ADVICE

Run Targeted Labs And Cover Foundational Nutrients

  • Do prioritize targeted labs and foundational supplements for anxiety with PCOS and perimenopause before buying large supplement stacks.
  • Dr. Stephen Cabral recommends HTMA, a stress/metabolism test, candida/metabolic/vitamins test, an activated multivitamin, balanced zinc, omega‑3 (≈2 g), D3/K2 (≈5,000 IU), and full‑spectrum magnesium.
INSIGHT

Anxiety Is Multifactorial Including Gut And Sleep

  • Anxiety often arises from multiple interacting causes: nutrient deficiencies, elevated stress, poor sleep, and gut inflammation.
  • Cabral ties the gut‑brain axis and sleep quality directly to anxiety thresholds, emphasizing a layered approach beyond single supplements.
ADVICE

Avoid Overprescribing Supplements Without A Tiered Plan

  • Avoid spending on many niche supplements before covering basics and using a tiered plan from a practitioner.
  • Cabral suggests negotiating a tier one/two/three plan from your practitioner to prioritize essentials and avoid 25‑supplement protocols.
