“I sought Lok-Kwan's help through acupuncture and qigong to help me with consuming ANXIETY surrounding my health conditions: diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol, skin eruptions, and other problems. A few short months later I am much calmer and my numbers are telling a different story today. I cannot begin to understand how I was healed, but am forever grateful to Lok-Kwan and his treatment.”

Anxiety acts as an adaptive "fight or flight" response that, at pathological levels, significantly exacerbates various physical health conditions.

Cardiovascular: Anxiety increases the risk of cardiovascular disease by 52% and can predict cardiac events within seven years. It physically triggers tachycardia, increased blood pressure, and decreased heart rate variability.
Gastrointestinal: A bidirectional link exists via the gut-brain axis, where anxiety causes autonomic dysregulation leading to bloating and nausea, while GI distress amplifies psychological worry.
Hormonal and Immune: Anxiety is associated with a higher risk of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. It also impairs the immune system, making individuals 1.28 times more likely to develop autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.
Respiratory and Pain: It can worsen asthma by causing rapid, shallow breathing and nearly doubles the risk of migraines.
Clinical Categories: Health anxiety is split into Somatic Symptom Disorder (SSD), involving distressing physical symptoms, and Illness Anxiety Disorder (IAD), where fear exists despite minimal somatic symptoms.
