If you've ever been told that your anxiety is "just in your head," or just a chemical imbalance in your brain, this episode is for you. Anxiety isn't just about thoughts OR chemicals, it's a full-body experience driven by your nervous system. In this episode, Dr. Ashleigh Moreland and David Masterton break down what’s really happening inside your brain and body when you feel anxious.

We explore:
🔹 The difference between your brain (the physical organ) and your mind (the non-physical processor of past and future fears)
🔹 Why anxiety can feel just like excitement, and how to tell the difference
🔹 How your nervous system triggers physical symptoms like a racing heart, tight chest, and shortness of breath
🔹 Why so many people think they’re having a heart attack when it’s actually anxiety
🔹 The hidden connections between diet, gut health, and anxiety
🔹 Practical ways to calm anxiety by working with your body, not against it

Whether your anxiety is a constant hum in the background or shows up in big, overwhelming waves, this episode will help you understand it in a whole new way, so you can finally start shifting out of it.
