YOU WILL LEARN:
- How to recognize which of four key neurotransmitter deficits - in serotonin, in the catecholemines, in GABA, or in endorphins - is generating a particular negative, or false, emotion.
- What optimal neurotransmitter function looks and feels like, and how you and your clients can distinguish true from false moods.
- How to use targeted amino acids to eliminate depression, anxiety, irritability, chronic sadness, apathy, over-stress, obsessiveness, and many other symptoms of neurotransmitter deficiency.
- Hands-on techniques by actually seeing the aminos used in demonstrations and by "prescribing" them yourself, in groups facilitated by experienced nutritionists.
- How amino acids compare with drugs like Prozac and Wellbutrin, and how those on antidepressants can most safely experiment with the aminos and switch over to them.
- How addictive cravings for carbohydrates can be generated by false moods and how amino acid therapy can normalize appetite as well as mood.
- How conditions such as hypothyroidism, hypo- or hyper-cortisolemia, parasite or yeast overgrowth, and sex hormone imbalance can affect the utilization and effectiveness of the aminos.
- When certain amino acids should not be used. For example, glutamine is often contraindicated in someone with bipolar tendencies.
- How to quickly counteract any adverse reactions to aminos.
- How and when to augment protocols with essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and such nutrients as SAM-e and St. John's wort or medications such as SSRIs.
- How psychotherapy and nutrient therapy interact
