Dr. Carrie Jones explains how GABA acts as the brain's calming brake, and how hormonal shifts like dropping progesterone can weaken it. L-theanine boosts GABA activity, which is why a combined supplement helps with stress and sleep.

I was reading this really interesting research article yesterday about a brain hormone called gaba. GABA is our main inhibitory neurotransmitter. It's very calming. It's the brake system to all the things in our brain. When you go through this transition or losing progesterone. And progesterone can play a big role in gaba means you're more susceptible to the bad effects of stress.
There's a great supplement. It's GABA with L Theanine that I find is like a game changer at night before I go to bed.
And L. Theanine is a stimulator for GABA as well.
