Anxiety, Addiction and GABA

GABA Neurotransmitter for Anxiety and Addiction GABA is our main inhibitory (stabilizing) neurotransmitter and a regulator of anxiety and addiction. It helps us stay calm and avoid sympathetic flight or fight mode. It governs dozens of functions in the mind and body. Along with Serotonin, GABA provides the brakes in our body (the "slow-slow"), much as Dopamine and Acetyl-Choline provide the "go-go". Like yin and yang, we need both to be balanced. In our natural state as hunters and gatherers, we only went into alarm mode if a real or potential threat was encountered. But our nervous systems in modern however perceive much of our day as threat. Deadlines, traffic, money, and worries of all types. We can feel endangered just by missing a phone call or freeway exit. <a title="Read More" href= "https://www.ondietandhealth.com/anxiety-addiction-2/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Read More</a> ...

5 Reasons to Fix Your Child’s Stomach Aches

https://www.ondietandhealth.com/fix-your-childs-stomach-aches/https://www.ondietandhealth.com/fix-your-childs-stomach-aches/Why is it important to fix your child’s stomach aches? Many parents don’t realize their kids hurt. Children don’t know tummies are not supposed to hurt. They may think it’s normal. I did not know my gut was not supposed to hurt when growing up. As an adult I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease but decades of malabsorption took their toll on my bones and growth. I always ask kids and teens in Consults if anything hurts. The question can surprise them, especially if they’re seeing me for “allergies”. Explaining that pain (or constipation, gas, diarrhea) is not right and we want to fix it helps them understand WHY we’ll be changing their diet. For other kids, stomach aches become a negotiating factor when they want out of doing something. It can be a problem figuring out real tummy aches from imaginary ones. Either way, it’s important to address. <a title="More Information" href= "https://www.ondietandhealth.com/fix-your-childs-stomach-aches/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">More Information</a> ...

Are Your Adrenals Affecting Your Thyroid?

The adrenal and thyroid connection is often missed by doctors checking only the thyroid. Understanding how these glands affect each other helps address adrenal fatigue and hypothyroidism at the same time. The goal of natural (Functional Medicine) health care is resolving the cause of the problem, not just the symptom. If you're treating your thyroid lab numbers but not checking adrenal function you may be missing something! <a href= "https://www.ondietandhealth.com/are-your-adrenals-affecting-your-thyroid/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Read More</a> ...

How to Take Lysine for Herpes

Lysine for Herpes – A Track Record of Success People have taken Lysine for Herpes and Shingles for decades. Being a sufferer myself, I depend on Lysine as ONE supplement to help manage the Herpes virus. Along with diet changes and other key supplements. Lysine and Arginine amino acids (proteins) counteract each other. The virus “feeds on” and is triggered by excess Arginine. <a href= "https://www.ondietandhealth.com/how-to-take-lysine-for-herpes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Read More</a> ... Read more

6 Reasons to Avoid Coconut Oil, Milk or Flour

Are there valid reasons to avoid coconut oil, meat, milk or water? Should coconuts be off the menu? My clients occasionally do see problems with coconuts (and I do too). Sometimes it’s the oil and sometimes issues occur with the meat or milk. Coconuts can offer wonderful health benefits, both internally and externally, but like all things, they may not be right for YOU. Check out these questions and try going coconut-free for a few weeks before consuming again. Watch for effects in any area. Self-experimentation is one of the cornerstones of the Paleo/Ancestral lifestyle. Here are 6 reasons to try a coconut-free experiment. <a title="READ MORE" href= "https://www.ondietandhealth.com/6-reasons-avoid-coconut-oil-milk-flour/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">READ MORE</a> ...
