We explore anxiety, depression, neurotransmitter deficiencies, protein intake, gut health, and why so many people struggle despite doing everything "right." Laurie shares how targeted amino acid therapy can provide fast insights and help address the root causes of mood imbalances. - - - - - Laurie Hammer is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Neuro-Nutritionist, and host of the Take Back My Brain podcast.
