Balancing Neurotransmitters
Anxiety is on the rise and women are affected at much higher rates than men, often with the onset of severe symptoms during PMS, as they approach perimenopause and during menopause. These symptoms can include: worry, overwhelm, fears, phobias, ruminating thoughts, obsessive behaviors and OCD, negative self-talk, imposter syndrome, insomnia and sugar cravings.
By addressing key neurotransmitter deficiencies in your patients and clients, they will see relief of symptoms quickly while other underlying issues such as hormone imbalances, food sensitivities, dysbiosis, infections etc. are addressed. This gives them hope and a willingness to make required dietary changes without feeling deprived and needing willpower.
In these workshops, we’ll discuss how to use targeted individual amino acids to balance neurotransmitters, the trial method, specific protocols, and cases.
Module 1: The Foundations of Balancing Neurotransmitters with Amino Acids
Module 2: Low GABA type of Anxiety
Module 3: Low Serotonin type of Anxiety
Module 4: Low Blood Sugar, Low Endorphins and Low Catecholamines
Module 5: Case Studies and Amino Acids Beyond Anxiety

Meme Grant
Meme Grant had anxiety, had panic attacks, didn’t enjoy speaking in public, had insomnia and was an emotional eater. She found answers with the amazing aminos acids and the pyroluria protocol. Hear how:
- glutamine allowed her to walk past the gluten and dairy free junk foods
- tyrosine helped her flutterby mind, gave her energy, focus and a desire to do things again
- DPA stopped her comfort eating for too much of the “healthy” sweeteners
- Tryptophan stopped her mind talk, got her sleeping through the night for the first time in 11 years and helped reduce the frequency of her panic attacks
- GABA was the best amino acid and how the panic attacks disappeared
- zinc, vitamin B6 and evening primrose oil helped her pyroluria symptoms
