Why Do I Feel Anxious for No Reason? with Dr. Nicole Cain (Part 1)

35 min•4 augusti 2026

Om avsnittet

You feel anxious. Nothing has happened. Nothing is wrong on paper.

Dr. Aimie learned in the emergency room that anxiety is never one thing. Someone would come in and say the word, and her job was to work out why. It could be a hard week. It could be a heart attack. Same word, two entirely different bodies.

She still runs that checklist on herself. Then she read Dr. Nicole Cain's book Panic Proof and found the same approach mapped into nine types, each one named for the body system driving it.

In this Part 1 conversation, they cover the first three. Cardiac, gut, and thought anxiety. You will learn how to tell fear from anxiety from panic, why the first place you feel it is your best clue, and why the same word describes both high energy activation and shutdown.

This is Part 1 of two.
