How to Keep Calm This Holiday Season
The holidays. That time of year that we both cherish and dread. Parties, travel, gifting, family, these can be both magical, and the reason many people experience increased stress and worry during the holidays. So how do you keep calm when the kids start fighting in the backseat or you get a flat tire on the way to your parent’s house? How do you keep from getting totally overwhelmed at the thought of driving great distances to be stuck in a room with those family members that know just how to drive you mad? Though we tend to look for help everywhere else, the solution to many of our problems can be found between our ears. The ability to manage stress and adapt to new situations starts in the brain. Proper neurotransmitter balance is essential to brain health. The better our transmitters operate in harmony with each other, the closer we are to having optimal mental function. Having a balanced brain is especially important during the holidays when things seldom go according to plan and stress levels can threaten to reach critical mass making it hard to keep calm. 3 Tips for How to Keep Calm & Achieve Emotional Balance During the Holidays 1. Home Field Advantage To avoid the stress of holiday travel, offer to host the family gathering at your house this year. This strategy is particularly helpful if you’re constantly torn between visiting different sets of relatives. Even though hosting adds additional responsibilities, the celebration will be held on home turf, with your rules. Plus, when everybody else heads for home, you’ll already be home. 2. Manage Expectations If you know from past encounters that Aunt Karen starts telling crass jokes after her second drink or that Uncle Greg likes to engage in heated political debates at the dinner table, be prepared to handle those situations before arriving at a holiday get-together. Resist the urge to participate in discussions that can offend or create family strife. Always look for a way to redirect negative tirades or inappropriate conversations. If that doesn’t work, isolate the individual from the rest of the group by suggesting an activity that will allow others to leave the situation. A walk, a board game, a movie, or even asking for help clearing some of the mess can give you and others an outlet to “escape” the situation. 3. Mood Balancing Nutrition The traditional holiday meal, though offering some healthy selections, is frequently accompanied with many nutritional pitfalls (i.e., stuffing, pumpkin pie and eggnog). To fill in the nutritional gap during the holidays, it’s essential to take mood-boosting supplements.

How Balancing His Brain Changed This Man’s Life
“The past year has been very difficult on me and I’m convinced I could not have come through it without NeuroLink” -Clyde When I saw this review that had been posted on our website, I knew I had to learn more. You see, quite frankly, NeuroLink is my favorite product. It, along with the entire BrainMD line, is based on the very personal story of how I helped my niece, Jennifer. Her dramatically positive response to the powerful combination of supplements I gave her caused me to get really excited about using natural supplements to help people in a multiple mechanism approach. NeuroLink is the perfect example of that! It’s a helpful way to support the balanced production of certain neurotransmitters which enables you to think more clearly, be more relaxed, and have a healthy, balanced brain. This powerful and effective supplement delivers six powerful brain-balancing ingredients which have three main functions: To support a healthy balance of brain chemistry Promote positive outlook and relaxation Support the brain and adrenals to cope with stress I asked Clyde to tell me more about how NeuroLink had helped him. When did you start taking NeuroLink and why? “I have been taking NeuroLink for 3 months now and I’m amazed how effective it has been helping me cope and relieve the daily stress I’m under at work and in all areas of my life. I work in the food business delivering food to customers and it’s a rat race to get the food prepared and shipped to them within a very short time frame. So, it’s very fast paced and highly stressful to accomplish this. My doctor told me 6 months ago that I might want to consider a new field of work that would be less hectic and stressful.” What difference has taking NeuroLink made in your life? “It's made all the difference in the world for me. NeuroLink has made it possible for me to keep this job by being able to cope with the demands of the job. It’s like night and day the difference it continues to make every day. I've noticed and my fellow work mates have commented how more relaxed and calm I've been since using it daily. The constant stress and worry is less impactful on my emotions by a huge amount than before I started using this supplement. “I cannot thank Dr. Amen enough for caring so much about my mental health as I become better and better, day by day. I’ll be a loyal customer for hopefully many more years.” When BrainMD’s Chief Science Officer and Director of Quality Control, the renowned Dr. Parris Kidd, joined our team, he was incredibly impressed with the uniqueness of NeuroLink. “There are very, very few dietary supplements that aim across the entire spectrum of neurotransmitters,” he said, “and this product is going to be affecting at least seven neurotransmitters…it’s really a great broad-spectrum dietary supplement for balance in the brain. When your neurotransmitters are balanced, you can think more clearly, feel happier, and experience greater well-being. Let NeuroLink support and promote balance in YOUR brain!
