You’ll have time to increase and monitor symptoms, course correct and even experiment with different forms of GABA and possibly a number of products if necessary.
During this period your knowledge is solidifying and your confidence is growing. And you have chances to ask your questions each week (for you and/or a family member).
Throughout each module, you will discover gems of information on mechanisms, research and many case studies to further enhance your learning. These sections are not necessary for the successful use of GABA but will hopefully add to your experience and understanding.

GABA success stories from past GABA Quickstart program participants
My son who is 19 and on the autism spectrum was having issues with outbursts of anger and stuttering. These issues seemed to worsen during his senior year of high school. Since starting GABA and tailoring his dosage from Trudy’s instruction and feedback in the program, we have seen a 90% reduction in stuttering and 80% reduction in anger and outbursts. We have done many supplemental protocols over the years and this is one of the few we have seen have an impact.
GABA helped me a great deal. I am so thankful the thoughts that would just play like a record in my head went away and because of that release, I feel more at peace and relaxed. I am so grateful for Trudy’s insight and knowledge.
The Q&A, your book, purchasing the QuickStart program. It has all made such a great difference. You have had these symptoms for such a long time. You believe that it is normal and it is just who you are. Like there is nothing that can actually help those symptoms go away. But that mentality is wrong.
Amino acids such as GABA can help and they do make changes in our lives. We have a more enjoyable life when these symptoms get resolved. The beauty is how quickly you get a response. This is one of the most profound and quickest results and changes made in my life than ever before.
I would have never known how different life can be without understanding how to use amino acids. It is hard to find someone who trains people what aminos are good for and how to use them.
What has been the best about this program: is Trudy’s availability to invest in our lives and what is going on right now. To get a response for our own personal issues. When you hear another person’s experience and you see how it matches your own and you are able to implement and explore options to see what works best for us. Then life improves and we pass this on to our loved ones and help them improve their quality of life as well.
Thank you so much!
I’m so pleased I did this program – I saw 2 benefits. For the feeling of anxiety I take GABA powder 3x a day – it helped the anxious feeling right away (from 5 or 6/10 to 1 or 2/10).
Trudy also helped me with my question about the safety of using GABA while I had vestibular/sensory integration issues that were being addressed through physio exercises. I’ve often felt off balance walking, or driving on expressways out in the world post pandemic (this made me feel anxious) so saw MD and was assessed by vestibular specialist who said my sense of where my senses are – of where my body is and eyes and inner ear – are not integrating as they should. Was given exercises to do and I wanted to make sure GABA wouldn’t interfere with the “rewiring of the brain” – working with the plasticity of the brain.
Trudy shared research and case studies that I could take to my medical team, and gave me confidence in continuing to use GABA – which very likely also helped with my vestibular issues since GABA has many benefits for balance and sensorimotor skills
Before starting the program I had been using Gaba Calm with some success. I usually fall asleep pretty easily but if not I sometimes took GABA Calm before bed but more often when I woke up around 3 or 4 AM and couldn’t get back to sleep.
Working with Trudy in the program and adjusting doses and GABA product combinations (using GABA-T-SAP and then GABA 500mg, both opened onto my tongue), I’m glad to say I now sleep frequently 8 or so hours which has never happened before.
Using Gaba Mind 1 or 2x during the day, I have seen more ease in handling certain situations.
Testimonials from other individuals in the wider community who have had success with GABA
I’m glad I bought GABA and started using it before travelling home for Christmas – I was cool as a cucumber at the airport and was much calmer when visiting family and friends compared to last year! I notice a general calmness and am sleeping well.
An unexpected result was that I stopped craving sweets after about a week of taking it! I didn’t even realize this until I was grocery shopping and out of habit walked towards the ice cream – I stopped and realized I didn’t want ice cream. So I walked toward the chocolate – same reaction. For once in my life, I was not craving sweets. I made truffles for a NYE party and only ate two. But what is really shocking is that the leftovers are still in my refrigerator two days later and I haven’t touched them.
GABA changed my life in minutes! Take it every day now. No more hopelessness!
Got some GABA for our ASD [autism spectrum disorder] child. He has not slept well for years. We had tried all kinds of stuff. I am a healthcare pro and have studied and read and tried so much. But this stuff is a true miracle. For the first time in years my child sleeps. He sang and was all smiles from ear to ear for the first three days.
He has also really noticed a difference in his carb cravings since doing GABA. He went to grandma’s and was not tempted by 6 pies, tons of cookies, sweet rolls etc. We were both shocked. This is a kid who would mow through tons of cookies, rolls and pastries.
I usually only take GABA at night when I know I need it, to quiet my mind and relax my body so I can sleep better.
I take GABA for about a week and then take time off until I feel I need it again or I feel I have too much. I know if I take too much, I get spacey, unmotivated, depressed even. Helps a ton with head/neck tension and anxiety.
I have taken Xanax in the past for panic attacks. My functional medicine doctor suggested GABA Calm as I wanted a natural product. I was amazed how it works just like the Xanax did – instant calm feeling within 10 mins of taking 2 capsules. I use them as needed when I am having heightened stress and anxiety.
GABA helps lower my overall anxious feeling all day (anxiety for no reason). I just started increasing the dose slightly and am beginning to take it a few times a day to help with social anxiety. I have a lifelong problem of severe blushing and sweating from social anxiety and need that to stop.
Lyme anxiety is real! We’ve used GABA Calm sublinguals with good results. I learned about GABA helping anxiety and because I was treating my young daughter I purchased this because it was easy for her to take.
Lyme, Bartonella and Babesia are all known to cause anxiety and other psychological disorders ranging from mild to very severe. My daughter had it very severely but thankfully is much better now that we’ve treated the tick-borne diseases.
I’ve had diarrheal IBS for decades, recently diagnosed SIBO. Missed a lot of work with pain spasms and diarrhea almost every work morning. I had a phenomenal experience with my first dose of GABA at bedtime and like a miracle I’m pain-free in the morning.
It’s a huge huge improvement! (unless there’s a major stressor in my life like when my mom recently passed away).
I also take GABA at work if I anticipate a stressful situation. I love that I am still sharp mentally on this.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if this program would be a good fit for me?
While no results can be guaranteed, we have seen thousands of students and clients experience life-changing results when using a GABA supplement properly – for their unique needs, using the optimal dose and used in a way that allows the best absorption (all covered in the program).
However, GABA only works when GABA levels are low and the first place we start is the “The signs of low GABA levels” (see this list above). If these signs resonate with you we’d love to have you join us to learn how to do a trial of GABA and optimize the amount used.
By the end of the program you’ll know if low GABA is in fact an issue for you and ideally have a solution that results in feeling calm and stress-free. If not, you’ll have clues as to what to consider next.
How long is the course, when does it start and when are the Q&A sessions?
The program is 6 weeks long, with 5 in-depth content modules and 5 live Q & A calls with Trudy (offered a few days after each module and will be recorded). We take a break for the US Thanksgiving holiday in late Nov.
Program starts: November 1, 2024 PST with the remaining modules released weekly
First Q&A call: November 6, 2024 at 4:00pm PST
Remaining Q&A calls: November 13 & 20, December 4 & 11 at 4::00pm PST
If you can’t attend a live Q & A, you can submit questions ahead of time and replays will be available in the membership area.
How much time will it take to complete the program?
You can go at your own pace and Trudy has specifically designed the program to be taken 1 week at a time, so that you can do the course work and attend the Q&A call for that week’s module. Allow for about 3 hours a week for reviewing the content, attending the Q&A calls, and tracking your GABA use.
There is a catch up week over the US Thanksgiving weekend so you’ll have that extra time too.
What if I can't make it to the live Q&A sessions/are they recorded?
Not a problem, you can submit your questions prior to each Q&A call and Trudy will address them in the live Q&A. They are all recorded and will be uploaded to the membership area afterwards.
How long do I have access to the program?
You have lifetime access to the program training materials and the recorded Q&A calls for as long as GABA Quickstart 2.0 continues to be run (guaranteed access for at least two years after enrollment).
Is individualized support provided?
This program is intended as education only and is not designed to provide individualized one-to-one support. During the Q&A calls you can, however, ask your content-related questions and other general questions related to the use of GABA (either in person or submitted in advance).
Can I do the program if I am prescribed psychiatric medication/s?
This program is not intended for someone who is prescribed psychiatric medication/s.
When on psychiatric medication/s all supplementation must be discussed, approved and monitored by the prescribing doctor.
It may be worth considering doing the program so you can leave with information to discuss with your prescribing doctor.
What if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
GABA has not been researched for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. However, the program will provide education for when you are no longer pregnant or breastfeeding.
Will the program help me to use GABA with my kids?
Yes this will be covered in “Module #4: Using GABA with family members”
What is the refund policy?
We really want you to get the most value from this program so if you decide it’s not a good fit for you, we will honor a full refund within 7 days of the start of the program, less processing fees. We’d appreciate a reason for your refund request so we can make improvements in the future.
Do I have to purchase supplements for the program?
The goal of the program is to learn how to effectively and safely use the amino acid supplement GABA. It’s designed to give you 6 weeks to purchase GABA product/s and trial one or more – so ideally you decide to purchase GABA. Details about supplements will be provided in “Module #1: Intro and GABA supplement guidelines” and throughout the program.
You do also have the option to use this program as purely educational and not purchase any supplements.
I’ve already done the GABA Quickstart program. How does the GABA Quickstart 2.0 program compare and is it worth doing again?
As you can see there is more in-depth content in the GABA Quickstart 2.0 program. There are also 5 Live Q&A calls over the 6 week period. It may be worth doing again if you still have questions, want to build on what you have already learned or possibly want to now help a family member. It’s also perfect motivation if you purchased the GABA QuickStart and didn’t get to trial GABA and see results you were hoping for.
