Overcoming Anxiety: Finding the Root Cause for True Relief

A peaceful mind and a relaxed body—what a precious gift, yet many take it for granted until the opposite happens. Suddenly, you’re overwhelmed by tension, irritability, and a mind that feels like a runaway freight train with no brakes.

In my 30+ years of practice, I have never met someone who enjoys feeling anxious. Anxiety is debilitating, robbing people of their joy, happiness, and health. It can strain relationships, disrupt daily life, and feel like an inescapable prison. But here’s the truth: anxiety always has an underlying cause, and identifying it is the key to true relief.

Common Hidden Causes of Anxiety

Through years of working with patients, I’ve discovered several common factors that contribute to anxiety, including:

Hyperthyroidism – Overactive thyroid function can fuel anxiety symptoms.
Elevated Cortisol – Chronic stress leads to excessive cortisol production, creating a constant state of alertness.
Brainwave Imbalances – Excessive beta brain waves can overstimulate the mind, increasing worry and overthinking.
Sympathetic Nervous System Overdrive – When the body is stuck in fight, flight, or freeze mode, it struggles to relax.
Emotional & Circumstantial Triggers – Past trauma, ongoing stress, or life changes can intensify anxiety.

Finding the Root Cause: The Key to Healing

As a practitioner, my goal is to uncover what’s driving anxiety. This often involves:

🩺 Lab Testing – Checking thyroid and adrenal function for hormonal imbalances.
🧠 Brain Mapping (QEEG) – Measuring brainwave activity to identify abnormalities.
💓 Nervous System Scans – Using Heart Rate Variability (HRV) to assess stress response.
📖 Detailed History & Emotional Assessments – Identifying personal triggers and stressors.

My Personal Journey with Anxiety

There was a time in my life when anxiety consumed me. I remember a defining moment—sitting at my kitchen table, overwhelmed by a false reality my mind had created.

In that moment, I felt like I had lost everything—my finances, my security, my support system. I spiraled into a full-blown panic attack, crying uncontrollably. But the final tipping point? Worrying about how I would keep my five cats safe and fed while living on the street.

None of it was real. But the fear felt real.

That’s when I realized I needed answers. After digging deeper, I discovered that my anxiety was linked to excessive beta brain waves. Through NeuroIntegration Therapy, I was able to restore balance and break free from anxiety’s grip.

There is Hope—You Can Overcome Anxiety
