Do world-class athletes actually have performance anxiety and panic attacks<\/strong>? And could there be a food mood<\/strong> and nutrient connection<\/strong>?\u00a0 Yes, food does have a big impact on our mood. And yes, anxiety can affect anyone and many athletes are affected! The most recent example is baseball player Aubrey Huff, from the San Francisco Giants. Henry Schulman wrote about Aubrey\u2019s panic attack in SFGate in an article<\/a>\u00a0titled Aubrey Huff opens up about his anxiety attacks<\/em> :<\/p>\n

Aubrey Huff says his first panic attack lasted for eight hours<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Aubrey Huff was standing in his New York hotel room at 5 o’clock in the morning in the early stages of what would be an eight-hour panic attack. The Giant were to play a doubleheader against the Mets that afternoon and evening. Baseball was the last thing on Huff’s mind.<\/p>\n

“I couldn’t breathe<\/strong>,” Huff recalled. “I felt I was taking short breaths. Right then and there I thought I was having a heart attack<\/strong>. I told myself, ‘I’ll be damned if I’m going to be sitting in this hotel room and die of a heart attack. I’ve got to get out of here.'”<\/p>\n

I used to have social anxiety and panic attacks and it was horrible! And very scary! I really feel for Aubrey and would love to be able to help!<\/p>\n

If I was working with Aubrey this is what I\u2019d have him do (this is my approach for anyone who is experiencing anxiety and anxiety attacks\/panic attacks):<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I\u2019d have him keep a 3 day food diary<\/strong> and we\u2019d look at his intake of real whole food<\/strong> (including grass-fed meat) compared to junk food and fast food<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. We\u2019d also look at his gluten intake<\/strong> and assess for gluten intolerance and\/or celiac disease and have him start right away on a 2 week gluten elimination trial<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>Whether or not gluten is a contributing factor to the anxiety, as Melissa Mclean Jory says in the Gluten-Free Edge<\/a>, athletes perform better when gluten is not a part of their diets<\/li>\n
  3. We\u2019d have him start on the first of the 4 antianxiety diets<\/strong>: real whole food, good quality protein, good fats, plenty of organic veggies and fruit, and with no gluten. And make sure he eating a good breakfast that does include protein<\/strong> \u2013 keeping blood sugar stable<\/a>\u00a0is key for anxiety<\/li>\n
  4. We must also always consider neurotransmitter imbalances. In the same SF gate interview Aubrey said this \u201cI couldn’t control one thought in my head. There were so many thoughts going through”. Low serotonin can cause anxiety, panic attacks and ruminating thoughts<\/strong>, so assessing for low serotonin would be key. If low serotonin is a factor then using the amino acid supplements tryptophan or 5-HTP<\/strong> would be worth considering. Research supports the use of 5-HTP for panic<\/a>.\u00a0GABA is a calming amino acid<\/strong> and it\u2019s likely that Aubrey would benefit from this too, especially if he has stiff and tense muscles<\/li>\n
  5. I would also consider the possibility of pyroluria<\/strong>. In an interview on his blog<\/a>,\u00a0Aubrey stated: \u201cI was very shy in high school<\/strong>, if you can believe it. I broke out of my shell at the University of Miami when I got around guys like Burrell. I learned how to believe in myself \u2013 and I learned how to project confidence<\/strong> even when I didn\u2019t feel very confident.\u201d As reported by Carey Vanderborg<\/a>,\u00a0\u201cthe Social Anxiety Institute says that social anxiety disorder, also known as performance anxiety, is a persistent fear of performance situations–such as an athletic event–in which you’re exposed to unfamiliar people or to possible judgment by others.\u201d Zinc, vitamin B6 and evening primrose oil can completely eliminate social anxiety in someone with pyroluria. Here is the pyroluria questionnaire<\/a>\u00a0that I\u2019d have Aubrey use for assessing if this is part of the issue. Raising serotonin levels also helps with boosting confidence so it doesn\u2019t have to be learned or forced.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Each person has their own unique biochemistry and there may be other factors involved but this would be a great start. This is what I wish for Aubrey Huff with this food-mood approach<\/strong>: totally free of anxiety<\/strong>, no more panic attacks<\/strong>, zero performance anxiety<\/strong>, feeling super-confident,<\/strong> have no ruminating thoughts<\/strong>, plus playing his best baseball ever<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

    I would LOVE to send a copy of my book to Aubrey so if you know how to get fan-mail to him please let me know. I tried the Giants office and didn’t have any luck.<\/p>\n

  6. We\u2019d look at caffeine and sugar intake<\/strong> and reduce this and eventually eliminate it. Caffeine can induce anxiety<\/a>\u00a0and for many people it\u2019s a tough one to eliminate so we\u2019d have to address the underlying fatigue and reason for \u201cself-medication\u201d. For Aubrey, it could possibly be burned out adrenals. High sugar consumption also affects the adrenals and results in nutrient depletion of minerals like zinc and magnesium, both of which help with anxiety<\/li>\n
