Rebuilding Brain Chemistry: How Amino Acids Restore Calm, Focus, and Memory
Tue Feb 03 2026
Discover how targeted amino acid therapy supports neurotransmitter balance, emotional resilience, and cognitive longevity at every stage of life.
In this episode, I sit down with Laurie Hammer to explore how targeted amino acid therapy can restore balance to brain chemistry and support emotional health, memory, and cognitive longevity. We discuss how neurotransmitters are formed, why modern diets leave many people deficient, and how simple nutritional strategies can calm the nervous system, improve sleep, and enhance mental clarity at any age.
As a Functional Nutritional Therapist and founder of the Calm Mom Method, Laurie Hammer focuses on helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and other neurological conditions. Her work is driven by her own healing journey—overcoming cancer, celiac disease, bulimia, and depression through holistic approaches. Today, she supports clients around the world, both virtually and in person, offering hope and practical strategies for moms facing anxiety, depression, and the overwhelming demands of daily life.
