Are you dealing with anxiety? Or perhaps you know a family member who is struggling with it? Anxiety is certainly on the rise in our society and today Dr. Jockers has sought the guidance of a firm show favorite, Trudy Scott, to shed some light on the role that amino acids can play in alleviating symptoms of anxiety as well as addiction.
Trudy Scott is author of ‘The Anti-Anxiety Food Solution’ and a verified ‘food mood’ expert. If you have the chance, do yourself a favor and go back and listen to episode #298 where Trudy first introduces the Functional Nutrition community to using amino acids to help with anxiety.
The good news is that there ARE nutritional solutions to dealing with anxiety and addiction. In today’s episode we learn all about tryptophan (an essential amino acid), 5-HTP, as well as GABA to support our brain health, and the role that leaky gut plays in increasing our anxiety and fueling our addictions. Leaky gut equals leaky brain!
Trudy has been able to eliminate her anxiety and panic attacks using a nutritional-based approach and she’s here to show us all how to as well in this informative episode that is one you’re definitely going to want to share with your friends and family! Please join us.
“When we hear ‘leaky gut’, we also think that there’s very likely leaky blood-brain barrier. So that means toxins can enter the brain and cause damage.”
