2018 FEF Update Sets More New Standards in Mind-Gut-Brain Health In this 2018 update, we continue to refine the Functional Emotional Fitness(tm) (FEF) process which includes cracking the gut health code. We establish a final protocol that enables repair, and regeneration of the gut microbiota, stem cells endocannabinoid system and mucosa. The significance of this cannot be overstated because the gut is lined with over 500 million neurons (brain cells) and has bidirectional communication with the brain via the vagus nerve. Functional Emotional Fitness(tm): A Measurable Mental Health Standard In the future, mental health will address the root of each issue and measure emotional and gut health outcomes at every session. This will virtually eliminate the need for meds, labels or personal history. FEF(tm) represents this future now. FEF(tm) incorporates tools that enable you to interrupt, restructure and reprogram any thought, emotion, and behavior which simply does not work. Get Control with Functional Emotional Fitness(tm) Regardless of whether you suffer from depression, anxiety (PTSD) stress, addiction, substance abuse, bipolar disorder, ADHD, an eating disorder or simply want to be successful with a fitness and weight loss program, you must have the tools that will enable you to take control of how you feel every day.
