Anxiety is Epidemic in USA
Case Study: How Heal Your Vibe naturally helps you to relieve Anxiety and become functional.
A 53-year-old Houston executive, who was a patient, complained of anxiety for 2 years. He was depressed, exhausted, weak, and in pain. He was seeing a therapist and taking medications. He gained 25 lbs. through emotional eating, and he slept poorly, only 3-4 hours each night. He had been under severe job stress for several years, and he had become worn out and less able to perform his daily job functions. He was overwhelmed and feared losing his job and family. He committed to a series of 15 Acupuncture treatments for his severe anxiety. His journey continued, and his progress was promising. At the mid-point of his sessions, he reported that he was 50% improved in his symptoms of anxiety, sleeping better, able to work out again, cravings reduced, and his family life had significantly improved. At the end of his treatment sessions, he reported that he was gaining much better, received positive reports from his therapist, and his doctor recommended that he reduce his medication. He kept his job and felt that he could manage life, and as a result, he felt happier and healthier than he had in 20 years.
Depression has become Too "cool" in America
Depression was once taboo; now it's a widespread problem. How do we solve it holistically?
Acupuncture helps depression, along with supplements, functional medicine, and the natural healing power of herbal medicine, which all help reduce anxiety and depression. These natural remedies have been proven effective in treating these conditions, offering hope and optimism to those who seek relief.
Depression also has both a mental and a physiological response. The causes of depression range from trauma in life, lack of direction, imbalances in brain chemistry, or gut-brain connection. The gut-brain connection refers to the bidirectional communication between the central nervous system and the enteric nervous system, which is the intrinsic nervous system of the gastrointestinal tract. Depending on the source, we will approach it accordingly. I often find that many patients are depressed due to a chemical imbalance in the brain, a gut-brain imbalance, or not being connected to their true path or purpose.
Acupuncture helps with depression, supplements, functional medicine, and natural healing. It is not my place to find their path; however, I can offer gentle nudges to encourage internal work, suggest resources, tools, and referrals to help them explore further and discover their own path and purpose.
