel medicines combined with holistic approaches can treat anxiety effectively and aid recovery to a more expanded life.
This includes specific simple mindbody practices to help calm the nervous system, stimulate the vagus nerve and reduce brain and body noise as well as personalized nutritional medicine, microbiome and nutraceutical support.
Our Process
Step 1.
Rapid Symptom Relief With Novel Medicines
Novel botanical medicines influence multiple biological functions and often bring rapid relief of symptoms within days.
Most patients see a significant improvement within the first month of therapy across multiple symptom clusters including mood, fatigue, stress, pain, sleep and mental function.
Novel Medicines Can Dramatically improve Quality Of Life
Many patients are able to wean down on other medications to help to further improve symptoms and quality of life and reduce unnecessary drug side effects.
Step 2.
Long Term Recovery
Once initial symptoms are relieved, we develop a personalized holistic long-term treatment plan, since even two people with the same diagnosis can need different things. This can include:
- Drug therapy
- Functional medicine testing – advanced tests to identify root causes of symptoms such as microbiome testing, brain-gut axis function, methylation pathways and hormone levels
- Nutritional medicine – personalized therapeutic diets, supplements and botanicals.
- Mindbody medicine – meditation, relaxation response training, biofeedback.
- Lifestyle medicine – sleep, exercise, work/home environment.
Step 3.
Long Term Resilience
Resilience is the ability to adapt and bounce back in the face of challenging circumstances.
The ability to reduce distress, both mentally and physically enhances your quality of life & activates our inner potential for healing. Resilience can always be improved regardless of your medical diagnoses.
Our virtual platform gives you access to holistic tools and resources as part of your treatment to enhance your resilience further, manage your holistic health & see your progress over time so you can get better and stay better.
