Everybody's anxiety is not the same.
So it's not the same anxiety someone else has.
Like somebody might say, hey, I got anxiety.
But it's not the same anxiety somebody else is actually living with,
or someone else is living with, or somebody else.
Everybody's anxiety is different in some way, some shape, some form.
Somebody might actually get panic attacks where it's a panic attack,
and it shuts them down, they can't talk.
Another person gets a panic attack, they can talk.
and they can talk incessantly and just keep on talking, talking, talking.
Another person's panic attack means their arms go numb, their legs go numb,
but they can communicate.
Another person's panic attack, they freeze up entirely.
They're on the ground.
They're rolling around.
They're, like, choking.
And another person's panic attack could be literally it just comes on really quick
and then disappears really quick.
Another person's can go for an hour and then keep on going and triggering.
Everybody's different, and the subtleties are different.
there's a lot of differences and no one's panic attacks the same no one's anxiety is the same no
one's nervousness is the same no one is but yet we use the term anxiety so we're just like well
I got anxiety a lot of people say they have anxiety but if they felt what it felt like in
someone else who has crippling anxiety the person with crippling anxiety felt what they felt they'd
be like, hey, you don't have anxiety. I don't know really what it is, but that's not anxiety because
my anxiety is crippling and I can't function and I can't breathe and I can't get air in.
That's the differences right there. Everybody has a difference. But either way, we use the word
because of a mysterious problem that's happening that really can't be described in any other way.
So let's go into it a little bit. What's behind anxiety? The vagus nerves. That's a big part of what's behind anxiety. So it's vagus nerves, right? I got a brain right here in front of me. Okay, your vagus nerves come out of your brainstem, travel down the neck, right? Attach little nerve endings, go to different areas of the body, the digestive tract, right?
So original medical medium information about the vagus nerves, about how it works with anxiety, all of that, and how it happens in the gastrointestinal tract, how gastroparesis can be an injured vagus nerve, all that information goes back with the medical medium, right?
But what happens is that people don't know about how it works is your nerve is inflamed.
So you have inflammation of the nerve somewhere.
So inflammation of the vagus nerves somewhere throughout the body.
So a lot of people have inflammation of the vagus nerves up by the brainstem.
That can create a different form of panic or anxiety or in some type of nervousness.
Okay. Someone else might have inflammation down lower on the vagus nerve, somewhere in the gut,
somewhere around the gut. Somebody else can have inflammation on the vagus nerve around the heart.
So it's also about where that inflammation is that determines the different variations of
anxiety somebody has. So let's go into it a little bit deeper on this, right? Some people
have anxiety where it's crippling, where the attacks come on, they seize up, they get numb
all through their body, their legs get numb, their hands get numb, they can't breathe, they think
they're going to die. Well, that's anxiety that's happening far up, further up head, further up
brainstem, right? Further up there versus somebody else that has inflammation to the vagus nerve
somewhere down lower by the stomach. And then they have this pit of the stomach thing. They
have this nervousness. They have these butterflies in their stomach, like something where they feel
like their anxiety attack is their stomach flips where it's constantly flipping. And they have this
feeling of that sensation and they can't breathe good because their stomach is all tense and tight.
They have that type of inflammation down lower. Okay. Versus somebody who actually has a different
situation and that inflammation is up higher and the brainstem up higher and the nerves up here.
So it all depends too on where that inflammation is. So another thing with the vagus nerve,
the vagus nerve is blocked in some way because of the inflammation signals going down that nerve
aren't communicating properly with other parts of the body, like with organs and stuff like that.
So let's go into tightness of the chest a little bit. Okay. Tightness of the chest is a big one
with anxiety. I know so many of you guys that are even watching this now have dealt with that
tightness of the chest and that feeling where you can't breathe and you can't get air in,
or the feeling like you're having a difficult connecting to your breath or your chest feels
tight where you have a tightness in the chest, right? So a lot of people have that variety of
anxiety right there. So when they have that tightness of the chest, that means the inflammation
that they're dealing with is coming from a higher level versus a lower level somewhere else in the
vagus nerve. It's more of an upper higher area of the vagus nerve. So a common inflammation of the
vagus nerve sending signals to the lungs, making it feel like tying this to the chest is low grade
viral neurotoxins. So we'll go into the viral aspect a little bit here. A lot of people that
are dealing with viruses, whether it's herpes simplex one, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr,
shingles, obscene bar is a big one right there. The obscene bar neurotoxins produced by the virus
get released and those neurotoxins land on the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve then starts to swell.
When the vagus nerve starts to swell, it's hypersensitive. That means hypersensitive,
whereas you're breathing, you feel the nerve and that feeling starts to interfere with someone
being able to breathe easy or they get that tightness of the chest because that vagus nerve
is inflamed and so when the vagus nerve is swollen that's when signals also get disrupted and they
can't reach the destinations they want to reach in a timely fashion which can happen too which gives
a lot of people different thought problems with their anxiety and different reactions with their
emotions and with their, with the anxiety combined. A lot of people, it's like a catch 22.
You get the PTSD with their anxiety, and then you get the emotions with the anxiety because the
anxiety itself is so emotionally stimulating and exhausting that it's this constant vicious cycle
of panic attacks or, or adrenaline surges with the panic attacks, right? And the anxiety attacks
all combined. But when our vagus nerve gets sensitive because it's inflamed, that's when we
can feel things more and we become hypersensitive. Like a lot of people feel like their skin's
crawling and they got to run and they got to move. They got to, you ever hear of the person that's
like, well, what I do is how I deal with my anxieties. I go on my treadmill, you know, or
how I deal with my anxieties. I go out for a jog. I go out for a run. I'll go run five miles. You
know, I'll go run a few miles because, you know, that tends to blow off my anxiety. It's that
person who can do that, right? And then there's that person that's like, are you kidding? When
I'm having anxiety, I can't run. I can't do a five mile run. I can't do any of that sort. And then
there's that person where if they're already sick and they have chronic illness and they have
chronic symptoms and conditions and already living with pain and suffering, they can't just go out
and go do a jog to knock off some anxiety. They're dealing with chronic fatigue. They're dealing with
other symptoms and issues or body pain, joint pain. It's not something they can easily do.
So it's like you get that person who really has just a little bit of anxiety. They can just go
run off their anxiety. And then you get that person who's chronically sick with a lot of
anxiety for all these other reasons. And they can't go and do that. That's how many differences
there are. But people will be like, I got anxiety. Another person like, Hey, I got anxiety, but it's
entirely different kinds of anxiety. A big part of that is when the vagus nerve is inflamed,
It depends on where it's inflamed, where it's swelling, which can give somebody anxiety in the stomach.
It can give them anxiety in the back.
It's another thing, too.
Or it feels like you've got anxiety in the back here where your kidneys are, the whole bit, and you feel that.
It can make it feel like you've got anxiety in the chest, in the throat, right?
Where the anxiety hits the person, and instantly they just feel choked up,
and they feel like they can't really get their words out,
and they feel pressure like on their throat, a tightness on their throat or anything like that.
And then you get people where it's in their head, where the anxiety gets triggered,
where they feel it in the brain. They feel it tickling in the brain. They feel
sensations in the brain and it feels like it's their brain is freezing and that's an anxiety.
That's the vagus nerve reacting to from really up high brainstem related up there.
Anyway, guys, it's a little talk about anxiety. There's more anxiety. I'm going to be more
information on it really, really detailed in the brain books that you guys can check out sometime
too, right? For pre-order, you'll check those out as well. But anyway, I can't wait to see you next
week. This concludes this week's exclusive newsletter video and looking forward to next week.
