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.
