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.

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"...
61 minutes that will give you hope about toxins (new documentary)
I’ve spent hundreds of episodes diving deep into the science of functional medicine and uncovering the hidden truths about why we’re all so sick. Usually, the conversation around environmental toxins is enough to make anyone want to go live in a cave. We hear about glyphosate, PFAS, mold, EMFs, and 5G...it’s a lot of scary acronyms and not enough answers. But honestly? I’m bored of the "doom an...
