Here is another "Did You Know" about Nitric Oxide (NO)

Did you know: that although NO itself is a neurotransmitter, it also modulates other neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine, serotonin, dopamine, and glutamate?

All of these are major neurotransmitters involved in the neurobiology of severe depression. Without adequate NO production, these important neurotransmitters are not properly regulated, therefore increasing the risk for depression.

Are you struggling with depression or anxiety and suspect a NO problem? While supplies last, I am offering free NO tests. Just send me a PM.

Also, as always, I'm here to answer any questions you may have.

Hi all:

Question: Do you know what Nitric Oxide is?

Nitric Oxide (NO) is essential to our overall physical and mental health.

Nitric Oxide is an essential metabolic and vascular regulator that is naturally made in the body. It has positive effects on our general health, the aging process, and helps to repair skin damage. It even protects us from some of the effects of Covid-19!

Nitric Oxide particularly helps reduce anxiety and depression. A lack of adequate NO production increases the risk of depression and the presence of NO positively affects our mood.

NO function diminishes as we age so it's important that we introduce NO supplements into our diet if our levels are low.

Here are a few causes of diminished NO:

• Overconsumption of refined flours, sugars, and hydrogenated fats
• Excessive use of medications like antibiotics, antidepressants, birth control pills, NSAIDs, and PPIs
• Exposure to pollution, toxins, and heavy metals
• Sedentary lifestyle, Stress, and a lack of exercise


The good news is that Nitric Oxide function can be restored through healthy lifestyle changes, foods that enrich Nitric Oxide, and supplementation.

Your NO levels can be measured with a simple test. I would like to extend to you an opportunity to test your NO levels, for free, while they last. Just DM me. In future posts, I plan to discuss more about NO, so stay tuned.

As always, I'm here to answer your questions. Have something you want to know about NO? Send me a DM.

Here is an article I found on MSN this morning I thought you would find interesting:

What Happens To Your Body When You Eat Almonds Are they really as healthy as some claim? We have the answer.

DID YOU KNOW:

Nutrient therapy should be supervised by a medical professional with experience in this medical approach. An example of improper treatment is giving methionine or SAMe to individuals who are overmethylated, as this can worsen anxiety and depression. Individualized nutrient therapy should never be attempted by inexperienced lay persons.

Don’t let the holidays get you down:

Stress and depression during the holidays are commonly associated with

• Overspending on gifts, trying to keep everyone happy.
• Heightened tensions, especially when we gather in groups.
• Physical exhaustion from holiday-related errands and obligations.

How do we minimize holiday stress in a med-free manner?
It all starts with good choices. Hang on to your healthy habits. It’s OK to indulge a little but overdoing it only adds to feelings of stress and guilt. Include healthy fruits, vegetables, and vitamins in your diet; use them as a pre-party snack.

Exercise
Scheduling a regular time helps.

Get enough rest
Most adults need six to eight hours each night.

Find time to visit with friends and have some fun. Remember social distancing rules
Know that others may get upset when things go wrong, so learn to be understanding. Holiday anxiety can affect us all.

Develop a budget for the holidays
Decide what you can afford and stick to it. Charitable giving may be a more rewarding alternative to buying gifts.

Use your calendar to plan specific days for shopping, baking, and visiting friends
Plan your menus in advance, and shop efficiently.

Get some fresh air
Studies have shown winter’s decreasing daylight can lead to seasonal affective disorder, so any time spent outdoors can be helpful.

It is true that our bodies are very resilient, even in times of anxiety. It is also true that some people may feel anxious that their heart will stop or tire out due to the constant racing and thumping or chest pain. But the truth is that this is not true. No one has ever died from anxiety or panic! I like what one author stated when he expressed that you wouldn't be concerned about dying if you felt your heart racing after running to catch a bus, would you? So why would you worry when you feel these strong sensations during an anxiety or panic attack?

They are just SENSATIONS...nothing more. NOTHING more.

Hello everyone!

Now, some of you may wonder what can be done to alleviate the pull on the adrenals that, if not properly addressed, can lead to anxiety and depression. I wanted to take some time to provide a list, taken from research, of things we can personally do to alleviate adrenal overload:

1. Eliminate gluten
2. Do moderate-intensity aerobic exercise
3. Meditate or pray on a regular basis
4. Practice gratitude
5. Laugh more
6. Support gut health with probotics
7. Optimize vitamin D levels
8. Increase intake of omega-3 fatty acids, get your Omega-3 Index up
9. Take a science-based multiple that supplies vitamin-C magnesium, zinc, and the other essential vitamins and minerals
10. Use adaptogenic herbals to better cope with stress

If you have questions or concerns, or would like help with this, drop me a PM.

DID YOU KNOW:
..that vitamin deficiencies can present like mental health symptoms? A functional med-free approach to telling the difference would be to have a micronutrient test done. This test will tell if there is a deficiency in certain minerals or vitamins which could more accurately be the source of your symptoms.

How is a Panic Attack Born?

First, there is The Initial Circumstances (real or imagined) - WHICH LEADS TO:

Increase in unusual sensations, thoughts, & feelings that feed the initial anxiety - WHICH LEADS TO:

Increased focus on physical sensations with a decrease focus on actual FACTS: WHICH LEADS TO:

more anxiety: WHICH LEADS TO:

Unrealistic interpretation of sensations and a reinforcement of perceived danger: WHICH LEADS TO:

"what if" thoughts about a negative outcome and an increase in the physical response to those thoughts... AND THERE YOU HAVE IT:
..the birth of a full blown panic attack!

Do you know of anyone struggling with these? I can help!

"The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."

- Thomas A. Edison

I HAVE PERSONALLY NEVER TREATED anyone for anything without also looking into their digestive system and their diet. Why? Because our digestive system is the foundation of our health. Keeping it healthy prevents many chronic diseases - including depression and anxiety.

A poor diet, antibiotic use, and lifestyle choices destroy the lining of our intestines, exposing the bloodstream to toxins which can ultimately alter our hormones and throw off brain balance.

How well are you taking care of your digestive system? Is there room for improvement? I'm here to help!

"If you don't make time for health today, you will have to make time for health later!"
Point: Regular exercise is important!

One of the more distressing effects of anxiety, insomnia is the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep.

What do you do if your anxiety is keeping you away?

If you do lie in bed awake, get up, have a cup of chamomile tea and watch TV. Then, when you feel tired, try again. If you fail again, repeat the process again, and again if you have to. If you stay awake until the early hours, do not worry, 2 or 3 hours of sleep is better than none. The more you practice good sleep, the more you will have.😴

How are you doing in getting and staying asleep?

Like the parable of the blind men and the elephant, feeling and describing only their part, neglecting the comprehensive appreciation of the whole animal, Garfinkel states: All too often specialists who treat patients ‘by their book’ have but one aim, to deal with their one aspect of the disease spectrum; no in-depth consideration of the ultimate effects of medications they prescribe combined with other consultant’s interventions on patients’ overall welfare.

With all that is going on in 2020, what has been the biggest event to trigger your anxious or depressive mood so far?

Looking for a natural way to manage anxiety? Here is one suggestion:

Quit Smoking -

Smokers often reach for a cigarette during stressful times. Yet, like drinking alcohol, taking a drag on a cigarette when you’re stressed is a quick fix that may worsen anxiety over time. One trusted resource has shown that the earlier you start smoking in life, the higher your risk of developing an anxiety disorder later. Research also suggests ni****ne and other chemicals in cigarette smoke alter pathways in the brain linked to anxiety.

The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not. - Mark Twain

Sometimes it takes courage to change our bad habits that give us comfort but aren't necessarily healthy for us. In what areas can you make improvements: eating, sleeping, exercising, or relaxing...the right way?

IF YOU HEAL YOUR BIOCHEMISTRY, THEN YOU'LL HEAL YOUR BRAIN

L-Theanine helps your body cope with anxiety and stress. What do you use as a stress reliever?

Here are 4 supplements that can help with depression:

(*Note: Please always consult with a medical professional before starting a new supplement.)

1. St John’s Wort
Easily the most common natural remedy for depression, St. John’s Wort has shown effectiveness in treating mild to moderate depression.

2. 5-HTP
Depression is caused in part by low levels of serotonin in the brain, and 5-HTP can help you to produce more serotonin. Many scientists consider it a more natural form of antidepressant since it works in the same way.

3. SAMe (S-adenosyl-L-methionine)
SAMe, pronounced “Sammy”, is a chemical manufactured in the liver, and involved in over 40 metabolic processes. These function include the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as dopamine in the brain. While research is ongoing about how SAMe works to regulate mood, researchers believe it helps regulate neurotransmitters in the brain.

4. Folate or L-methylfolate
If you have depression, you might want to talk with your doctor about doing a blood test for nutrient deficiencies. Many people with depression have low folate levels.

In Summary
Supplements can either replace your current antidepressant therapy or add to them; however, remember to consult with your doctor before taking any herbal supplements to see if they are appropriate for you, how they might interact with your current medication, and/or how they would impact any other disorders you may have.
