<p><strong>Dr. Nicole Cain</strong> is a leading expert in trauma-informed Clinical Psychology and holistic medicine for anxiety and panic, and author of the acclaimed book <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/737883/panic-proof-by-dr-nicole-cain/?kuid=df61c47d-1b34-4474-8f49-bfe9ff1fb205-1761926014&kref=https%3A%2F%2Fdrnicolecain.com%2F" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> <strong><em>Panic Proof</em></strong></a><strong>. </strong>She joins the show to unpack the <em>9 types of anxiety</em> and what your body is really trying to tell you. We explore how anxiety is more than a mental health issue; it’s often a message from your hormones, gut, immune system, or even unprocessed trauma. Dr. Cain breaks down the different types—from hormone and gut-driven anxiety to trauma, anger, and depressive anxiety—and how each has a unique root cause. We also get into the connection between autoimmune conditions and ACE scores, the truth about anxiety medications and dependency, and how to stop being gaslit by a system that overlooks the body’s role in anxiety. Plus, Dr. Cain shares her 3-step process to interrupt the anxiety cycle, how to regulate inbound stress, and simple ways to stimulate your vagus nerve to return to calm.</p><p><br></p><p>This episode is brought to you by:</p><ul><li>Get 20% off your first order by visiting <a href="http://foriawellness.com/BLONDE" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">foriawellness.com/BLONDE</a> or use code BLONDE at checkout. </li><li>Save 15% off my favorite Red Light Face Mask by using code BLONDE at <a href="http://www.boncharge.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.boncharge.com</a>.</li><li>Go to <a href="http://justthrivehealth.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">justthrivehealth.com</a> and use code WELL for 20% off your first 90 day bottle of Just Thrive probiotic.</li><li>Use promo code BLONDE at <a href="http://puori.com/BLONDE" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Puori.com/BLONDE</a> for 20% off.</li><li>Visit <a href="http://fatty15.com/WELL" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">fatty15.com/WELL</a> and use code WELL at checkout for an additional 15% off their Starter Kit.</li><li>Go to <a href="http://fromourplace.com/BLONDE" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">fromourplace.com/BLONDE</a> and use code BLONDE for 10% off sitewide.</li></ul><p><br></p><p><em>Please note that this episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
