Anxiety often shows up as a racing mind, tight chest, difficulty focusing, or a constant hum of tension in the background of daily life. Modern life places heavy demands on our nervous system. Over time, this can impact sleep, digestion, immunity, mood, and overall wellbeing.
Thankfully, with the right tools, healthy habits, and targeted nutritional support, you can calm your system and build emotional resilience over the long term. Here’s what our team recommends for supporting a calmer mind.
Kayla Urquhart, Naturopath, says:
“Try adding movement into every day with a gentle walk, stretching, or even gardening. These rhythmic activities help regulate stress hormones naturally.”
Kayla recommends:
- Designs for Health TriGandha — an exclusive blend of three Ashwagandha extracts used traditionally to support stress resilience and emotional balance.
- Herbs of Gold Mind Ease — formulated to calm the mind, reduce nervous tension, and support healthy mood.
Amy Imprasertsuk, Nutritionist, explains:
“For many people, anxiety feels physical — tight chest, racing heart, shallow breathing. Grounding techniques like slow exhales or walking barefoot can interrupt that cycle.”
Grounding works by sending strong signals to the brain that you are safe, helping your nervous system down-regulate.
Amy recommends:
- Medlab Mg Optima Relax Powder — a magnesium formula with L-Theanine to support healthy stress response by calming the body and unwinding the mind.

Daily Practices to Reduce Anxiety
Each of these practices works by gently soothing the nervous system. Remember that consistency matters more than intensity.
✔ Take slow, extended exhales — longer exhales activate the parasympathetic nervous system.
✔ Ground physically — walk barefoot on grass, hold something cold, or press your feet firmly into the floor.
✔ Add gentle movement — a walk, stretch session, or time in the garden.
✔ Prioritise sleep — poor sleep quality heightens anxiety and makes emotional regulation harder.
✔ Reduce stimulants — coffee, energy drinks, and even strong black tea can heighten anxiety.
✔ Eat regularly — blood sugar instability often mimics (and worsens) anxiety symptoms.
✔ Limit phone use during wind-down hours — overstimulation fuels mental restlessness.
Anxiety Support for Long-Term Wellbeing
It is impossible to remove stress from our lives. Managing anxiety comes down to giving your nervous system the tools to cope, recover, and remain steady. With the right combination of habits, nutrition, and practitioner support, you can create a long-term foundation for emotional resilience.
Our naturopaths and nutritionists are here to help tailor a plan that supports your mood, sleep, and overall wellbeing.
