Gabriel's Approach
Gabriel treats panic disorder as multifactorial: addresses nutrient deficiencies (magnesium, B vitamins, iron), optimizes neurotransmitters with amino acids and herbs, teaches breathing techniques (CO2 hypersensitivity common), cognitive behavioral therapy, addresses medical causes, reduces stimulants, and uses adaptogens. Comprehensive approach combining nutritional, psychological, and lifestyle interventions.
Root Causes
Why Conventional Fails
SSRIs or SNRIs (first-line), benzodiazepines for acute attacks (short-term), cognitive behavioral therapy (most effective), breathing exercises.
SSRIs effective but have side effects and don't address nutritional factors, benzodiazepines addictive, inadequate breathing retraining (CO2 hypersensitivity central to panic), doesn't optimize magnesium and other nutrients, doesn't use inositol (proven effective), inadequate blood sugar management, doesn't address medical triggers (thyroid, hypoglycemia, cardiac).

Key Lab Markers
Dietary Guidance
Blood sugar stability (frequent small meals, protein with each meal), avoid caffeine (major trigger), avoid alcohol (rebound anxiety), adequate protein for amino acid neurotransmitter precursors, magnesium-rich foods, omega-3 rich fish, avoid sugar (blood sugar swings trigger panic).
Lifestyle Factors
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT - most effective, exposure therapy for agoraphobia), breathing retraining (slow breathing, address hyperventilation), regular exercise (reduces panic), avoid caffeine and stimulants, limit alcohol, adequate sleep, stress management, magnesium supplementation, SSRIs if needed (effective but side effects), benzodiazepines for acute attacks (addictive, not long-term solution).
