Desperately looking for answers to help her daughter through addiction of drugs and alcohol, Shelly Jo found tools to reduce addictions; and help children, teens, and adults beat the struggles of cravings, emotions, and weight gain. Feed your brain - brain food. What you eat matters. Get rid of negative self-talk. Do you want these tools to significantly reduce feelings of anxiety, depression, stress, cravings, and addictions? And increase your energy, sleep, happiness, and weight loss? While standing at my vendor table, a woman stopped, looked at my sign with a puzzled look, and stated. "Amino Acid Therapy, Nutrition, and Hypnotherapy, that's an odd combination. How do they work together?" I smiled and asked, "Are you ready to find the answer?" Ste stated emphatically, " Yes!" Are you ready to find answers to change your life? Neurotransmitters are the happy, calm, feel-good, positive chemicals in your brain (Serotonin, Dopamine, GABA, Endorphins). When depleted, emotional and mental issues may develop. In this book, Shelly Jo will take you down her journey of being a mother of her beautiful daughter who struggled with anxiety as a child, and who turned to drugs and alcohol as a teenager to self-medicate. Embrace the stories of those who have used these tools and have had incredible results. And, learn these same how-to tools, utilize them, and feel better emotionally, physically, and mentally. "Shelly has been working so diligently to learn about the importance of amino acids and how they are the building blocks to some of the most important neurotransmitters in the human body. She is great to work with and a joy to learn from." "...In this book is the story of her journey as well as a taste of everything I teach in the Academy for Addiction and Mental Health Nutrition. May it change your life as powerfully as it did Shelly Jo's." "Fascinating! The secret powers of amino acids your mom never told you about. Wait! That no one ever told you about!" "...This work is definitely worth a review, and a personal "guinea-pig" style test. Nicely done, Shelly Jo!" "...This book will give you hope and answers you may have never heard of before.
