Anxiety And Panic Attacks
Support for anxiety that looks beyond coping strategies alone
Anxiety and panic attacks can feel relentless — a constant tension, an unexpected wave of fear, or a physical surge that seems to come out of nowhere. Standard lab results may come back “normal,” yet your body and nervous system feel out of balance. Anxiety is real. It is influenced by thoughts, but also by physiology — the way your body responds to stress, hormones, digestion, sleep, and nervous system signals all matter.

When Anxiety Doesn’t Fit Into A Neat Box
Anxiety often overlaps with other areas of health rather than existing in isolation. Because your nervous system is connected to your hormones, gut, sleep patterns, and inflammation pathways, symptoms can feel widespread and hard to pin down.
Common Patterns I See In Practice
Anxiety that worsens around the menstrual cycle or with hormonal shifts
Panic linked to blood sugar dips
Digestive discomfort alongside anxious feelings
Anxiety that began after illness, pregnancy, burnout, or prolonged stress
How A Naturopathic Approach Can Support Anxiety
Rather than only treating symptoms, a naturopathic approach explores the web of possible contributors and supports regulation of underlying systems. This might involve addressing:
Nervous system balance — calming recurring stress responses
Hormone health — stabilizing cycles and stress hormones
Nutrition and nutrient status — supporting neurotransmitter pathways and overall health
Gut health — given the gut-brain connection seen in research and clinical practice
Inflammation — which can influence mood and nervous system signalling
Lifestyle factors such as restorative sleep and movement
What Working Together May Look Like
When we work together, a naturopathic visit typically includes:
A comprehensive intake reviewing your health history, symptoms, and any relevant labs
Goal-setting that fits your lifestyle and priorities
An individualized plan that may include nutritional guidance, herbal and supplemental considerations, habit refinement, and supportive therapies
This approach is grounded in listening and partnership rather than quick fixes.

Is Naturopathic Care a Good Fit?
You might benefit from working together if you:
Want a whole-person view of anxiety
Are curious about contributing factors beyond symptoms
Prefer collaborative and compassionate care
This approach may not feel right if you’re primarily seeking a fast, single-solution fix, or if you’re not ready to explore lifestyle and physiological contributors.
