The above reflects the core program content. The 6 week time-frame for this program has been designed so you have time to refine your own tryptophan/5-HTP understanding and dosing without feeling rushed. You’ll have time to increase and monitor symptoms, course correct and even experiment with different doses, different timing, using tryptophan instead of 5-HTP (and vice versa), using both tryptophan and 5-HTP at different times of the day, and layering in melatonin and inositol later (if needed).
During this period your knowledge is solidifying and your confidence is growing. And you have chances to ask your questions each week (for you and/or a family member).
Throughout each module, you will discover gems of information on mechanisms, research and many case studies to further enhance your learning. These sections are not necessary for the successful use of tryptophan/5-HTP but will hopefully add to your experience and understanding.

Customer feedback *
I simply loved being a student in Trudy’s class. My favorite part was Trudy’s true desire to help each of us perform a trial of amino acids to see how we reacted. I learned a great deal about several amino acids that CAN and DO help address anxiety issues.
Trudy is a gem in a world of confusing information – she presents truly valuable, workable trials in plain language that can help lower anxiety.
Consistently taking tryptophan for the last month and a half has been life-changing. My mood has lifted tremendously. It is night and day from where it was. It has been like a miracle pill for me. Positively ecstatic about the mood lift. That has been the greatest benefit, by far. No words can express my gratitude for that. Also, just remembered, after taking tryptophan consistently, I went to the gym and walked on the treadmill for 4 miles!!! That was something I hadn’t done for at least a year. That was huge, for me.
I can’t begin to thank you enough for your time and attention you gave me during these last few weeks. Even though I have a LONG way to go, you have helped me tremendously. Tryptophan is my new best friend and I will make sure I don’t leave home without it. It has lifted my spirits and given me great hope. It might not sound like it, but I have come a long way from where I was last May. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
I feel relief that I’m figuring this out, relief that I’m not the only one, that there’s hope and health, that there are answers, there are people who care. Relief that all the searching, researching and studying I do was/is not “crazy”!!
I really wanted to learn about the amino acids and found the education priceless and your teaching style enjoyable.
This course was amazing! It is the best online course I have ever done! I learnt so much in our time together. The level of information and support we all received was way beyond what I expected. Trudy you are an amazing giving soul and I can’t thank you enough for everything you have done for me and everyone in the group – I look forward to continuing my journey with you in reclaiming my health 🙂
I can honestly say, I’m moving forward. I’m feeling less anxious; my mind is more clear; my confidence is up; my husband notices when I’m on the aminos (and when I’m not) ha! Thanks to you – I feel hopeful.
This class was extremely helpful for me personally and professionally. I was intimidated with amino acids and Trudy’s class improved my understanding and confidence. In addition to her well organized class materials and information, she also shared personal experiences which made me feel like I wasn’t the only person with anxiety issues and there is a solution to managing anxiety.
I’m also seeing how gluten, alcohol and sugar really change my mood and anxiety/depression levels. I am very conscious of the consequences for me personally if I choose to eat/drink any of these. Before, I knew it was not good for me or anyone, now I know what happens with anxiety and brain function, in addition to the digestive and weight issues.
