The Mental Wellness Summit, online, August 10-17, 2015.
An online educational and empowering experience that explores better ways to approach and treat mental health from a root cause perspective.
Today’s powerful treatment options, including specialized diet and improved nutrition, targeted supplementation, integrative medicine, naturopathy and functional medicine, somatic therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, yoga and meditation, to name a few, are available but rarely considered for treating mental health. Let’s go beyond just psychiatry and drugs, and explore the best options for wellness in this evolving field.
Here are a few of the many interesting topics that will be covered at The Mental Wellness Summit:
- Kelly Brogan, MD: Holistic Medicine and Root-Cause Resolution
- Robert Whitaker, PhD: The Perils of Big Pharma
- David Perlmutter, MD: Microbiome: A New Frontier in Mental Health
- Chris Kresser, MS, LAC: About the Brain-Gut Connection
- Ross McKenzie Co-founder of Mental Wellness Summit, Filmmaker of Bipolarized : Journey Beyond Meds
- John Dempster, ND, Co-founder of Mental Wellness Summit: Heavy Metal Detoxification and Functional Medicine
- Trudy Scott, CN: Anxiety, Pyroluria and Amino Acid Therapy (my interview airs on August 15th if you haven’t yet heard me speak on this topic)
- Mansoor Mohammed, MD: Methylation, Genomics and Mood Disorders
Here are some snippets from the interview with Mansoor Mohammed, MD: Methylation, Genomics and Mood Disorders
- getting our genetic results “moves from being generic knowledge to knowledge that is personalized. And I think that’s where the power is at.”
- CNV: copy number variation i.e. we thought we had two copies of everything but some of us have no copies of some genes
- were we to know our individual [detox] capacity and capability, we can far better act upon it, far better adjust our diet accordingly, improve our environment
- the body uses methylation to reduce a very pro-inflammatory marker, something called homocysteine
- in the last several years, there’s been a far better appreciation of the intimate link between [cardio] vascular health and mental health
- if you have the version of COMT that is the overly fast version, when you produce dopamine, your dopamine is here one moment and gone the next
- the 5-HTTLPR variation…. affects how well serotonin is taken back up into the cells
- one of the most exciting genes and variations recently discovered is a gene called ADRA2b – a variation of this gene is intimately linked to how sensitive we stay to emotionally traumatic arousing events – so there are individuals that are way more likely to have that fearful personality, and that anxiety because of the strong mental links they have to certain traumatic events in their lives

Hey Trudy,
I’m hitting all the right links and can’t seem to get registered. Maybe it just does not “clear” when you are registered. Thanks.

Hi,
I would like you to address why I frequently suffer anxiety and panic since suffering post-traumatic distress 20 years ago. I have had so much therapy, antidepressants make me weepy and hung over, and I ma in ongoing Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
I would apprecite your comments.
Kathleen
I am sorry to hear this. As you’re aware, addressing the biochemical and nutritional aspects are a big part of addressing PTSD too. I think you’ll find many answers by listening to speakers on this summit!
Also, feel free to checkout my past Anxiety summits for a wealth of information https://www.everywomanover29.com/blog/anxiety-summit-season-3-articles/

Good morning Trudy,
I have a couple of questions:
In Dr. Daniel Smith’s book “Amazing Amino Accids” he suggest takeing the Free form amino acid with 1,000 mg of vitamin C four times per day. Will this negate the other amino acids for such asD-phenylalanine, tryptophan, GABA and L-Glutamine?
I’m taking the L-Glutamine 1500 mg and the D-Phenylalanie, 1,000 mg three times per day. I do feel better duirng the day and I take the L-trptophan, 500 mg at night. I still have the craving for sugar and carbs. The cravings are not as bad around 5pm I start getting the cravings. Do you have any suggestions?
I look forward to hearing from you. ( J.T.)
