When: Thursday, Feb. 28

Time: 9:00am-1:00pm

Pricing: $250 per person

Description: Our international epidemics of obesity, degenerative disease, mood disorder, and addictive cravings for foods, alcohol, and drugs are rooted in just a few amino acid deficiencies. The brain’s appetite- and mood-regulating chemistry is dependent on a robust supply of the particular amino acids that you’ll be introduced to in this workshop. Our goal is to begin the restoration of the brain’s four key neurotransmitters and its blood sugar supply-line. The protocols we’ll use are based on neuroscientific research that started in the 1970s and continues today. Julia Ross and the nutritionists at her Northern California clinics have been applying this research for 30 years with thousands of clients. They have developed increasingly effective methods that workshop participants will have hands-on exposure to. Working in rotating dyads, participants will actually experience the aminos’ rapid effects themselves and witness the effects of the aminos on other participants.

Attendees who would like to become certified NeuroNutrient Therapy Specialists will receive credit for this workshop toward their certification.

What You'll Learn
    • Quick deficiency symptom and contraindication assessment
    • The amino trialing process
    • The basics of how to monitor and adjust dosing
    • How to antidote any adverse reactions
    • The specific dietary supports needed for permanent brain-recovery
    • Application to specific cases (ours and those of attendees)
