Gentle Support for a Stressed-Out Nervous System

by Evan Brand

Modern life is overstimulating. Between screens, deadlines, and constant noise, our nervous systems are running in overdrive. That takes a toll on sleep, mood, and overall resilience.

One of the most effective ways to restore calm and balance is by supporting key neurotransmitters like GABA and serotonin. These are your body’s natural tools for relaxation and emotional stability.


What the Research Shows

PharmaGABA® is a naturally fermented form of GABA produced using Lactobacillus hilgardii. Unlike synthetic GABA, PharmaGABA® has demonstrated real bioactivity in human studies, including:

  • EEG Changes: Increased alpha brain waves (linked to relaxed alertness) and decreased beta waves (associated with stress) within 30–60 minutes of ingestion.
  • Stress Biomarkers: Significant reductions in salivary cortisol and chromogranin A after oral GABA intake.
  • Sleep Quality: Shortened time to fall asleep and increased non-REM sleep after 100 mg GABA supplementation.

These findings suggest PharmaGABA® helps activate your parasympathetic nervous system, the “rest and digest” mode, without sedation or dependency.

  There’s a sentence a lot of women hear somewhere in their forties, and it lands harder than the person saying it probably realizes: “That’s just part of getting older.” The hot flashes. The 3 a.m. wake-ups. The word that won’t come. The weight that settled in without a single change to how you eat. The hair in the shower drain. Each one tends to get handled on its own, so the whole picture ra...
Deep dives, root-cause health, and exclusive insights from Evan Brand

I created this dedicated space so I can write longer-form articles, share unvarnished thoughts on functional medicine and root-cause health, and connect with you on a deeper level outside of standard social media algorithms.

"Fairly healthy" at 37... until the test results came back
Most people think they’re "fairly healthy" until we actually look under the hood. Take my colleague Nick Pineault, for example. At 37, he was doing everything "right." Low body fat, amateur athlete, eating organic, and taking high-quality supplements. Yeah, he had some brain fog, digestive issues, and stubborn acne—but in our modern world, we’ve been conditioned to think those are just "normal"...
