Technical details of Endorphinate:

As you and I know, while healthy nutrition, exercise, and spiritual/meditative practices are wonderful for our emotional and physical well-being, neurophysiologic imbalances often require more targeted methods to restore healthy homeostatic functioning.

This product is scientifically formulated based on endorphin science. It is indeed paradoxical that we have determined that caffeine, in correct combination with other ingredients, literally reduces stress and anxiety, contrary to conventional wisdom. In fact, it is this unconventional methodology that has allowed the development of a patent for this product. Caffeine, without other balancing agents, often triggers excitatory opioid receptor signaling, which produces many of its well-known stress and anxiety inducing effects. By adding agents, such as NAC, Magnesium Sulfate, and L-Theanine, that switch this excitatory signaling to inhibitory signaling, the product boosts endorphins while insuring that they trigger inhibitory signaling, which promotes calm, comfort, and well-being.

One in every 110 children, or 1 percent, of the population of U.S. children ages 3-17 have been diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder.*

Sixty % of the $60 billion annual cost is for services to ASD adults. In 10 years, the annual cost is projected to be $200-400 billion.  We clearly have an enormous emerging social burden.

The good news, however, is that the cost of lifelong care can be reduced by two thirds with early diagnosis and intervention.  And this is where nutrition becomes a powerful tool.

The Autism Research Institute has been collecting data from parents since 1967   about the efficacy of various interventions for their ASD kids.  A survey of 27,000 families (published in 2009) revealed the following improvement in childrens’ symptoms:

Gluten free, casein free diets yielded the most significant improvement in symptoms; 69% of the kids improved.  For chelation, a form of detoxification, it was 74%,   B12 shots improved 72%, melatonin 66%.  These are all higher rates of improvement than any of the long list of medications that were evaluated in the survey.

The biggest challenge of parents of ASD kids is how to help their children effectively, painlessly and with minimal disruption to the family.  There are a myriad recommendations that are overwhelming and confusing.  So where is a harried parent to start?  That is where BeWell Associates comes in. 

We offer practical, structured guidance founded on scientific evidence.  We do this through creating a nutrition and supplement program based on our experience and on a comprehensive test that we have used successfully over the years for hundreds of our clients.

The TRIAD test evaluates physical markers through urine (one vial) and blood (two vials). The information supplied by this test is then applied to the child’s daily life through an easy-to-follow program.

We are very excited about the comprehensiveness of this test and the wonderful benefits it has yielded to every single one of our clients. These are some highlights of the information provided by the test:

• How effectively the children metabolize fats and carbohydrates
•  How they produce energy (Krebs cycle)
•  Their B complex status, with special focus on B12 and folic acid,
• Brain chemistry- is there irritation to the brain? over or under production of crucial neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, etc?
•  Oxidative stress levels, in other words, how much anti-oxidant protection do they need?
• Liver detoxification capacity
•  Environmental toxic overload
•  Environmental allergies/sensitivities
• Hidden infections, bacterial/fungal
• Undiagnosed food allergies- (90 IgG foods)
• Assessment ofAmino Acids (22)

From this information we compile an individualized program that produces results  quickly and effectively.   BeWell  Associates can provide the tools, guidance, and experience to help your child be their best.

Please give us a call today to find out if we can help you and your family.  We offer a free 15-minute consultation to determine whether we are a good fit for each other.  Call 814-234-0785 or email me at monica@bewellassociates.com.
