Summary
Over the past 20 years, we have seen an explosion in behavioral issues and mental illness in children. And the numbers are still increasing. Many of these children with mental illness end up being prescribed medication to cope with simple day-to-day demands. However, the medication only works for a very short time, and comes with a load of side effects that make it difficult for them to lead a normal life, and, furthermore, the medication rarely treats the root cause of the illness. This raises the question, What is the reason for many of the behavioral issues and mental illness in our children today? And, how can parents help their children overcome these issues?
This week, I speak with Dr. Nicole Beurkens. Dr. Nicole has a doctorate in clinical psychology, masters degrees in special education and nutrition and is a board-certified nutrition specialist. She's the founder and director of Horizons Developmental Resource Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and is a bestselling author, award-winning therapist and published researcher.
Dr. Nicole has made it her life’s purpose of helping children overcome psychological and behavioral issues by focusing on the root cause. Her approach to helping children recover from mental illness is unique and helps the whole family get better health, lower stress and better energy. Listen in, as Dr. Nicole shares the 4 simple lifestyle changes that can help fix behavioral issues and mental illness in children (and help parents manage stress and energy.)

| 0:00.0 | Hey there, this is Ari. Welcome back to the Energy Blueprint Podcast. Before we get into today's show, |
| 0:05.1 | I have an incredibly important announcement. This is something that I really haven't been more |
| 0:10.0 | excited to announce than all the way back in 2014 when I first started the Energy Blueprint. |
| 0:15.6 | After well over a year of development and testing, we are finally ready to officially launch our breakthrough |
| 0:23.7 | mitochondrial supplement to the world. This is a genuine game changer in the area of human |
| 0:29.5 | energy enhancement. And it's called Energenesis. This is actually the first no stimulant, no caffeine, |
| 0:36.2 | and no sugar energy formula that actually builds up |
| 0:40.4 | your own body's capacity to produce energy. Instead of working like caffeine and stimulants by giving |
| 0:46.4 | you a temporary boost of energy for a few hours, but ultimately making your energy levels |
| 0:50.9 | worse over time, energenesis actually builds up your own body's ability, |
| 0:56.0 | your cellular capacity to produce energy. Energenesis is for people looking for real answers |
| 1:02.1 | who want to address root causes, who want to build real energy. So hopefully you've been following |
| 1:07.8 | my work for a while now. And if so, you know that the real root of |
| 1:11.1 | most energy issues almost always comes back to the mitochondria. That's why mitochondria is such a central |
| 1:17.0 | fixture of so, so many of the podcasts that I've done on this show and so much of my own work as well |
| 1:24.3 | as far as the videos and the articles that I've put out into the world. Now, there's two really important layers to this story. I'm really simplifying a vast amount |
| 1:32.2 | of science here into something that's a fairly simple model, but trying to be succinct. The two |
| 1:37.1 | important layers of this, for most people, from the age of 20 to 40, their mitochondrial capacity, |
| 1:43.6 | the ability of their cells to produce energy, |
| 1:45.6 | decreases by about half. And then from 40 to 70, it decreases by another half. So, in other |
| 1:51.8 | words, from the ages of 20 to 70, the research shows that most people lose about 75% of their |
| 1:59.1 | mitochondrial capacity. So just that in and of itself is a massive problem. But there's |
