ABOUT THIS EPISODE
If you or someone you love lives with anxiety, racing thoughts, “borderline” panic attacks, and a nervous system stuck in “on” mode, then this episode is for you.
In this case study, I walk through a new patient in our practice: a 26‑year‑old lawyer in Scottsdale preparing for the bar exam. He’s got a bright, promising life ahead of him, but his baseline anxiety is 2–3 out of 10 with spikes into near‑panic, plus abdominal pain, bloating, constant sighing, racing thoughts, poor sleep, chest tightness, and nausea when the anxiety flares. Some supplements take the edge off, but he’s still groggy and stuck. He came to us after reading another case where a young man’s OCD improved alongside large aluminum and copper elimination, wanting to know: what am I missing?
In this episode, I show you how I actually think about anxiety in practice. We cover dysfunctional breathing mechanics and CO₂, why some people feel calmer under pressure and anxious when nothing is happening, how under‑eating and low protein diets leave high-performers depleted, and the forgotten mineral (potassium) that can make or break your well-being. I also share simple, practical questions you can ask yourself to see which of these patterns might be driving your own symptoms.
This is the same repair‑deficit framework I lay out in my book The End of Autoimmunity, now available on Amazon or here.
