Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Does anyone know any good source to get them? I put so much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety levels, would love to give shrooms a try.
I truly believe taking Curcumin daily for the last 4 years has played a huge part in helping put my crohns disease in remission. Along with that, the weight training and meal plan you do with me, has completely changed my over health and definitely assisted in a reduction in anxiety. Thank you Mel for playing a major part in all of this! 😀

@@DH-tv8qy It's more the other way around. When you're feeling happy you're thoughts change automatically. Your thoughts all depend on how you're feeling, not the other way around.
@@pereiraplaza222 ah ok, I thoughts generated a feeling. E.g I think something about something and that causes biochemistry to change which makes feelings.
Melatonin 5mg & L-Theanine at 200-400mg at night is great!!! Ashwagandha is terrific also, but only in tincture form does this fantastic relaxer at night work superbly. Thank you for the great videos!!!
Magnesium L-Threonate best form for the brain, it's able to cross the blood brain barrier. Also just learned of Myo- Inositol, therapeutic amounts of this is amazing for intrusive thoughts, OCD, depression, anxiety, eating disorders etc. Any mental/brain disorder. It's definately worth trying, and it's not expensive. We couldn't believe after just a few days on this my daughter was getting relief from OCD and intrusive thoughts, after years of trying many, many other things. Thank you Jesus. Answer to our prayers.
L- Theanine 250 mg is very calming; it is an amino acid. It helps you relax and think more calmly and rationally. It does not make you drowsy or sleepy. Great stuff; it usually comes with Magnesium in capsule form.
I took Asgwagandha every morning and night for a week. It did WONDERS for my anxeity and my abillity to handle stressful situations (like performing CPR in my job). BUT, after a week of use I started feeling "hollow", empty, very unmotivated and depressed. It's like my emotions got numb and my whole body just felt like a hollow shell. It was actually quite frightening. So nowadays I only use Ashwagandha occasionally during extra stressful situations. Maby once per week or less often. I stopped drinking coffee and all drinks containing caffeine. And completely stopped eating candy and drinking sodas. I also cut out as much sugar as possible. If I need a energy boost I use vitamin C and iron supplements instead (not too much though).
I weaned off of anxiety meds 6 months ago. Basically Bupoprion and Buspar. I used Ashwagandha mainly with a few other natural supplements such as Magnesium Theronate, FS CBD softgels and some natural vitamins. My anxiety seemed to be under control for the most part but my body aches and pains were daily even though I was active daily riding my bike, walking, playing golf, yard work etc. The constant aches and pains remained which I did not have when taking the anxiety meds. Any suggestions?
I’m coming off 5mg Valium taking magnesium glycinate throughout the day and evening. I have nausea and vomiting so I take anti nausea tablet. My heart races and throat feels so tight which is the worst. also loss of appetite etc. I’m trying to drink 1-2 litres per day
Great information. I've tried all the different magnesiums, and for me the one that I really feel, and especially helps with sleep, is Magnesium L Threonate. I realize everybody is different, but for me personally that stuff is something else.
@@nedrakastor1134 Yes that's right. Mag threonate is the best for your brain. I have used it before but I still prefer the other one before bed - everyone is different though. Thanks for your comment!
@@MelanieDurette I just ordered Magnesium Glycinate per your video for sleep! I'm looking forward to trying it! Thanks for your thorough information! Much appreciated!
Ashwagandha seems to help and swimming and taking a cold shower helps me a lot too. I have tried lemon balm, Valerian root and Raw garlic in small amounts seems to help too. Diet, exercise, sleeping well it all plays so many rolls in are anxiety and gut health some people say taking a probiotic can help a lot too with the gut brain connection. So many things and factors when it comes to anxiety and things like this. Great video helpful BTW!
For me, Lithium carbonate has been the most effective for severe depression. I know that’s a prescribed drug, but the orotate version is OTC and should be helpful for people too. I’ve tried almost every ssri, snri, tricyclic, etc. and lithium is the one for me. I find that most of the supplements in the video are more sedating like melatonin and not so effective in racing thoughts or low mood. Just my experience. Thanks for the video.
I’d be interested in learning more about this Lithium carbonate and your experience in general. Been down the tricyclic/ benzo hwy. Effective but a bit harsh in the transitioning on or off.
I am already taking Ashwaganda but in a tea form along with Tulsi and Gotu Kola. I have been taking a lot of magnesium the past several days. I also take GABA and Tryptophan before sleep. On top of that, for depression, I take Lithium Orotate (it's good for ADHD/depression and bipolar) 5-20 mg doses. I also take a lot of B3 Niacin. I guess I'll switch the Ashwaganda during bed time.
Ashwhagndha tends to over stimulate me and it's used for energy, testosterone enhancement AND SOMEHOW also anxiety. It is confusing and makes me anxious more than it calms me 😈😎😇
That's frustrating David. Everyone responds differently so maybe it's not the herb for you. I've tried taking it midday and it made me feel really off and out of whack. Seems to work for me at night. I've recently been trying rhodiola and found that gives me a gentle calming effect. You could see how you feel on that if you are looking for something.

@@guepardlover4714 I can't advise you on what to take exactly - do some research on the supplements and then you can decide. I wouldn't see problem although you might have a really good sleep!
I also take the same exact brand magnesium for about 3 years now. I take magnesium at night along with 100 mg of 5htp (for depression/binge eating disorder) and a Omega 3 multivitamin. In morning I take a sublingual b12 (for energy cause I'm vegetarian) Experimenting with collagen now I only take 1 of the 3 pills and I noticed my nails grow better. Looking into Ashwaganda soon 😁
I appreciate your thoughtful message. Many of Drs Best formulations have lesser desirable ingredients (at least US formulations). Other low cost quality brands to consider include NatureBell, Now, Swanson, Horbaach, Piping Rock, Life Extension (but some formulations also have less desirable ingredients as well).
I discovered my anxiety is cause by NARCOLEPSY. I constantly feel sleepy and exhausted. When the symptoms such sleepy attack, this is the time my thought run havoc and my physical get anxious. So I take supplement such magnesium chelate and so on to make me nap quickly. Booom!! after good nap (usually 15 minutes) my thought so calm, my physical not shaking, and I feel like I can conquer anything. Then after like 2 hours, narcolepsy attacks again.... urghh
I wish that Drs realize that each of us are unique ! We are treated as cookie cut patients I’m sick of it If the Drs don’t want to help us not hurt us😡🎃
I feel for you. I've also struggled to find a good doctor in my life and it feels like there's a real gap between want women want in healthcare and what they get. Thanks for your message. Take care. xo
@@MelanieDurette I’ve lost confidence & trust in Drs. When I was in the Drs office I felt invisible they never look in my eyes they stare at the computer! So many mixed up prescriptions difficult to reach Drs for correction by myself & the pharmacist When calling for advice Drs aren’t covered by services or other Drs I receive a recorded message to go to Emergency Room😡 Currently 8/31/21 our hospitals are filling up with COVID Or Delta8 Sorry to say that as a retired nurse I know that if you are overwhelmed & exhausted & totally fried you are can easily (not on purpose )make mistakes Be Well Melanie Thank You for your advice!! I’ll be subscribing 🌹💕
@@barbaracarroll4774 I think the answer lies in taking as much control as possible over our health and knowing what we want when we go into the doctor's office. Unfortunately sometimes not even that works. I really understand what you are going through and sending you big hugs!
@@MelanieDurette ThankYou 💕 I’m glad to hear that you know exactly how I feel. I look forward you’re truthful and provide important information Be Well 🥰
Wonderful video thank you so much for your advice, my question for you is, why is it when I take magnesium citrate, my stomach hurts so bad that it keeps me awake? When I don’t take it, I’m able to sleep. Any advice on this matter?
Magnesium Citrate is like a laxative. Peoples take it for constipation and to get regular. If you want to sleep you have to Magnesium Glycinate that one is for sleep. There are many types of magnesium and they all do different things research it.
Thank you for providing the doses and the specific brands that you use! Wealth of information provided here. If you have specific information for adults on the autism spectrum that would be amazing!
Hello im eliza..im suffering unxity ..and stress i cant sleep.....where i can buy this product....please answer...thank you verrymuch...god bless....i hope you read my mesage...im from the philippines🙏
Hi. Everyone is different so I can't say which will help the most. I have found the Metagenics product helps me the most when anxiety is really high so if you can find a similar product that may be a good start.
Hi. If you can find the Neuro Calm it is still my favourite. I have been told that it's not made anymore but I'm not sure. I still have some left so I haven't sought it out.
Thank you for this video on supplements for anxiety, I bought every supplement mentioned and had fun experimenting. I agree with all said, they are amazing supplements.
It's still available in New Zealand but I'm not sure what is available in other countries. If you find out, please drop a comment here to help others. Thanks!
BLOOD WORK is NO1 then you can see what you are deficient in then exercise is key just walk 1 hour a day or what ever you can, then diet whole foods and as much plant based foods as possible and join a gym exercise is essential for health... zinc 5 ttp ashwaganda and fish oil
I don't see why you couldn't take them all. I usually took my curcumin at a different time but I took all the other ones together. No specific reason - it was just the way my day was set up :)
Hi Norm. I don't know about interactions with medication sorry. I'd suggest researching the ones you are interested in to see if you can mix them. You can also ask your doctor but often they don't know.
Hello, I suffer from anxiety and tension, as sometimes my body trembles when a problem occurs in front of me? My question is whether the supplements work for my condition and how many times a year can I take them without causing side effects
Hi Kareem. I can't really say how they'd work for you. I get the most relief when anxiety hits hard from the Metagenics supplements. They give me relief in about 30 minutes and the ingredients are not addictive so you can take them year round. But unfortunately you can't get the Metagenics unless you are in Australia or New Zealand (I didn't know that when I filmed the video sorry). You could look for supplements with similar ingredients and try them. Any help is better than none. Take care.
@Melanie Durette that would be wonderful. I've only been taking the magnesium tabs for about 3 weeks and I have noticed a big difference in my mood. I'm a lot more clear headed.
Ignatia is for sadness - often originating with a loss. Characterised by excessive crying. A homeopath will be looking for particular aspects of your body, health and personality before prescribing, so although Ign works well for you it may not for other people. 😊
@@wendyd8826 Very true, but it's harmless if it does not work... My friend became a Naturopath when we were 30, now we are 75..it's an amazing journey. Stay well.
Is there any supplement that includes a lot of these bc I can't afford to buy like 5 different supplements... would magnesium glycinate itself help with anxiety and insomnia? bc these are my 2 biggest problems
This Neurocalm sounds good.., but I read dosage list and all vitamins are way too high levels.. I don't know if that's right dosage for everyone, because some people body weight is lower some people has more body weight I'm not quite sure if it's well balanced.. Anyone was some experience with it?
I have had all sizes of ladies use it here with no problems but everyone needs to be careful and make sure they feel comfortable and safe using supplements.
So besides your anxiety supplements do you take any others? I'm going down the supplement aisle and I'm tempting to keep adding on to my stack but I feel like that's totally bad for me.
Hi. Remember I'm not an expert so do your own research but my thoughts on your questions are as follows. There's usually not enough magnesium in a multivitamin to make a difference and I take my multivitamin around midday whereas I like to take a big dose of magnesium before bed to help with sleep.
I haven't seen any research saying magnesium is bad for you but I've read a lot of research on the benefits! Finally, in terms of other supplements, these are the ones I mainly use for anxiety. The NeuroCalm makes the most difference for me while the others I mainly use on a daily basis for overall health and feeling good. I have been experimenting with rhodiola lately but so far I think I'll use that one just to help buffer in periods of high stress.
@@hatersgotohell627 I did some research for you and you are right. How unfortunate but I can't find that formula in the US anymore. They do have Tran-Q formula that has some similar ingredients. Potentially pairing that with a good strong lavender supplement would be very similar but I can't say for sure. So sorry you can't find it there!
Hi Monique. I think I need to do a follow up video in the future because when I originally filmed the video I thought you could get Metagenics worldwide. Unfortunately even if you can find Metagenics, sometimes the formulas differ in different countries. My best suggestion is to go back to the video where I give the ingredients and then try googling them to see if you can find something with similar ingredients (at 10 min 10). I think the jujuba, magnolia and passion flower are all very good and you should be able to find supplements with one or two of these ingredients. Hope that helps.
Hello..Is there a difference between coffee and dark chocolate..because I suffer from essential tremor disease and the doctor forbade me from coffee..Can I have dark chocolate?
I have a question about Metagenics , I'm a health coach in Florida , can we order for clients without being a practitioner ? And what are the requirements? Seems like a really good product !
Hi. You'd have to check with Megagenics for the requirements in the U.S. and also find out what their equivalent product is because I don't think they have the same products there unfortunately. If you do find something please let us know because lots of people are wondering how they can get it in the U.S.
Hi Melanie, thnx for you video. do u know if they still sell neurocalm. I looked everywhere and I can’t seem to find it. Please send a link or point to the right direction. Thanks
Hi. I don't have access to Metagenics anymore so I can't check the catalogue for you. It was a very popular formula so they probably do still sell it or something similar but you would have to find someone who sells Metagenics so you can ask. In Australia or New Zealand it's quite easy to find someone but I'm not sure how you do it if you are in other countries sorry. Some other good formulas have been suggested in the comments here. You can also look for formulas with similar ingredients. One of my favourites is valerian root and I also love lavender.
@@MelanieDurette thnkyou no wonder I could not find any! It’s hard to find that exact ingredient tho. I know there are other calm supplement just not sure how to choose them. Thnx for your content n reply
@@sarinahay1523 Yes sorry this video is a few years old now. I am planning to film a video on how I managed anxiety with practical lifestyle tips so hopefully that's helpful! I'm a few months off filming it yet though.
Hi. Take whatever is available to you. I think the Neurocalm is the strongest but unfortunately it's not available outside Australia and New Zealand (I didn't know that when I filmed this video). You may not feel the same effect from something like magnesium but if it helps your sleep (which it does for most people) then that's a win that will help you feel and cope better too.
Hi Cheryl. Yes you can still get it here and I use it all the time. Unfortunately when I filmed this video I didn't realize you couldn't get the same formulas in North America. Sorry! You could try to find some supplements with similar ingredients. Someone also commented recently that the Planet Ayurveda products in the US have been helpful.
Hi. In this video I show the Jarrow Curcumin but recently I have been using the Now Foods Curcumin. You can see more about curcumin in this recent video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fVeZY0Vd-_A.html
Hi Laruen. I take magnesium and ashwagandha in the evening because they help me sleep. I take Neurocalm more acutely - so whenever I need to stop thinking!
Hi Lupe. Unfortunately this video is a bit old and I don't think they make the Neurocalm anymore. Have a look at the list of ingredients I talk about and maybe you can find something with one or two of those ingredients. Also quite a few people have left suggestions for similar supplements in the comments if you read through them.
Hi. Sorry to hear that. I'm not sure but I suspect if you treat the anxiety the tremors would improve. Ashwagandha is very interesting in that it has a lot of benefits so you could dive into the research a bit more and see if anything sounds like your situation.
Omg I have been suffering from that for a couple yrs. It’s so crazy I felt so scared for the longest time but I am learning it’s my dang anxiety. Mine are very mild but it’s still such an annoying feeling.
here's several things you can try Don't take stimulants such as alcohol and caffeine Take part in relaxing activities Do daily exercises Join a self-help group (I learned these and more tips from Trevs panic fixer website )
Hi Clint. Sorry I just saw your message. It depends where you live. Unfortunately after filming this video I realised that the version of Neurocalm that I use is only available in Australia and New Zealand. I have had a few people say that they've been able to order it from Australia but I'm not sure where they got it. You could try googling. Hope that helps.
Hi. Unfortunately after filming I realised the Metagenics products were different in the US but you can buy all the other ones on sites like Iherb and Vitacost.
