Looking for a supplement for anxiety?
Anxiety is the body’s normal reaction to a perceived sense of threat or danger- known as the ‘fight or flight’ response.
During this response, a part of our nervous system called the ‘sympathetic nervous system’ is activated, triggering an acute stress response preparing us to fight or flee. It is quite common for this reaction to occur for example when we are faced with a challenging situation, facing any kind of uncertainty, feeling pressurised, feeling worried or in fear and is a completely normal and healthy bodily response. However, activation of this bodily system over prolonged periods of time can have a detrimental impact on health and can lead to the progression of anxiety related disorders of the nervous system.
But don’t worry, all is not lost – aguulp is here to help.

So, what’s happening in my body when I have anxiety?
During periods of anxiety or stress, lots of physiological changes occur inside the body to help prepare us for ‘fight or flight’. Internally, a major stress hormone known as cortisol (amongst others such as adrenaline) is secreted by our adrenal glands at a higher than usual rate. As a result, our heart rate increases and can lead to physical symptoms such as sweating, digestive upset (vomiting and diarrhoea), feeling nauseous, breathless, feeling shaky and dizziness. Persistent rates of increased cortisol release can disrupt hormones and lead to an imbalanced stress response, negatively affecting not only the nervous system but many other bodily systems too.
top tips for reducing anxiety
- Top Tip 1: Breathing techniques– can aid the body in moving from the “fight or flight” mode into a resting state. When we are anxious, we tend to take shallow breaths known as “mouth-breathing”, which can worsen anxiety. It is important to focus on breathing and take deep slow breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth which can help to slow breathing down and move the body into a calm (‘parasympathetic’ as opposed to ‘sympathetic’) state.
- Top Tip 2: Blood sugar management– When our blood sugar levels fluctuate this can increase cortisol release, placing the body into fight or flight’ mode and can impact our mood, energy levels and hormones, worsening anxiety. Ways to balance blood sugars naturally, are to include protein and fibre with each meal and snack which helps to slow down the release of sugar into the blood stream. Eating little and often can also help prevent blood sugar fluctuations, as can avoiding refined carbohydrates and sugar in the diet.
- Top Tip 3: Exercise – exercise is important for both mental and emotional wellbeing as it can increase feel good endorphins as well as improving resistance to stress. Exercise induces structural and functional changes in the brain that have positive benefits on cognitive function and wellbeing, according to studies. Exercise has been shown to help improve energy levels, sleep and mood and reduce stress and anxiety.
- Top Tip 5: Support healthy bowel flora: Research has shown that probiotics exert beneficial effects on our mental health and our nervous system. Probiotics play an important role in the production of neurochemicals such as serotonin and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) which modulate our mood and our response to stress by activating neural pathways between the gut and the brain. Furthermore, whilst research is only in it’s infancy, specific strains of bacteria have been shown to specifically help with mental health, such as the Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium Longum and Lactobacillus casei family of bacteria, all of which are included in our aguulp for biome probiotic.
