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.

Why I Packed Magnesium and Forgot My Undies
In this episode, we unpack one of our favourite minerals: magnesium.
Magnesium is a true game-changer for anxiety, stress, and low mood. We’ll cover:
- Why it's often called “nature’s chill pill”.
- The different forms of magnesium and how to pick the right one for your needs.
- How magnesium supports sleep, muscle relaxation, and mental calm.
- Why food sources matter just as much as supplements.
- What happens if you take too much!!
With equal parts science, storytelling, and humour, this episode shows why magnesium deserves a permanent spot in your “mental health suitcase.”
