Stress and Sleep: Brain & Neurotransmitter Reserve
No, we aren't paying enough attention the specific neurotransmitter imbalances discoverable with stress and sleep – and the good news is: it's all measurable and fixable.
Tune in this Thursday at 4PM/EDT, 1PM/PDT for an uncomplicated Program Review of the new neurotransmitter precursor measurements for stress and sleep. This program won't be as heavy as the last two wherein I simply tried to cover too much ground all at once. Those busy introductions will work well however with these easy PDF handouts over at the CorePsych Radio page. Download there the two excellent PDF handouts for the program from NeuroScience on Sleep and Stress.
Wonder how stress and sleep are related: Simply stated – they can both reduce your neurotransmitter reserve.
Don't worry, I won't be dealing with the details of this deep mitochondrial paper, but will be discussing neurotransmitter relationship challenges with sleep and stress in the program. It is interesting how those mitochondria [energy factories in the cells] get around! And we can see results in the office…
Check these cellular happenings at the synaptic level with mitochondria travel and support:
Mitochondria are part of that flow, but unlike most axonal organelles, mitochondria move bidirectionally, through the use of several motor proteins, giving rise to a more complex pattern of axonal transport that can specifically position and reposition them along the axon (Hollenbeck, 1996). But, although important features of their transport remain to be worked out, their means of arrival at the synapse is no mystery [!].
Once large numbers of mitochondria arrive in the presynaptic region, what essential functions do they carry out? A large body of data from various vertebrate and invertebrate systems has shown that mitochondria—and their Ca,2+ uptake and release in particular— are necessary for the events of neurotransmission.

Could it be that a stressful event would destroy ones mitochondria? I do remember using the MitoMind kit prior to becoming well again last year, and would consider cycling it again, if it’s worth doing, which the timeline of events woul suggest.
Josh, MitoMind is a serious helper, I use it everyday, but just one packet. For those with serious problems we recommend sticking with the 2 full packets/day, maintenance only one. Get this term: helpful for “mitochondrial biogenesis.” Ask Desiree to send you a pamphlet we have on it.
Count me in. I had already placed an order for the kit but was still on the fence. I like the idea of only 1x packet a day, hopefully I will receive it this week as it is apparently on back order.
I will return with a follow up on its effectiveness in the future.
Very cool on both of these notes. Exceedingly interesting how oiling the gears just smooths out that metabolic challenge. Pure speculation on my part – but firming up mitochondrial activity likely took some of the heat/stress off of your adrenals [the likely sweating origin ].
I have certainly noticed a significant difference, most notably in body temperature regulation. I would advise the users of this product (or prospective ones) to research what mitochondria is, and what to expect from this product.
The stressful situation from early last year made my body temp spiral out of control, as well as my insulin sensitivity and glucose management. Those issues have dramatically improved after roughly two weeks, using 2x packets per day.
After I complete this box, I will be buying another for a 1x daily maintenance dose. I only wish I had thought about re cycling this product again sooner! It is great to not be sweating every minute of every day like I was, I can drink caffeine now without breaking out in a hot flash – you sure don’t know what you got until it is gone!
