Most people dealing with physical symptoms spend months — sometimes years — going from doctor to doctor, running tests, getting told nothing is wrong. But something clearly is. The problem isn't that medicine failed them. It's that anxiety does far more to the body than most people realize.

In this episode, I break down seven physical symptoms that almost nobody connects to anxiety — including ones I personally experienced during my own recovery. Once you understand why these symptoms happen, they stop feeling so frightening.

You'll learn:

why anxiety creates a lump-in-the-throat sensation that has nothing to do with your throat
what your constant yawning is actually telling you about your nervous system
why brain fog from anxiety is not a sign that something is seriously wrong
why symptoms often get worse when you finally relax — and what's actually happening when that occurs
why anxiety can make you cry with no obvious reason
how survival mode shuts down your appetite and digestion
what anxiety does to your vision and why it clears up as you heal
