The Hidden Genetic Triggers of Anxiety (and How to Calm Them)
If you’ve tried everything for anxiety—supplements, therapy, meditation—but still feel like your brain won’t turn off, your genes might hold the answer. In this video, board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner Jezel Rosa breaks down the science of anxiety genes: COMT, MAOA, 5HT2A, HTR1A, GAD1, GABRA2, CACNA1C, and OXTR.
Learn how these genes affect stress chemistry, serotonin sensitivity, and your ability to relax—and what you can do today to naturally support your brain’s calming systems.

I just shared this with my wife. She always asks "why?" when I'm anxious. I reply that it's genetic. Thanks for this video.
