*Lemon balm* is also good for mood support, it helps to slow racing thoughts while clearing brain fog. *Uridine monophosphate* sublingually also helps with emotional regulation, motivation, and focus. Another very beneficial supplement is *phosphatidylserine* for the same benefits as well as calmness and improving neuronal health. For panic attacks or depression, 5mg up to 40mg of *lithium orotate* helps, it's mild but noticeably improves mood and stimulates neurogenesis.
DHEA is the best support for the adrenal gland related to stress. Over time when the adrenal gland is just overworked, DHEA is your answer. I had the same exact heart racing episodes. After realizing just how it was all related to the years of stress of living in suburban Cook Co Illinois, I looked into what would help with these adrenal issues. DHEA was the #1 answer.
@@slimelove3493 klaire labs has a good one. Females should not take more than 10 mg’s. Men , are different you can look up suggested dosage for Dhea here on RUclips.
Sorry to hear that you went through that Holly…Good to hear about things that help. As you say, we’ve all been through it to varying degrees. Concentrating on breathing, not identifying with negative self chatter, and just remembering to live life in the present moment, helps me. No point in worrying about the future. If and when challenges arise, we'll do our best to deal with them then, which will be the present moment again.:) Love the shirt, you wear it well.😊
Dear, you have cortisol increasing, you actually need a cortisol suppressor and the best is Rhodiola rosea. I am glad this helped you, but i am almost 100% sure that Rhodiola would do it even better.
Had this uncanny feeling that I had seen you before for the last few weeks and just now recalled your video of when you moved into a house in the countryside and having deal with bitter cold years ago. So cold that your vehicle tire had frozen. I’m sorry for not recalling the name of the other channel. So glad that you are experiencing some relief as I have had the same debilitating issues and agree that most GP’s do not know dietary effects. I believe the medical community has co-opted by the pharmaceutical industry promising much but delivering little when it comes to SSRI treatments before exploring serious dietary modifications first. I’m almost 9 months into low carb high fat diet (
I'm hearing you girl and sometimes you can have anxiety about something you didn't even bring upon yourself.. Anxiety is the worst! The Human condition is so complex...
This is me. On and off the past year and a half. It’s absolutely horrific. My anxiety was so bad about a year ago it landed me in the hospital. I’m going to try this. I drink 1 bag of lemon balm w my lemon ginger every night. I notice if I drink 2-3 bags I feel amazing after a few days. But I’m down to try this. I really like this brand I already use their digestive enzymes and they’re fantastic
What's a good dose of LPNing for somebody who's got real real dysfunctional ADHD but has bad anxiety from a previous drug history and alcohol history I got 5 years sober off alcohol, six years clean off drugs🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤❤🎉🎉
I cant believe how Ashwagandha works. I just looked up for something to help with cortisol levels but I didnt realize how much more it does for you. It helps with appetite and anxiety. Research for yourself all the benefits. I dont take any other meds for depression or anything. I came across Goli gummies on sale so I just thought I'd try. I'm sure now I'll always take it.
I needed a break from people Too many people were looking over my shoulder & correcting me & dictating I thought people were so patronizing and condescending I felt blamed for everything that went wrong. I was bloated with brain fog and fatigue 😩 Even more lectures and demands came through. 🙃 Walking my dog seemed to help. Sadly my dog passed and the I had no one yo confide in. I still have a somewhat demanding aloof 🐈. She's not bad. She's very demanding and finicky!😊 I started walking 5 miles a day. I would journal and started talking to a big stuffed animal. After I told him all my problems I would ho out for coffee. I would prey a little and went to church. I still feel some brain fog and fatigue. I just started and plant Nutrient fiber with enzymes. I just started yo cut back on cows milk as I have food intolerences. Furthermore I started 😍 only eating every 12 hours . Also I sometimes watch asmr videos for relaxation 😌 I am trying to avoid too many doughnut Cookies and cows milk. All things in moderation. Plus the good Lord. He will see you through 😇
Great video! I have had situational depressions a few times and was on Zoloft twice. Recently I weaned myself off Zoloft by tapering down and adding 5-HTP and valerian root. Other things people can find helpful- learn to meditate. Be sure to get out and walk in nature daily. Stretch & do deep breathing.
Thank you so much for this video! I’m dealing with crazy panic attacks everytime I’m in public or any event and I get the heart pounding to where I feel like I’m gonna die. Been researching supplements and found this. Hopefully it’ll work. Appreciate it! -Edit- I’ve been on it for a few weeks now…. my heart definitely stopped racing, but the panic attacks are still there. I tried asking this girl I liked if she wanted to talk and ended up freezing up. It was probably the most embarrassing thing she ever witnessed anyone do. Overall it helps a lot, but panic attacks can still come. Thank you for showing me 🙏
Let me tell you could rid your self from that anxiety by doing graduated exposure techniques so you don’t have to do it all at ones just practice a little bit everyday until you retrain your to behave non anxiously but require a few practice baby steps everyday
He pasado por lo mismo. He tomado muchos ansiolíticos sólo he sentido alivio pero no cura. Al final lo que me ha curado definitivamente es la oración a la Santísima Trinidad. La comunión con Dios es muy importante. Gracias.
very much must be the Latin Mass, regular confession et al. The novus orde missae is a disaster where the average age is 60/70 yrs old. You never see children which is by design. "They go after the children first" These churches are closing down. The age who attend the Latin Mass is 30 yrs and under. Young people are attending more and more and the mass is full with children/babies , young parents teenagers and far more respect praising God
Thanks for sharing this 😢I’ve been abused mentally since a child and now as an adult I’m living in abuse again and I get abused at my job and I can’t just leave I can’t afford it on my wages and I get abused at my job I cry every day I also get abused by customers it’s so hard to just live and it’s taken toll on my physical health as well and I appreciate this advice and pray it helps me thank you so much
@@liz0707 an abused person does not have the emotional strength to combat abuse until they get professional help. When they get the trauma PTSD released from their mind, then the strength comes. Of course if they can’t get professional help, they may need to call out to someone to intervene like a close friend, relative or police.
Mood support is the only supplement I've taken that's like whoa, there we go! It is ultra effective. It's also great for restoring and replenishing certain neurotransmitters.
Awesome! I am SO HAPPY to hear that someone else has had some awesome results from it. I feel exactly the same way about it. I am amazed at how much of a difference it can make.
@@LifeDIY heck yea! Same. I was shocked to see your vid and when I read the title I questioned myself what my best pick would be and it definitely goes to mood support. Plus NOW has so many individual ingredients that one can form a complex for many mood remedies. From focus-sleep, stress & depression. They're a quality company.
@@Morrie-queens yea that's understandable, but those aren't the MVPs in this complex. Just get those in the forms you prefer and stack with this because letting that minor issue cause you to miss out on this major game changer is a mistake for certain I would say.
Thank you so much for sharing this video and being careful to tell that vitamins can interact with prescriptions and can cause very bad problems, like liver failure. I recommend people read all the interactions on the paperwork that comes with meds and talk with the pharmacist, they seem to be more knowledgeable than the doctors. For years, since I was a young child, I struggled with anxiety and depression, and I was always tired. I tried so many vitamins and antidepressants, but nothing worked. It was not until I became very sick and lost 40 pounds without trying and landed in ICU. 6 months later I had a smart nurse look at my symptoms and learned that I had a disease that was causing it. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, iron deficiency or any other issues that you can't figure out, I highly recommend that you get tested for Celiac disease and HPylori. Not everyone has gastro symptoms, and because it is the most common autoimmune disease in the US and UK, it's a good thing to rule out; stress is thought to trigger it. CD is much more common than most people, including doctors, realize.
More than twenty yrs ago I realized that I was familially depressed, meaning my bi-polar mother raising me made me into a very sad person. I was always negative and grossly unhappy about most things in life. The internet was still fairly new and underdeveloped, but I was able to find enough information about St Johns’s Wort to warrant trying it. I was taking 900 mg (300 x 3) over the course of a day. After about a month, It changed my life. It works by increasing your serotonin production. I had to take it regularly for 6-8 yrs in order to improve my brain to the point where I didn’t need it anymore. I would back off and try to go without, then the negativity would return, so I’d increase my dose again. But after many yrs of taking it religiously, it made a massive difference for my lifetime of moderate depression. I suspect that it was some of the other ingredients such as the B vitamins that gave you the immediate relief plus a placebo effect with the SJW. It generally take 6-8 weeks at 900 mg to impact serotonin levels. Not sure where that falls for someone whose primary symptom is anxiety, but good to know that this combination is available. I’d be curious to see any metadata research on the combination of active ingredients. Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much for sharing this. My mom is also bipolar. I really believe that our neurotransmitters play a huge part in how we perceive life and if we end up feeling the way you did previously, or if a person is prone to depression or not. I have seen this in others. And, I cannot comprehend that doctors don't test neurotransmitters. They just give you the same old pharmaceutics, no matter what is going on. They don't investigate anything. If you're interested in these topics, I highly recommend a book called Nutrient Power, by William Walsh. He's a scientist/doctor who has dedicated his life to researching and studying neurotransmitters, in an attempt to understand specific causes of depression, adhd, anxiety, etc. He's even studied the biochemistry of numerous high profile killers. He believes there are biotypes of depression that are caused by specific imbalances and can be treated with specific supplements. He's done a lot of research. Dr. Walsh is in his 80s and he's still working away and training doctors in his methods: www.walshinstitute.org/. I went to one of his conferences years ago. I wanted to thank him for his work. It really helped one of my close family members, to get through a really serious period of depression.
@@LifeDIY I have anxiety when it comes to vomiting or feeling nauseous. I also do not drive alone, I am a tad nervous to drive. I wonder if something is off with my neurotransmitters? I also perceive the world differently in that I do not understand any technology.
I pray and give it all up to Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior and ask Him to give me peace ❤ love this video. You are so kind and empathetic. I just lost both my mom and my husband and I’m still very young. Anxiety can be overwhelming 😢
Thanks for sharing! People keep recommending Ashwagandha. I will look into it. I too like Taurine and Theanine, but haven't tried Rhodiola in many years.
@@yungg5703 no, we want adequate cortisol. An abnormally low cortisol level is just a bad as high cortisol... it messes with other hormones, gives you fatigue, brainfog, depression and anxiety, makes you stressed out very easily, weakens your immune system. For otherwise healthy people under stress, high cortisol is usually the problem, but if your body is exhausted, it turns into low cortisol.
Thanks for sharing, I find that some neuroplasticity techniques help guide me out of the stress response but it's the consistency that forms those new pathways in the brain. Things like meditation, breath work, visualizations, and prayer. Helps me to respond better when those anxious thoughts arise.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I did try all sorts of things at that time and especially breathwork and prayer. It did help to some extent but that time period was a bit torturous. It can take time to get through certain traumatic-type experiences. I have been through a lot of situations in my life so it did take me by surprise with how much this one impacted me. I am totally fine now and I think I'll be better prepared for the next time. Maybe I need to get back into these other practices more. :)
@@LifeDIY I can understand that, it absolutely takes time to process trauma. Very tough when we're in the midst of it especially, really feels like a weight. I'm glad you are doing better, God bless.
Supplements are great but definitely check out nutritional deficiencies . I stay on top of my iron deficiency, B12 and Vit D deficiency . I added magnesium, Bcomplex, zinc and use bacopa, Ashwagandha occasionally. I have SIBO so all these nutrients were very low.
Interesting RUclips upload. I can relate with being crook for about 3 .5 months roughly and changing my whole life - food, taking supplements and going for 3 or 4 long walks between 33 to 44 kms a day plus of course prayer.. And obviously being a serious Christian despite doing all those things and "getting better" I attribute my getting better to God solely.. And that sounds silly of course but.. I was really crook and was praying alot and doing all those things too but I just thought I'd just say I can relate. (So you know also I did go to the doctor and many and a few hospitals and no one could help me and strangely enough I received no advice etc and I was really angry) But.. thank God I'm better now. I don't trust doctors.. (I did also give up 21 years of marijuana smoking everyday, gave up 21 years of smoking cigarettes everyday and gave up 21 years of drinking alcohol almost everyday also)
Good for u I quit smoking weed and am dealing with mood problems and hormonal since I was using it to cope with stress its been difficult so Ive been vaping. Your comment has been inspiring to me I know I can do it with Gods help. I hope I feel more normal soon 💕
@@setme4ree well it took me at least 2 months after all those years of smoking cigarettes and marijuana and drinking alcohol every day to feel better, I had to walk ALOT pretty much every day, eat really healthy, take vitamins and I prayed around the clock too as it was taking so long to get better so I was starting to get angry / grumpy about it after I changed my whole life but one day the funny unwell feelings I had just stopped and I didn't notice it and about a week later it all went away when I noticed it and after about 2.5 weeks of being fine I felt a bit "unwell again" but once again I've improved but not 100% like I did a few weeks back and am a bit angry / disappointed and grumpy again as I'm not 100% I am very thankful though as I've never got back to as bad as it was in the beginning about 3 months ago as it was really bad 27/7 pretty much so I'm thankful to God it's not that bad because it was REALLY unbearable then. I do hope it I would just improve that tiny miniscule bit more just so I feel normal again but I'm alot better. I don't know if it's in God's plan to heal me and I keep saying to God "please take this away from me, I'm not strong enough, I can't handle it" but I'm not sure if he will as I've been not really that great health wise on and off with this and that for a while now but what I have now has been going on around 3 to 3.5 months roughly and it's really tiring and I think I'm not as close to God anymore a little as it's just been eating away at me and I can't find any help from the doctors / hospital / God etc, I do hope you go well though and I pray now that you may be healed by God, I hope anyway, thanks for getting in touch and I just pray you go well and if God doesn't heal you I pray he gives you the strength at least to bear it and blesses you also at the very least. Take care and God bless, amen!
Tried off meds for two years. Ended up in the ER. Had one year of therapy and back on two meds. I will never be off meds. My brain just doesn't do what it should. I still take many wonderful supplements but meds are needed. There is nothing wrong with that. I'm 49 and with strong family history and hormones ya. God bless the doctors and therapists and medication ❤ Luke the apostle was a physician.
That is so interesting! Thanks for sharing this. For anyone interested, Life Extension sells it. According to Google - Benfotiamine is a lab-made version of vitamin B1, also called thiamine.
My stepmom gave this to my dad while they lived in Tennessee, hundreds of miles away from the rest of his and her family. His idea to live there, but didn't realize the disconnection that'd result from it, with people only sporadically being able to visit, including me. I loved my dad, passed away a few years ago. My stepmom said he'd have days he was so besieged by sadness he could barely get out of bed. And yet, those few times I'd visit, he was energetic, upbeat, 'rarin' to go out and enjoy the day with me. I don't know if it helped him, sometimes, situations have to be tended or resolved for true alleviation. But seeing the supplement reminded me of all this. It's good of you to want to share your experiences with others, to help them. I do the same with so many, and the proudest moments I have are when my guidance helps someone decisively. On a side-note, I think you're wonderful, and entirely lovely :)
I’m so sorry that you lost your dad. I lost my dad two years ago and it’s been so hard being here without him. Some days are harder than others like today, it’s his birthday. He was the greatest dad in the world and it’s really hard being here without him which is how I landed on this video. I’ve done a lot of work to overcome my grief and depression but it’s still very hard I’m looking into supplements that support our brain and I really hope it helps. id your dad ever overcome depression? I hope you’re well and am sending you a virtual hug 🤗
Sounds like you left a relationship with a narcissist or were caught up with a situation with a toxic person. If so, my heart goes out to you, since I know all too well how personally destructive that is. If not, I do know how constant anxiety feels and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
Try taking very deep breaths for an entire hour daily.. you‘ll be blown away after one week i promise. Maybe already after one or two days. Might be your biggest challenge tho. Breathwork is unpopular because its emotionally hardcore but also causes hardcore positive changes, you cant imagine how big they are unless you go for it. Very deep inhales, confortable speed, exhale just letting go, but should be no shorter than the inhale. important to take very DEEP breaths / inhales until your lungs start to stretch, speed just what you‘re confortable with. closed or open eyes doesnt matter. sitting or lying. music of your choice or silence. btw meditation is nothing compared to breathwork
Thanks so much for sharing this. I was doing some breathwork - Wim Hof style, but not for an hour a day. It probably did help to some extent at the time. :)
@@laughingoutloud3713 I think you posted a very good thing to do, & it's so encouraging (and doesn't cost a thing-but a little time ) I think this, and perhaps "grounding" can assist in addition: hands in potting soil just working with a small planter box, and a few plants transplanting, and I felt so much better I could hardly believe it.
@@sv-yh3mq yes i have a grounding pillowcase plugged into the power outlet (grounding pin literally ends up in the earth), feeling huge effect.. even my brother who has zero issues feels undeniable benefits and keeps using it.
Every time i fell anxiety,it is mean that my rememberance of Allah decrease.. and whem my Faith increase by dizkr,and doing good deeds,just what the Qur'an says that Allah will test us with fear.. so my heart feel content
What you had was neurosis event. When it happens you should not fight it just let it be and don't get scarred of any new symptoms just know its from neurosis and it will go away otherwise it will get worse and worse and even panic attacks etc.
I'm from south Africa and we have a plant called sceletium tortuosum here that is quite extraordinary in how it deals with depression and anxiety. Personally it saved my life, it's cheap and has zero side effects as far as I know. I've been taking it for more than ten years and I cannot praise this plant enough. Please do your own research but for anyone suffering from anxiety or depression in my opinion it's much better and safer than st John's wort.
I hope it works for you as well as for me. I actually started growing it myself a couple of years ago. It's a succulent and pretty easy to grow if you can find some.
It comes in capsule form( 100mg) or loose in powder or you can actually smoke it if that's what you like. It also comes in a tincture etc. The recommended dose of 100-200mg is quite low and I've taken up to 1, 5g at a time when I was really struggling with alcohol issues and it worked really well with no side effects. It's great for cravings and general mood uplifting.
It takes 2 or 3 weeks to get the full effect. 5 HTP is absolutely the best supp but it takes time for the positive effect (mood) to kick in. 30 minutes before sleep you will get tired and sleep much better. But be sure your serotonin levels are low or the opposite will happen.
Wow, looking at the ingredients list that looks like a powerful combination! NOW never fails to impress with their supplements, I take Now Valerian and Magnesium Malate (currently also in a stressful time! Haha)
I see B12 is in your supplement. I take 1000 mcg of B12 - for years - as recommend by my naturalpath and in itself it is a good anti-depressant for me. Thank for sharing! ❤️🇨🇦
That is because without adequate b12 your body cannot make serotonin..I get shots from the docter as my body is unable to.ansorb through diet and supplements...I can tell when I'm low as it really affects my mood.
@@mmmmlllljohn Hi, is it just a regular B12 without any extention ? I see several that say Vitamin B12 Cyanocobalamin and Vitamin B12 Methylcobalamin . I am not sure which to buy. Thank you.
I will not play the violin very much but I will say that I have been through some very big life change in events and I’ve definitely seen the highest peaks of life and the lowest values of life. I will let it go with that. What I truly believe is that life is about homeostasis. Not only does your body always try to keep your body as healthy as it can with whatever it’s dealing with brings it back to centre to normality as close as it can buy adjusting all kinds of things in your body. I spent 30+ years in healthcare and I can honestly tell you I’ve seen patients that on paper should’ve been in critical condition but their body through the adaptation of homeostasis were leading near normal life. Without invoking any extreme spiritual beliefs I will say that what my belief is Life is homeostasis. When bad things happen to you even if it’s not a fault of your own. There were a cascade of events there were things that happened that brought you to the point you are in when you are in the valley. I have found these very low times very trying times are very much necessary for your growth as a human being. I believe that because things are uncomfortable it causes you to change, to adapt, to have an epiphany and or change in your consciousness. I believe by using The bad times in your life to refocus, reassess and to use your situation as an opportunity to excel. I’ve seen too many times where parents and colleagues both seek out chemical treatments because they’re blue or they’re unhappy or they can’t sleep. Like when the wind blows if you listen you can tell where the storms coming from. If you pay attention to detail you can figure out what you need to do. I think we’ve all been guilty of shortcuts weather liquor drugs or remaining in situation‘s simply because it is the devil that we know. We stay someplace because even though it is terrible We know what it is. I hope this reaches out and helps at least one person.
I’m sorry you had Togo through the anxiety and I’m glad you found something to help. I am a retired nurse and watched a man die from serotonin syndrome. He was on Paxil and just took one Saint johns wort. I’ve always been very concerned when I hear anybody talk about Saint johns wort. So many people are given SSRIs like candy. When they are combined with St. John’s wort, they react like an MOA inhibitor. You did show the serotonin syndrome, warning, and that’s good but I think it needs to be strongly pointed out how dangerous it is.
Wow, just one pill? That is tragic. I hope she posts a bigger warning on this video - I believe she said some people take St Johns Wart with their meds. I hope I heard that wrong...
Thank you for you sharing your experience your journey on anxiety! I’ve been struggling with anxiety since I lost my vision at age of 47! I’m left with prefer! I hate going out to Walmart!to restaurants! Can’t read anything!
i know exactly how or what you went through, that's great that you've found a supplement that helps you. for me i use rhodiola or ashwagandha supplements and i sometimes combine each one with melatonin but i don't combine rhodiola and ashwagandha together. both help increase resistance to stress and anxiety which has been clinically studied. also a change in my diet also helped with intermittent fasting . i too can go off and with these supplements with zero side effects. i've never tried st. john wort thanks for the tip and info its great knowing i have another potential option great video
Thanks for sharing this. I haven't really thought of it in that way regarding resistance to stress. I think a lot of people have poor stress tolerance. For me, I can handle a lot of stress normally. But, that situation was too much. I am happy to hear the rhodiola an ashwagandha are helping you. I will look into those more too and hopefully I can share that info in an upcoming video. :)
Gonna try this. I’ve had anxiety for manny years but never like I had it this past months. Anxiety and now depression is so bad I started taking strong meds for anxiety but I’m trying to just stick to vitamins while now my anxiety is less. I will try this while I’m off the meds. Thanks 🙏🏻
Also try the Motherwort pills or tincture. The tincture works very quickly if you start to feel panicky and anxious. I usually keep a small bottle with me when I’m traveling. The taste is bitter, but it will calm you down. It works anywhere between 5-10 minutes for me, and will stay with me up to a hour, sometimes longer, especially if I have not eaten much to nothing. When I used to take the motherwort capsules minutes before bed, I’d release one capsule in a hot cup of water with a teaspoon of the Calm powder, and sip on it to have a peaceful sleep. It would prevent my mind from traveling.
Your videos are always so interesting and for many reasons you are compelling. What has helped me tremendously is a combination of black seed oil, magnesium glycinate and if necessary ashwaganda. This really works no question.
Thanks so much for the kind comment and for sharing your recommendations. Thanks to you, I have added some magnesium to my shopping cart and black seed oil, because I am running low. I had no idea that might help with this issue. I tend to take it when I'm not feeling well.
@@LifeDIY I think that it's incredibly generous of you to be so open regarding things that you have gone through and how you have worked towards solving those issues. l know alot now but my biggest regret is that l didn't know of these solutions many years earlier which would have helped alleviate alot of pain and suffering. What you're doing is valuable because so many people suffer silently and are trying to search for healthy ways to solve the issue. Keep doing what you are doing beautiful lady everyone will be better off for it.
Great and informative, I hope all your worries have now gone , I too get this at night when trying to sleep , be fine all day then bed time tv off and boom , overwhelming starts in stomach and works It’s way up , drives me Mad , if I do fall asleep it wakes me bk up
I take magnesium glycinate 700mg, vitd3 3000iu's, 1 tsp calm powder,ashwagandha 1300mg, holy leaf basil 1000mg, b-100. I was taking L-theanine which seemed to help the most and 5htp, I have had anxiety & panic attacks since 017 and this past year has been the worst especially right when I wake in the morning.
Don’t mislead people come with evidence. Even any pharmaceutical drugs can damage liver . Paracetamol is the worst one but still people taking it more.
It’s great to see a young lady looking for a holistic way to help the body heal itself. We are bombarded with stresses from all levels … getting into a self care regimen including exercise (could be as easy as walking especially outdoors it helps to connect with nature) sleep schedule 10-6am is usually best for digestion & rejuvenation. Choosing relationships & careers that are meaning and are aligned with your values and most importantly our faith & volunteering in causes that help further hope! I’m a Christian and it has been my relationship with Jesus that has helped me with all of my past pains, hurts and regrets because God restores, forgives and redeems … He does give us peace even when life isn’t peaceful. Stay encouraged 🙌🏼
Judging from your knuckles in addition to the neurological issues, I would recommend looking at celiac disease. (Not being mean here, you are very beautiful, but my mother had the same.) It causes inflammation and malabsorption of nutrients which results in a cascade of problems. Doctors receive literally zero classes in nutrition in medical school. It doesn’t pay so they are not taught anything about it. The treatment is simply a gluten-free diet, which results in complete remission of symptoms. I can attest to this as I had too many to list, but am completely healthy now, on no medications and in perfect health at almost 50 years of age.
Thanks. My knuckles are just like that due to genetics, so they aren't inflamed or anything. Good point about gluten though. It is very inflammatory. I have been 100% gluten free for at least 5 years, though I started prior to that. I never cheat. I don't have dairy either. This situation I shared in this video was a period of time for me a year ago and I've never had it before - it was due to an event. I don't have that issue anymore. I really just wanted to share the supplement and my story, in case it might help anyone else. It's awesome to hear that going GF helped you so much. For many people, it may not be the only problem causing symptoms or the only change needed in order to have less symptoms. But, I think it can be hugely beneficial for many people. :)
Wow I really needed this video! I have also been dealing with severe anxiety recently due to family matters and the anxiety is showing through tremors and irritability and shortness in breath. I am also going through menopause at the same time. So many awful symptoms. My GP prescribed Celapram at the lowest dose but that causes me tummy upsets and I hate it. Another GP prescribed Norgesic which really helped my neck and shoulder tension to go away finally. They were so tensed that my arms and fingers were very weak and trembly. I got myself some Vitamin B complex but I think I want to get the supplement you recommended. Thanks Holly, I hope you feel better soon!
Thank you for sharing this. I really hope you feel better soon. That sounds like a rough combination of issues. When you mentioned the anxiety with tremors and shortness of breath, is your heart rate also elevated? I had some symptoms like that many years ago briefly and I found out I was overmedicated on thyroid meds, so I was experiencing hyperthyroidism briefly. I know that's probably not what yours is, but you just reminded me of that. Those are all very unpleasant things to deal with. It's so hard to figure out when you're dealing with menopause and this other stress. I really hope you start to feel better very soon. 🙏🤗
@@LifeDIY Hi Holly, my heart rate and blood pressure has always been on the higher side. Heart rate is typically in the eighties per min and BP 130/100. At rest heart rate is 60s-70s. I can get palpitations if the anxiety is severe but nowadays thankfully I don’t get that cos palpitations are extremely uncomfortable. I suffered that in my teenage years and during pregnancy. The GP tested my thyroid hormones and they are good and I am never on any thyroid medication. So it’s largely due to anxiety. I am currently trying arms strengthening and stretching exercises which help after the Norgesic finally relieved me of severe tension in my neck and shoulders. The tremors are causing me a lot of grief. I started noticing them after covid last year but they got very bad after some family matter in Feb. must be anxiety making it worse. After I saw the psychologist who gave me some advice which I carried out, I felt better but each time when I feel overwhelmed the tremors can come back. So I have also been doing some Meditation using Headspace app to help me breathe and keep calm. I do not feel my heart racing suddenly or whatever but I know it is working very hard every day. I am hoping to get into some exercise routine to help lower my heart rate. I feel that I am always living on high cortisol and always in a crazy busy rush daily. I really hope to take things easier daily. Some of us just are more uptight and high strung. I hate this about myself. I am always trying to live up to people’s expectations and my own expectations too. A typical type A personality.
That's great you have a good doctor helping you with these things. Those tremors are not fun at all. I've only experienced it for one period of my life in the past. Hopefully the exercising will help. I think hot baths can help too for some people (like me :) but everyone is different. Definitely a good idea to take it easy and relax whenever you can. I think pets can be helpful too when it comes to stress. 🙏
Hi, going through menopause too and have many many symptoms tremors being one of them. Health anxiety is through the roof , always feels low. Muscle weakness there is a long list . I can understand very well what your going through. Sometimes I feel it’s the cortisol variations causing all the symptoms . Drs say my symptoms are psychosomatic but it’s very real and scary. God help us
@@lambylambcurly Oh wow it sounds like we are going through very similar symptoms. And I was feeling so super weird. I thought maybe i am getting early onset Alzhemier's :( I experience muscle weakness in my arms but definitely anxiety is the trigger. On top of my own family's challenges, I have to cope with elderly parents' challenges. It is demanding mentally emotionally and physically. Cortisol level is definitely high all the time. I try to get enough sleep because that is the only time I can stop thinking about everything. I do believe my physical symptoms are psychosomatic too but the estrogen and progesterone deficiency with menopause definitely plays a large part because it affects mood, causes anxiety and fatigue. It's many multi-factorial. Have you gone in for a Dexa bone scan? Have your heart checked by a cardiologist? How about getting some pelvic ultrasound and mammogram all that? I think it is good to do all these baseline check. With estrogen deficiency at menopause, women are at higher risk of heart attacks, osteoporosis and Alzhemier's Disease. You can find this channel called Menopause Taylor and watch her educational videos. I have been learning a lot.
I commend you for not immediately pursuing SSRI"s as the masses are trained to instinctively do. When your heart is thumping at the mere thought of a charged situation, and you have six unpleasant weeks to wait for a 30% your Celexa , Zoloft or whatever was chosen, to potentially work. That's a dreadful situation that can be avoided with a little research that you had the indigenous wisdom to do. Both St Johns Wort and Sam-E are prescriptions in other countries . They have also gone head to head with SSRI's in double blind trials, and either worked as well , or prevailed. I was ignorant in my 20's, driven by blind desperation and suicidal ideation. Now I feel essentially stranded on meds.. However, I did start the latest release called Auvelity and I'm quite delighted with it. It's an NMDA receptor agonist and has no effect on serotonin. It also starts working in about 5 days. Thanks for the videos. I'm fading out on Seroquel. Night Night..
Hii holly i just want to tell you that you inspire me to take more care of myself and take care of my habits in order to live a longer and healthier life not only about looks but to live longer right now im 28 years old but everyones believes im around 22-24 at max so i hope im doing the right things 😅❤
This supplement has helped me a lot too. My anxiety and depression is far from gone, but makes it more manageable. I take a full dose, 2x a day. Prescription meds helped me too, but I stopped those because of the side effects. No noticeable side effects for me from the Now supplement. I cycle this with ashwaghanda.
I am so happy to hear this! It helped me so much years back too. It was amazing how much it helped. I do not do well with ashwaghanda though - makes me feel really out of it.
I can't speak much for the supplements and ingredients, though there usually, is a connection between depression and anxiety. I mean, having anxiety especially the greater elevated levels, it would make sense to feel hopeless or saddened that it won't get better. I took antidepressants, and only worked to a certain extent, but I much rather take supplements, or meditate, or even go to therapy than take antidepressants again, but that's just me. For some people, they do work pretty well. The key is finding what works best for you, and doing so in a safe and practical way.
For panic attacks and racing heart inderal (a beta blocker) works great. It also lowers blood pressure. It requires a prescription. Also, quitting alcohol reduces anxiety enormously. Best.
Thank you very much for sharing this information. I hope this supplement will help my brother. God bless you dear, I pray that you will continue to stay healthy. ❤
I appreciate it! I think sunlight (vitamin D) and exercise (serotonin and endorphins) are the best to help with general negative emotions/feelings like anxiety or depressive states. How do you think of Ashwagandha or Magnesium intake? I'm about to experiment and see which has a better effect. However there's some stink on Ashwagandha recently.
Hey Holly, sorry you had to go through something causing anxiety. Just curious, have you tried or do you take L-Lysine at all. I noticed myself getting anxious when I had to talk in front of large groups lately, which I never had that problem before. Lysine seems to have helped. Just curious what your thoughts are on it.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing this! I take it from time to time, but not regularly. I just did a quick search and found this from a study: "Dietary supplementation with an essential amino acid L-lysine has been shown to reduce chronic anxiety in humans with low dietary intake of L-lysine. A combination of L-lysine and L-arginine has been documented to normalize hormonal stress responses in humans with high trait anxiety."
@@LifeDIY I might have to do some research on l-arginine now. Although I'm trying to limit what I take. I'm trying to get the best results with the least amount of supplements. I basically slowly stopped taking them all and have been adding back each slowly to see what actually works and what doesn't.
Just understand that L Lysine is not something you want to take all the time. I would suggest people do their research on that. It is fine to take when you feel you need it, but my research suggests that taking it long term is not a good idea.
I experience brain fog and extreme exhaustion since I had Covid in 2020. Because I often feel tired I started to develop some depression, feeling unable to use my spare time in a recreating way. I take AAKG since early March and I am searching for supplements to get back to my normal energy level and mood.
In addition to SSRIs, St John's Wort could interact with rhodiola (an MAO inhibitor) and dextromethorphan (found in some cough syrups). Probably a good idea to look up serotonin syndrome & know the symptoms. St John's Wort can also cause photosensitivity / increase UV damage. Random supplement notes: I noticed palpitations (not triggered by psychological stress) improved w/ taking vitamin K1 (100 mcg/day) [not K2]. Taking BioSil over a long period seemed to cause palpitations & POTS -type symptoms; some reviewers on Amazon have reported the same experience. Naphazoline containing eye drops triggers palpitations almost immediately, just one drop per eye is enough. My mood seems to improve when taking reduced glutathione & my skin gets lighter; there is some evidence (mouse & human studies) showing it is orally bioavailable. It shouldn't be, since it should get digested, but fibrinolytic enzymes such as nattokinase and also (unfortunately) prions can remain intact & get taken up. So I think burden of proof should be on the 'it can't be orally bioavailable' side at this point.
@@setme4ree No, unfortunately. But I would not worry too much about it, at least not in the US, unless you eat venison. If you do - don't eat brains or organs (or sausage) - just muscle meat & be very careful if you do the field dressing. A researcher [Émilie Jaumain] became ill when dissecting prion infected brain tissue - she cut her thumb & that was enough. IIRC she was supposed to be wearing protective metal mesh gloves, but I guess they made it very difficult to do the work.
Rhodiola Rosea and L-Theanin have been shown to exert a wonderful synergy, reducing the emotional response to stressors in the short term beyond what the sum of the individual effects of the two would be and inducing a state of focussed relaxation. It also seems that the combination reduces stress more effectively than Rhodiola in the lung run. Don't combine Rhodiola with Cordyceps though. Several positive effects will cancel each other.
PTSD / anxiety appear to be an entirely normal response that virtually all people will experience if subjected to repeated or cumulative stress and particularly traumatic events. This is an exceedingly uncomfortable experience (one will engage in increasing efforts at avoidance). N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine for PTSD / Anxiety symptoms is a stunningly effective single agent... First thing in the morning on an empty stomach seems to work, but also, one to two grams will help symptoms evaporate much faster... It's actually rather remarkable... Thank you, Holly!

Love this. ☀ And thank you for sharing this recommendation. I added it to my list of things to look into and research! I'm so glad to hear it worked so well for you. And, the way you described cumulative stress and traumatic events/anxiety - was 100% accurate for me and what I was dealing with. I'm glad that's over with. :)
Thank you ! I’ll try this out. I have tried numerous herbs but boy does it affect me throughout the day feeling sluggish. I remember feeling WAY too relaxed going code 1 & the emergency lights glaring off of other vehicles definitely hindered my vision 😅it’s funny thinking about but not the job for me. Glad I left 🤣
My dad was a primary doctor in Switzerland, Europe. He preferred to give St John’s wort, instead of chemical antidepressant, to his patients. I am also taking it against chronic stress. But always first talk to your doctor, also taking supplements/over the counter medication.
@@LifeDIY We know that pharmaceutical antidepressants can cause more harm in certain situations and with certain patients. My dad was a primary doctor and not a psychologist. He did send patients, he thought need psychological help, to a psychologist. But patients with mild depression because of something happening in their live, he preferred to try with herbal antidepressant, instead of pharmaceutical antidepressants. I have seen a US documentary regarding pharmaceutical antidepressants and what harm these medications can cause. They were documenting cases of patients (mostly former military staff that came back from serving in war with psychological problems). So they first got 1 pharmaceutical antidepressant and that caused them to get other psychological problems. So the doctor gave them a second (additional) pharmaceutical antidepressant, what cause the patient to feel even worse. Some patients ending up with up to 7 different pharmaceutical antidepressants and even taking their life.
Thanks so much for sharing this. That's so interesting about your dad's experience. I know of someone who has had that issue that your dad witnessed. It's so sad to hear about those that took their own lives. I wish our medical system was better here. I agree that for some people, these prescribed antidepressants can be dangerous. I researched it a long time ago and noticed that for most of the mass sho*tings, the person was on one or just put on or off of one. It seems like it can be tricky when getting on or off and everyone is different. I think for some people, it can definitely worsen issues and for others, hopefully it helps. I don't think it's a good system at all - kind of primitive how they hand it out like candy with no regard to biochemistry. There are doctors and scientists out there who have done extensive research on the biochemical causes of numerous types of depression, anxiety and other issues like ADHD. But, it's not profitable for the industry, so that information is suppressed and doctors just do as they are told and prescribe a variety of meds with no understanding of possible underlying causes. Sorry for the tangent but it makes no sense in my mind, but we're conditioned to see it as normal and the standard operating procedure.
You really looked worried (but still beautiful). Glad it helped but I really hope you have the actual problem solved anyway. One Thing that really helped me in such a Situation was Lavender oil, it's like god sent, but be careful, most of the stuff sold as real Lavender, is cheap, fake lavender (which doesn't work), at least over here in Europe.
I had the same thing after i got the covid virus , i was scared to fall asleep didn't think i would wake up , i would think about what would happen to my family after i died and just start crying , that was at the end of 2018 when covid wasn't official yet , I'm almost completly over it now , magnesium helped me the most thru the worst parts of it .
@@LifeDIY sorry to but in but I swear by magnesium bi-glycinate it's the best form for sleep/calm/relaxation...I have been taking this form of magnesium for years. I take it at night to aid sleep but if I'm extra stressed out I take it in the daytime. Upper safe limit for magnesium is about 300mg to 400mg. Also check with a docter as magnesium interacts with alot of medicines... magnesium is great for anxiety as it helps to regulate the heart rate amongst many other benefits including balancing your hormones so great for pms time.. Avoid magnesium oxide as its cheaply made and poorly absorbed.
@@staceymichelle5576 Thank you so much for sharing this. That makes a lot of sense as to why it would help. I love glycine by itself and I am sure it is even better with magnesium - for calm and relaxation. I will buy some!
@@LifeDIY if you'd like to do your own research on the different types of magnesium uses benefits..you'll find out that magnesium is commonly known as the anti-stress mineral... so I recommend it to any one who is eligible to take it. 😁
hey tammy janis brought me here!!!! i took ginko biloba whenever my legs and feet would go cold and numb but then would warm up after taking some ginko
The most powerful antidepressant and anxiolytic is regular consistent vigorous exercise. Try starting a regimen before turning to drugs or supplements. Also are you vegan or vegetarian? If you're depressed or anxious you might want to reconsider your diet. Don't deprive your body/brain of the foods that humans evolved with over the majority of our evolution.
Thanks for the comment! Do you try to take anything to help with sleep? Is it hard to fall asleep or stay asleep? I know some people who just have a real hard time with sleep, no matter what they do. But, I also know a lot of people taking Glycine before bed (1000-2000mg) and that can really help. I tend to take 1000mg about 30 mins before bed.
@@LifeDIY I can fall asleep easily then suddenly im awake a few hours later and then fall asleep then awake again . Its a pattern thats been going on for the last 2 years or so even though i do exercise alot but even that doesn't tire me to put me to a long sleep like it use to . I will definitely look into Glycine thanks for that
@@LifeDIY This is such a challenge - in my opinion. I'm so tired from it, and it has affected more than I've been aware that it has. Thankyou for sharing

Thanks for sharing these views, I have had similar experiences (or perhaps reactions). I have heard that St. John’s Wort possibly helps with combating stress and subsequent anxiety. I do hope you continue to improve…
Just a suggestion if you are still having shoulder issues, you should try wolverine peptide. Helped with my frozen shoulder. Ben Greenfield had a good post about it.
Well, what really helped me was trying hypnosis surprisingly. I only tried it for fun, but the lady was like a energy practitioner& forest bathing helps alot too to clear the mind. ❤
Thanks for sharing this. I have heard good things about it. I will look into it more. In this specific case, I knew the cause. So thankfully I am free now and much better.
I was on zolft for many years for severe panic attacks. Also started getting crazy palpitions. I found Berberine Ashwaganda and 5htp were very helplul in weaning off. Was also on clonzapem for many years but weaned off
Anxiety is no fun. Glad you found something that helped❤
Thanks!
Have you heard of Drluckytrips he has amazing psychedelics he’s.
On Instagram
*Lemon balm* is also good for mood support, it helps to slow racing thoughts while clearing brain fog.
*Uridine monophosphate* sublingually also helps with emotional regulation, motivation, and focus.
Another very beneficial supplement is *phosphatidylserine* for the same benefits as well as calmness and improving neuronal health.
For panic attacks or depression, 5mg up to 40mg of *lithium orotate* helps, it's mild but noticeably improves mood and stimulates neurogenesis.
Thank you very much for sharing those! A few I have not heard of. I’m sure we could all use all the help We can get nowadays. Thanks again.
Not recommended for hypothyroidism
@@xxxooo8400 Only for lemon balm, but usually the dose is mild enough for occasional use.
Rhodiola is an amazing herb that GREATLY reduced severe depression/anxiety in someone very close to me. She takes the liquid form.
@@JohnLocke1776 thank you for that info!
DHEA is the best support for the adrenal gland related to stress. Over time when the adrenal gland is just overworked, DHEA is your answer. I had the same exact heart racing episodes. After realizing just how it was all related to the years of stress of living in suburban Cook Co Illinois, I looked into what would help with these adrenal issues. DHEA was the #1 answer.
When is the best time to take DHEA?
@@ivanverdian1 take it first thing in the morning to support the natural spike that the body is supposed to produce at that time.
What brand there’s so many it’s so confusing
@@slimelove3493 klaire labs has a good one.
Females should not take more than 10 mg’s.
Men , are different you can look up suggested dosage for Dhea here on RUclips.
Unless stress/anxiety depletes DHEA levels, you generally don't need to start taking DHEA until you're at least in your 40s.
Sorry to hear that you went through that Holly…Good to hear about things that help. As you say, we’ve all been through it to varying degrees. Concentrating on breathing, not identifying with negative self chatter, and just remembering to live life in the present moment, helps me.
No point in worrying about the future. If and when challenges arise, we'll do our best to deal with them then, which will be the present moment again.:)

Dear, you have cortisol increasing, you actually need a cortisol suppressor and the best is Rhodiola rosea. I am glad this helped you, but i am almost 100% sure that Rhodiola would do it even better.
Had this uncanny feeling that I had seen you before for the last few weeks and just now recalled your video of when you moved into a house in the countryside and having deal with bitter cold years ago. So cold that your vehicle tire had frozen. I’m sorry for not recalling the name of the other channel. So glad that you are experiencing some relief as I have had the same debilitating issues and agree that most GP’s do not know dietary effects. I believe the medical community has co-opted by the pharmaceutical industry promising much but delivering little when it comes to SSRI treatments before exploring serious dietary modifications first. I’m almost 9 months into low carb high fat diet (
I'm hearing you girl and sometimes you can have anxiety about something you didn't even bring upon yourself.. Anxiety is the worst! The Human condition is so complex...
So true! Thanks Christine. 🙏🤗
This is me. On and off the past year and a half. It’s absolutely horrific. My anxiety was so bad about a year ago it landed me in the hospital. I’m going to try this. I drink 1 bag of lemon balm w my lemon ginger every night. I notice if I drink 2-3 bags I feel amazing after a few days. But I’m down to try this. I really like this brand I already use their digestive enzymes and they’re fantastic
Sorry to hear that about the hospital. And, thank you for sharing that about the lemon balm and lemon ginger. I hope things keep getting better! 🙏
Can u share the exact lemon balm and lemon ginger please
Update
L theanine and magnesium glycinate (alternating) worked wonderful for me
Awesome! Thanks for sharing this! L Theanine is in that supplement and seems to really have a calming effect.
Those 2 saved my life.

What's a good dose of LPNing for somebody who's got real real dysfunctional ADHD but has bad anxiety from a previous drug history and alcohol history I got 5 years sober off alcohol, six years clean off drugs🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤❤🎉🎉
What is the dose for each? 😢 Thank u 4 sharing
I cant believe how Ashwagandha works. I just looked up for something to help with cortisol levels but I didnt realize how much more it does for you. It helps with appetite and anxiety. Research for yourself all the benefits. I dont take any other meds for depression or anything. I came across Goli gummies on sale so I just thought I'd try. I'm sure now I'll always take it.
Did nothing for me .. nada 😞
I needed a break from people
Too many people were looking over my shoulder & correcting me & dictating
I thought people were so patronizing and condescending
I felt blamed for everything that went wrong. I was bloated with brain fog and fatigue 😩 Even more lectures and demands came through. 🙃 Walking my dog seemed to help. Sadly my dog passed and the I had no one yo confide in. I still have a somewhat demanding aloof 🐈. She's not bad. She's very demanding and finicky!😊
I started walking 5 miles a day. I would journal and started talking to a big stuffed animal. After I told him all my problems I would ho out for coffee. I would prey a little and went to church.
I still feel some brain fog and fatigue. I just started and plant Nutrient fiber with enzymes. I just started yo cut back on cows milk as I have food intolerences. Furthermore I started 😍 only eating every 12 hours . Also I sometimes watch asmr videos for relaxation 😌
I am trying to avoid too many doughnut
Cookies and cows milk. All things in moderation. Plus the good Lord. He will see you through 😇
Cut out the sugar in moderation & it’ll make a big difference also
Great video! I have had situational depressions a few times and was on Zoloft twice. Recently
I weaned myself off Zoloft by tapering down and adding 5-HTP and valerian root. Other things people can find helpful- learn to meditate.
Be sure to get out and walk in nature daily. Stretch & do deep breathing.
Great advice! Thanks! 🙏
Great advice basically have followed all of these steps
Thank you so much for this video! I’m dealing with crazy panic attacks everytime I’m in public or any event and I get the heart pounding to where I feel like I’m gonna die. Been researching supplements and found this. Hopefully it’ll work. Appreciate it!
-Edit-
I’ve been on it for a few weeks now…. my heart definitely stopped racing, but the panic attacks are still there. I tried asking this girl I liked if she wanted to talk and ended up freezing up. It was probably the most embarrassing thing she ever witnessed anyone do.
Overall it helps a lot, but panic attacks can still come. Thank you for showing me 🙏
Let me tell you could rid your self from that anxiety by doing graduated exposure techniques so you don’t have to do it all at ones just practice a little bit everyday until you retrain your to behave non anxiously but require a few practice baby steps everyday

Mood support is the only supplement I've taken that's like whoa, there we go! It is ultra effective. It's also great for restoring and replenishing certain neurotransmitters.

@@LifeDIY heck yea! Same. I was shocked to see your vid and when I read the title I questioned myself what my best pick would be and it definitely goes to mood support.

Thank you so much for sharing this video and being careful to tell that vitamins can interact with prescriptions and can cause very bad problems, like liver failure. I recommend people read all the interactions on the paperwork that comes with meds and talk with the pharmacist, they seem to be more knowledgeable than the doctors.
For years, since I was a young child, I struggled with anxiety and depression, and I was always tired. I tried so many vitamins and antidepressants, but nothing worked. It was not until I became very sick and lost 40 pounds without trying and landed in ICU. 6 months later I had a smart nurse look at my symptoms and learned that I had a disease that was causing it.
If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, iron deficiency or any other issues that you can't figure out, I highly recommend that you get tested for Celiac disease and HPylori. Not everyone has gastro symptoms, and because it is the most common autoimmune disease in the US and UK, it's a good thing to rule out; stress is thought to trigger it. CD is much more common than most people, including doctors, realize.
More than twenty yrs ago I realized that I was familially depressed, meaning my bi-polar mother raising me made me into a very sad person. I was always negative and grossly unhappy about most things in life. The internet was still fairly new and underdeveloped, but I was able to find enough information about St Johns’s Wort to warrant trying it. I was taking 900 mg (300 x 3) over the course of a day. After about a month, It changed my life. It works by increasing your serotonin production. I had to take it regularly for 6-8 yrs in order to improve my brain to the point where I didn’t need it anymore. I would back off and try to go without, then the negativity would return, so I’d increase my dose again. But after many yrs of taking it religiously, it made a massive difference for my lifetime of moderate depression.
I suspect that it was some of the other ingredients such as the B vitamins that gave you the immediate relief plus a placebo effect with the SJW. It generally take 6-8 weeks at 900 mg to impact serotonin levels. Not sure where that falls for someone whose primary symptom is anxiety, but good to know that this combination is available. I’d be curious to see any metadata research on the combination of active ingredients. Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much for sharing this. My mom is also bipolar. I really believe that our neurotransmitters play a huge part in how we perceive life and if we end up feeling the way you did previously, or if a person is prone to depression or not. I have seen this in others. And, I cannot comprehend that doctors don't test neurotransmitters. They just give you the same old pharmaceutics, no matter what is going on. They don't investigate anything.
If you're interested in these topics, I highly recommend a book called Nutrient Power, by William Walsh. He's a scientist/doctor who has dedicated his life to researching and studying neurotransmitters, in an attempt to understand specific causes of depression, adhd, anxiety, etc. He's even studied the biochemistry of numerous high profile killers. He believes there are biotypes of depression that are caused by specific imbalances and can be treated with specific supplements. He's done a lot of research. Dr. Walsh is in his 80s and he's still working away and training doctors in his methods: www.walshinstitute.org/. I went to one of his conferences years ago. I wanted to thank him for his work. It really helped one of my close family members, to get through a really serious period of depression.
@@LifeDIY I have anxiety when it comes to vomiting or feeling nauseous. I also do not drive alone, I am a tad nervous to drive. I wonder if something is off with my neurotransmitters? I also perceive the world differently in that I do not understand any technology.

Theanine, Rhodiola, Relora, Ashwagandha and Taurine are my favourites.
Thanks for sharing! People keep recommending Ashwagandha. I will look into it. I too like Taurine and Theanine, but haven't tried Rhodiola in many years.
@@LifeDIY Ashwagandha is not optimal in case your cortisol is already low. Would much rather recommend rhodiola in this case.
@@fidrewe99don’t we want low cortisol?
@@yungg5703 no, we want adequate cortisol. An abnormally low cortisol level is just a bad as high cortisol... it messes with other hormones, gives you fatigue, brainfog, depression and anxiety, makes you stressed out very easily, weakens your immune system. For otherwise healthy people under stress, high cortisol is usually the problem, but if your body is exhausted, it turns into low cortisol.
Thanks for sharing, I find that some neuroplasticity techniques help guide me out of the stress response but it's the consistency that forms those new pathways in the brain. Things like meditation, breath work, visualizations, and prayer. Helps me to respond better when those anxious thoughts arise.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I did try all sorts of things at that time and especially breathwork and prayer. It did help to some extent but that time period was a bit torturous. It can take time to get through certain traumatic-type experiences. I have been through a lot of situations in my life so it did take me by surprise with how much this one impacted me. I am totally fine now and I think I'll be better prepared for the next time. Maybe I need to get back into these other practices more. :)

@Life & DIY Great content. Add Allthiamine 50mg to the mix. Great to get u out of the fight or flight mode.
What nueroplastisty do you use
Supplements are great but definitely check out nutritional deficiencies .
I stay on top of my iron deficiency, B12 and Vit D deficiency . I added magnesium, Bcomplex, zinc and use bacopa, Ashwagandha occasionally. I have SIBO so all these nutrients were very low.
So true! Thanks for sharing this. I had SIBO too before. Not fun.
Interesting RUclips upload. I can relate with being crook for about 3 .5 months roughly and changing my whole life - food, taking supplements and going for 3 or 4 long walks between 33 to 44 kms a day plus of course prayer.. And obviously being a serious Christian despite doing all those things and "getting better" I attribute my getting better to God solely.. And that sounds silly of course but.. I was really crook and was praying alot and doing all those things too but I just thought I'd just say I can relate. (So you know also I did go to the doctor and many and a few hospitals and no one could help me and strangely enough I received no advice etc and I was really angry) But.. thank God I'm better now. I don't trust doctors.. (I did also give up 21 years of marijuana smoking everyday, gave up 21 years of smoking cigarettes everyday and gave up 21 years of drinking alcohol almost everyday also)
Good for u I quit smoking weed and am dealing with mood problems and hormonal since I was using it to cope with stress its been difficult so Ive been vaping. Your comment has been inspiring to me I know I can do it with Gods help. I hope I feel more normal soon 💕
@@setme4ree well it took me at least 2 months after all those years of smoking cigarettes and marijuana and drinking alcohol every day to feel better, I had to walk ALOT pretty much every day, eat really healthy, take vitamins and I prayed around the clock too as it was taking so long to get better so I was starting to get angry / grumpy about it after I changed my whole life but one day the funny unwell feelings I had just stopped and I didn't notice it and about a week later it all went away when I noticed it and after about 2.5 weeks of being fine I felt a bit "unwell again" but once again I've improved but not 100% like I did a few weeks back and am a bit angry / disappointed and grumpy again as I'm not 100% I am very thankful though as I've never got back to as bad as it was in the beginning about 3 months ago as it was really bad 27/7 pretty much so I'm thankful to God it's not that bad because it was REALLY unbearable then. I do hope it I would just improve that tiny miniscule bit more just so I feel normal again but I'm alot better. I don't know if it's in God's plan to heal me and I keep saying to God "please take this away from me, I'm not strong enough, I can't handle it" but I'm not sure if he will as I've been not really that great health wise on and off with this and that for a while now but what I have now has been going on around 3 to 3.5 months roughly and it's really tiring and I think I'm not as close to God anymore a little as it's just been eating away at me and I can't find any help from the doctors / hospital / God etc, I do hope you go well though and I pray now that you may be healed by God, I hope anyway, thanks for getting in touch and I just pray you go well and if God doesn't heal you I pray he gives you the strength at least to bear it and blesses you also at the very least. Take care and God bless, amen!
How boring
Tried off meds for two years. Ended up in the ER. Had one year of therapy and back on two meds. I will never be off meds. My brain just doesn't do what it should. I still take many wonderful supplements but meds are needed. There is nothing wrong with that. I'm 49 and with strong family history and hormones ya. God bless the doctors and therapists and medication ❤ Luke the apostle was a physician.
For me, Benfotiamine did the trick. One dose, and my anxiety vaporized. I've never had a supplement do so much with a single dose...
That is so interesting! Thanks for sharing this. For anyone interested, Life Extension sells it. According to Google - Benfotiamine is a lab-made version of vitamin B1, also called thiamine.
Does it improve mood?
@@LifeDIY Thiamine (b1) is great for depression and anxiety!
Hello, how much dosage did you take? TIA
My stepmom gave this to my dad while they lived in Tennessee, hundreds of miles away from the rest of his and her family. His idea to live there, but didn't realize the disconnection that'd result from it, with people only sporadically being able to visit, including me. I loved my dad, passed away a few years ago. My stepmom said he'd have days he was so besieged by sadness he could barely get out of bed. And yet, those few times I'd visit, he was energetic, upbeat, 'rarin' to go out and enjoy the day with me. I don't know if it helped him, sometimes, situations have to be tended or resolved for true alleviation. But seeing the supplement reminded me of all this. It's good of you to want to share your experiences with others, to help them. I do the same with so many, and the proudest moments I have are when my guidance helps someone decisively. On a side-note, I think you're wonderful, and entirely lovely :)
I’m so sorry that you lost your dad. I lost my dad two years ago and it’s been so hard being here without him. Some days are harder than others like today, it’s his birthday. He was the greatest dad in the world and it’s really hard being here without him which is how I landed on this video. I’ve done a lot of work to overcome my grief and depression but it’s still very hard I’m looking into supplements that support our brain and I really hope it helps. id your dad ever overcome depression? I hope you’re well and am sending you a virtual hug 🤗

@@eshawk2059ur comment was like me reading my thoughts
Sounds like you left a relationship with a narcissist or were caught up with a situation with a toxic person. If so, my heart goes out to you, since I know all too well how personally destructive that is. If not, I do know how constant anxiety feels and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
Try taking very deep breaths for an entire hour daily.. you‘ll be blown away after one week i promise. Maybe already after one or two days. Might be your biggest challenge tho. Breathwork is unpopular because its emotionally hardcore but also causes hardcore positive changes, you cant imagine how big they are unless you go for it.
Very deep inhales, confortable speed, exhale just letting go, but should be no shorter than the inhale. important to take very DEEP breaths / inhales until your lungs start to stretch, speed just what you‘re confortable with. closed or open eyes doesnt matter. sitting or lying. music of your choice or silence.
btw meditation is nothing compared to breathwork
oh and btw you can try to do this even during other things if you dont have time
Thanks so much for sharing this. I was doing some breathwork - Wim Hof style, but not for an hour a day. It probably did help to some extent at the time. :)
@@laughingoutloud3713 I think you posted a very good thing to do, & it's so encouraging (and doesn't cost a thing-but a little time ) I think this, and perhaps "grounding" can assist in addition: hands in potting soil just working with a small planter box, and a few plants transplanting, and I felt so much better I could hardly believe it.

Every time i fell anxiety,it is mean that my rememberance of Allah decrease.. and whem my Faith increase by dizkr,and doing good deeds,just what the Qur'an says that Allah will test us with fear.. so my heart feel content
What you had was neurosis event. When it happens you should not fight it just let it be and don't get scarred of any new symptoms just know its from neurosis and it will go away otherwise it will get worse and worse and even panic attacks etc.
I'm from south Africa and we have a plant called sceletium tortuosum here that is quite extraordinary in how it deals with depression and anxiety. Personally it saved my life, it's cheap and has zero side effects as far as I know. I've been taking it for more than ten years and I cannot praise this plant enough. Please do your own research but for anyone suffering from anxiety or depression in my opinion it's much better and safer than st John's wort.
Thank you for mentioning this…I’ve ordered some! :-)
@@hleary1670 I got mine from Dolphin fitness website. But if you type in the name and ‘supplement’, it comes up with lots of options.
I hope it works for you as well as for me. I actually started growing it myself a couple of years ago. It's a succulent and pretty easy to grow if you can find some.
How do you take this?
It comes in capsule form( 100mg) or loose in powder or you can actually smoke it if that's what you like. It also comes in a tincture etc. The recommended dose of 100-200mg is quite low and I've taken up to 1, 5g at a time when I was really struggling with alcohol issues and it worked really well with no side effects. It's great for cravings and general mood uplifting.
It takes 2 or 3 weeks to get the full effect. 5 HTP is absolutely the best supp but it takes time for the positive effect (mood) to kick in. 30 minutes before sleep you will get tired and sleep much better. But be sure your serotonin levels are low or the opposite will happen.
Enjoy the vivid dreams with that too
Watching you relieves anxiety and stress.
Wow, looking at the ingredients list that looks like a powerful combination! NOW never fails to impress with their supplements, I take Now Valerian and Magnesium Malate (currently also in a stressful time! Haha)
Thanks, MsKaterina!
When you have anxiety everything always feels out of control and like too much to handle........
I have used this! I have GAD and have suffered with major depressive disorder…NOW brands is my go-to for supplements.
Try the GLAD thinking...watch Pollyana and how she sees the good in something.
I see B12 is in your supplement. I take 1000 mcg of B12 - for years - as recommend by my naturalpath and in itself it is a good anti-depressant for me. Thank for sharing! ❤️🇨🇦
1,000mcg daily?
@@padmeshsethuraman5617 Yes, 1000 mcg sublingual type (dissolves in the mouth). I notice my mood is down a bit if I miss a couple days.
That is because without adequate b12 your body cannot make serotonin..I get shots from the docter as my body is unable to.ansorb through diet and supplements...I can tell when I'm low as it really affects my mood.
Actually, Padmesh, I just looked at the bottle of B12 and it is 1200 mcg
@@mmmmlllljohn Hi, is it just a regular B12 without any extention ? I see several that say Vitamin B12 Cyanocobalamin and Vitamin B12 Methylcobalamin . I am not sure which to buy. Thank you.
I will not play the violin very much but I will say that I have been through some very big life change in events and I’ve definitely seen the highest peaks of life and the lowest values of life. I will let it go with that. What I truly believe is that life is about homeostasis. Not only does your body always try to keep your body as healthy as it can with whatever it’s dealing with brings it back to centre to normality as close as it can buy adjusting all kinds of things in your body. I spent 30+ years in healthcare and I can honestly tell you I’ve seen patients that on paper should’ve been in critical condition but their body through the adaptation of homeostasis were leading near normal life. Without invoking any extreme spiritual beliefs I will say that what my belief is Life is homeostasis. When bad things happen to you even if it’s not a fault of your own. There were a cascade of events there were things that happened that brought you to the point you are in when you are in the valley. I have found these very low times very trying times are very much necessary for your growth as a human being. I believe that because things are uncomfortable it causes you to change, to adapt, to have an epiphany and or change in your consciousness. I believe by using The bad times in your life to refocus, reassess and to use your situation as an opportunity to excel. I’ve seen too many times where parents and colleagues both seek out chemical treatments because they’re blue or they’re unhappy or they can’t sleep. Like when the wind blows if you listen you can tell where the storms coming from. If you pay attention to detail you can figure out what you need to do. I think we’ve all been guilty of shortcuts weather liquor drugs or remaining in situation‘s simply because it is the devil that we know. We stay someplace because even though it is terrible We know what it is. I hope this reaches out and helps at least one person.
I’m sorry you had Togo through the anxiety and I’m glad you found something to help. I am a retired nurse and watched a man die from serotonin syndrome. He was on Paxil and just took one Saint johns wort. I’ve always been very concerned when I hear anybody talk about Saint johns wort. So many people are given SSRIs like candy. When they are combined with St. John’s wort, they react like an MOA inhibitor. You did show the serotonin syndrome, warning, and that’s good but I think it needs to be strongly pointed out how dangerous it is.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I will try to emphasize that warning more, if possible.
Wow, just one pill? That is tragic. I hope she posts a bigger warning on this video - I believe she said some people take St Johns Wart with their meds. I hope I heard that wrong...

i know exactly how or what you went through, that's great that you've found a supplement that helps you. for me i use rhodiola or ashwagandha supplements and i sometimes combine each one with melatonin but i don't combine rhodiola and ashwagandha together. both help increase resistance to stress and anxiety which has been clinically studied. also a change in my diet also helped with intermittent fasting . i too can go off and with these supplements with zero side effects. i've never tried st. john wort thanks for the tip and info its great knowing i have another potential option great video
Thanks for sharing this. I haven't really thought of it in that way regarding resistance to stress. I think a lot of people have poor stress tolerance. For me, I can handle a lot of stress normally. But, that situation was too much. I am happy to hear the rhodiola an ashwagandha are helping you. I will look into those more too and hopefully I can share that info in an upcoming video. :)
Gonna try this. I’ve had anxiety for manny years but never like I had it this past months. Anxiety and now depression is so bad I started taking strong meds for anxiety but I’m trying to just stick to vitamins while now my anxiety is less. I will try this while I’m off the meds. Thanks 🙏🏻

Also try the Motherwort pills or tincture. The tincture works very quickly if you start to feel panicky and anxious. I usually keep a small bottle with me when I’m traveling. The taste is bitter, but it will calm you down. It works anywhere between 5-10 minutes for me, and will stay with me up to a hour, sometimes longer, especially if I have not eaten much to nothing.
When I used to take the motherwort capsules minutes before bed, I’d release one capsule in a hot cup of water with a teaspoon of the Calm powder, and sip on it to have a peaceful sleep. It would prevent my mind from traveling.
So great to see you again Holly! ❤️
Thanks, Susan! 🌺
Your videos are always so interesting and for many reasons you are compelling. What has helped me tremendously is a combination of black seed oil, magnesium glycinate and if necessary ashwaganda.
This really works no question.
Thanks so much for the kind comment and for sharing your recommendations. Thanks to you, I have added some magnesium to my shopping cart and black seed oil, because I am running low. I had no idea that might help with this issue. I tend to take it when I'm not feeling well.
@@LifeDIY I think that it's incredibly generous of you to be so open regarding things that you have gone through and how you have worked towards solving those issues. l know alot now but my biggest regret is that l didn't know of these solutions many years earlier which would have helped alleviate alot of pain and suffering. What you're doing is valuable because so many people suffer silently and are trying to search for healthy ways to solve the issue. Keep doing what you are doing beautiful lady everyone will be better off for it.
Great and informative, I hope all your worries have now gone , I too get this at night when trying to sleep , be fine all day then bed time tv off and boom , overwhelming starts in stomach and works

I take magnesium glycinate 700mg, vitd3 3000iu's, 1 tsp calm powder,ashwagandha 1300mg, holy leaf basil 1000mg, b-100. I was taking L-theanine which seemed to help the most and 5htp, I have had anxiety & panic attacks since 017 and this past year has been the worst especially right when I wake in the morning.
St. John's wort can cause liver damage. We talked about this is a college-level nutrition class.
Do you have any studies to show that? I'd like to read about it. I wonder at what doses this might occur and what type of study showed that. Thanks.
Don’t mislead people come with evidence. Even any pharmaceutical drugs can damage liver . Paracetamol is the worst one but still people taking it more.
It’s great to see a young lady looking for a holistic way to help the body heal itself. We are bombarded with stresses from all levels … getting into a self care regimen including exercise (could be as easy as walking especially outdoors it helps to connect with nature) sleep schedule 10-6am is usually best for digestion & rejuvenation. Choosing relationships & careers that are meaning and are aligned with your values and most importantly our faith & volunteering in causes that help further hope!
I’m a Christian and it has been my relationship with Jesus that has helped me with all of my past pains, hurts and regrets because God restores, forgives and redeems … He does give us peace even when life isn’t peaceful.
Stay encouraged 🙌🏼
Judging from your knuckles in addition to the neurological issues, I would recommend looking at celiac disease. (Not being mean here, you are very beautiful, but my mother had the same.) It causes inflammation and malabsorption of nutrients which results in a cascade of problems. Doctors receive literally zero classes in nutrition in medical school. It doesn’t pay so they are not taught anything about it. The treatment is simply a gluten-free diet, which results in complete remission of symptoms. I can attest to this as I had too many to list, but am completely healthy now, on no medications and in perfect health at almost 50 years of age.
Thanks. My knuckles are just like that due to genetics, so they aren't inflamed or anything. Good point about gluten though. It is very inflammatory. I have been 100% gluten free for at least 5 years, though I started prior to that. I never cheat. I don't have dairy either. This situation I shared in this video was a period of time for me a year ago and I've never had it before - it was due to an event. I don't have that issue anymore. I really just wanted to share the supplement and my story, in case it might help anyone else. It's awesome to hear that going GF helped you so much. For many people, it may not be the only problem causing symptoms or the only change needed in order to have less symptoms. But, I think it can be hugely beneficial for many people. :)
Wow I really needed this video! I have also been dealing with severe anxiety recently due to family matters and the anxiety is showing through tremors and irritability and shortness in breath. I am also going through menopause at the same time. So many awful symptoms. My GP prescribed Celapram at the lowest dose but that causes me tummy upsets and I hate it. Another GP prescribed Norgesic which really helped my neck and shoulder tension to go away finally. They were so tensed that my arms and fingers were very weak and trembly. I got myself some Vitamin B complex but I think I want to get the supplement you recommended. Thanks Holly, I hope you feel better soon!
Thank you for sharing this. I really hope you feel better soon. That sounds like a rough combination of issues. When you mentioned the anxiety with tremors and shortness of breath, is your heart rate also elevated? I had some symptoms like that many years ago briefly and I found out I was overmedicated on thyroid meds, so I was experiencing hyperthyroidism briefly. I know that's probably not what yours is, but you just reminded me of that. Those are all very unpleasant things to deal with. It's so hard to figure out when you're dealing with menopause and this other stress. I really hope you start to feel better very soon. 🙏🤗
@@LifeDIY Hi Holly, my heart rate and blood pressure has always been on the higher side. Heart rate is typically in the eighties per min and BP 130/100. At rest heart rate is 60s-70s. I can get palpitations if the anxiety is severe but nowadays thankfully I don’t get that cos palpitations are extremely uncomfortable. I suffered that in my teenage years and during pregnancy. The GP tested my thyroid hormones and they are good and I am never on any thyroid medication. So it’s largely due to anxiety. I am currently trying arms strengthening and stretching exercises which help after the Norgesic finally relieved me of severe tension in my neck and shoulders. The tremors are causing me a lot of grief. I started noticing them after covid last year but they got very bad after some family matter in Feb. must be anxiety making it worse. After I saw the psychologist who gave me some advice which I carried out, I felt better but each time when I feel overwhelmed the tremors can come back. So I have also been doing some Meditation using Headspace app to help me breathe and keep calm. I do not feel my heart racing suddenly or whatever but I know it is working very hard every day. I am hoping to get into some exercise routine to help lower my heart rate. I feel that I am always living on high cortisol and always in a crazy busy rush daily. I really hope to take things easier daily. Some of us just are more uptight and high strung. I hate this about myself. I am always trying to live up to people’s expectations and my own expectations too. A typical type A personality.
That's great you have a good doctor helping you with these things. Those tremors are not fun at all. I've only experienced it for one period of my life in the past. Hopefully the exercising will help. I think hot baths can help too for some people (like me :) but everyone is different. Definitely a good idea to take it easy and relax whenever you can. I think pets can be helpful too when it comes to stress. 🙏
Hi, going through menopause too and have many many symptoms tremors being one of them. Health anxiety is through the roof , always feels low. Muscle weakness there is a long list . I can understand very well what your going through. Sometimes I feel it’s the cortisol variations causing all the symptoms . Drs say my symptoms are psychosomatic but it’s very real and scary. God help us
@@lambylambcurly Oh wow it sounds like we are going through very similar symptoms. And I was feeling so super weird. I thought maybe i am getting early onset Alzhemier's :( I experience muscle weakness in my arms but definitely anxiety is the trigger. On top of my own family's challenges, I have to cope with elderly parents' challenges. It is demanding mentally emotionally and physically. Cortisol level is definitely high all the time. I try to get enough sleep because that is the only time I can stop thinking about everything. I do believe my physical symptoms are psychosomatic too but the estrogen and progesterone deficiency with menopause definitely plays a large part because it affects mood, causes anxiety and fatigue. It's many multi-factorial.
Have you gone in for a Dexa bone scan? Have your heart checked by a cardiologist? How about getting some pelvic ultrasound and mammogram all that? I think it is good to do all these baseline check. With estrogen deficiency at menopause, women are at higher risk of heart attacks, osteoporosis and Alzhemier's Disease. You can find this channel called Menopause Taylor and watch her educational videos. I have been learning a lot.
I commend you for not immediately pursuing SSRI"s as the masses are trained to instinctively do. When your heart is thumping at the mere thought of a charged situation, and you have six unpleasant weeks to wait for a 30% your Celexa , Zoloft or whatever was chosen, to potentially work. That's a dreadful situation that can be avoided with a little research that you had the indigenous wisdom to do. Both St Johns Wort and Sam-E are prescriptions in other countries . They have also gone head to head with SSRI's in double blind trials, and either worked as well , or prevailed. I was ignorant in my 20's, driven by blind desperation and suicidal ideation. Now I feel essentially stranded on meds.. However, I did start the latest release called Auvelity and I'm quite delighted with it. It's an NMDA receptor agonist and has no effect on serotonin. It also starts working in about 5 days. Thanks for the videos. I'm fading out on Seroquel. Night Night..
Did you try a magnesium supplement such as magnesium glycinate, first?
Hii holly i just want to tell you that you inspire me to take more care of myself and take care of my habits in order to live a longer and healthier life not only about looks but to live longer right now im 28 years old but everyones believes im around 22-24 at max so i hope im doing the right things 😅❤
Thanks for such a nice comment. I am so happy to hear that! 🙏
This supplement has helped me a lot too. My anxiety and depression is far from gone, but makes it more manageable. I take a full dose, 2x a day. Prescription meds helped me too, but I stopped those because of the side effects. No noticeable side effects for me from the Now supplement. I cycle this with ashwaghanda.
I am so happy to hear this! It helped me so much years back too. It was amazing how much it helped. I do not do well with ashwaghanda though - makes me feel really out of it.
I can't speak much for the supplements and ingredients, though there usually, is a connection between depression and anxiety. I mean, having anxiety especially the greater elevated levels, it would make sense to feel hopeless or saddened that it won't get better. I took antidepressants, and only worked to a certain extent, but I much rather take supplements, or meditate, or even go to therapy than take antidepressants again, but that's just me. For some people, they do work pretty well. The key is finding what works best for you, and doing so in a safe and practical way.
For panic attacks and racing heart inderal (a beta blocker) works great. It also lowers blood pressure. It requires a prescription. Also, quitting alcohol reduces anxiety enormously. Best.
for me it was the GABA by the same company!!! it was a life changer for me:)

I appreciate it! I think sunlight (vitamin D) and exercise (serotonin and endorphins) are the best to help with general negative emotions/feelings like anxiety or depressive states. How do you think of Ashwagandha or Magnesium intake? I'm about to experiment and see which has a better effect. However there's some stink on Ashwagandha recently.

Hey Holly, sorry you had to go through something causing anxiety. Just curious, have you tried or do you take L-Lysine at all. I noticed myself getting anxious when I had to talk in front of large groups lately, which I never had that problem before. Lysine seems to have helped. Just curious what your thoughts are on it.
Interesting. Thanks for sharing this! I take it from time to time, but not regularly.
I just did a quick search and found this from a study: "Dietary supplementation with an essential amino acid L-lysine has been shown to reduce chronic anxiety in humans with low dietary intake of L-lysine. A combination of L-lysine and L-arginine has been documented to normalize hormonal stress responses in humans with high trait anxiety."
@@LifeDIY I might have to do some research on l-arginine now. Although I'm trying to limit what I take. I'm trying to get the best results with the least amount of supplements. I basically slowly stopped taking them all and have been adding back each slowly to see what actually works and what doesn't.
Just understand that L Lysine is not something you want to take all the time. I would suggest people do their research on that. It is fine to take when you feel you need it, but my research suggests that taking it long term is not a good idea.
I experience brain fog and extreme exhaustion since I had Covid in 2020. Because I often feel tired I started to develop some depression, feeling unable to use my spare time in a recreating way. I take AAKG since early March and I am searching for supplements to get back to my normal energy level and mood.
Try L- Theanine with Magnesium byglycinate.
Take N acetylcesteine and Guanfacine it is proven in a study to treat brain fog after covid

I had visual disturbances with St. John's Wort. It was very scary because I was driving when it started.
I am so sorry to hear that! That is not good at all. I've never had that experience. Do you remember how much you were taking?
In addition to SSRIs, St John's Wort could interact with rhodiola (an MAO inhibitor) and dextromethorphan (found in some cough syrups). Probably a good idea to look up serotonin syndrome & know the symptoms. St John's Wort can also cause photosensitivity / increase UV damage.
Random supplement notes: I noticed palpitations (not triggered by psychological stress) improved w/ taking vitamin K1 (100 mcg/day) [not K2]. Taking BioSil over a long period seemed to cause palpitations & POTS -type symptoms; some reviewers on Amazon have reported the same experience. Naphazoline containing eye drops triggers palpitations almost immediately, just one drop per eye is enough. My mood seems to improve when taking reduced glutathione & my skin gets lighter; there is some evidence (mouse & human studies) showing it is orally bioavailable. It shouldn't be, since it should get digested, but fibrinolytic enzymes such as nattokinase and also (unfortunately) prions can remain intact & get taken up. So I think burden of proof should be on the 'it can't be orally bioavailable' side at this point.
Is there anything that gets rid of prions? In my science class they say we dont all have them but I’m not convinced
@@setme4ree No, unfortunately. But I would not worry too much about it, at least not in the US, unless you eat venison. If you do - don't eat brains or organs (or sausage) - just muscle meat & be very careful if you do the field dressing. A researcher [Émilie Jaumain] became ill when dissecting prion infected brain tissue - she cut her thumb & that was enough. IIRC she was supposed to be wearing protective metal mesh gloves, but I guess they made it very difficult to do the work.
Rhodiola Rosea and L-Theanin have been shown to exert a wonderful synergy, reducing the emotional response to stressors in the short term beyond what the sum of the individual effects of the two would be and inducing a state of focussed relaxation. It also seems that the combination reduces stress more effectively than Rhodiola in the lung run.
Don't combine Rhodiola with Cordyceps though. Several positive effects will cancel each other.
thanks for sharing. going to try it.
Check me on this, I believe Valerian Root was studied and is where Valium came from??? That is a good compound by the way.
PTSD / anxiety appear to be an entirely normal response that virtually all people will experience if subjected to repeated or cumulative stress and particularly traumatic events. This is an exceedingly uncomfortable experience (one will engage in increasing efforts at avoidance). N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine for PTSD / Anxiety symptoms is a stunningly effective single agent... First thing in the morning on an empty stomach seems to work, but also, one to two grams will help symptoms evaporate much faster... It's actually rather remarkable...
Thank you, Holly! Your comments are always insightful!

---For sure!!! Love this. ☀
And thank you for sharing this recommendation. I added it to my list of things to look into and research!
I'm so glad to hear it worked so well for you. And, the way you described cumulative stress and traumatic events/anxiety - was 100% accurate for me and what I was dealing with. I'm glad that's over with. :)
I understand what you're going through. I've been there but may I suggest that NAC and Zoloft will help you.
Thank you ! I’ll try this out. I have tried numerous herbs but boy does it affect me throughout the day feeling sluggish. I remember feeling WAY too relaxed going code 1 & the emergency lights glaring off of other vehicles definitely hindered my vision 😅it’s funny thinking about but not the job for me. Glad I left 🤣
How long do you take this supplement before you decided to stop taking it?
My dad was a primary doctor in Switzerland, Europe. He preferred to give St John’s wort, instead of chemical antidepressant, to his patients. I am also taking it against chronic stress. But always first talk to your doctor, also taking supplements/over the counter medication.
Yes for sure about talking to your doctor. Did he ever say why he preferred it over the other options? :)
@@LifeDIY We know that pharmaceutical antidepressants can cause more harm in certain situations and with certain patients. My dad was a primary doctor and not a psychologist. He did send patients, he thought need psychological help, to a psychologist. But patients with mild depression because of something happening in their live, he preferred to try with herbal antidepressant, instead of pharmaceutical antidepressants.
I have seen a US documentary regarding pharmaceutical antidepressants and what harm these medications can cause. They were documenting cases of patients (mostly former military staff that came back from serving in war with psychological problems). So they first got 1 pharmaceutical antidepressant and that caused them to get other psychological problems. So the doctor gave them a second (additional) pharmaceutical antidepressant, what cause the patient to feel even worse. Some patients ending up with up to 7 different pharmaceutical antidepressants and even taking their life.
Thanks so much for sharing this. That's so interesting about your dad's experience. I know of someone who has had that issue that your dad witnessed. It's so sad to hear about those that took their own lives. I wish our medical system was better here. I agree that for some people, these prescribed antidepressants can be dangerous. I researched it a long time ago and noticed that for most of the mass sho*tings, the person was on one or just put on or off of one. It seems like it can be tricky when getting on or off and everyone is different. I think for some people, it can definitely worsen issues and for others, hopefully it helps. I don't think it's a good system at all - kind of primitive how they hand it out like candy with no regard to biochemistry. There are doctors and scientists out there who have done extensive research on the biochemical causes of numerous types of depression, anxiety and other issues like ADHD. But, it's not profitable for the industry, so that information is suppressed and doctors just do as they are told and prescribe a variety of meds with no understanding of possible underlying causes. Sorry for the tangent but it makes no sense in my mind, but we're conditioned to see it as normal and the standard operating procedure.
St Johns Wort interacts with some medication. Blood pressure medication for sure.
You really looked worried (but still beautiful). Glad it helped but I really hope you have the actual problem solved anyway. One Thing that really helped me in such a Situation was Lavender oil, it's like god sent, but be careful, most of the stuff sold as real Lavender, is cheap, fake lavender (which doesn't work), at least over here in Europe.
How long did you take it for before you stopped?
I loved Mood Support but the St John's wort caused my severe headaches and I started off with one cap only. I had to discontinue use.
Have you heard of Drluckytrips he has amazing psychedelics he’s.

Holy thank you for sharing!
I had the same thing after i got the covid virus , i was scared to fall asleep didn't think i would wake up , i would think about what would happen to my family after i died and just start crying , that was at the end of 2018 when covid wasn't official yet , I'm almost completly over it now , magnesium helped me the most thru the worst parts of it .
Thanks for sharing this. I'm glad things are better now. Was there a certain type of magnesium that helped you?
@@LifeDIY sorry to but in but I swear by magnesium bi-glycinate it's the best form for sleep/calm/relaxation...I have been taking this form of magnesium for years. I take it at night to aid sleep but if I'm extra stressed out I take it in the daytime. Upper safe limit for magnesium is about 300mg to 400mg. Also check with a docter as magnesium interacts with alot of medicines... magnesium is great for anxiety as it helps to regulate the heart rate amongst many other benefits including balancing your hormones so great for pms time.. Avoid magnesium oxide as its cheaply made and poorly absorbed.
@@staceymichelle5576 Thank you so much for sharing this. That makes a lot of sense as to why it would help. I love glycine by itself and I am sure it is even better with magnesium - for calm and relaxation. I will buy some!
@@LifeDIY if you'd like to do your own research on the different types of magnesium uses benefits..you'll find out that magnesium is commonly known as the anti-stress mineral... so I recommend it to any one who is eligible to take it. 😁
hey tammy janis brought me here!!!! i took ginko biloba whenever my legs and feet would go cold and numb but then would warm up after taking some ginko
Awesome - thanks for sharing this! Hope Tammy is doing well! :)
The most powerful antidepressant and anxiolytic is regular consistent vigorous exercise. Try starting a regimen before turning to drugs or supplements. Also are you vegan or vegetarian? If you're depressed or anxious you might want to reconsider your diet. Don't deprive your body/brain of the foods that humans evolved with over the majority of our evolution.
How long do you take this supplement?
Can you tell us Why did you use Mood Support rather than SAMe (S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine)?
Holly thanks for this as i will look into it but my problem is the lack of sleep that stresses me out.Anyway good luck from London
Thanks for the comment! Do you try to take anything to help with sleep? Is it hard to fall asleep or stay asleep? I know some people who just have a real hard time with sleep, no matter what they do. But, I also know a lot of people taking Glycine before bed (1000-2000mg) and that can really help. I tend to take 1000mg about 30 mins before bed.
@@LifeDIY I can fall asleep easily then suddenly im awake a few hours later and then fall asleep then awake again . Its a pattern thats been going on for the last 2 years or so even though i do exercise alot but even that doesn't tire me to put me to a long sleep like it use to . I will definitely look into Glycine thanks for that
@@LifeDIY This is such a challenge - in my opinion. I'm so tired from it, and it has affected more than I've been aware that it has. Thankyou for sharing
@@mystikrebel1089 sorry you're delaing with this! Sleep is so important. Have you done a sleep study? I also found a video that might be helpful here ruclips.net/video/1COqq37F82Q/видео.html
@@LifeDIY holly thanks i will watch it now as im lying in my bed right now awake lol so i saw the notification
Ashwagandha has helped me greatly. So has lemon balm. Hope this can help you too, sweetie.
For me pray is what I do daily
My stressful situation effected my digestion..Pray a d reading the word of God. Jesus you are my healer .My mind. My emotions. My heart.
Also forgiveness. To forgive yourself is key.
Same to me ihave stomach problem for 3 man's now
Would it help with social anxiety ?
Thanks for sharing these views, I have had similar experiences (or perhaps reactions). I have heard that St. John’s Wort possibly helps with combating stress and subsequent anxiety. I do hope you continue to improve…
Thank you! I am totally fine now! And, St. John's Wort seems to be a good supplement for stress/depression and anxiety.
John 3:16 blessings for you
Just a suggestion if you are still having shoulder issues, you should try wolverine peptide. Helped with my frozen shoulder. Ben Greenfield had a good post about it.
Thanks for sharing this. I will look into it!
Well, what really helped me was trying hypnosis surprisingly. I only tried it for fun, but the lady was like a energy practitioner& forest bathing helps alot too to clear the mind. ❤
Interesting
For how long did you take it?
Thank you for your input. Any updates on the NMN Ban?
Thank you! I just posted an update in the community tab - www.youtube.com/@LifeDIY/community later on I will put that update on my website too. :)
EFT does wonders for anxiety and it will help you to find the root cause of it as well.
Thanks for sharing this. I have heard good things about it. I will look into it more. In this specific case, I knew the cause. So thankfully I am free now and much better.
I was on zolft for many years for severe panic attacks. Also started getting crazy palpitions. I found Berberine Ashwaganda and 5htp were very helplul in weaning off. Was also on clonzapem for many years but weaned off
