5 natural, science-backed ways to suppress anxiety ranked from least to most effective

Anxiety affects a wide demographic, from young professionals facing workplace stress to individuals dealing with chronic health conditions and seniors experiencing social isolation. Studies indicate that anxiety disorders impacted over 300 million adults in 2019 (1), making it one of the most prevalent mental health challenges globally.

Let’s explore five powerful methods to naturally suppress anxiety and stress without relying on medication.


#5. External environment adjustments

Underlying Problem:

Our environment plays a crucial role in shaping our mental state. A cluttered, noisy, or high-pressure working environment can increase stress levels, making it difficult to focus, relax, sometimes even breathe normally. Additional external exposure to artificial lighting and a lack of natural elements can further exacerbate feelings of anxiety.

Scientific Proof:

Studies have shown that exposure to natural light and decluttering environments can significantly reduce cortisol levels and improve overall mental well-being.

Action Steps:

  • Declutter Your Space: Organize your living and working areas to create a calming atmosphere that doesn't distract.

  • Push Deadlines (Where Possible): Negotiate realistic timelines to avoid burnout.

  • Gain Expertise: Take online courses or seek mentorship to build confidence and reduce stress from feeling underqualified.

  • Increase Natural Light Exposure: Go for mid-day walks and spend more time outdoors. You can also adjust your workspace to maximize sunlight.

Pros:

  • Easy to implement with immediate effects.

  • Improves overall well-being and productivity.

Limitations:

  • Requires consistent effort to maintain an optimal environment.

  • Some factors, such as workplace environments, may be beyond personal control.

#4. Advanced deep breathing techniques used by Navy SEALs

Underlying Problem:

Shallow, rapid breathing is a common response to stress and can exacerbate feelings of anxiety by sending signals to the brain that the body is in danger. Elite military personnel, such as marines, use specialized breathing techniques to remain calm under extreme pressure.

Image

Scientific Proof:

100+ well-managed studies show that controlled breathing techniques can significantly lower heart rate and improve cognitive function under stress.

Action Steps:

  • Tactical Breathing: Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, exhale for 4 seconds, and repeat.

  • Box Breathing: Inhale, hold, exhale, and hold for equal counts of 5-5-5-5.

  • Controlled Exhalation: Focus on prolonging exhalation to activate the parasympathetic nervous system.

  • Breath Awareness: Practice noticing breath patterns to quickly adjust in high-pressure situations.

Pros:

  • Easy to implement with immediate effects.

  • Improves overall well-being and productivity.

Limitations:

  • Requires consistent effort to maintain an optimal environment.

  • Some factors, such as workplace environments, may be beyond personal control.

#3. Practicing holistic mindfulness

Underlying Problem:

Modern life is filled with distractions that pull our attention in multiple directions, making it difficult to stay present and causing unnecessary stress. Naval Ravikant, a proponent of mindfulness, suggests practicing it constantly to stay in the moment and reduce mental chatter, which is particularly useful in a work environment that demands multitasking and quick decision-making.

Image

Scientific Proof:

Over 200+ studies have shown that mindfulness practices can lead to structural changes in the brain, enhancing emotional regulation and reducing stress levels.

Action Steps:

  • Practice Constant Awareness: Bring attention to your thoughts and surroundings throughout the day.

  • Clear Your Mind (and Schedule) Regularly: Dedicate time each day for focused work entering a flow state.

  • Incorporate Mindful Walking: Engage fully with your environment while walking.

  • Journal Your Thoughts: Reflect on your experiences and emotions to gain clarity.

  • Single-Tasking: Focus on one task at a time to enhance productivity and reduce stress.

Pros:

  • Helps build long-term emotional resilience.

  • Can be practiced anywhere, all the time.

Limitations:

  • Requires discipline and consistency to see results.

  • May take years to develop a deep practice.

#2. Nutrition and organic supplements

Underlying Problem:

Nutritional deficiencies can contribute to increased anxiety levels by affecting neurotransmitter function and hormonal balance. Poor diet choices, such as processed foods and caffeine overconsumption, can exacerbate stress and mood instability, leading to decreased concentration and energy levels at work.

Image

Scientific Proof:

Research has linked omega-3 fatty acids and adaptogens to reduced cortisol levels and improved mood regulation.

Action Steps:

  • Increase Magnesium Intake: Include nuts, seeds, and leafy greens in your diet.

  • Take Omega-3 (Fish Oil) Supplements: Support brain function with fish oil or flaxseeds.

  • Try Adaptogens: Herbs like ashwagandha and rhodiola help the body manage stress.

  • Focus on Gut Health: Incorporate probiotics through yogurt, kefir, or supplements.

  • Plan Nutrient-Rich Meals: Prepare balanced meals to ensure a steady intake of essential nutrients.

Pros:

  • Enhances overall health and resilience to stress.

  • Provides long-term benefits with regular practice.

Limitations:

  • Results may take time to manifest.

  • Requires dietary discipline and consistency.

#1. Vagus nerve activation daily routine with Nurosym

UNDERLYING PROBLEM:

The Vagus Nerve plays a critical role in regulating the body’s stress response. When it is underactive, the body remains in a heightened state of fight-or-flight, leading to persistent anxiety and poor recovery from stress. This is particularly problematic for individuals dealing with high workloads and performance pressure. Unlike other methods that require time and habit-building, Nurosym provides immediate relief with zero effort—just put it on and go about your day.

files/Auricular_Vagus_Nerve_Therapy_AVNT.png

Scientific Proof:

  • 50+ Nurosym clinical studies with leading institutions such as Harvard Medical School have demonstrated that Vagus Nerve Stimulation can significantly reduce symptoms of anxiety and improve emotional regulation.

  • 35% reduction in BURNS Anxiety index reported by study population (see below).

2-4x more effective Vagus Nerve activation than meditation or breathing

Parasym study: 35% reduction in anxiety symptoms and stress responses.

Our research has shown that targeted stimulation of the vagus nerve increases vagal tone and inhibits cytokine production in the inflammatory process. Both are important mechanisms for anxiety resilience.

*Results in specific study populations. Individual results may vary.

Action Steps:

  • Use Nurosym Effortlessly: Just clip Nurosym on and let it work—no routines, no habit-building, no extra effort required. Use it twice a day, even while working, commuting, or relaxing.

  • Experience Immediate Relief: Feel the calming effects within minutes, helping you reset stress levels without disrupting your routine.

  • Monitor Your Progress: Track improvements in heart rate variability (HRV) using biotracking devices and follow your anxiety symptoms closely.

Pros:

  • Zero effort required—just wear it and feel the effects.

  • Non-invasive, drug-free and scientifically backed.

  • Provides immediate and noticeable relief from anxiety.

  • Helps repair nervous system damage with long-term use.

Limitations:

  • Requires consistent use for best results.

  • High initial device cost.

Utilice Nurosym únicamente como se describe en las instrucciones de uso o como le indique su profesional sanitario.
