As stress and anxiety continue to plague millions of Americans, our collective interest in solutions for the root cause, rather than symptoms, increases in importance. Expensive pills, powders, and capsules promise change, however, fail to become part of our everyday lives, and thus fail to reduce stress and anxiety levels.
