Certain foods can contribute to or exacerbate anxiety. Gluten and caffeine are two primary examples of things that appear to make anxiety worse. An elimination trial of these substances may prove beneficial for helping to reduce anxiety. It should be noted it may take many months to see significant changes or improvements. One could also test for food sensitivities to ascertain whether there are other foods that potentially nega- tively affect health or symptoms.

are water-soluble, meaning they are found in the watery part of cells in the body and foods. Because they are excreted through the kidneys, there is less poten- tial for buildup and toxicity. They must be continually supplied through the diet and/or supplementation, especially during stressful times.
There are multiple B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B7, B9, B12). It's important to know they work in synergy even though they each have distinct functions. B5 (pantothenic acid) is critical for the synthesis of adrenal gland hormones like cortisol. B1, B3, B6, B9, and B12 are required for normal neuro- logical function, including neurotransmitter production and metabolism.
Vitamin C is a fantastic antioxidant that
prevents free radical damage. It is involved in connective tissue formation, wound healing, assists with immune enhancement, drug metabolism, and detox. Interest- ingly, vitamin C is also essential for normal adrenal gland function. The adrenal glands
contain the richest source of vitamin C in the body which minimizes cortisol secre- tion. Studies have shown people who have higher levels of vitamin C are better able to cope with stress. Too much vitamin C can cause GI upset (i.e. abdominal pain and di- arrhea) which can be reversed by decreas- ing the dose or using buffered forms.
Additionally, animal-assisted therapy and cannabidiol (CBD) appear to be prom- ising treatments for SM.
When using natural therapies to treat SM, it should be noted that progress may be slower than using other thera- pies. My advice – be patient and trust the process. Never attempt to force the indi- vidual outside of his or her comfort zone; always meet the individual where they are at and ensure a judgment-free safe space. Find a practitioner who is willing to listen, learn, and establish a true connection with the individual.
