Passion Flower: widening the conversation around anxiety
At Sloth MD, we’re expanding the way we talk about Passion Flower—because anxiety is not a niche issue, and support shouldn’t be either.
Anxiety quietly affects millions, especially in midlife. The data is telling:
• Peak anxiety age: Anxiety levels are highest between 40–60, with a notable peak around ages 50–54
• Prevalence: About 20.6%–22.7% of adults aged 30–59 experience an anxiety disorder in any given year
• Gender differences: Women in midlife—particularly during the perimenopause and menopause transition—often experience higher anxiety linked to hormonal shifts, insomnia, and vasomotor symptoms
• Key drivers: Work-life pressure, financial strain, caregiving for both children and aging parents, and growing health concerns
• Across ages: While anxiety is often associated with younger adults, 15.2% of adults aged 45–64 report anxiety symptoms as well—proving this is not “something you grow out of”
This is where Passion Flower enters the conversation.
Passion Flower has long been reported as a gentle yet effective ally for people experiencing anxiety across these demographics—supporting nervous system regulation without numbing, sedating, or suppressing emotional clarity. It meets people where they are: busy professionals, caregivers, women navigating hormonal change, and anyone carrying the invisible weight of constant mental pressure.
At Sloth MD, we’re committed to bringing awareness to this botanical not as a trend, but as a meaningful option for real people, in real life, at real stages of transition.
Because anxiety doesn’t look the same for everyone.
And support shouldn’t either.
From women, for women — Sloth MD Passion Flower.
