Learn About Amino Acids and the Brain

Christina Veselak

TDI/Health Through Awareness will host a holistic health webinar, Feed Your Brain, First: Using Amino Acid and Nutrient Therapy to Effectively Address Depression, Anxiety, Insomnia and Addiction without Medication, from 7 to 8 p.m. EST, August 23, with Christina Veselak, specializing in nutrition for emotional wellbeing and addiction recovery since 1985.

She states, “Neurotransmitters are the chemicals in our brains that mediate our moods and behaviors. When they are depleted or out of balance, we will suffer from depression, anxiety, fatigue and insomnia. As a way of self-medicating, one may turn to mood-altering substances to cope.”

Nutrients such as amino acids such as tyrosine, GABA, 5HTP and others allow the brain to create and rebuild neurotransmitters. They are readily available from a nearby vitamin store to help to improve mood and well-being. “You will learn about the crucial vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids such as fi sh oil, which help with effectiveness of the amino acids,” says Veselak.

The webinar is free. To register, call 856- 596-5834 or visit tdinj.com.
