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.

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:

Panic Disorder
Social Anxiety
Anxiety with depression
Health anxiety

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:

Restlessness and nervousness
Tight chest or muscle tension
Racing heart or high blood pressure
Difficulty sleeping or constant fatigue
Poor digestion or upset stomach
Irritability, worry, or fear
Trouble concentrating or brain fog

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:

Nutritional deficiencies (like B vitamins, magnesium, or iron)
Gut health and microbial imbalances
Food allergies or intolerances
Past trauma or chronic stress
Lifestyle habits and sleep quality
Environmental factors (mould, toxins, noise, cigarette smoke)
Hormone imbalances (thyroid, cortisol, estrogen, etc.)

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:

Poor digestion
Bloating or food sensitivities
Constipation or diarrhoea
Inflammation
Frequent infections or lowered immune system

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.

Mental health assessment and lifestyle overview
Evaluation of current medications or supplements
Lab testing (if needed) for nutrient status, inflammation, and hormone levels

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.
