Always calm, content and at peace, even amidst life's chaos? We all have friends who seem to be constantly calm and happy, no matter what's going on around them. They have a way of just being positive and peaceful, even when things get tough. Their ability to stay calm really stands out, especially to those of us who often feel anxious, have trouble sleeping, or get depressed sometimes.
But the truth is: it's not that easy for everyone. Some of us battle with anxiety or feel down, even when things seem to be going our way. It's like there's a constant struggle going on inside, and no matter what we try, finding inner peace is really hard and often not possible.
Let's be honest: It's soul-draining and it's tough to go about your day while carrying these feelings.
Please don't misunderstand us. At Insghtful, we know that life has its ups and downs and isn’t about being happy all the time. But, wanting to feel truly peaceful and mentally strong is something pretty much everyone wants, right?
That's why we decided to ask some big questions to leading mental health experts and top therapists:
What differentiates people that are consistently at ease from those struggling with anxiety and depression?
Recent research, supported by over 35 medical journal publications, has made significant progress in understanding this. What's more intriguing is their introduction of an innovative, natural method.
A groundbreaking method that noticeably reduces our anxiety levels in just a few days – and that without medication.
Given the significance of these claims, we have taken a deep dive to unpack what this really means. We're about to share insights into whether these breakthrough findings are as promising as they seem. To give you a hint: it's not often we come across something this transformative. You're definitely going to want to hear about this.
The Primary Reason For Anxiety? A Growing Nutritional Deficit!
A crucial revelation in health science is the direct link between micronutrient deficiency and increased anxiety. Micronutrients — vital elements like vitamins, minerals, and amino acids — are not just part of a healthy diet; they're essential in maintaining our body's balance and crucial for neurochemical reactions that contribute to sound cognitive function.
Experts like Dr. Andrew Weil has been raising alarms about this nutritional gap. He has consistently emphasized the vital role of micronutrients in sustaining both our physical and mental health. Probably you've heard about the importance of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids? Their role is becoming more central in health discussions and scientific research every day.
Indeed, many studies[1] over recent years have clearly shown the profound impact of this nutritional gap on the mental health of thousands. It increases anxiety levels, affects mood, and can lead to more serious mental health concerns.
Here's the problem: Naturally, these micronutrients come from our diets. But, due to today's food production processes and nutrient-poor soils, we're getting less and less of these nutrients in our diets.
That’s exactly the reason why many of us wake up feeling anxious, stressed, or simply off-balance. Our bodies are missing these essential nutrients.
But then, what about those who always seem calm and in a good mental space? A lot of their mental strength might be due to good genetics. But, genetics, along with diet, exercise, and effective nutrient absorption, are key to our overall mental state.
So, the big question is: What can people, struggling with anxiety, do to get to the root of the problem and absorb these micronutrients? The short answer is supplements — but are they healthy and do they actually help?
Most Supplements Are Just Passing Through Our Bodies Without Being Absorbed
It may be surprising for some and already known to others: nutritional supplements – whether expensive or not – often fall short of their promises. When it comes to managing anxiety through nutrition, 99% of these supplements fail to truly address the root cause.
Why is this the case? Dr. Julia Rucklidge, a renowned clinical psychologist and nutrition expert, explained it in depth during our discussion.
As we've come to understand, micronutrients play a vital role in supporting our mental well-being. These micronutrients are scarce in our daily meals so we have to intake it through supplements. However, most supplements, even those boasting a cocktail of essential micronutrients, don't actually deliver these to our cells effectively.
The problem, both simple and scientifically confirmed: The size of the mineral molecules in these supplements are too large to be effectively absorbed by our cells. Even if they somehow make it past the initial absorption barriers, they can't reach deeper cell layers where they are most needed.
Does this mean all the money we've spent on supplements is wasted?
Not necessarily. Many supplements might induce a temporary feeling of well-being or relief. Perhaps there's a brief uptick in energy or mood.
However, real, lasting cellular absorption and benefits don't usually occur because the minerals in these supplements are not effectively absorbed by our cells due to their size.
Dr. Julia Rucklidge sums it up:
"While you might notice a temporary lift in mood or a brief surge in energy, these are just temporary fixes. They don't get to the heart of the issue – true, deep cellular nourishment. It's like putting a band-aid on a wound that needs stitches."

Studies Confirm: A New Technology Transforms Cellular Nutrition
Up until now, we've been rather skeptical about most supplements due to their inefficiency. But, as promised, this is about to change.
A recent breakthrough offers a unique way to provide our cells with the vital micronutrients they need. This approach is truly distinctive, backed by solid scientific research.
After years of rigorous research, a US-based company introduced the power of Direct-to-Cell™ Technology.
What is so special about this technology?
The Direct-to-Cell™ Technology enables them to micronize the vital minerals and shrink them to about 400,000 times smaller than those in the most "high-tech" supplements and 20x smaller than the average human cell. Because of this, the micronutrients can efficiently be absorbed by our cells through their supplements.
In layman's terms: When consumed, these ultra-small minerals mean our cells get exactly what they need. Research suggests that this leads to mental health benefits like naturally balanced moods and lower anxiety levels.
But the big question remains: Is this for real? Or just another overhyped claim in the crowded supplement market?
