Why Amino Acid Trialing Works Better Than Lab Testing for Brain Health

from Take Back My Brain · host Laurie Hammer

In this episode of Take Back My Brain, Laurie Hammer interviews Dr. Chris Molda about amino acid therapy and the importance of individualized amino acid trialing for improving brain health.They explain why traditional blood, urine, and stool testing often fails to identify functional neurotransmitter deficiencies and how guided amino acid trialing provides immediate feedback by observing how the body responds in real time. The conversation explores the four primary neurotransmitter systems—serotonin, GABA, catecholamines, and endorphins—and the unique symptoms associated with each.Dr. Molda also shares his personal experience with self-supplementing without trialing and explains why individualized dosing matters. Together they discuss how amino acids can rapidly reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic attacks, and cravings while serving as temporary tools alongside deeper work to improve gut health, reduce inflammation, and restore overall wellness.- - - - - Mind Thrive Course: Learn more about Amino Acid Therapy ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Special Offer: Use code MINDTHRIVE at checkout to get $1,000 off the course!- - - - - Dr. Chris Molda is a chiropractor and functional health practitioner who specializes in functional nutrition, brain health, neurotransmitter support, and amino acid therapy.
