Supplement Spotlight: Manage Stress & Reduce Anxiety with PharmaGABA
You know a supplement is good when your client keeps singing its praises. Not only has she been taking every chance she has to tell me how these fast acting PharmaGABA chewables from Designs for Health have been able to help her manage her stress and reduce anxiety quickly so she can focus. But she also reports that she has been able to cope with stress easier and can talk herself down from a heightened emotional state better… even if she forgets to use them!
This means that over time, my client has been able to control her stress and anxiety without continued use of medication or consistently using increasing amounts of supplements. Since taking the supplement, my client has experienced less stress and overwhelm which has allowed her to be more consistent in her health habits. This has allowed her to maintain her fitness results and keep her energy up which was something that she struggled with in the past and was why she sought me out for coaching.
GABA, also known as gamma-aminobutyric acid, is a naturally occurring amino acid in the brain and is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system that helps you relax. You can click here for more info about GABA and where to find it in your diet, but for the sake of this blog, I’ll just say that the Standard American Diet doesn’t allow people a lot of opportunities to consume GABA. And if you are a picky eater, then you may also have trouble maintaining balance of your GABA levels especially if you deal with chronic stress or anxiety.
Pharmaceutical SSRIs only circulates the neurotransmitters that are already in the body and doesn’t help the body make more… so if you get off your medication or forget a dose… your symptoms come back. For more information on how this works, you can check out this blog. If you don’t feel like reading the entire thing then at least watch the video in the beginning.
Supplements such as PharmaGABA, on the other hand, helps restore your body’s neurotransmitters that has been depleted due to chronic stress or anxiety. When you refill your body’s depleted chemical messenger storage, you get better without being dependent on medication long term to feel normal.
You don’t have to depend on medication for the rest of life to maintain your mood. You can live life on your own terms once you figure out how to nourish yourself. I offer a variety of effective mood support supplements in my supplement shop. You can view some of the options at the bottom of this blog post.
If you need help managing stress or preventing overwhelm in your life and are interested in coaching then let me know. From supplements to coaching, I offer a variety of ways to help you find relief. I hope this helps!
Hi! My name is Amber and I’m a Body Goals Builder, Master Life Coach, Certified Health Coach, CTNC Mental Health Specialist, Stress Alchemist & Fear Conqueror
For 11 years, I worked as a personal trainer, helping people reach their fitness goals in the gym. But I kept noticing that many people weren’t reaching them simply because they were using exercise as an escape to “sweat out” their life problems instead of addressing them at their core. After realizing that I was doing the same thing in my life, I developed a simple 4 step Stress Alchemy framework to help me overcome roadblocks in all areas of my life and now I coach others on how to do the same. At the STEW Project, we are maximizing our living potential by Simply Taking an Emphasis on Wellness.
