Anxiety disorders can be linked to chemical imbalances in the body, along with other physiological factors such as sleep, diet, and exercise. Hormonal imbalance can reduce or increase your anxiety. It can be very exhausting if we have been experiencing chronic stress that then turns into anxiety.
What is anxiety and how does it happen? Anxiety is our body’s natural response to stress. Everyone at one point in their life experiences anxiety whether it is their first day at work or giving a speech in front of many people. All the hormones are affected by anxiety as well as anxiety is affected by all the hormones in our body.
In women, it is essential to get your progesterone and estrogen levels balanced and in men balanced levels of testosterone are crucial. At the same time, it is essential to modify your response in a stressful situation to eliminate anxiety.

To achieve balanced hormonal production in our body, there are few things that we can do. Fundamentally, we should communicate with ourselves and try to know ourselves better. We can not always avoid stressful situations, there would be times that we will have to step out of our comfort zone. The most important thing is that we know which situation is the trigger of our anxiety and how to deal with it.

First, we should focus on the situation and calm ourselves down, so our hormone cortisol remains stable. Cortisol is a vital hormone when it comes to stress. Cortisol causes an increase in heart rate and blood pressure. It is your natural “flight or fight” response.
Secondly, we need to find some breathing exercise or any technique that would work for us to calm down such as doing exercise, yoga, or meditation. The last and most important thing would be to focus on our diet as we all know that the gut and brain have a very deep connection. Serotonin is secreted in the gut and lack of serotonin can lead to anxiety, in other words, “Happy Gut Happy Mind”. However, after doing all the things above, if you still feel that you are not feeling your best. It would be the time where you would visit your general physician and get a consultation for further proper management.
