Political Anxiety and Stress Spikes in the US
Wow! The number of stress spikes I’m seeing is off the charts again. The majority are saying they’re stressed out and anxious due to the current political climate. Remember, stress can have an impact on our numbers. Both thyroid and antibodies.
Resolutions for minimizing unavoidable stress…
Minimize spikes by diligently checking your labs and changing your dose and iodine intake to maintain optimal levels. Catch changes quickly before they get out of hand.
Edible lavender. Lavender can be taken several times a day.
Lemon balm tea. Make as many cups as you like.
L-Theanine. Promotes a general feeling of calm. Can be taken daily or every other day.
Meditation and breathing excersizes. Our high heart rates can cause low oxygen saturation. Spend a minute deep breathing several times a day along with your meditation.
Lavender scents from candles and oils in your environment help promote general calmness.
Epsom salt baths. Take a nice relaxing soak! I buy lavender epsom salt. Epsom salt is actually magnesium so no iodine.
Take action! If you disagree with what’s being done and what’s happening, call your representatives, join marches, join communities who share your views.
I hope these suggestions help!! Have a lovely calm day!!
