Julia Ross gave three presentations at the Wise Traditions Conference last year.  They all have great information on using amino acid supplements to combat addiction (sugar and other drugs), mood disorders and insomnia.  I have used them myself, and they really do work!  If you can make it to all of them, please do so!

THE NATURAL PRESCRIPTION FOR DEPRESSION: ANXIETY AND HOW TO AVOID OR WITHDRAW FROM ANTIDEPRESSANT DRUGS

Stress, primarily the stress of the current American diet and the brain malnutrition that results from it, have created unprecedented havoc in the emotional lives of at least half of the teens and adults in the USA. The risky drugs designed to assist those afflicted are being taken en masse (at exorbitant prices in the US only.) Yet the nutritional alternatives are more effective, have no side effects, and can permanently repair the neurotransmitter depletion that cause the problems.

Julia Ross, MA, is a pioneer in the field of nutrition as it impacts mood, appetite, behavior, and addiction. A licensed psychotherapist, she has founded and directed seven treatment programs in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1980.  She is the author of The Diet Cure, a holistic guide for recovery from sugar and other food addictions (40% revised edition out May 2, 2012) and The Mood Cure, a neuronutrient repair manual for depression, anxiety, insomnia, and addiction.

The Diet Cure was chosen for Amazon’s Tremendous Ten List of Health Mind and Body books.  The Mood Cure was a finalist for the Books for a Better Life Award and Ross is now the Executive Director of The Recovery Systems Clinic in Mill Valley, California, where her innovative team of psychotherapists, nutritionists, and holistic physicians have developed an integrative treatment model emphasizing nutrient therapy and biochemical rebalancing.

Serotonin Building

I returned to the Nutrition & Behavior track for the session on The Depression and Anxiety Epidemic. Julia Ross talked a lot about the importance of Serotonin. Serotonin is made from the essential amino acid Tryptophan.
