Could calming your brain be the first step toward lasting healing?
In this episode of The Resiliency Method® Podcast , Dr. Erika Schultz welcomes functional nutritional therapist Laurie Hammer to discuss her remarkable personal healing journey and how amino acid therapy transformed her life after years of struggling with anxiety, depression, and an eating disorder.
Together, they explore the role neurotransmitters play in emotional health, how targeted amino acids may help restore balance, and why calming the brain often makes every other aspect of healing easier. Laurie explains how deficiencies in serotonin, GABA, catecholamines, endorphins, and blood sugar regulation can contribute to chronic symptoms and shares how she combines nutritional therapy with lifestyle changes, detoxification, nervous system support, and whole-food nutrition.
The conversation also explores the importance of vagus nerve health, breathing exercises, emotional resilience, faith, and supporting the body's natural healing capacity. Whether you're navigating anxiety, hormonal changes, chronic stress, or simply looking for a more holistic perspective on mental wellness, this episode offers practical strategies for supporting long-term brain and body health.
