\"intrusive<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not uncommon for an adult woman to have had intrusive thoughts her entire life and not even recognize that they are connected to her anxiety levels. She is often unaware that there is anything she can do to actually ease her anxiety and reduce the bad thoughts (such as fearing horrible things happening to her husband and children). Enter the amino acids: GABA, tryptophan, 5-HTP and the pyroluria protocol (zinc, vitamin B6 and evening primrose oil). They can do all of this and more. Kimberly shared her own experience and success on a blog post about intrusive thoughts and these specific nutrients<\/a>. Here is her story in her own words:<\/p>\n

Oh my goodness, I\u2019m realizing after reading this, that intrusive thoughts are something I\u2019ve had my entire life. As a child, this manifested in thoughts of what might happen to my one stable parent when we were apart. More recently, I feared horrible things happening to my husband or children. Like the author of the original blog wrote, these intrusive thoughts reflect a greater anxiety. But I didn\u2019t realize this until I began experimenting with your protocols.<\/p>\n

I first tried GABA when I felt extremely anxious, but not on a regular basis. Next, I added the pyroluria protocol, which did bring some relief to the intrusive thoughts. Fast forward to today, when I also take 5-HTP, tryptophan and GABA regularly and have noticed a drastic reduction in those thoughts\/fears. It\u2019s like a miracle.<\/p>\n

My fear level is maybe 15% of what it used to be, if that.<\/p>\n

I also find that I can use extra GABA at night if I wake up and can\u2019t shut off my mind. It works like a charm to help me get back to sleep. What a blessing to have these amino acids.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a calmer, more serene person than I\u2019ve ever been, without (for the most part) the crippling, irrational fears I used to experience. Thank you, as always, Trudy. You are also a tremendous blessing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I thanked her for sharing and said how glad I was that she is connecting more and more dots. It\u2019s very common to suddenly realize you\u2019ve had these intrusive thoughts your entire life. With her\u00a0 amazing results, combining all the above nutrients she is a poster child for this approach that I use with my clients. I\u2019m thrilled for her miracle outcome and so very happy for her.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sharing her story here as a new blog so I can provide her with some additional approaches to explore and so you can see how these amino acids and other nutrients have worked for someone else (and get your own insights.) I\u2019m also sharing my feedback on how she approached things.<\/p>\n

Additional approaches to her to explore: adjusting what is working for her now<\/h2>\n

Her fear level is maybe 15% of what it used to be but ideally we want to improve on that by fine-tuning what she is doing and capitalize on what is working. Know this – it\u2019s not unreasonable to expect that to get to zero!<\/p>\n

If we were working together this is what I\u2019d suggest (assuming she hasn\u2019t already done this):<\/p>\n
