In this episode, Dr. Nicole Cain—naturopathic doctor, clinical psychologist, and author of Panic Proof—shows how to design a personalized Panic-Proof plan that addresses anxiety at its source. We unpack the nine anxiety types and why labeling everything as “panic” misses the root drivers.

She lays out a practical blueprint: nervous-system regulation (breath, cold exposure, somatic mapping, paced recovery), gut–brain repair (nutrition, psychobiotics, inflammation reduction), targeted lifestyle shifts (sleep, light, movement), and trauma-informed tools (values-based exposures, parts work, micro-habits).

You’ll learn how to sequence change over 90 days, match interventions to your anxiety type, and measure progress without perfectionism. Whether you’re navigating panic attacks or low-grade dread, this conversation offers a clear, compassionate path from symptom management to lasting nervous-system safety—and a plan you can actually follow.
