Dr. Elena Villanueva is chatting with Dr. Jockers today about how to identify, understand and address the root causes of brain disorders using a data-driven approach.
‘Dr. Elena is the producer and co-host of the five-part series Mental Health Masterclass, the Leaky Brain Summit, and the Inflammation Masterclass. She’s a recognized crusader for ending the global chronic illness and mental health crisis — and she’s a friend of Dr. Jockers to boot (check out episode 28 of The Functional Nutrition Podcast)!
What Dr. Elena and Dr. Jockers share in common is a holistic approach to nutrition, as well as applying the integration of mind, body, and spirit to recover from brain-related disorders and fight chronic disease.
From amino acid therapy to better understanding brain chemistry imbalances, and from the importance of magnesium in your diet to mycotoxins and how they impact our mental health, it’s all here in an episode that will hit close to home for anyone struggling with any sort of mental disorder.
On that note, if you know of anyone struggling with their mental health, please share this episode. The information in this episode can literally change somebody’s life.
“There is scientific evidence that our unprocessed trauma alters our neurochemistry in such a way that it impacts our emotions, thoughts, words and our beliefs”
–Dr. Elena Villanueva
