episode of The Ultimate Human, we’re going to discuss the
intriguing relationship between depression and neurotransmitters.
Discover how the brain creates emotional states through a specific
combination of neurotransmitters, and how an imbalance in these
crucial chemicals can affect our moods. Listen in as we unravel the
complexities of depression, from its definition as an inadequate
supply of serotonin to the limitations of SSRIs in effectively
treating this mental health condition. We’ll also uncover how
certain nutrient deficiencies and overall gut health can impair our
body's ability to synthesize serotonin, leading to anxiety and
depression. We discuss the importance of supplementing with
methylated nutrients and how genetic testing can help identify
these deficiencies.   Statistics from Johns Hopkins:
