Here’s What You Can Do To Help Your Anxiety

November 9, 2019 by Tricia Leave a Comment

Chronic illness and anxiety seem to go hand-in-hand. I had no idea what was happening to me when I first got sick with Lyme disease. My heart pounded as if it were coming out of my chest, I began to get sweaty, my hands clammy, I felt like my head was spinning and that everything around me was closing in on me. The worst part about it is that it would come on suddenly, with no warning. I had no idea what was happening or what to do about the anxiety that gripped me.

My History With Anxiety

I had experienced performance anxiety when I would sing or speak in front of a group but never anxiety that didn’t seem to have a reason.

I always found that reading God’s Word helped to calm down my anxieties but it didn’t get to the root cause of my anxiety. Later my girls would also deal with anxiety as a result of the tick-borne infections they had. As I researched ways to help them, me and particularly my daughter who was undiagnosed at the time with PANS, I found Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt and Trudy Scott who was hosting the Anxiety Summit 3. I listened and took copious notes and began to try many of the things that were recommended.

A few years ago, I met Trudy Scott online and had the great privilege of being a guest on her Anxiety Summit 4.

Trudy is the Food Mood expert and nutritionist and I adore her and appreciate her compassionate heart to help others. Her work helped me learn how to help my family with Lyme anxiety as well as my daughter who struggled terribly with PANS. Trudy helped me understand how nutrition can completely change symptoms and how amino acids work to reduce anxiety and fears.

Root Cause and Amino Acids

Figuring out and addressing the above root causes can take time and, while all the above is being investigated and addressed, amino acids can offer quick relief from anxiety (and give you hope)!

They (amino acids) make everything so much easier to handle and much less overwhelming. They can help eliminate fear goes away and help you handle whatever comes your way.

Labs tests, protocols, and diagnosis can feel less challenging. Of course, a healthy diet, sleep, and exercise are fundamental when you have anxiety, and the amino acids play a role here too:

Dietary changes: quit gluten, sugar, caffeine (and sometimes grains) — amino acids help break the addiction aspect so no willpower is required and you don’t feel deprived.

GABA, tryptophan, and glutamine may help with sleep when low GABA, low serotonin and low blood sugar are factors. DPA can help sleep when pain is an issue, as can GABA and tryptophan.
