Critical Brain Food for ADHD, Autism, and Anxiety
Disorders like ADHD, autism, depression and anxiety have an inflammatory component to them. If we can reduce this neuroinflammation we can see some symptoms disappear.
When we get a client out of this "fight or flight" condition, many things happen:
Better focus
Less reactivity
More energy
Better ability to fall asleep
Research suggests that chronic stress or this "fight or flight" condition can lead to increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which can contribute to neuroinflammation and potentially worsen symptoms of depression, anxiety, ADHD, Autism and more.
These 4 actions may save your family's mental health.
1. Get your vitamin D tested today! These conditions may be precipitated by vitamin D deficiency. Most Americans are vitamin D deficient. (Taking 5000 IU per day does not move the dial!). Start taking 10,000IU per day until you get your blood level up to 80-100ng/mL.Order vitamin D3+K2 HERE
2. Start taking more omega 3s, specifically DHA & EPA. At least 2,000mg of DHA+EPA combined per day. Because we have so many chemicals in our food (including Omega 6's) we cannot absorb enough Omega 3's from our food sources, so supplements are essential! Capsules, liquids & smoothies are available.

Omega 3's make up 60% of your brain matter, line all of your nerves and even prevent blood clots. Every one of our billions of cells use a fatty bi-layer to keep out viruses and pathogens. Good fats (Omega 3's) are crucial to this bi-layer. Excellent food sources include anchovies, salmon, chia seeds and eggs; but unless you are eating 3 sardines/day- you need to supplement.
3. Get your gut tested for bacterial content. Find out which foods are creating the most inflammation. Inflammation in the gut transfers to the brain via the vagus nerve. Our gut is our second brain. Viome.com has a home test kit that takes blood and stool samples and gives you a list of superfoods and “avoid” foods, so you can reduce inflammation and begin to heal.
4. Start a CBD regimen. Repeatedly, studies have shown that taking CBD twice a day reduces inflammation, calms the Nervous System and supports our Immune System. The brain and the Immune System house most of our CBD receptors; there are more endocannabinoid receptors in the brain than all of the other brain receptors combined. CBD is a superfood that easily crosses the blood brain barrier. When CBD is on board, you feel calmer, more focused, able to deal with stressors and are less reactive.
When it comes to nourishing your brain and managing stress, there are several foods that can be beneficial. Here are some examples:
1. Fatty Fish: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, fish like salmon (wild caught only), herring, anchovies, and sardines can help reduce stress and improve brain health. (Buy fish oil supplements from Green Alley)
2. Dark Chocolate: Consuming dark chocolate in moderation can boost mood and reduce stress levels due to its antioxidant properties.Look for 75% cacao.
3. Berries: Blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, and other berries are packed with antioxidants and vitamins that support brain health and help combat stress.
4. Nuts and Seeds: Almonds, walnuts, flaxseeds, and chia seeds are excellent sources of nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, and magnesium, which can help reduce stress and improve cognitive function.
5. Leafy Green Vegetables: Spinach, kale, and other leafy greens are rich in nutrients like folate, which can help regulate mood and reduce stress.
6. Avocados: Avocados are a great source of healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals that support brain health and can help reduce stress.
7. Herbal Teas: Chamomile, green tea, and other herbal teas have calming properties that can help relax the mind and reduce stress.Additionally, green tea has significant antioxidants important for reducing inflammation.
Remember, while these foods can support brain health and help manage stress, it's important to maintain a balanced diet and incorporate other healthy lifestyle practices for overall well-being.

Tinctures
Everyday Rapid Reset
Wintermint CBD Hemp Oil
Natural Flavor CBD Hemp Oil
Everyday Rapid Reset
Most potent CBD! This liposomal CBD has been renamed and reformulated so it is better tasting with a less “thick” texture. It is highly bio-available and absorbable, compared with ~5% absorption of typical CBD products. The liposomal delivery system makes the particles small enough to enter the cells easily. This creates high bio-absorption and more immediate onset of effects. This also means you need less!
Wintermint CBD Hemp Oil
A new yummy flavor! Excellent for Digestion issues as well as the toughest pain problem. This CBD has the same excellent genetics and purity as our liposomal, but without the citrus or liposomal delivery. (This is an excellent replacement for the 1,000mg Liposomal Citrus Twist which is on backorder). Each bottle contains approximately 125 or 250 servings. Each 1/2 dropper = 16 mg of CBD. Kosher, vegetable glycerin-based oil used under the tongue or “sublingually.”

Why Tinctures?
Tincture, or CBD oil that you ingest, is the most efficient way to take your CBD. And taking it under the tongue and holding it there for 2 minutes is the BEST way to introduce CBD into the body. The CBD gets absorbed in the capillaries (tiny blood vessels) there and then is shuttled directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the liver. Thus the body doesn’t have to digest it (swallowing), the CBD gets into the bloodstream and the body almost immediately, and the liver and kidney doesn’t have to process the CBD (leaving less to get to the bloodstream). Under the tongue means quicker onset and more concentrated CBD in the bloodstream and therefore your cells. The other advantage is that you can increase or decrease your dose easily. With the liposome Hemp CBD Extract, for example, one squirt is one mg. Most clients can take 5-10mg once or twice a day and can add 2 or 3 squirts before a stressful meeting or presentation. Why take a 20mg capsule when you only need 12mg?

Topical CBD Creams, Balms and Sprays are an excellent first choice for any pain areas or joints; psoriasis, burns or bruises. Any “itis” can be massaged into the area after the shower, before exercise or before bedtime (for optimal healing). Topicals can also be used as a rescue remedy for injuries. Epsom Salts are excellent for detoxing and inflammation after a long workout, or competition or ankle injury.
