July 1, 2019 - Protect Your Brain from the Negative Effects of Stress

Stress literally shrinks our brain.  we need nootropics to help heal and better manage the stressors of life. Opti-Adrenal helps to reduce the ill effects of stress.  Opti-Brain give the major nutrients to have and maintain a healthy brain. This is a very powerful message and would be enough if we stopped here.

 
However, we would like to get into NADH and the critical role it plays in protecting your brain cells and neurotransmitters. It’s is important to prevent with Opti-Adrenal, promote healing with Opti-Brain and It’s another thing to keep them protected and healthy with Essential NADH.


 
Stress on the Brain
Stress affects your thought process and memory. This spills over into mood and elevated inflammatory markers (the common theme among all chronic disease, including mental decline, like Alzheimer’s).
 
Your brain isn’t just an intricately folded network of tissue. There are a lot of moving parts, many of them not visible to the naked eye. Your brain will shut down sections of this neural orchestra when suffering from chronic stress. When this happens, your brain is just surviving, instead repairing and remembering.
 
Long term, this means your brain rewires itself to cope with chronic stress. Some parts of your brain grow stronger to cope while other critical elements grow weaker. Here are the core events that take place:
 

• Memory function changes (you grow more forgetful because your brain needs to survive instead of remembering)
• The amygdala steers the neural ship (stressors feed into poor memory)
• Your brain loses neuroplasticity and becomes rigid
• You can develop neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Prion, etc.)

• Go to counseling and use Emotional Techniques such as NET etc.
• Prioritize sleep and use Essential Melatonin  
• Unplug from technology
• Implement organizational strategies
• Take a much-needed vacations
• Improve dietary habits and minimize sugar and caffeine intake

 

There are Six Interferences in the Six Steps to Wellness.  Identify and correct the stressors/interferences of Structural, Nutritional, Emotional, Electromagnetic, Allergies/Sensitivities and Toxic accumulation as is taught in the Brimhall Protocol.
 
For example:  Correct vertebral subluxations and CSF (cerebral spinal fluid) restrictions, balance the TMJ, use the percussor for fascial balance, use the brain tap system, identify genetic SNP’s as developed by Dr Harris and give the appropriate nutrition for proper epigenetic balance of the brain and body. Do manual allergy testing or use the ASA for identification and balance. Follow detoxification protocols. 
 
Essential NADH for the Brain
Supplementation research shows NADH can be a huge help with the potential problems created by stress and promote brain health and healing. Data suggests it:
 

• Protect brain cells
• Increases brain energy
• Stimulates neurotransmitters
