Mood Disorders
I have a keen interest on this subject because I myself have suffered from Anxiety for the past 40yrs. If you can develop an understanding of the small subtle changes that each of the Neurotransmitters create in your body & mood, this gives you an opportunity to modify your behaviour or your diet and reduce your suffering. You will be very, very, surprised how helpful a little tweak here and there can be !
In this Mood Disorders section I have provided a written document on each individual Biochemical. What it does, how you can recognise a problem and each of the handy little tweak that corrects any dysfunction. Now I don’t want anyone to think that I am replacing pharmaceutical medicine or replacing a counselling session with a psychologist. Think of it all as common sense information, to be used alongside all the other therapies.A good example would this …. You cannot sleep because you just cant stop thinking about a problem. Many people resort to sedation, to prevent them from stewing over and over again. Did you know that Alkalising your body strengthens your emotionally braking system GABA. This allows you to actually control your emotions and thoughts. BINGO No Valium required for a deep sleep and now you can step out of your cranky pants.
Memory loss and Confusion can be triggered by High Blood Sugar just as severely as a poor Acetylcholine function. The difference is that the blood sugar problem can be corrected much faster. But what if you have both ? It would be very easy to dismiss all other treatment approaches when someone is diagnosed with Dementia or Alzheimer’s. Unstable Blood Sugars causes serious damage to the nerve ending all over your body. And that in turn, reduces their ability to function. Stabilising blood sugars & optimising Nutrition can go a long way to improving memory and focus. It can prevent pharmaceutical medication being increased, (along with all its side effects) In many people it can even slow progression of the Disease.
What if you develop “the shakes” This can be a symptom of Anxiety – BUT is the anxiety being caused by a low blood sugar, low Serotonin, low Gaba or too much Adrenaline ?? You could actually have all 4 of those problems but there isn’t one solution to fit all. You would need to peel back each layer, understand what the actual underlying trigger is and then deal with each of them separately.
So, don’t despair, I have written a SEPERATE article for each of the bio-chemical’s, that can affect our mood. I explain how to identify the problem and most importantly how fix it.
I know that all sounds horribly complicated but its NOT and if you read through each of the articles Ive created you will find super handy hints on how to identify the underlying cause of a mood disorder. Simple stuff like testing the pH of your saliva or observing your Digestive function.
There are foods that can support your mood, and specific exercise programs to enhance each different neurotransmitter.
This is over 40yrs of accumulated observation, research and most importantly testing of which solution works the best.
I KNOW it is going to make a massive difference to many people’s lives. My only wish for you all, is to be peaceful and loved.
