Feeling Overwhelmed, Anxious, or Always on Edge?
Do you often feel nervous, unsettled, or stuck in a loop of worry that just won't go away? Is your mind racing at night, making it hard to fall asleep? Do you feel tight in your chest, short of breath, or exhausted from trying to manage everyday stress?
You're not alone. Anxiety symptoms affect millions of people, and for many, they're not just in the mind. They show up in the body too: through tension, gut issues, poor sleep, and low energy. Many people who struggle with anxiety also find themselves dealing with attention and focus challenges, as these nervous system conditions often overlap. For athletes experiencing anxiety around performance, our naturopathic sports medicine approach can provide comprehensive support.
At NXTLVL Health, we understand that treating anxiety goes beyond short-term fixes or medications. Mitch, a compassionate and experienced naturopath for anxiety, offers a holistic approach that supports your mind, body, and nervous system naturally. Naturopathic doctors (NDs) focus on treating the whole person and addressing underlying causes of anxiety.
What Is Anxiety?
Anxiety is more than just feeling stressed. It's a persistent mental and physical state of worry, fear, and unease. When this nervous tension becomes chronic, it may evolve into an anxiety disorder like:
Whether your anxiety is mild or severe, constant or intermittent, Mitch can help explore the root cause and create a tailored plan to help you feel calm, clear, and in control again.
Signs and Symptoms of Anxiety
Every person's experience with anxiety is different. Some people feel it mentally. Others experience physical symptoms of anxiety in their body. Common signs include:
How a Naturopath for Anxiety Can Help
Conventional medicine often treats anxiety with medication like SSRIs, beta blockers, or sedatives. While these can help some people, they don't always work long term and may come with unwanted side effects.
That's where naturopathic care comes in. At NXTLVL Health, Mitch uses naturopathic medicine and natural therapies to:
- Support your nervous system
- Improve gut health and the gut-brain axis
- Identify nutrient deficiencies or hormone imbalances
- Reduce nervous tension and calm stress hormones
- Strengthen emotional resilience and overall mental health
The goal? To help your body function properly so you can manage stress naturally, without always needing to rely on medication. Many patients prefer a naturopathic approach for anxiety management compared to medication alone.
What Makes Our Naturopathic Approach Different?
Mitch takes the time to truly understand what's going on in your life, your body, and your mind. No rushed appointments. No generic advice.
Just expert, tailored strategies that work with your body, not against it.
We explore:
Naturopathic treatment includes assessing a patient's history, dietary habits, and lifestyle factors.
These are just some of the underlying causes that can trigger or worsen anxiety.
The Gut-Brain Connection in Anxiety
Your gut and brain are closely connected through the gut-brain axis. Research suggests that poor gut health may directly affect mood, stress hormones, and neurotransmitter production (like serotonin and GABA). Research on the gut-brain connection supports the importance of a nutritional diet and supplementation with probiotics.
Many people with anxiety also suffer from:
We often use microbiome testing to explore gut bacteria, intestinal health, and inflammation markers, then use diet and natural therapies to restore balance.
What to Expect at Your Initial Consultation
Mitch's approach to treating anxiety starts with understanding your full story. Your first visit includes: Naturopathic doctors spend between one and two hours face-to-face with patients during their initial appointment.
From there, we create a personalised treatment plan designed to work with your body's unique needs.
Natural Treatments We Use for Anxiety
1. Nutritional Therapy
Your brain needs specific nutrients to function properly, especially during times of stress. Mitch may recommend foods or supplements to correct deficiencies and support neurotransmitter balance.
Important nutrients include:
- Magnesium (to calm the nervous system)
- B vitamins (for energy and nervous system support)
- Omega-3s (to reduce inflammation and support brain health)
- Vitamin D (linked to anxiety and depression when low)
- Amino acids like tryptophan or GABA (to support mood)
2. Herbal Medicine
Certain herbs have calming effects on the nervous system. Mitch may prescribe gentle, effective herbal medicine to:
- Soothe anxiety symptoms
- Support adrenal and stress hormone balance
- Improve sleep quality and emotional regulation
Popular herbs include passionflower, ashwagandha, lemon balm, and rhodiola. Each is chosen based on your symptoms, health history, and medical status. Passionflower is used in herbal formulas for anxiety and has been shown to have comparable positive effects as anti-anxiety medication.
3. Gut Health and Immune Support
We focus on restoring balance in the digestive system with:
- Probiotic-rich foods and prebiotic fibres
- Herbal antimicrobials (if needed)
- Digestive enzymes and gut-healing nutrients
- Removing food allergens and artificial additives
In naturopathic care, dietary modifications may include reducing processed foods and increasing whole foods high in omega-3s.
This gut-first approach supports both the nervous system and immune system, helping reduce inflammation and manage stress naturally. Chronic inflammation can affect brain regions relevant to reward and threat sensitivity and lead to anxiety symptoms.
4. Lifestyle and Stress Management Techniques
Anxiety often develops or worsens in response to lifestyle stress. Mitch helps you adopt simple tools to reduce nervous tension and build resilience. Naturopathic doctors advocate for calming practices such as mindfulness, yoga, and breathing techniques for anxiety management.
This may include:
- Deep breathing and relaxation training
- Sleep support and healthy sleep routines
- Movement or nature exposure
- Journaling, meditation, or emotional expression
Exercise is recommended by NDs as it can effectively decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Even small changes in routine can reduce anxiety and improve mental health over time.
