| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Anxiety Coaches |
| 0:09.3 | Coaches podcast, a relaxing and informative show where we explore anxiety, panic and PTSD sharing how you can overcome them for life. |
| 0:22.0 | Aloha, welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast. In today's episode I want to talk about |
| 0:30.8 | you using nutrition and herbs to help you alleviate stress, anxiety, and panic. |
| 0:38.0 | Certain foods and, certainly, stimulants can trigger an increased sense of anxiety making us |
| 0:46.4 | more prone to stress. Others have the effect of soothing our nervous system or help increase our body's ability to adjust to stressful situations. |
| 1:00.0 | The things that help us adjust we call adaptogens and so we'll talk about those in a few minutes but I wanted to start by talking about using some herbs to help you manage your stress and these particular herbs are called |
| 1:17.7 | Nervines. And this is just four of them that I'm going to mention, but there are more, of course, but these are the most |
| 1:26.2 | common and delicious ones. So, these nirvine herbs are soothing to the nervous system and they encourage calm and relaxation. |
| 1:37.0 | Now who doesn't want that, right? |

| 2:07.6 | So you know my take on coffee, caffeine, chocolate, anything that has got caffeine in it, or thiobromine, and then you can take that |
| 2:18.6 | as my caution to you. |
| 2:20.9 | Just let those go. People feel so much better and I have had clients and |
| 2:28.2 | students that have fought me on it and then when they finally give it up they can't believe the difference so |
| 2:35.7 | anyway take it or leave it but I if I were you I would let the caffeine stay behind |
| 2:46.9 | and then you can add these nerveines. First one is Camamile. I know you've heard about Camamile and it's a delicious way to have tea during the day. |
| 2:55.0 | Rather than having a green tea or a black tea, |
| 2:58.0 | you can have a camamile which is very mild and light tasting and it's actually also mild in its calming effect |
