Product #1- Mood Elevator

My personal goal is to really educate my patients and anyone who wants to learn, so each week or 2 I am going to feature a different product that I use at the office.  Some of you may be familiar with a lot of the products, some of you may not.  If you ever have questions regarding any one of them always feel free to ask! 

Featured Product #1: Mood Elevator

Mood Elevator is a product by Nature Sunshine that simply does what it's name says... elevate/lift the mood.  It is a combination of 17 different herbs aimed at lifting the spirit and gives people a general sense of well being.  The great part is that it is in NO WAY addicting which I see a lot with depression and anxiety medications.  There is also NO withdrawal symptoms if you stop taking it.  That is the worst part of some of the medications out there... it can be so hard on patients when they are trying to wean off of them (on their own, I never tell people to come off medications and legally can't).  It has taken some people 6 to 8 months to finally feel normal again once they are off of their antidepressants or anti anxiety prescriptions, especially when they have been on them for 10+ years. 

Mood Elevator also works directly on the liver.  The liver is one of the organs that greatly influences our moods.  Without a happy, healthy, and properly functioning liver it is hard to feel good.  I don't discredit outside circumstances, however the liver (thyroid and others) have a lot to do with how you handle, cope and move forward from circumstances in your life.  Mood Elevator also works to help balance out the nervous system too!

From my experience this supplement usually works pretty quick- usually around a week to notice a difference.  Now everyone is different and it may take a month for some people while others may notice a difference in a of couple days.  Its been amazing to see some patients moods change who came in feeling down or just like they had no more to give.  Once on this their spirits lift even though their circumstances are the same.  It's been pretty awesome to watch.  It is also great  place to start for anyone who is told to go on antidepressants but is hesitant to. 

Obvious uses are for-  Sadness, depression, fatigue, insomnia, anxiety. 
Other uses- Bipolar, Postpartum depression, Seasonal Affective Disorder

Nature Sunshine makes a regular and TCM (aka concentrated version).  The codes are

• Regular- 1878-8
• TCM- 1035-7 (It is concentrated so you don't have to take as many.)

Mood Elevator is not something to solely rely on but instead help you feel better.  Therapy and counseling are always highly encouraged at my office.  Your physical and emotional well-being are so connected that you want to address both to truly get and feel better.  Visit The Refuge Center in Franklin (Christian based, sliding scale) or Laura Ramey, LMFT (Amazing therapist who understands wholeheartedly what MTCAM is about and the connection between physical and emotional healing!!).
