Feeling anxious all the time can leave you stuck in a rut—but anxiety isn’t just about stress or mindset. Sleep, diet, blood sugar swings, medications, stimulants, and even the gut microbiome can all influence how your body and brain respond.
In this episode of Wonder Why, we explore how anxiety connects to cardiovascular health, exercise performance, hormonal balance, and blood sugar regulation. We’re joined by Dr. Rosa Keller, a nutrition scientist and UCSF-trained Registered Dietitian, who explains how nutrition—especially plant-based foods—can support the microbiome, mood, and long-term metabolic health.
