• If You Have Anxiety, You're Probably Low in This Brain Nutrient (vice.com) — UC Davis Health researchers have linked certain anxiety disorders with about 8% lower brain levels of choline, a nutrient your body mostly gets from food. While the study doesn’t prove cause and effect or recommend supplements, it highlights how prolonged stress may strain brain chemistry and underscores the need for better anxiety treatment options nationwide, including for Davis residents.
