SCIENTISTS FIND ANXIETY ‘OFF SWITCH’ HIDDEN IN THE BRAIN

Turns out, your cerebellum—long thought to just control movement—has been secretly regulating anxiety this whole time.

New research shows that boosting serotonin in this brain region slams the brakes on anxiety, making mice more confident and less fearful.

Lower serotonin? Anxiety spikes.

For years, serotonin was seen as an anxiety trigger. Looks like the cerebellum just rewrote the rulebook.

Many people are healing all sorts of medical conditions on a carnivore diet. It's the ultimate eliminatiin diet. It's been discovered that the brain prefers to run on ketone bodies instead of glucose. This balances out the brain's chemistry. It's truly a miracle cure for so many with anxiety, depression, bipolar and even schizophrenia...💪

The cause of all the (individual and nationwide) anxiety is the bigger question. "Switching" anxiety off, is fighting the symptom.
