Anxiety/Depression/Eating Disorder and Amino Acid Therapy: Summary
In Anxiety/Depression/Eating Disorder and Amino Acid Therapy, Laurie Hammer, a functional nutritional therapist and neuro nutrient specialist focuses on addressing brain toxicity, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and autoimmune conditions through holistic methods. She shares her personal journey of overcoming cancer, celiac disease, bulimia, and depression, revealing how these experiences drive her passion to help others, particularly mothers dealing with the overwhelming demands of life.
Laurie emphasizes the significant role of amino acid therapy in addressing mental health issues and how it changed her life. She explains that trauma and other health issues can deplete amino acids and replenishing these can offer significant relief. Laurie details how she sends clients amino acid kits and uses symptom-based surveys to determine the most effective combinations. This initial relief allows clients to make further health improvements, like addressing root causes of inflammation and changing their diet.
Laurie also addresses the historical context of amino acid use and shares a success story of a client who transitioned off multiple medications through her guidance. For those interested in learning more, she recommends Julia Ross’s book “The Mood Cure” and invites listeners to connect on Instagram or through her website. Laurie ends the podcast emphasizing the importance of sleep for overall health.
