S3 EP 01: Your Brain and Anxiety: An Interview With A Functional Neurologist

The Holistic Anxiety Fix Podcast

This podcast episode is going to change your perspective about anxiety. In this episode, I interview Dr. Jared Seigler who is a functional neurologist. He talks at length about the neurological basis of anxiety and how he uses different healing techniques to cure anxiety.

According to functional neurology, anxiety is one of the primitive responses of our brain. As a result of traumatic brain injury, the brain goes into a reflexive state. When you are anxious, your brain is actually looking out for you. Emotional stress, physical stress, mold and parasites infestation, gut infections, autoimmune disorders, and head injury all can trigger the reflexive part of the brain, brainstem.

Our brainstem controls our basic reflexes that we can’t consciously control while frontal cortex is responsible for our conscious activities. It turns out our brainstem is often stronger than our cortex, which is why we are sometime unable to control anxiety by conscious thought process. Over time, the learned behavioral reflexes get hardwired in our brain and essentially control us. To heal the brain from toxic patterns, functional neurologists use different activation techniques that stimulate selective parts of the brain. Tune in to know more about this game changing approach to healing anxiety and its benefits to restore your mental health!
