This is a weird article. The headline doesn't really match it. Like it says the thinking brain is the last to know and the author suggests this is a physiological response. But all that's really saying is that anxiety isn't a conscious response. But that just means it's a subconscious response and not a physiological response somehow removed from the brain.
Also, what does "in your body, not in your mind" even mean? Let's face it, the distinction between your mind (or brain) and your body is a useful abstraction, nothing more. Nerve cells extend from your brain throughout your entire body. Where does your brain end and your "body" begin?
Life isn't software that lends itself to neat abstraction layers.
