Understanding Anxiety and How Our Functional Program Can Help

Anxiety is more than just feeling stressed or worried. It is a prevalent and sometimes debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide. While it's normal to experience anxiety during stressful situations, persistent, excessive, and uncontrollable anxiety that interferes with daily activities may indicate an anxiety disorder. In this post, we'll explore what anxiety is, how it affects individuals, and how our comprehensive program here in Orlando, FL can offer effective help.

What is Anxiety?

Anxiety disorders encompass a range of conditions that share excessive fear and anxiety as key characteristics. These feelings of anxiety and panic interfere with daily activities, are difficult to control, are out of proportion to the actual danger, and can last a long time. Symptoms may include, but are not limited to, heart palpitations, rapid breathing, restlessness, trouble concentrating, and difficulties with sleep.

How Anxiety Affects People

The effects of anxiety on an individual can be profound:

• Physical Health: Chronic anxiety can contribute to bodily symptoms such as headaches, muscle tension, fatigue, and exacerbations of existing health conditions.

• Mental Health: It's often accompanied by other mental health disorders, like depression. Constant worry and fear make it hard to maintain emotional balance.

• Social Life: Anxiety can cause withdrawal from social interactions, negatively impacting relationships and professional life.

Our Approach to Managing Anxiety

We understand that effective treatment for anxiety must address both the symptoms and their root causes. Our functional program is designed to do just that, with a focus on personalized assessment and treatment.

• Brainmapping: This non-invasive technology helps us understand the brain’s activity patterns associated with anxiety, providing a blueprint for targeted neurofeedback treatments.

• Metabolic Assessments: By examining neurotransmitter levels, GI tract health, food sensitivities, and organic acids, we can identify biochemical imbalances that may contribute to anxiety symptoms.

• Neurofeedback: Tailored specifically to each individual's brain activity, neurofeedback trains the brain to regulate these patterns, promoting calm and reducing symptoms of anxiety. This study concluded that Neurofeedback reduced Anxiety and is referenced in over 100 other articles.  https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0005796717300372
