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.
