About Liana
For those of you that don’t know me I’m a certified nutritionist and have been a health advocate for the last 14 years when I hit rock bottom with my health. I had a tumor the size of a golf ball in my lymphatic system, digestive system issues, chronic fatigue and anxiety. I was able to work with a functional doctor and natorapath and healed everything naturally. Since then I’ve been dedicated to helping others do the same.
How did my supplements come about?
During COVID I wrote my book Anxiety-Free with Food that ended up being a best-seller. During my research I found the best foods and herbs to eat to support the nervous system and reduce anxiety. I then formulated a custom blend with the help of a medical doctor and pharmacist and this is how my Anxiety Free supplement was born!
The ingredients have all been studied and tested, some for thousands of years! Please take some time to read about the science of each ingredient and how it works…
Liana’s Anxiety-Free Supplement: Made with 10 Carefully Selected Premium Organic Ingredients.
1. Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha is a popular supplement known for strengthening the immune system. It has been used for centuries to alleviate fatigue and improves general well-being. It has powerful antianxiety, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is also an adaptogen, which helps the body respond to stress.1
2. Spirulina
Spirulina is considered a superfood because it is high in vitamins including A, C, E, and a range of Bs, as well as minerals, such as calcium, iron, magnesium, selenium, and zinc. Along with all these important nutrients, spirulina helps reduce anxiety because it contains omega-3 fatty acids and chlorophyll. Spirulina can help protect cells and tissues from damage and in- creases healthy microflora in the gut.2 Due to its high protein content, NASA has used spirulina as a dietary supplement for its astronauts during space missions.3 Spirulina is one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. This pervasive life-form owes its superfood status to its high concentrations of protein, vitamins, and minerals. Through photosynthesis, it turns sunlight into oxygen in water.4 People use spirulina for boosting the immune system, improving memory, and other- wise assisting with good brain health, increasing energy and metabolism, and improving digestion and bowel health.5
3. Turmeric
Turmeric and its active component, curcumin, have been well studied for their neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. Curcumin modulates various neurotransmitter levels in the brain and has anxiolytic effects on biochemical and behavioral symptoms associated with anxiety.
4. Flax Seed
Flax seed contains Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), and is a vegan source of omega-3 fats which are the fats the brain thrives on. Research has shown that people who consume more omega-3s from foods or supplements may have a lower risk of devel- oping anxiety, depression, and other problems with cognitive function.7
5. Echinacea
Echinacea is a family of flowering plants in the daisy family. They’re native to North America and grow in prairies and near wooded areas. Echinacea plants contain a variety of active compounds, such as caffeic acid, alkamides, phenolic acids, rosmarinic acid, polyacetylenes and many more and studies have linked echinacea and their compounds to many health benefits, such as reduced inflammation, improved immunity and lower blood sugar levels.8
6. Chlorella
Chlorella is a blue-green algae containing linoleic acid (omega-6 fatty acid), chlorophyll, and a lot of nutrients, including anti-oxidants, that help to repair DNA. One six-week study gave a chlorella supplement to people who smoked cigarettes. Participants who received the supplement experienced a 44 percent increase in blood levels of vitamin C, a 16 percent increase in levels of vitamin E, and a significant decrease in DNA damage.9
8. Ginkgo Biloba
Ginkgo Biloba is a type of ginseng has been repeatedly evaluated for its ability to to reduce anxiety, stress, fatigue and other symptoms associated with Alzheimer's disease, and in many studies has shown to enhance cognitive functioning and stabilize mood.12

Q&A
Can pregnant women consume?
Pregnant and breastfeeding people, should not take ashwagandha, as there have not been enough studies performed to test its safety for these groups.
Can kids consume?
Ashwagandha is considered a safe option for children who have been diagnosed with ADHD, depression, or anxiety-related issues, however it is not FDA approved for the diagnosis or for use in children. The side effects associated with taking Ashwagandha are typically mild, however they are important to consider. Studies have shown that Ashwagandha can help reduce stress and anxiety in children, as well as improve concentration and focus.
Can I take this with my anxiety and depression medication?
Yes, the formulation was created with the help of a medical doctor and pharmacist who says the ingredients in this supplement can safely be taken with anxiety and depression medication. However always consult with your doctor before taking these supplements with your current medications.
Lots of love, Liana
