Our brain continuously creates compounds in response to external stimuli, which directly influences how we utilize nutrients\u2014whether wisely or unwisely. This process plays a crucial role in the creation of neurotransmitters, which are primarily composed of amino acids and other essential nutrients.<\/p>
In today\u2019s society, we are constantly exposed to screens\u2014phones, televisions, computers, and social media\u2014that simulate real-life experiences within our brain. The brain does not differentiate between actual experiences and those perceived through media; it reacts as if we are truly living them<\/strong>.<\/p> Our ribosomes, the cellular machinery responsible for protein synthesis, are repeatedly activated to produce neurotransmitters and hormones. However, excessive demand on these organelles can lead to an imbalance, overstressing the body\u2019s biochemical systems. Too much of anything is never good\u2014balance is key.<\/strong><\/p> Today’s high-glucose diets, paired with excessive screen exposure, create an environment where nutrients are constantly drained. We observe significant health issues arising between ages 35 and 45 as our body\u2019s nutrient reserves become depleted.<\/p> We need constant supply of at least the 9 essential amino acids, 2 or 3 fatty acids, Vit ADEK and if you are on a high glucose diet, then you absolutely need to take many Vit C. <\/strong> A diet where one eat plants as their last meal in the afternoon, will lead to high glucose into the blood at night, this is very dangerous!<\/p> Additionally, children who spend prolonged hours on screens are not receiving enough sunlight exposure<\/strong> for Vitamin D synthesis. Even when exposed to sunlight, physical inactivity prevents the liver and kidneys from properly activating Vitamin D. As a result, many children frequently experience colds, flu, and weakened immune function. Critical compound like magnesium is necessary for many function, but we as 2025 humans are taking these compound to make ‘reactive hormones and neurotransmitter’ because we choose to watch or listen or interact with media. <\/p> Consider the impact of media consumption on your own health. From news to social media and highly addictive short-form content, ask yourself: What is the benefit to my well-being?<\/strong><\/p> Take a step back and assess how your media interactive lifestyle is shaping your health. The signs are always there\u2014the handwriting is on the wall.<\/strong> It’s time to reclaim balance, prioritize mindful consumption, and protect our brain and body from the silent effects of overstimulation.<\/p> For more information on the Trio Protocol and Moses Rule: Please reach out to Moses on 423 1109.<\/p> Below is a structured table listing key hormones<\/strong> and neurotransmitters<\/strong>, along with their primary composition<\/strong> and functions<\/strong>:<\/p>The Media\u2019s Influence on Our Neurochemistry<\/strong><\/h4>
