Dr. Nicole Cain is a leading expert in resolving anxiety and has helped thousands of patients break free from panic and build lasting mental wellness. In this insightful interview for the MindHealth360Show, she shares the powerful methods behind her revolutionary approach to treating anxiety. Author of the book Panic Proof: The New Holistic Solution to End Your Anxiety Forever, Dr. Cain brings a unique and multidisciplinary perspective to mental health. With a degree in clinical psychology, training in EMDR, and a license as a naturopathic physician, she incorporates medical, psychological, and holistic approaches to healing, and successfully bridges the gap between biochemical and psycho-spiritual factors to address anxiety from multiple angles. In this compelling and complex conversation, Dr. Cain introduces the 9 distinct types of anxiety (thought anxiety, chest anxiety, gut anxiety, depressive anxiety, nervous system anxiety, anger anxiety, endocrine anxiety, trauma anxiety, and immune system anxiety), emphasising that our different experiences of anxiety require tailored treatments. She highlights the importance of identifying the root-causes of anxiety for sustainable and effective healing and reminds us that anxiety is not caused solely by a stressor, but by how we respond to it in states of sympathetic activation. She outlines her ‘panic proof' strategies that focus on mind, body and soul for healing from anxiety and panic attacks, and explains why focusing on our bodies, sensation, touch and connection is so important. With real warmth and optimism, Dr. Cain reassures us that we are designed to heal, offering a message of hope: recovery from anxiety is not only possible – it's within reach. In this episode you will learn: How anxiety and panic coexist on a spectrum, with panic at one extreme and generalised anxiety at the other. Why a trauma and biology-informed approach is essential, and how addressing both the biochemical and psycho-spiritual aspects of anxiety leads to deeper healing. Why anxiety originates in the body, and how thoughts are attached to those physical sensations – rather than the other way around. How to identify early “canary” warning signals of anxiety and why each person's experience is unique. Why we can't simply “talk” ourselves out of feeling anxious, and ways that trauma is stored in non-verbal parts of our brains, influencing anxiety in ways we might not consciously recognise. Why anxiety becomes maladaptive when it is not proportional to a threat, and ways maladaptive behaviours are those that stop you from adapting to new or difficult circumstances. The neurophysiology of anxiety – understanding anxiety as a stress response that results from the nervous system getting "stuck” in a heightened state - and why it's rooted in the reaction, rather than in the stressor. The root-causes of anxiety, including environmental toxins, moulds, infections, hormone, nutritional and neurotransmitter imbalances, inflammation, trauma, and adverse childhood experiences - and how these biochemical and psycho-spiritual factors interplay. The 9 types of anxiety – thought anxiety, chest anxiety, gut anxiety, depressive anxiety, nervous system anxiety, anger anxiety, endocrine anxiety, trauma anxiety, immune system anxiety – the typical symptoms of each, and how each type informs targeted treatment strategies. How the brain's salience network contributes to anxiety, and why excessive sensory stimuli (screens, social media, blue light, toxins) can trigger panic. How to shift from asking “how do I make the anxiety stop?” to “what is my body telling me I need” - and why listening to our bodies informs healing strategies. How experiencing physical touch and building meaningful human connections play a vital role in recovery. Why asking “how can I become more of myself?” rather than “how do I fix myself?” can be a powerful tool reframes how we accept and heal from anxiety. 3 key foundational strategies that build resilience and adaptability; 1: meeting core human needs (prioritising connection, proper nutrition, hydration, warmth) 2: removing obstacles to healing (toxic relationships, unfulfilling jobs, and unhealthy environments) 3: strengthening brain/body health (herbal medicine, detoxification, micro-dosing, targeted nutrition, movement, bodywork, sauna therapy, and massage) A practical demo of the “3 minute hack” ,tips for panic attack prevention, and why self-compassion and care transform our experiences of anxiety.

Nicholas Hool, Ph.D. Founder and CEO of Hoolest Performance Technologies, Inc. Creator of the VeRelief Prime High Strength Drug-Free Stress Recovery Tool. Hool received his Ph.D. in biomedical engineering at ASU under a world renowned consumer neuromodulation expert.

We are joined by Kyle Davies for an insightful conversation about "letting go" and ways to promote health and well-being through a holistic approach. Kyle shares his journey and insights on shifting from a cognitive to a body-centered approach, emphasizing the importance of internal control and the need to surrender excessive control for a more natural and effortless flow of life. We also discussed the challenges people face when dealing with health issues, the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, and the importance of acknowledging and accepting emotions without trying to control them. Kyle's approach is to walk a path with his clients, maybe staying just one step ahead, applying the principles and practices together, on an experiential and ultimately transformational journey. He helps clients understand how their minds work. This goes beyond simple tools and techniques. Connect with Kyle Davies: https://energyflowcoaching.com/ Additional Resources:

In this episode of The Simplicity Sessions, I sit down with Dr. Nicole Cain, a leading expert in trauma-informed clinical psychology and holistic medicine, to discuss her groundbreaking book "Panic Proof" and her personal journey from anxiety to embodied healing. What struck me most about our conversation was Nicole's radical honesty about her own path – from being the "expert" who had all the tools (supplements, acupuncture, pharmaceuticals, you name it!) to finding herself in what she calls "the dark circle of hell" with debilitating anxiety and insomnia. Her vulnerability in sharing how she had to burn everything to the ground and get genuinely curious about what her body was trying to tell her is both inspiring and deeply relatable. We dive deep into: The profound shift from asking "what's wrong with me?" to "what is my body telling me?" How childhood adaptations (like being the family peacekeeper) can become anxiety triggers in adulthood Why having all the "right" tools sometimes isn't enough The power of pattern interrupts and completely surrenders in healing How to reclaim authorship of your own story when others have been writing it for you This conversation is especially powerful for anyone feeling disconnected from themselves, struggling with anxiety, or navigating major life transitions. Nicole's approach beautifully bridges the gap between clinical expertise and embodied wisdom, showing us that our symptoms aren't problems to be solved – they're messages to be understood. Whether you're a healthcare practitioner, someone on their own healing journey, or simply curious about the mind-body connection, this episode offers a fresh perspective on anxiety and what it means to truly come home to ourselves. Join us for this soul-nourishing conversation about reclaiming our innate wisdom and learning to trust our bodies again. Let's dive in! Thank you for joining us today.
