    Anxiety, Addiction and GABA

    Anxiety, Addiction and GABA

    GABA Neurotransmitter for Anxiety and Addiction GABA is our main inhibitory (stabilizing) neurotransmitter and a regulator of anxiety and addiction.
    It helps us stay calm and avoid sympathetic flight or fight mode.  It governs dozens of functions in the mind and body.
    Along with Serotonin, GABA provides the brakes in our body (the "slow-slow"), much as Dopamine and Acetyl-Choline provide the "go-go". Like yin and yang, we need both to be balanced.
    In our natural state as hunters and gatherers, we only went into alarm mode if a real or potential threat was encountered.
    But our nervous systems in modern however perceive much of our day as threat. Deadlines, traffic, money, and worries of all types.  We can feel endangered just by missing a phone call or freeway exit.

    5 Reasons to Fix Your Child’s Stomach Aches

    5 Reasons to Fix Your Child’s Stomach Aches

    https://www.ondietandhealth.com/fix-your-childs-stomach-aches/https://www.ondietandhealth.com/fix-your-childs-stomach-aches/Why is it important to fix your child’s stomach aches?
    Many parents don’t realize their kids hurt. Children don’t know tummies are not supposed to hurt. They may think it’s normal.
    I did not know my gut was not supposed to hurt when growing up. As an adult I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease but decades of malabsorption took their toll on my bones and growth.
    I always ask kids and teens in Consults if anything hurts. The question can surprise them, especially if they’re seeing me for “allergies”.
    Explaining that pain (or constipation, gas, diarrhea) is not right and we want to fix it helps them understand WHY we’ll be changing their diet.
    For other kids, stomach aches become a negotiating factor when they want out of doing something. It can be a problem figuring out real tummy aches from imaginary ones.
    Either way, it’s important to address.

    Are Your Adrenals Affecting Your Thyroid?

    Are Your Adrenals Affecting Your Thyroid?

    The adrenal and thyroid connection is often missed by doctors checking only the thyroid. Understanding how these glands affect each other helps address adrenal fatigue and hypothyroidism at the same time.
    The goal of natural (Functional Medicine) health care is resolving the cause of the problem, not just the symptom. If you're treating your thyroid lab numbers but not checking adrenal function you may be missing something!

    How to Take Lysine for Herpes

    How to Take Lysine for Herpes

    Lysine for Herpes – A Track Record of Success People have taken Lysine for Herpes and Shingles for decades. Being a sufferer myself, I depend on Lysine as ONE supplement to help manage the Herpes virus. Along with diet changes and other key supplements.
    Lysine and Arginine amino acids (proteins) counteract each other. The virus “feeds on” and is triggered by excess Arginine.
