Everyday life is increasingly stressful for us all. Traffic jams,
long lines, or too much to do in too little time — all take
their toll. How do you start to correct your own response to the
inevitable stresses of daily life?
Here is one answer that works for many of my patients and readers, based on nutrients discussed in Dr. Cass’ book, Natural Highs. (read client feedback)
CALM is a twice-a-day natural nutrient "shield" designed to protect both mind and body from the harmful effects of daily stress. CALM delivers a natural blend of ingredients proven to safely enhance mood and sharpen mental acuity, while supporting inner calm and balance. CALM is the perfect alternative to harmful medications and unhealthy substances many people have come to depend on.
At the heart of the CALM formula are seven ingredients that, in the proper dosages and potencies, have been shown to work together to regulate brain chemistry. CALM aids in stabilizing moods and relieving stress —without side effects, impairment, drowsiness, or loss of judgment.
L-Theanine
The active substance in one of the oldest calming mood-stabilizers
(green tea from China), theanine can increase your ability to focus,
concentrate, learn, and remember while providing a whole-body sense
of "alert relaxation" and well-being described as being
akin to a massage or hot bath. It increases alpha-wave activity
in the brain which is the brain state attained through meditation,
thereby shutting off the "worry" impulse.
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid)
Lower levels of GABA in the brain and nervous system are linked
to anxiety, tension, and insomnia. In fact, prescription antidepressants
like Valium and Librium work by increasing your system's response
to GABA. As an important neurotransmitter (chemical messenger),
GABA helps to regulate brain and nerve cell functioning, producing
a calming and focusing effect that is widely acknowledged in the
mental health community. Within the nervous system, it protects
against nervous system overloads-which can cause over-excitement
or impulsive lapses in judgment.
L-Taurine
An amino acid that plays a major role in neurotransmitter regulation,
taurine calms and stabilizes your mind much like GABA does. By retarding
the release of adrenaline, taurine also protects us from the fight-or-flight
response and post-stress anxiety. Because taurine is found in protein-rich
organ meats, vegetarians are especially at risk for taurine deficiency.
L-Glutamine
The amino acid L-Glutamine is used directly by the brain as fuel
as well as to build and balance GABA. It has been shown to enhance
both mental performance and memory. Known as “the addiction
alternative” glutamine can also be used for nearly instantly
relief of cravings for sugar, stimulants, or inebriants [what do
you think?] such as alcohol.
Herbs for Stress-Relief
Hops, Passion Flower and Lemon Balm are naturally grown herbs that
work to dramatically reduce levels of stress-related anxiety -and
to promote the relaxation needed for restful sleep, a prime component
in your body's ability to resist stress itself. In low doses they
are calming. In higher doses (2-3 capsules at bedtime) they actually
help to promote sleep, without a morning-after “hangover.”
