Hello! I am so glad you’re here and I hope that you’ll find hope by reading my story. I struggled with extreme anxiety and panic attacks. The first time my mom (who is a nurse) noticed this was when I was 18 months old. I fainted in our Chiropractors office after seeing my mother get acupuncture. This began my struggle with severe anxiety and panic attacks. I would have extreme anxiety and faint when I saw heard, or discussed someone getting hurt. Sometimes, when I would get hurt, even slightly, I would pass out.
I didn’t like to be home without my Dad or Mom there… My fear of passing out would cause me to sit in our bay window and stay there until one of them got back. One Thanksgiving when we were on vacation I was struggling so badly that I was hardly able to stand for pictures with my family.
My parents had to take me down from our resort condo in a wheelchair and my dad practically held me up for the picture. This day I thought I was dying. I felt so horrible, and hopeless. (Below is the picture taken during that Thanksgiving day. I am the second one from the left… If you look closely behind us you can see the wheelchair my parents used to bring me down on from our room.)
My mom was constantly searching for answers for how to help me. She took me to many different Doctors, Specialists, Chiropractors, and even tried acupuncture. I tried essential oils, diet changes, NAET, probiotics, digestive enzymes, various other supplements, positive thought, exercise, meditation, deep breathing, even brainwave optimization. Sometimes I would see a little improvement but nothing that really stopped my anxiety.
Time passed and I was then 20 and getting ready to go to college. I told my mom that I was thinking about going on medication. I told her I didn’t want to, but I just didn’t know what else to do…I felt like I had tried EVERYTHING! I just couldn’t get over the ruminating thoughts. I explained it to my mom as being on a hamster wheel and not being able to ever get off. I wasn’t sleeping that well and it was just having a negative impact on every area of my life. I was so sick and tired of struggling. I just wanted some relief.
I also didn’t want to go on medication. I wanted to do things holistically! Thankfully, my mom did some more searching and came across a company that focused on the Gut Brain Axis. I came to realize how having a healthy gut helps you be mentally well. I was intrigued but didn’t want to get my hopes up as I had tried so many things in the past.
After further study I learned how taking probiotics, prebiotics, and phytobiotics helps improve gut health.
This was such a blessing for me to find this information. After taking these pre, pro, and phytobiotics I finally saw my anxiety being reduced. I have been taking these for over a year and a half now. My health and wellness has never been better and my anxiety, and stomach issues have never been lower…
I feel like there are two sides to anxiety. One is the health side and one is the positive thinking side. Some days it’s a bit of a struggle in my mind still. But now that I have DRAMATICALLY improved the health part I can work on the positive thinking side. Which has been a fun journey because I have learned so much about my mind and it’s capabilities. Without this journey I wouldn’t be here. I wouldn’t be able to share and help others!
I have met the most amazing, incredible people that have also had their share of struggle and heartache. I’ve seen relief from my anxiety and my mental wellness has certainly improved.
-I have a calmer mind that’s easier to control
-My heart doesn’t pound as much
-I am able to be myself more
-I feel happier and more “normal”
-I feel like I am finally me
Let me tell you – having my health back is so amazing. I am able to do the things I love. I am able to help others. I am able to be a better husband.
