Healthy mood and emotional health starts in the body. Take a nutritional approach and target the biological root causes of anxious feelings and down moods.

Nutritional ScientistHealthy mood and emotional health starts in the body. Take a nutritional approach and target the biological root causes of anxious feelings.
Address root causes,
not just the symptoms.
There are internal biological processes in the body and mind that cause anxious and down feelings.
Stress:
Stress from career, caring for children or aging parents, relationships, health challenges, financial worries and more can easily overwhelm
In the body:
Raw external stress generally increases as we age at the same time as our ability to cope with stress declines.
In the mind:
Increase in stress and cortisol weighs on the mind.Stress from caring for children or aging parents while balancing a job and dealing with financial worries can easily overwhelm.
Aging
As we age, receptors for managing cortisol become less responsive, lessening our ability to de-stress. We also absorb key stress reducing nutrients, like magnesium, less efficiently.
In the body:
As we age, cortisol receptors responsible for regulating the stress response in the body decline in efficiency
In the mind:
Increase in stress and cortisol weighs on the mind.As a result, the body has a harder time responding to stress overall, causing more persistent anxious feelings.
Sleep
Getting sufficient sleep is critical for the brain to process emotions and de-stress. Poor sleep interrupts the rejuvenating process, increasing anxious feelings and foggy thinking.
In the body:
Sleep is the essential process for maintaining the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala as well as a healthy metabolism and hormones.
In the mind:
Emotional regulation and stress management is impaired.
Hormones
Around age 40 women and men experience hormonal changes that disrupt key mood neurotransmitters. For women, it's caused by declines in estrogen and progesterone. For men it's primarily declining testosterone levels.
In the body:
Natural declines in estrogen and progesterone disrupt the production of serotonin and dopamine. For men, declines in testosterone has the same effect.
In the mind:
Without the steady supply of natural serotonin and dopamine it is hard to for your mind to feel the sense of happiness and well-being.
Nutrition
Processed foods, and the depleted soil today, simply do not provide enough of certain key vitamins and other nutrients needed for regulating calming neurotransmitters like Serotonin, and learning & processing neurotransmitter like Acetylcholine.
In the body:
The foods that we eat are typically grown in depleted soil and further processed prior to consumption.
In the mind:
These macronutrients, especially magnesium and vitamin b6, are the essential cofactors involved in the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine.
Metabolism:
Missing meals, and consuming high sugar and carbohydrate foods or caffine, can cause large fluctuations in blood sugar affecting your mood and ability to handle stress.
In the body:
Long period between meals followed by high sugar and carbohydrate based diets cause severe fluctuations in blood sugar throughout the day.
In the mind:
Poor glucose regulation leads to fatigue, irritability and depressed symptoms.
The problem is
an out-of-balance nervous system that keeps us stressed out, tense and anxious.
