How to Reduce Anxiety, Fatigue, and Prostate Issues Naturally

TL;DR
Panic attacks and anxiety often stem from a B1 deficiency, so combine natural B1 with magnesium glycinate, breathe slowly through the nose, cut carbs, and try intermittent fasting. Magnesium glycinate is favored because it absorbs best, and most people need far more than the label amount for a therapeutic effect.

Key Insights
- Anxiety and panic attacks are often driven by a severe B1 deficiency, and B1 requires magnesium to work, so combining natural B1 with magnesium glycinate can pull someone out of a panic state.
- Slow nasal breathing, in and out through the nose, can interrupt a panic attack, including when you wake in the middle of the night and lie there unable to sleep.
- Magnesium glycinate is the preferred form because it is absorbed the most compared with forms like magnesium oxide or citrate, which deliver only a small fraction to the body.
- Waking up tired is commonly caused by either sleep apnea or insufficient magnesium, since magnesium is central to making ATP and is described as the most important mineral for energy.
- Tongue-strengthening exercises can open the airways for people with sleep apnea, helping them wake more refreshed instead of feeling unrejuvenated after sleep.
- Lupus, an autoimmune problem, may respond to a high-dose vitamin D3 protocol monitored by a doctor, run in parallel with rebuilding the gut microbiome to support the immune system.
- An enlarged prostate can be worsened by endocrine disruptors and dairy, so eliminating dairy, using DIM to balance estrogens, checking testosterone and DHT, and intermittent fasting are recommended.
- Therapeutic supplement doses require co-factors, since vitamin D works optimally alongside nutrients like zinc and B6, and missing co-factors can make supplements underperform.

Questions & Answers
Q: How can I reduce anxiety and stop constant panic attacks naturally?
Start by breathing slowly in and out through your nose, which can pull you out of a panic attack, including at night when you wake and lie there unable to sleep. The underlying issue is often a severe B1 deficiency, and B1 needs magnesium to work, so take natural B1 together with magnesium glycinate. Also cut down on carbohydrates, avoid snacks, and do intermittent fasting to move out of the anxiety and panic state.
Q: Why do I always wake up feeling tired even after sleeping?
Waking up tired is typically caused by one of two things. The first is sleep apnea, where you are not getting enough air while sleeping; tongue-strengthening exercises can open the airways so you wake more refreshed. The second is a lack of magnesium, which is central to making ATP and is described as the most important mineral. Taking more magnesium, eating sufficient good animal protein, and doing intermittent fasting can raise your energy.
Q: What is the best form of magnesium and how much should I take?
Magnesium glycinate is preferred because it is absorbed the most, unlike magnesium oxide or citrate, where only a small fraction is actually absorbed, so the label amount can end up doing almost nothing. Standard RDA figures are described as barebone survival amounts, and a larger therapeutic dosage spread through the day is suggested rather than taken all at once. It is also worth reading the label to ensure co-factors are present, since some nutrients work best together.
Q: What are the best remedies for lupus?
Lupus is an autoimmune problem, and one approach is a protocol using high doses of vitamin D3, monitored through lab testing by a qualified doctor to regulate and increase vitamin D so the immune system starts working properly. In parallel, focus heavily on rebuilding the gut microbiome, because there are many connections between diseases and an imbalanced microbiome. Strengthening the gut supports the immune system, and lupus in particular may show good changes when the microbiome is improved.
Q: How can I naturally shrink an enlarged prostate?
Focus first on diet and do more intermittent fasting, including periodic prolonged fasting, which the prostate responds very well to, especially if prostate problems run in your family. Eliminate all forms of dairy because of its anabolic, growth-promoting hormonal effects. Consider DIM, a concentrated cruciferous compound, to help balance estrogens raised by endocrine disruptors. Check that testosterone is normal, and note that saw palmetto can help balance DHT, which in the wrong amounts can contribute to enlargement.
Q: Why does a colder bedroom temperature make my nose clog at night?
A stuffy nose at night may reflect humidity, or seasonal factors like pollen if a window is open. Some people simply cannot sleep in a cold bedroom, and warming the feet with socks can help them sleep even when the room is cold, though that addresses sleep rather than the nose directly. If stuffiness is year round, it could involve a fungal imbalance, in which case a diluted nasal rinse using a microbe source and nasal strips or tape to open the sinuses may help.
Q: Can taking supplements alone fix a nutrient deficiency?
Supplements only work when taken in the right form, the right amount, and with the necessary co-factors. Many people take a poorly absorbed form or too small a dose and conclude it did nothing, when the real problem is absorption or an insufficient therapeutic dosage. Certain nutrients also depend on partners; for example, vitamin D works optimally alongside nutrients like zinc and B6, so if those are missing or deficient, the supplement may not perform as well as expected.
Q: What is said about castor oil packs for shrinking liver cysts?
There is interesting data on castor oil packs placed over the liver, and many people swear by them, though exactly how they penetrate is not clearly understood. A cyst represents a kind of encapsulation, where the body tries to wall off, hide, or protect you from exposure to something toxic. Much about cysts remains unknown, but the packs are mentioned as something people report benefit from, alongside a general acknowledgment that the mechanism is not fully explained.
Summary & Key Takeaways
-
For constant anxiety and panic attacks, the recommendation is to breathe slowly through the nose, address a likely severe B1 deficiency by pairing natural B1 with magnesium glycinate, cut down on carbohydrates, avoid snacks, and do intermittent fasting to move out of the panic state.
-
Waking tired points to sleep apnea, which tongue exercises can help by opening the airways, or to low magnesium, which drives ATP production. Magnesium glycinate is favored for absorption, and most people need far more than the label amount, plus co-factors, for a real effect.
-
For an enlarged prostate with a family history, the advice is to eliminate dairy, add DIM to balance estrogens, check testosterone and DHT with saw palmetto to balance DHT, and emphasize diet with intermittent fasting and periodic prolonged fasting, which the prostate responds well to.
