The Anxiety Compass Podcast
Welcome to The Anxiety Compass Podcast, where we help you navigate the messy, magical, and maddening world of anxiety. We believe anxiety isn’t a defect but a teacher — a compass pointing you back to your True North.
Hosted by Clinical Nutritionists Sammy Barnett (author of Anxiety: The Best Teacher You Never Asked For) and Natalie Antoine, this show goes beyond quick fixes to explore the real roots of anxiety. Each week we explore a different point of the compass:
🌿 Chemical & Nutritional
💬 Emotional
⚡ Nervous System
🌀 Hormonal
🌍 Environmental
💪 Physical
✨ Spiritual
Through personal stories, humour, and practical tools, we show how anxiety is not a problem to “fix” but an invitation to slow down, listen, and reconnect with yourself. If you’re ready to see anxiety in a new light, learn real-life strategies, and feel less alone in the messy middle, this podcast is for you.

The Digestive Drama Club starring your MICROBES
In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on your digestive drama club where your gut microbes are all part of the cast.
We explore:
- How your microbes create brain chemicals like serotonin and GABA that shape mood and calm.
- Why your gut is more like a first brain than a second brain.
- What your poop can reveal about your microbial “cast members” (and why stool testing isn’t always the first step).
- Simple ways to start supporting gut healing without breaking the bank.
If you’ve ever had a “gut feeling,” this episode will help you understand why and how to listen when certain gut bugs try to take over the show.
