Mental Health Deserves More Than A Sugar Pill Prescription

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, 1 in 5 Americans face mental health challenges. Over half are still being given antidepressants that science says are no better than a sugar pill - and may do more harm than good.

Pause for just a moment, you are reading this for a reason. It's not just a coincidence, this is meant for you... or at the very least, someone you love or care about. One in five people are struggling with their mental health. The holistic world has come a long way in understanding mental and emotional wellness, but somehow the conventional path to mental health still leans to outdated solutions that land on a one-size-fits-all prescription pad. For decades, antidepressants like Zoloft, are too often being handed out as first-aid to bandaid the symptoms rather than exploring the deeper, more holistic healing of the whole person.
You may remember from my previous blog, “Transform Your Mental Health”, true transformation of your mental and emotional wellbeing takes root at the intentional love and care we are required to give ourselves. It’s about positive intentional change in finding the harmony to restore peace with the mind, body and spirit. This only begins when we take the necessary steps forward to align our bodies with what it is asking for - faith, exercise, sleep, sunlight, real food and targeted nutrition for your most immediate needs.
Does it all still sound just too overwhelming to begin? You’re not alone, I’ve been there, and so have so many I love. The thought of overhauling your exhausted mind, tending to your delicate emotions and restoring your body all at once can feel paralyzing. The truth is, when your cells are supported with clinically targeted nutrients, your brain feels fueled, your mind becomes clearer and the habits that once felt impossible - like rest, exercise, and mindfulness - become the possible.*
A Foundation of 90 Non-Negotiable Nutrients
It’s tempting to think mental health lives only in the brain, but caring for our mental well-being means caring for the whole temple. The nutrients we feed our cells are part of the divine design that deeply affects our mood, peace and emotional resilience.
Dr. Alfonzo Monzo, N.D. often speaks of the 90 essential nutrients (AzureWell’s Whole Food Multi-Vitamin, Fulvic/Humic Blend, and Alaskan Cod Liver Oil provide the essential vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids) are the complete nourishment to every cell in our body, including our brain, promoting how we think, feel, and function: 60 minerals, 16 vitamins, 12 amino acids, and 2 essential fatty acids. This is not a bonus, but these are the non-negotiable building blocks for optimal mental and physical health.
Target Your Mental Health with Science… not a sugar pill.
Mental health challenges show up differently for everyone. For some, it's a racing mind that is sprinting on a track with no finish line. For others, it's the desperate hope that the mind will quiet itself enough to bring some much needed sleep to your night of peace. No matter what label your challenge bears, your mental health deserves more than a prescribed sugar pill. You deserve care that is honored by science to deliver real support that actually works, on your whole self.
AzureWell's Racing Mind Relief is backed by science with nature's most calming herbs and nutrients formulated to gently recalibrate the overactive mind and restore a serene mood with emotional steadiness.* Leading the list of these clinically reviewed ingredients includes Affron®, the only saffron extract standardized to 3.5% Lepticrosalides. Published clinical studies prove Affron® is effective for alleviating occasional stress, maintaining a healthy mood, avoiding occasional sleeplessness, and supporting normal cognitive health and overall mental wellness.* A recent study proved Affron® also helps promote an overall positive mental health outcome by adolescents ages 12 and up.*
Your mind wasn't meant to run in overdrive, AzureWell’s Racing Mind Relief also features 100 mg of Suntheanine® from green tea, a clinically studied, patented form of L-theanine to gently invite a calm mental state without drowsiness.* Instead of masking the symptoms, this nature based amino acid helps harmonize your alpha brain waves, helping to quiet mental chaos supporting emotional clarity, better sleep quality, and a balanced stress response.* With decades of human trials and safety data including over 40 patents worldwide, Suntheanine is not just calming, it's proven.*

Achieve Your Mental Mastery
In my own circle of loved ones, myself included, I have watched how stress from the pressures of work or anxiety about money, and just emotional overwhelm from the daily grind can ripple through a life and the lives around them.
