Rebalance Your Brain: The Neuro-Nutrition Approach to a Calmer, Happier You

from The Functional Edge with Dr. Julia Ward · host Julia Ward, MD

On this episode of The Functional Edge, Dr. Julia Ward sits down with neuro-nutrition expert Laurie Hammer to discuss how amino acid therapy and functional nutrition can restore brain health, stabilize mood, and calm an overwhelmed nervous system.Laurie shares her powerful personal journey—from 12 years of anxiety, depression, and an eating disorder—to discovering the root causes of emotional instability through nutrient deficiencies.You’ll learn how neurotransmitter imbalances drive anxiety, overwhelm, perfectionism, ADHD symptoms, and chronic stress responses—and how simple amino acids, protein intake, and targeted nutrition can create rapid change.Laurie also breaks down overlooked causes of anxiety (like hidden infections and mineral depletion) and the daily habits that support “legacy health” for moms and families.----Laurie Hammer is a neuro-nutrition expert who helps women (especially mothers) restore mood, energy, and nervous system health through amino acid therapy and targeted nutrition. After overcoming 12 years of anxiety, depression, and an eating disorder, she now teaches others how to repair the brain by healing nutrient deficiencies at the root.----Laurie HammerInstagram: www.instagram.com/takebackmybrain Facebook: www.facebook.com/laurie.hammer.7----Take Back My Brain with Laurie HammerA compassionate, empowering journey into brain health, trauma recovery, and whole-body healing:⁠⁠Listen on Spotify⁠⁠⁠Listen on Apple Podcasts⁠⁠Listen on iHeart Radio⁠Watch on YouTube----Connect with me:Check out my ⁠website⁠: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://drjuliaward.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Dr. Julia Ward, MD, on ⁠Instagram⁠: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/drjuliaward/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Dr. Julia Ward, MD, on LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/julia-ward-md-55b7672a/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Dr. Julia Ward, MD, on ⁠Facebook⁠: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/balancedbodyfunctionalmed/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Dr. Julia Ward, MD, on ⁠YouTube⁠: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPz2YJi8Lw43i6XwNQiS6wg⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-----PODCASTThank you for listening.
