Anxiety can show up in many forms: racing thoughts, insomnia, irritability, digestive issues, or even chronic pain. Traditional treatments often focus on symptom management through medication or cognitive therapy, but they may fail to uncover why your body is reacting this way in the first place.

Read Dr. Boyd's most recent blog to learn the 5 most common root causes of anxiety.
