Anxiety

We always say here at my pet nutritionist, you can never underestimate how stressful it is to the liver in a 21st century home. This coupled with genetics and other environmental factors can make this a layered issue. We look at all aspects of health including genetic mutations, inflammation, intolerances, and gut health.

We are yet to meet a dog that doesn’t experience some form of anxiety whilst living in a 21st century home. Not only can anxiety be experience-driven, but we have discovered like humans, certain genetic mutations may be present when forming or degrading neurotransmitters in the body.

We have also found that forms of anxiety and depression can be created or accelerated from cytokine inflammation in the body. Depression, anxiety and general mood are also closely linked to poor gut microbiota and the gut-brain axis.

We often incorporate a naturopathic wellness package that encompasses lifestyle changes and incorporates a fresh diet, genetic checks, nutritional deficiency tests and functional medicine.
