Stress & Anxiety Treatment
Stress and anxiety can quietly take over — the racing thoughts at 3 a.m., the tight chest before a big meeting, the feeling that you can’t fully relax even on your days off. If that sounds familiar, you’re not broken, and you’re not alone. I work with people to calm their nervous systems and help them feel like themselves again.
Understanding Stress & Anxiety
Stress and anxiety show up differently for everyone — constant worry, irritability, trouble sleeping, digestive upset, muscle tension, or a sense of dread you can’t quite name. Common drivers include work pressure, life transitions, emotional strain, poor sleep, overstimulation, and a nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight. High-functioning people are often hit hardest, because they keep pushing through until their body forces them to stop.
How Adam Treats Stress & Anxiety
My approach starts with understanding your unique stress pattern — what’s weighing on you, how it shows up in your body, and what you’ve already tried. I combine acupuncture with functional medicine principles to calm your nervous system in the short term and build real resilience underneath. This isn’t about masking symptoms; it’s about helping your body remember what calm feels like.
Acupuncture for Stress & Anxiety
Acupuncture is deeply calming for the nervous system — many of my patients describe a stillness they haven’t felt in years, sometimes right in the first session. By easing the body out of fight-or-flight and supporting a balanced stress response, regular treatment can quiet anxious feelings, improve sleep, and make everyday stressors feel far more manageable.
Functional Medicine for Stress & Anxiety
Through a functional medicine lens, I look at what’s keeping your stress response stuck in overdrive — things like sleep quality, blood sugar balance, caffeine and alcohol habits, nutrient gaps such as magnesium and B vitamins, gut health, and daily rhythms. Practical, personalized shifts in these areas often create a calmer baseline that makes everything else easier.
Supplements I often suggest
For stress and anxiety, these are the supplements I suggest most often in my practice:
- Adaptogen-R3 (Premier Research Labs) — Full-spectrum adaptogens including rhodiola for occasional mental and physical stress.
- NeuroCalm (Designs for Health) — Supports GABA and serotonin activity for calm, mood, and satisfaction.
- Insomnitol (Designs for Health) — Botanicals and neurotransmitter precursors for restful sleep and relaxation.
