Anxiety — When Your Nervous System Is Running on Fumes

Anxiety - when your nervous system is running on fumes

Your heart races over nothing. Thoughts loop like a broken record at 2 a.m. The doctor calls it “anxiety,” but your body calls it a fuel shortage. Nerves fire, muscles tense, and adrenal glands pump overtime when key nutrients—think magnesium, B-vitamins, and calming amino acids—aren’t on hand to keep the brake pedal pressed.

The Hidden Drains

  •         Magnesium on empty. Stress drains magnesium faster than any other mineral, and when it’s gone your muscles knot up and adrenaline surges, setting the stage for an anxiety attack.
  •         Blood-sugar nosedives. Skip protein and ride the coffee-and-carb roller-coaster, and your glucose crashes—your brain registers “danger” and flips the panic switch.
  •         Stomach-acid shortfall. When your stomach acid runs low, dinner just sits there half-digested. The B-vitamins, zinc, and tryptophan that keep your mood steady never make it into your bloodstream, and without those builders, your brain can’t crank out enough serotonin and dopamine.
