I’ve asked Laurie Hammer to talk about these “nutrients” specifically as a form of therapy.
Laurie is a Functional Nutritional Therapist and Neuro-Nutrient Specialist who has a passion for helping clients with brain toxicity, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and related auto-immune conditions.
