The "Wired but Tired" Fix:
To understand why you feel “wired,” we need to look at two massive neurotransmitters in your brain: Glutamate and GABA.
-Glutamate is your brain’s gas pedal. It is an excitatory neurotransmitter responsible for focus, alertness, and learning. When you are under chronic stress, your body pumps out massive amounts of cortisol and glutamate.
-GABA (Gamma-aminobutyric acid) is your brain’s brake pedal. It is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that calms the nervous system, prevents anxiety, and initiates deep sleep.
When you experience chronic stress, trauma, or hormonal shifts (like perimenopause), your brain gets stuck in “Glutamate Dominance.” The gas pedal is glued to the floor, and your body stops producing enough GABA to hit the brakes. The physical result? Severe anxiety, insomnia, and sensory overload.
To fix it, we researched highly targeted natural medicine approach. You can successfully quiet your overstimulated brain using a specific combination of:
Magnesium L-Threonate: Unlike generic magnesium citrate (which mostly stays in the gut), Magnesium L-Threonate physically crosses the blood-brain barrier to calm hyperactive neurons.
GABA: Directly supplementing the brain’s primary inhibitory neurotransmitter to hit the “brakes.”
L-Theanine: An amino acid found in green tea that dramatically increases alpha brain waves, promoting a state of “wakeful relaxation” without grogginess.
Ginkgo Biloba: A powerful botanical that acts as a neuro-protectant and improves cerebral blood flow.
If you feel like your nervous system is constantly vibrating, it is time to stop settling for exhaustion. By utilizing the latest research in functional medicine, we can quiet the noise, calm your adrenals, and help you finally get a good night’s sleep.
