You’re eating well. You’re doing the “right” things. So why do you still feel anxious… or even worse?

In this episode of The Anxiety Compass, Sammy and Nat unpack a lesser-known piece of the anxiety puzzle...how your body’s chemistry and genetics might be keeping you stuck in a constant state of “on.”

Because anxiety isn’t always coming from your thoughts.

Sometimes… it’s coming from your nervous system being overstimulated at a chemical level.

We explore how certain people are more sensitive to stimulation, and why some of the most “healthy” foods... like bone broth, fermented foods, and cheesy chips can actually make anxiety feel worse for some individuals.

Not because the foods are "bad"… but because your body’s capacity to process them is different.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

• Why anxiety can feel physical, not just mental
• The “accelerator vs brake” system in your brain
• How genetics can impact how your body processes stimulation
• The role of key nutrients like magnesium and B vitamins
• Why some people feel worse eating “healthy” foods
• The concept of “load” and how overstimulation builds up
• How to start supporting your body instead of fighting it

This episode is for anyone who feels like they’ve been doing everything right…
but still feel wired, overwhelmed, or stuck in their body.

Because the goal isn’t to follow more rules.

It’s to understand your body.
