STEP 22 – STRESS AND ADAPTING

broken image

Too much stress can also cause us to struggle to cope and ADAPT to everyday stresses. We have already talked about the neurotransmitters Glutamate, Serotonin, and Dopamine. We continue our conversation talking about another neurotransmitter called Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) and its effects on our stress levels.

 

We mentioned before that glutamate is correlated to our cortisol levels and is responsible for releasing free radicals. Glutamate is one of our most excitatory neurotransmitters. It releases a chemical called glutamic acid to send messages to our neurons and throughout our Central Nervous System (CNS).

 

As you can imagine when Glutamate gets out of balance and is overly excited, our brain starts to get overwhelmed. Enter our friend GABA. GABA inhibits and calms down the excitability of neurons and keeps Glutamate more balanced.

 

Our science team created a whole system around this idea of sustaining both Serotonin and GABA levels. The CALMING BLEND SYSTEM will bio-chemically support your brain to promote feelings of ADAPTABILITY, self-acceptance, reassurance, security, self-love, confidence, awareness, centeredness, peacefulness, tranquility, and relaxation.

 

This system includes a CAPSULE SUPPLEMENT, ESSENTIAL OIL BLEND, and PREMADE ROLLER. The products of this system all work together more effectively, in a synergistic manner, meaning that the results multiply when used collectively.

 

The CALMING BLEND CAPSULES are a combination of botanicals and Essential Oils that support these neurotransmitters with long-lasting advantages. These capsules contain Coriander, Fennel, Lavender, and Wild Orange Essential Oils, with the supporting benefits of Sceletium Root extract, Ahiflower oil, and Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA).

 

The CALMING ESSENTIAL OIL BLEND also supports these transmitters with fast-acting power. As you breathe in this citrusy & floral aromatic blend of Wild Orange, Lavender, Copaiba, Spearmint, Magnolia, Rosemary, Neroli, and Sweetgum Essential Oils, you will experience a calming and relaxing effect. Diffuse or use topically to maintain focus, ADAPT to life changes, reduce feelings of anxiousness, and to encourage your mind and body to stay balanced.

 

You can also find this blend in the CALMING BLEND PREMADE ROLLER for simple or on-the-go topical use.
