10 Alternatives to Medication to Improve Mental Health - Research backed treatments for Depression and Anxiety
At least 35% of people experience a mental illness like depression or anxiety throughout their lifetime. That means that you or someone you love needs resources to know how to feel better. Many people have heard that “chemical imbalance” or genes can affect mental health, but most people don’t know that you can actually change your brain chemistry without medication! Your brain's ability to change is called Neuroplasticity.
People want to improve their lives, they just often don’t know where to start. I’m making this course because this is fundamental information that I want all my clients to know. I teach simple daily habits that research has shown to work better than Prozac at treating depression or anxiety. Many of these changes take only minutes a day.
By the end of this course you’ll know 10 ways that you can change your brain’s chemistry, structure and function. You’ll learn how to prime your brain to be healthier and happier.
You’ll learn:
what modern imaging technology has taught us about neuroplasticity-your brain’s ability to rewire itself
about using your body to regulate your brain
what nutrient deficiencies to look out for
how to resolve the “scarcity brain”
techniques for resolving stress
and more!
And in my work as a therapist I’ve seen this information change lives, resolve depression and anxiety and help people be happier and healthier.
So if you or someone you loves experiences mental illness, or if you just want to know how to be happier, come join me!

Course is great and to the point. It is a good summary of different strategies I learnt elsewhere over the time and it was a good recap/refreshment for me. But it is likely to be very beneficial for many people, who are just starting to explore this area. The only slight comment I have is that it is clear that various parts of the courses were shot at different time, so there is a bit of overlap and redundancy in certain places, but this is really not a significant. So I very much recommend this course.

I enjoyed the class, but I don't feel that I got as much out of it as I would have liked. This would be fine if I had not already been battling severe anxiety for years. I already know this stuff. Idk where to turn for help for where I am at now.

Thank you. It definitely helps with the anxiety in the moment. I haven’t been doing it long enough for the rewire. Only been like a week. But I will do these daily and hopefully sooner than later things will rewire for the better.
