Every hormone in your brain has a specific mission. 

The mixture of hormones creates different effects in our brain and body. For example, oxytocin is a hormone that plays a role in social bonding, sexual reproduction, and during and after childbirth. Dopamine is a hormone that keeps you focused on a task. Serotonin is the hormone that makes you feel happy. When we put them together...voila!

We climax during sex.

Hormones are chemicals that once they are in balance make our body function like a Swiss watch—perfectly in rhythm with our emotions, our mind and our physical condition. 

When the balance is broken, it usually occurs  in the form of a mental, emotional or physical breakdown. For example, anxiety can come from a release of unbalanced hormones. 

Depression comes from an umbrella of unbalanced hormones. If outside chemicals are added to the mix, it completely alters the chemistry of our body and brain, causing unnatural...

Hi Everyone,

My name is Emily and I need to share this experience with you.

So, when I told people in my life that I was going to do a cleanse, many eyebrows lifted.  Some of the first reactions to hearing about a cleanse were frightening and acutely misinformed, and so, because of this, I decided to write about my cleanse. Also, to address some of the misconceptions about the process!

Let’s break down some of the top 5 misunderstandings about this cleanse.  Keep in mind, this doesn’t apply to all plans and remedies that are out there, but the guided, safe routine 10-day cleanse outlined by Nourish the Brain Institute.

Number One: Going to the bathroom.  This has got to win first place for the number of comments I heard when discussing the cleanse.  It is not true that being on a specific diet causes one to ‘clear their bowels’ in a rapid, unpredictable, radical way. Do people really do this type of thing to...

We are all unique, there is no other you, only because of that we all should celebrate everyday because every day is unique it depends on you what you make of it.

Are you up for adventure and discovery of your amazing gifts? Let’s get into it.

• Look at your face in a mirror and find one thing in your face you are especially proud of. You can’t say ‘nothing’ because I know it's not true.
• Write down your last good deed. I also know you are the kind of person that does good deeds without even thinking about it. 
• Now go in front of a full body mirror and point at least one thing of your body you like. It can be your brain but I want you to be generous with yourself. 

           I can see you are amazing inside out.

• Do you have at least one really good friend, the kind of friend that it doesn’t matter how crappy you behave he/she still is in your side unconditionally.
• Did you say “I...

Hello Nourish the Brain Community,

It's an honor to be writing my first blog piece for Nourish the Brain Institute.  For those of you who may know, I have been working with Gemi in several capacities, all behind the scenes, for this outstanding institute.  

In this interview, I was privileged to meet for the first time with John Freeman, Transcendental Meditation (TM) Director and Certified Teacher in San Luis Obispo, CA.  

Gemi and I walked into his breathtaking garden oasis and set up filming right away.  I could tell he was not only a profoundly eloquent person but also a fully energized advocate of the TM Community.  As this was my first experience with the concept of this practice, I was all ears about its mechanics.  So, watch the interview and find out what Transcendental Meditation involves, and how it is uniquely set apart from other guided meditations you may have tried.

What makes Transcendental Meditation a unique and...

Good morning!

Today, I woke up with a wicked headache. That means only one thing, that I need to have one day of self-care. First thing I did this morning is go for a walk. I did my morning routines and went for a massage. I feel much better and my headache is completely gone, but I will still keep working today only on self-care. That's a very important one too.

Don't forget about taking care of yourself, love yourself a lot, and spend the weekend just, you know, feeling yourself. Oh, another thing that I'm going to do today is be in nature. I'm going for a hike, but not for exercise, I am going for a hike to spend time in nature, feel it and connect with myself.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Hello!

This morning I had to get ready to go to one of my client's doctor's appointment, and the reason is because today was her last appointment with the diabetes doctor. She was sick with diabetes for years, she was taking medication and she was also taking insulin injections because of her Type 2 diabetes.

After working for a period of time with me and doing exactly what I told her to do, finally, with her doctor, we got her off insulin. So, this is a very difficult thing to make happen but when you are taking care of yourself, there is nothing more rewarding and there is no better investment than that one.

Have a wonderful weekend!

It's been an incredibly busy time at Nourish the Brain Institute.  The launching of the new program Dynamic Nutrition Specialist is something I've been looking forward to for the last six months as our team has been working to build it from the ground up. 

From script writing to filming, to the addition of new team members and website features, there is so much to celebrate!  

It all started when I had an idea, that I could not have developed fully without the use of my higher faculties.  

One day my mentor, Bob Proctor, helped to realize the importance for the world what I do and how that can help many in the world.

“It would be selfish to keep it for yourself, it is your soul calling, you have to educate people about the importance of what you do, how that can heal their brain, body, and mind."

That phrase took me totally out of my comfort zone but didn’t matter whatever would take I was going to do it and I did it....
