Detox Programs for the Brain: Autism, ADD, Depression, Anxiety and Brain Fog.

Millions of people are diagnosed with conditions like autism, ADD, bipolar disorder, anxiety and depression every year. Many more suffer with irritation and mood swings they don’t understand, without ever being “diagnosed”. People are told they can’t do anything about it. They’re told these conditions are genetic and are sold a pill to help relieve the symptoms.

We know that relieving symptoms never really addresses the problem, does it?

When it comes to your health and the people advising you about it, ask A LOT of questions.  Look beneath the surface  and question what you hear.

People used to insist the Earth was flat, remember. If anyone tells you there are no solutions, be an incurable optimist and keep on looking.

In the second part of our series of FREE detox teleseminars, Dr. Ritamarie and I put a few facts on the table about the gut-brain connection and its relationship to autism, ADD, and other well-known but poorly understood conditions.  A few missing pieces of your health puzzle will start falling into place once you hear this information.

You can sign up to get the recordings of the first two calls, and join us in person for the next 2.

We have a message, a powerful one, that we’re trying to get out to the world.  The truth is, if some people hadn’t forced the conventional ideas of the day, we’d *still* think the Earth  was flat. I’m sure the evolution of human health is bound for better things, but we have to start by informing  ourselves about the facts and being willing to take the telescope in our own hands, too, once in a while.

Here are a few of the topics discussed on the call:

–What is the gut-brain connection and how are ADD, autism and bipolar disorder affected by what you eat.

–How and why what you eat affects the way you think, feel and behave.

–How to recognize when your mood swings and irritability are being triggered by food.

–Why conditions like depression, bipolar disorder, insomnia, ADD, brain-fog, anxiety, irritability and other conditions may all be connected to nutritional deficiencies, toxins and processed foods, NOT exclusively genetic conditions as some would have you believe!

–Can’t focus? You might simply be missing one thing in your diet. Find out what that is!

–Finally understand how stress inhibits your “wizard” brain and puts your “lizard” brain in control

–How long does it take to overcome these conditions and eliminate these toxins from the body?

–The exact mechanism that causes you to feel sluggish or have trouble concentrating and how to handle it.

If you’ve got other questions, please post them in the comments box below. We’ll be sure to address them in future blog posts over the coming weeks.

Remember, if some people hadn’t forced the the issue and gone against the common views of the day, we’d still think the Earth was flat.  I’m sure the evolution of human health is bound for better things, but it all starts by informing yourself of the facts and being willing to take up a telescope in your own hands once in a while to see what’s going on yourself.

In health and with love,

Tera and Dr. Ritamarie

Unlocking the Gut Brain Connection; Heal your Brain by Healing your Gut

by

Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo

Have you noticed that there’s an epidemic of brain related problems in our world today? I’m sure you know at least one, perhaps several people who are suffering from  problems such as depression, anxiety, brain fog, irritability, difficulty focusing, or hyperactivity.   I see people with these problems in my office all the time.

What you may not realize is that problems in your head are connected to problems in your gut.  There’s a condition called leaky gut that results from low nutrient density foods, toxins in your air, water and food and eating in a stressful envronment. It’s likely that at least one of these stressors is a part of your world on a regular basis.

My newsletter last week went into details about leaky gut.   You can get access to last weeks newsletter at http://www.drritamarie.com/newsletter.   The Recording of the Leaky Gut and Candida Teleseminar that Tera Warner and I did last week was recorded:  http://www.drritamarie.com/url/DetoxTelecourse

So what does leaky gut have to do with brain chemistry imbalances?  A lot!  Unlocking the gut-brain connection has been shown improve brain fog, ADHD, autism, depression and many more problems that plague so many today. Some foods cause antibodies to form that attack brain cells.  The passage of toxins into the blood stream through a leaky gut creates a whole host of problems.  Blood sugar and neurotransmitter  imbalances due to malabsorption of nutrients can lead to brain fog, depression and lack of focus.

Want to learn more about the gut brain connection and how to  control your brain through what you eat, how you eat and the health of your digestion?

On November 10, I’ll be explaining lots more in a FREE teleseminar.
