Another reason for grilling. Chicken, the amino acid tryptophan, and a happy brain.
The meat in chicken and turkey is high in the amino acid tryptophan. When combined with a meal high in starches like potatoes, the intestines absorb tryptophan at a high rate.
6 ounces of chicken has 687 mg of tryptophan

The body then converts tryptophan into serotonin. Melatonin, which serotonin converts into, lets your brain relax so you can go to sleep.
And, serotonin has an additional benefit, making tryptophan (Sleep Guard from Perque) the better choice over melatonin supplementation. Serotonin helps the adrenal glands manage stress. It helps balance the brain’s signaling to the adrenal glands while we sleep. This is very important when trying to stay asleep through the night.

A. Enjoy summer and grill a chicken and maybe a turkey.
B. Walking really helps, as well as stretching before you go to bed.
C. Getting outside first thing in the morning. The green light from the sun going through the trees relaxes the brain.
D. Sleep Guard®️ from Perque®️ is 100% pure tryptophan.
E. Test
A very simple overnight urine test will measure your brain signaling amino acids called neurotransmitters. The goal of testing is to determine if stress levels have diminished your ability to cope, leading to anxiety, and affecting attention, focus, and stress management.
Names of neurotransmitters that are tested:
Serotonin helps with appetite, mood, and sleep.
GABA – Gamma amino butyric acid promotes calm. Important for anxiety, stress, and sleep.
Glutamate – Learning and memory.
PEA – Phenylethylamine – Promotes energy, elevates mood, and regulates attention.
Dopamine – the happy hormone neurotransmitter. This gives you the feeling of reward – happy.
Norepinephrine – Increases alertness, heart rate, and blood pressure during stress.
Epinephrine – Elevates with stress, stimulating the brain.
Norepinephrine / Epinephrine ratio
Creatinine – This will elevate with prolonged memorized stress.
The issue is the brain memorizing a stress pattern, leading to anxiety, mood, and the inability to lose weight.

The reason for testing and talking.
Listening + Testing = Understanding and solutions
Call – just a conversation. I’ll tell you if I can be of help.
