Listen

Description

Summary:

In this empowering episode of The Wellness Path Podcast, Dr. Vic Manzo dives deep into the rising epidemic of anxiety, affecting both adults and children at alarming rates. Dr. Vic shares his personal journey of overcoming anxiety and ADHD through holistic, natural methods, and provides actionable insights to help you reclaim control over your nervous system. From understanding the root causes of anxiety to exploring chiropractic care, auricular therapy, mindfulness practices, and powerful supplements, this episode is packed with science-backed strategies to help you break free from anxiety and live a more balanced, stress-resilient life.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Anxiety is a Nervous System Issue: Anxiety stems from a nervous system stuck in "stress mode" (sympathetic dominance), making it easier to trigger hyperstimulation and fear-based responses.
  2. Chiropractic Care for Anxiety: Misalignments in the spine can interfere with the nervous system, perpetuating stress responses. Chiropractic adjustments help restore balance, strengthen the parasympathetic (brake pedal) system, and even improve brain function, such as the prefrontal cortex, which regulates impulse control and calmness.
  3. Auricular Therapy: This non-invasive therapy targets specific nerve points in the ear to reset the nervous system, offering a powerful complement to chiropractic care for faster anxiety relief.
  4. Mindfulness and Breathwork: Techniques like box breathing (4-4-4-4) and the 4-7-8 method (inhale for 4, hold for 7, exhale for 8) can repattern the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and promote calmness.
  5. Grounding for Stress Relief: Connecting with the earth (e.g., walking barefoot on grass) can reharmonize your body’s energy and counteract the overstimulation caused by modern technology like Wi-Fi and 5G.
  6. Supplements for Calm: Dr. Vic recommends magnesium, ashwagandha, L-theanine, GABA, and CBD oil to support nervous system health, lower cortisol, and promote relaxation.
  7. Anxiety is Not Permanent: With the right tools and practices, you can rewire your brain, strengthen your nervous system, and break free from the cycle of anxiety.
