Private Investigators often deal with people when they are at a time of transition. Maybe they've been left by their spouse with their bank account cleaned out.

Eating the wrong kind of foods can deplete the amount of serotonin produced in your gut. Eating the right kind of foods can help your body produce more serotonin and therefore help make you feel better.

Brandon also talked about cognitive behavioral therapy which is reverse engineering bad habits. Brandon walked through an example of how cognitive behavioral therapy could help in a situation where someone ate poorly on Wednesday and decided they had already blown it that week and would start over again on Monday.

The Sleuth's also asked Brandon if in his experience a dramatic change in body weight or body transformation causes stress in the relationships of his clients. Brandon believes it does and it's best to try to go through dramatic changes together.
