Wish we all didn’t have to censor ourselves so much now. I want the rated R version! A lot of us are just a smart and knowledgeable, or more so, as doctors and we should have the right to have ALL information available. As soon as I went into menopause my whole body changed!! Now I have chronic pain and sleep issues. Not one doctor, not one, explained anything about menopause to me!! I all of a sudden started having cognitive issues ( not remembering things and brain fog) gut issues and stress!! No one related any of my symptoms to my hormones!! 5 years post menopausal and I’m thinking WTF….This is CRAZY man..!! What are these doctors doing?? Seriously! And I’ve watched my mom decline to basically being bed ridden and weak. Not one doctor, not even one, told me about osteoporosis, osteopenia, and how I need to make sure I build muscle especially BEFORE and during menopause!! I’ve learned everything I know from UA-cam and books and searching for research papers. The whole medical industry has failed us! And it’s videos like these that are saving us!! Literally. And I always read the comments so we can communicate with each other.
Yes, totally agree with you, let’s never stop communicating, even if we don’t agree on everything, but we still respect each other opinions, and approach each other with love and understanding, yes, menopause is really really really bad. Hit me really hard and I have the same symptoms as you.
That should be your life now; relying on yourself and people like these two researches to get info. The doctors, even if they’re good, are beleaguered with too many patients. A lot of them are at best mediocre. You should never hand your health and well being over to someone who doesn’t have to walk in your shoes- no matter how many degrees and certifications behind their name. You walk it; you talk it!

binging on greens like kale or collards can block absorption of iodine. Mine was borderline low. I was using my pressure cooker to cook large amounts of kale. I stopped eating it, got tested a month later and everything was normal. This happened twice. Finally I started eating it normally.
Iodine is one one of the many nutrients that most Americans are deficient in, especially the very unhealthy non-vegans. Raising iodine to proper levels for iodine deficient people raises IQ (it won't raise it if you're not deficient). Speaking of IQ, European-Jewish people have the highest IQ rate of any culture. I'm Jewish like Einstein and about 25% of the science award receivers, Oppenheimer, Carl Sagan, Eminem's best friend/music manager, Taylor Swift's music producer and one of her bodyguards, the founder of the Ghostbusters theme song, the founders of most comics and the latest Punisher, Bobby Fischer and over 50% of the best chess players, Lawrence Krauss, Bruce Lipton, Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter actor), Drake, Madonna, The Beastie Boys, the biker chick in the Fast and Furious series and who plays the latest Wonder Woman, Steven Spielberg, Mel Brooks, Stanley Kubrick, Seth Rogan, Sam Harris, Sam Altman (ChatGPT founder), the founders of Microsoft, the makers of most of the iPhone parts, etc. Israel is the second largest tech capital of the world, and has the most tech startups per capita of the world. A lot of tech used today is from Israel. Israel has many of the best hackers, and the most powerful hacking tool that the NSA and the FBI love, Pegasus, was founded in Israel. Shalom.
:3 Can GABA supplements cross the blood-brain barrier? Studies done in '80, '81, '82 and '02 found that GABA did cross the blood-brain barrier, just in minuscule amounts.Oct 11, 2018 Gaba Supplements: Glorious, Gimmicky or Just Garbage? | Office for Science and Society McGill University
It also results in a lower IQ, iodine deficiency. Speaking of IQ, European-Jewish people have the highest IQ rate of any culture. I'm 50% Euro-Jewish. Hehe. So many famous people, especially entertainers, humanitarian aid (Jewish people do the most humanitarian aid worldwide, and Jewish people donate the most in America despite not being the wealthiest culture in America), scientists, and people in tech are Jewish, and many have helped humanity immensely. Shalom. Fighting jealous gaslighters and debunked conspiracy theorists.
Having a dog for a companion increases dopamine in both the human and the dog as result of petting and in general, a beautiful relationship. In fact, one trainer I've heard says that when a dog demands petting all the time, it means it is a dopamine addict.
True. I recently rescued a senior dog with mental and physical problems from the shelter. She's made a complete transformation within 2 months. If it weren't for her, I'd likely be deceased. She gets me out walking ... She gets me to take my heart meds and insulin (I'm an underweight Type 1) because I don't want to die on her and leave her stranded.

@@KatarinaS.You can get it from a compounding pharmacy. 100 mg or 200 mg capsules depending on the results of a blood test ordered by your doctor. You'll need your doctor to prescribe it. Most likely you'll need to go to a naturopath or DO to order the tests and get a prescription. Take one capsule per day an hour before bed. 😉
@@sarahscott9601 I take Prometrium every night 200 mgs (2 pills) sometimes I need to add a blob of P cream daytime as well. I've been on it almost my whole life, even when I was pregnant, and I am 63 now, so its perfectly fine.
Hey it's pottenger's human! Love your vids man! I listen to them daily during my post meal walks.

Very glad to hear that! I think with taurine it sort of creeps up and then you realize you are doing better suddenly, at least that's how it was with me. @@Duskmelt
This was an excellent video! Understanding GABA's role took me ages. I only finally 'got it' a few weeks ago. The simplest way to describe it is: "like the switch in overall 'readiness' between the parasympathetic and sympathetic systems."
@@dr.scottsherr2517 Why don't you just recommend alternate nostril breathing? This balances the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous System without all the Pills and Potions
Weighted blankets really relax. can feel a peaceful current running upward almost immediately. I don't have bad dreams sleeping under a weighted blanket. I'm certain it stimulates parasympathetic nervous system.I use a 12lb in my bed at night and a 15 pound for relaxation pauses during the day on my couch.
Stress leads to GABA depletion. As alcohol and benzos work on the GABA receptors in the brain, it’s no surprise that alcoholism and addiction are so common in those with chronically stressful lives.
@@stefanallard3084 at present I take 750mg morning at night. I get it over the counter at Walmart. I started taking it at night until I was used to it and then tried adding a morning dose on a weekend when I didn’t have to go anywhere. I increased to twice a day when I felt like I needed a bit more than the nightly dose. According to this video, if I remember right, I have a leaky gut which is why it may work for me. Maybe so, maybe not, I don’t know. I just know it helps.
@@beverlyallison4768 he did. But he also said something about leaky gut which may or may not be an issue for me. Idk. All I can tell you is my experience with taking GABA has been positive. I keep taking it.
I'm a regular meditator, 4 months now. I have gotten so many benefits from this. I was able to go down 10 mg. in my antidepressant. Because of the meditation, I am able to handle the withdrawals. Now to find out how to stop hot flashes, and I'm golden.
Hello dear, you can stop the hot flashes safely with natural Progesterone cream. If you menstruating you start on the 8th day of your menstrual cycle ( counting from the first day of bleeding) and stopping 24 to 48 hours prior to the expected date of your next period. Apply no less than 50mg Natural Progesterone Cream on areas where it would be absorbed best ( inside of elbows, behind kneecap, side of your neck on the route of the artery). Keep on mind that majority of Progesterone creams are 2% with means with 3 pumps you will get 60mg. If you have issues with sleep best Apply in the evening. If you're not menstruating Apply daily except 1 day of the month off. Good luck!
Very kind of you to write this. I'm 60. Way beyond periods. I did take progesterone for about 6 years. I took 200 mg in the evening. Then I had a compound that I would spread on my arm every day. After 6 years, my hair started to fall out, so I stopped the hormones altogether. My hair stopped falling out for the most part. But I just decided not to go back. Marijuana is very helpful with the hot flashes. Why? I have no idea, and I haven't researched this yet. But the difference is so big, I just use pot to stop it. It's way cheaper than hormones.@@aneliadraganova3504
Your hot flushes could also be caused by your antidepressant. I would not add extra hormones as the other comment suggests. It will have an effect on your whole body. Something you probably should discuss with a herbalist or a holistic doctor :)
@@michellecox5543 the hormone comment is definitely a valid option and probably the most common one (I'd guess). It just depends if that's what you want to do or if you want to try other options first :) it depends on what medication you're taking, how much, if you can switch or if that causes too much trouble etc. I wish you good luck and health as well as strength advocating for yourself on your journey 🤗
As far as Kava goes, if you have low blood pressure like me, I would not suggest taking it. It made me feel awful. If you have high blood pressure, it might work very well for you
Interesting aside about MSG ! I had the worst head pressure and headache after consuming it! This interview is deep and very informative!!!! Thank you!!
This is great, thanks. I used to use GABA a lot but it has become very difficult to get in the UK - no laws or anything, no discussion but they're restricting all kinds of substances that are really useful to us. For a few years now have been using powdered l-theanine under the tongue and it is just magic. A small amount enables me to concentrate on work for longer, a larger dose helps me to calm down and sleep better at night. Highly recommend it. Edit: I wonder whether GABA taken directly DOES help not just if you have a leaky gut but because, perhaps, the gut has GABA receptors just as it has serotonin receptors?
What substances are they restricting for us? I'm from the UK, and I've been buying supplements for 16 years. Never had any issues whatsoever. I can buy whatever I like. I could, hypothetically, even buy illegal substances and have it delivered to my door, if I chose to risk that. This is 2023, not 1995.
If theanine relaxes you the chances are you are high histamine and your body is not neutralising it. Theanine is an untihistamine which acts on the brain. This it helps people sleep, because histamine is stimulating and helps us do things during the day.
Learning about GABA changed my life! @60 years of age. A friend/mentor was looking for a natural way to sleep. When reading about it, she contacted me, because I had told her I always “thought” differently. And that things were bouncing around in my head so fast that I couldn’t grab the thought. She suggested I try it in the morning on a weekend. GABA CHANGED MY LIFE!! I can think without having to work at it. And my wife can tell before me if I don’t supplement in the morning. Based upon my history, I don’t think I ever produced GABA naturally. With supplemental GABA in the morning, I no longer have to “read” other people to know how to act or react. And I have met many people in the last 10 years who have found GABA useful in the same way.
@@Behappy62 Available online or in vitamin shops. The presenter does recommend one with some other supplements. Mine has some magnesium and biotin. Different brands have always worked for me when taken with a good multivitamin.
@@dragosmagdau7209 yes, they have for me. They are different strengths. For my brain connections, 250-500. And to check it out for my thought clearing, I did check on a morning I didn’t need to work to be sure it didn’t make me sleepy instead of clear headed. It also has B6 at 6mg.
Thats why people like to drink as it interacts with Gaba giving you that relaxed feeling but its a double edged sword as you could get addicted to it and end up becoming an alcoholic if you are predisposed to the condition ,
My favorite way to ingest herbs is by microdosing. I feel as though I get the benefits without possible negative side effects. I've had a valerian root/alcohol tincture I've been soaking for 3 years. Its soooooo strong, I'm going to dilute it and ingest some at night before bed.
Thanks for this one. So potent and usefully organized. And also, that painting at the end of the table, amazing. Even from this layered distance, it calls for a good long stare.
I've been on the kava/valerian combo for my extreme anxiety on work days. I also have ADHD. I've always relied on my herbal knowledge to treat my mental health concerns. I also use 5 Htp and melatonin. You touched on my whole regime.
How has kava and Valerian helped in your ability to focus? Is it immediate or builds over time? We are searching for a solution and just need to know all the different things to try ASAP.
Ok. I felt like there was something that was purposely excluded...that I should somehow already know for the purposes of avoiding legal problems. What? So where can I find out the "secret"?
My nervous system is a little over activated listening to this brilliant doctor, so I'm stopping for a nice long parasympathetic exhale and meditation!
This is a great demonstration of how correct supplementation can give you such high energy, focus and clarity. Keep drinking your Monster, Prime or other shit and prepare for a life of antidepressant medication, kids. Or, set yourself free and take this on board. It's science, but it ain't rocket science 😅
32:00 Threading the needle of dopamine and glutamine depletion (as well as his patent compounding chew products) are likely the most direct stress and relaxed control advice possible.
I really enjoyed this interview! I notice that if I only get 3 hours of sleep, my energy levels drop drastically. I need 6 hours minimum to get through the demands of the day.

Would this glycine and nac work for someone who has severe brain fog and memory and cognitive deciline? I actually thought/think I have severe ad onset. This video has explained exactly how stress can cause turmoil in our brains and body and it starts with digestion problems. Only 5y ago I was sharp as a button, but then sadly found out my wife was terminally illl, 4y later she died in my arms, which has of course caused me so much stress, she was my soulmate and we were together since kids. 20y ago I was a specialist builder and could do so much, I was an out the box thinker and people employed me as a troubleshooter. In the 80s I iQ tested in the 94% range, which is rather strange as I missed much of my schooling between agees of 11-16y🤔 ❤

Also, research the works of Dr Dale Bredesen and Dr Dan Amen around cognitive health and early interventions. Wishing you peace and good health. 🙏 ❤️
it's taken me 20 years to discover this. I've worked on serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine. Gaba has been a game changer. Where the hell are the psychiatrists getting their training?

I'm glad you have 12-30 min talks as I can't listen to the 1-2 hour interviews . Lover your 12 main habits . I wonder if you have spoken about the benefits of " grounding" and having your feet connect to the earth especially in the morning..personally I've been wondering about a little 3 foot square play box of that pure play sand as real sand feels wonderful to stand in...I wonder if it would help to do that inside the house . Thanks so much for your brilliant explanations .
Wait, so... if your gut health is perfect, your blood-brain barrier works properly... but if you have leaky gut, your blood-brain barrier is vulnerable in some way? This is the first I've EVER heard of this connection (admittedly, I don't do much learning or research related to blood-brain barrier at all)... this seems like something I should have heard about like a MILLION TIMES by now... seems like it would be so, so very important to mental health and emotional/mental overall stability!!! 🧠🧠
Leaky gut just means an increase in toxins, including those pesky neurotoxins, getting into your blood - some of which even get across the blood-brain barrier. Not sure to what extent they damage it, probably somewhat.
You said that glutamine will fix a leaky gut in one month for à 30 yrs old. What about if you re 60 ? Will glutamine fix it even though it takes longer ?
I have suffered from complex ptsd for over 20 years if it is as easy as you are suggesting why the hell am I still living in hell?

Such a great conversation! Now I know why my GABA powder did nothing to me (apart from troubles breathing). It's interesting to know that it's glutamate/GABA system that rules our parasympathetic and sympathetic systems, I always thought it was dopamin and serotonin. Great to learn something new! For my speedy brain 5-HTP+ashwagandha works great, but the biggest change for the better was when I reduced to half my phone screen time (especially in PM). And I think to do things outdoors is important, sport hobbies +get the vitD from the sunlight. In short, live more like before smartphones were invented.

@@TheMeatballsub666 benzos are especially dangerous to detox off of. I remember xanaxs being the worst withdrawals I ever experienced. I really wouldn't know what to recommend. I am not s doctor. If you can't get to detox, maybe try some natural stuff to help you with stress, anxiety, and sleeping. The good news is that once you get through a couple rough days, you just have to focus on not using them again and building life style practices where using them is impractical.

Absolutely Love is the fix! I studied under an evangelical teacher who spoke exclusively on love, this couple came from the world all of man must navigate. Despite a miserable marriage I believed love would heal us and spent years longer than my good common sense made for. i.e. looking back i wonder why I didn’t at the least save the 4 kids from the fire burning if not myself! PTSD followed in all 6 of us since then so that I came to believe that I came into the world too early with this love frequency now all over the internet! I’ve been speaking to Visualization and the love frequency forever, well for all of my 63 years! Still really glad I’m still here to witness and experience this amazing quantum shift! So very glad to see Love wins!
Oxytocin is not a neuro transmitter, but a molecule. The most important for human love, trust and bonding. Im sure there will be many comments about this.
Years ago I remember my mom taking a product called immunotec or immunocal. It had something like Glutathione precursor, whey protein and NAC. It was meant to strengthen immune system and antibodies. Reading comments, it’s mentioned to take glynac with gaba. I wonder if all these have the same effect?
Glynac is glycine bound to NAC. Both glycine and GABA are inhibitory neurotransmitters (allow your neurons to relax). You can get glycine also from a form of magnesium (Magnesium Glycinate) which is about 90% glycine to 10% magnesium ratio.
I’ve always known I was super sensitive to MSG.. yet there were all those articles saying it was fine and the worries were blown out of proportion.. yet every time I accidentally ate it I’d get dehydrated and wouldn’t be able to sleep, sometimes it would make my kidneys ache! I’d be able to tell without knowing what had gone into a meal, whether it had MSG in based just on my body’s response. So it wasn’t psychosomatic. Finally this video has explained the mechanism, makes perfect sense. I’m sensitive to nervous system strain so an effect on GABA is obvious. Thanks for the info. Nice to know I wasn’t imagining things 👍 Best part of UA-cam is stuff like this. So helpful.
These products contain polyethylene glycol. Do your research before you buy. Just because it’s developed by a doctor doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have ingredients in it that can be dangerous.
According to Stephenie Seneff glyphosate minmices glycine, glycine is a amino acid needed by the body we cant use glphosate a poison. As well as other glyphosate mimics other AA ....
I can't take a lot of adaptogens because I have hashimotos. I take 5 or 10 grams of l glutamine and it's worked wonders. Ive tried valerian, skullcap, passionflower, you name it. Nothing worked like glutamine...at least for me. Everyone is different. Just a personal observation 😊
I was about to argue the point of GABA supplements working because they do, as he said, if you have leaky brain, which I believe many do. If you want to test this, do the GABA challenge. Take about 3 grams of GABA on a relatively empty stomach. If you have a leaky brain, you will soon find out. For me, it happened in about 20 minutes. When GABA crosses the blood brain barrier, it resets your neurosystem and for about 20 seconds or so, you will become short of breath. If you didn't know to expect it, it would almost be concerning but it leaves as fast as it comes. BTW, I think that demographically speaking GABA does work because I believe that many individuals that suffer from poor health that leads to poor neurotransmitter health also have high levels of inflammation brought on by leaky gut and leaky brain.
@@JBaker-lh8pl When enzymes in a given pathway have irregularities or differences in potentitials of the substrate to product ratio, there becomes up/down regulation of the affected enzymes. Imagine a water pressure regulator that is set to maintain 150 psi on the outlet but it is pressently getting 200 psi on the inlet. All of the sudden, the inlet pressure goes to 250psi. In a spit second, the outlet pressure goes up, well above 150psi, until the control valve observes that the process is out of balance. Once this is observed, the control valve closes and pressure control is restored.
Im experimenting with Picamilon, a very interesting compound. Niacin (B3) bonded with GABA, which enables GABA to cross the BBB. Picamilon is an ingredient used in the production of the street drug GHB, or "Fantasy", this made Picamilon a Class-B drug by the FDA. I had to run the gauntlet and took a chance to bring in a small amount for personal testing. It arrived safely and unopened. As far as effects go.....So far so good. Picamilon is a much safer and effective form of brain GABA (far safer than Phenibut).
Inflammation uses up so much, from neurotransmitters to hormones, mitochondria, and adrenals. People who have autoimmune conditions are so poorly served by standard pharma medicine and don't get enough of what they need. It's a different requirement than for people without chronic inflammation or regular flare ups. In my opinion 😊xx
While Gabba does not brake the blood brain barrier a certain amount will A small percentage of They are not sure how but feel it’s through the gut brain connection Taking a huge amount of Gabba can easily cause that sensation of feeling like your respiratory system is compromised for a few moments If you had a leaky gut or leaky brain a small amount of Gabba would cause this problem.
After lots of reading, balancing the pros and cons (pros prevailed), a couple years ago I decided to try GABA supplement. I don't remember anything about sleeping support, but I trashed the supplement because it was giving me feelings of depression. Terrible experience!
Gaba...isn't good for some epileptics...but it helps some ...so I don't know what to think..Glutathione is actually safer...glutamate in to high a degree causes anxiety...
Great video! It was pleasant to listen, I was making notes and repeating some fragments few times to not miss anything. Like every single word seems so important, wow. Thanks guys! Huge respect for both of you.
Just a warning the Tro Zzz contains polyethylene glycol. You decide if you think it's safe. To me, I don't want to ingest something that's derived from petrochemicals.
Are you sure it's Polyetheline Glycol?(anti freeze) Or polypropylene glycol?- which is used in cough medicine, Embesol tooth numbing medicine, polypropylene glycol is approved by WHO as safe substance to to ingest with no harm, research your chemicals, one's not like the other, I hope this helps, stay safe either way, friend❤
It'll just be a statistical average. Several things could affect the gut lining. Liver damage, bial thickening, pesticide accumulation in the gut lining (I'm guessing)... These things have a compounding affect that makes it harder to heal a leaky gut and in general they'd accumulate over time. Hence, you gotta use a multi-pronged approach. TUDCA, Glycine, and then (cycling) Alpha Lipoic Acid (so not every day) is an awesome way to get the liver and bial system working again and detoxing your blood, brain, liver, and gut. Broccoli sprouts for the kidneys (check your MTHFKR gene tho).

I ruminate. In addition to being diagnosed autistic, ADHD, bipolar (type 2), and living with CPTSD and lifelong tinnitus. My inner dialogue is hard to shut up once it gets going. I tend to read to sleep, which generally helps. However, some hostile worker in my brain once thought it would be funny to give me nightmares and stressmares to wake me when I need to pee, and the pattern stuck Most of the time, my air filter's white noise and either crickets or rain ASMR calm me okay, drown out the tinnitus. If I find I can not go back to sleep, sometimes I will read again if I can shift focus; but more often these days I just turn on a podcast. Basically, I need cerebral distraction using as few senses as possible. It took years to get used to my CPAP, even the simple nostril strap I use, and I'm mostly used to wearing a lightweight mask to block the ridiculous number of lights we have nowadays. But it's so much crap touching me when I just want my mind and body to take a break from one another. I'll discuss GABA with my psychiatrist. We just finished the process of shifting from an SSRI to bupropion and so far, so good, except that I'm still in that early stage off the Duloxetine where I still get the weird withdrawal weird-headedness, which will pass. I've put a lot of energy of late into fine tuning my feeding and meds timing, too, and seem to have had good results, save the sudden mild deficiency in blood cells. Other doctors and I are pursuing answers for that, hopefully will just turn out to be a side effect of now-gone giant kidney stones (calcium oxalates, the ironic dark side of eating lots of veggies). But you never know. I went through intensive chemo, a sternotomy with tumor resection, and about 5.5 months of antibiotics over 9 months, 12 years ago, and I'm still discovering ways in which all that f'ed up my body. Gut seems to finally be normal(ish), now. Sleep mostly okay, other than as mentioned above, now that the gut is okay and I've eliminated all the extra sources of chronic inflammation (turns out I must not eat allium, e.g. garlic, sadness), I've (mostly) stopped injuring myself for thinking I could still exert myself the way I could when I was 4, much less 40 (cancer at 42). My life is so… gratuitous with the unnecessary. LOL Small wonder I have such a dark sense of humor; but that kept me in good straits with all my care teams. Attitude matters. And I've seen how much worse it can be for me. Fine, I turn 55 in a few weeks and it no longer feels like aged 20 years in one, just half that. It's a work in progress. Yes, I'm just blithering at this point. :) I'm looking at the troscriptions website and will do the rest of my yammering with my psychiatrist and nutritionist. Thanks for the video. As you can see by the flood of alphabet soup, I got me thinking about what I'll tackle next. Replacing my passport and convincing friends in other countries to sponsor me?
God bless you, you tolerant soul of incredible constitution, your struggle is human and very real, I know I fail to reach the exasperating experience you are dealing with, but know I have experienced, not the same but similar-, i get a weird podrome with a weird sonar in my ears, when I'm stressed, it let's me know I'm losing grip, it's the warning I'm going to perceive things that aren't really there-or are they there?I have schizoaffective Disorder ,Major depressive disorder, Adhd, Anxiety PSTD and food insecurity. Know that we are strong because we've HAD to be this strong
Hope you're getting some relief. Funny how we celebrate folks that don't have problems - when there are folks like you (and me) that have to work so much harder playing the hand we were dealt.
@@Music-gr2wfthanks for the suggestion, but everything long predates CoVID, which I never had, anyway. Silica is not something I want to intentionally consume, either. Plain sand would be bad enough; but if it's state has been altered, it will be in one of the hygroscopic forms that do nothing positive to the body and can literally gum it up. It's not a toxin, but there's a reason why all silica EXCEPT that put into supplements, even though it's the same stuff, is labeled do not consume (or inhale, which is quite dangerous).
You are right about relaxing. I work 12 hour night shifts. After 11 years of no breaks because of mean coworkers refusal to relieve me I have aged quicker. I am full of pain. Stiffness...joint pain. Waves of dizziness, lightheadedness and nausea. I am also stressed due to weak bladder. Hard to find someone to watch heart monitors so I can take restroom breaks.
I was fed up with my poor health and decided I needed balance between switching myself off and on. I could do both to the extreme. Suffering all my life with poor digestion IBS migraines on a biblical scale etc Read a few books learnt basic meditation which restored my balance, mostly 🙄😀 Health improved immensely and continues to do so. I also improved diet sleep a little All things though were easy to do, part of my past problems were down to doing or not doing everything to the max. Feel healthier now than I did years ago. Interesting video tnx
I've been doing a lot of research lately for brain and physical health recovery after getting sober for some with ADHD and this protocol for restoring Gaba deficiency sounds similiar to deficiencies caused by longterm alcohol use. Not exactly, but close. My fiance cant shut hisbrain down at night and has terrible depression. I think this would be beneficial for him. I quit drinking myself over a month ago for weight loss, and started meditating and doing Qigong. I feel wonderful afterward.

Wish we all didn’t have to censor ourselves so much now. I want the rated R version! A lot of us are just a smart and knowledgeable, or more so, as doctors and we should have the right to have ALL information available. As soon as I went into menopause my whole body changed!! Now I have chronic pain and sleep issues. Not one doctor, not one, explained anything about menopause to me!! I all of a sudden started having cognitive issues ( not remembering things and brain fog) gut issues and stress!! No one related any of my symptoms to my hormones!! 5 years post menopausal and I’m thinking WTF….This is CRAZY man..!! What are these doctors doing?? Seriously! And I’ve watched my mom decline to basically being bed ridden and weak. Not one doctor, not even one, told me about osteoporosis, osteopenia, and how I need to make sure I build muscle especially BEFORE and during menopause!! I’ve learned everything I know from UA-cam and books and searching for research papers. The whole medical industry has failed us! And it’s videos like these that are saving us!! Literally. And I always read the comments so we can communicate with each other.
YT is a blessing.. thank you Google 🙏
Yes, totally agree with you, let’s never stop communicating, even if we don’t agree on everything, but we still respect each other opinions, and approach each other with love and understanding, yes, menopause is really really really bad. Hit me really hard and I have the same symptoms as you.
I hope I can help my wife when she will reach this point în her life. Right now just research.
That should be your life now; relying on yourself and people like these two researches to get info. The doctors, even if they’re good, are beleaguered with too many patients. A lot of them are at best mediocre. You should never hand your health and well being over to someone who doesn’t have to walk in your shoes- no matter how many degrees and certifications behind their name. You walk it; you talk it!
Agreed and me too with menopause symptoms!

Low iodine results in low levels of thyroid hormones affecting GABA. Which can lead to depression or anxiety.
binging on greens like kale or collards can block absorption of iodine. Mine was borderline low. I was using my pressure cooker to cook large amounts of kale. I stopped eating it, got tested a month later and everything was normal. This happened twice. Finally I started eating it normally.
Plus people consume too much bromine, which hogs the receptors that iodine wants to link up with
Iodine is one one of the many nutrients that most Americans are deficient in, especially the very unhealthy non-vegans. Raising iodine to proper levels for iodine deficient people raises IQ (it won't raise it if you're not deficient).
Speaking of IQ, European-Jewish people have the highest IQ rate of any culture. I'm Jewish like Einstein and about 25% of the science award receivers, Oppenheimer, Carl Sagan, Eminem's best friend/music manager, Taylor Swift's music producer and one of her bodyguards, the founder of the Ghostbusters theme song, the founders of most comics and the latest Punisher, Bobby Fischer and over 50% of the best chess players, Lawrence Krauss, Bruce Lipton, Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter actor), Drake, Madonna, The Beastie Boys, the biker chick in the Fast and Furious series and who plays the latest Wonder Woman, Steven Spielberg, Mel Brooks, Stanley Kubrick, Seth Rogan, Sam Harris, Sam Altman (ChatGPT founder), the founders of Microsoft, the makers of most of the iPhone parts, etc.

It also results in a lower IQ, iodine deficiency. Speaking of IQ, European-Jewish people have the highest IQ rate of any culture. I'm 50% Euro-Jewish. Hehe.

Having a dog for a companion increases dopamine in both the human and the dog as result of petting and in general, a beautiful relationship. In fact, one trainer I've heard says that when a dog demands petting all the time, it means it is a dopamine addict.
True. I recently rescued a senior dog with mental and physical problems from the shelter. She's made a complete transformation within 2 months. If it weren't for her, I'd likely be deceased. She gets me out walking ... She gets me to take my heart meds and insulin (I'm an underweight Type 1) because I don't want to die on her and leave her stranded.

I take progesterone for increasing GABA. works perfectly as a sleep aid.
How and when do you take it (cream, pill, time of day, daily or only for a certain # of weeks per month)? Is it OTC or Rx?
@@KatarinaS.You can get it from a compounding pharmacy. 100 mg or 200 mg capsules depending on the results of a blood test ordered by your doctor. You'll need your doctor to prescribe it. Most likely you'll need to go to a naturopath or DO to order the tests and get a prescription. Take one capsule per day an hour before bed. 😉
Yep if you could possibly specify oral cream and how many mg. Have an awesome week & day
I take it orally for years, I’m wondering if it’s depleting my gaba.
@@sarahscott9601 I take Prometrium every night 200 mgs (2 pills) sometimes I need to add a blob of P cream daytime as well. I've been on it almost my whole life, even when I was pregnant, and I am 63 now, so its perfectly fine.

Weighted blankets really relax. can feel a peaceful current running upward almost immediately. I don't have bad dreams sleeping under a weighted blanket.

they are good !
Stress leads to GABA depletion. As alcohol and benzos work on the GABA receptors in the brain, it’s no surprise that alcoholism and addiction are so common in those with chronically stressful lives.

I have been taking GABA for a few years. I am so grateful for it.
Dosing?
@@stefanallard3084 at present I take 750mg morning at night. I get it over the counter at Walmart. I started taking it at night until I was used to it and then tried adding a morning dose on a weekend when I didn’t have to go anywhere. I increased to twice a day when I felt like I needed a bit more than the nightly dose. According to this video, if I remember right, I have a leaky gut which is why it may work for me. Maybe so, maybe not, I don’t know. I just know it helps.
I thought he said, taking Gaba does very little
@@beverlyallison4768 he did. But he also said something about leaky gut which may or may not be an issue for me. Idk. All I can tell you is my experience with taking GABA has been positive. I keep taking it.
I'm a regular meditator, 4 months now. I have gotten so many benefits from this. I was able to go down 10 mg. in my antidepressant. Because of the meditation, I am able to handle the withdrawals. Now to find out how to stop hot flashes, and I'm golden.
Hello dear, you can stop the hot flashes safely with natural Progesterone cream. If you menstruating you start on the 8th day of your menstrual cycle ( counting from the first day of bleeding) and stopping 24 to 48 hours prior to the expected date of your next period. Apply no less than 50mg Natural Progesterone Cream on areas where it would be absorbed best ( inside of elbows, behind kneecap, side of your neck on the route of the artery). Keep on mind that majority of Progesterone creams are 2% with means with 3 pumps you will get 60mg. If you have issues with sleep best Apply in the evening. If you're not menstruating Apply daily except 1 day of the month off. Good luck!
Very kind of you to write this. I'm 60. Way beyond periods. I did take progesterone for about 6 years. I took 200 mg in the evening. Then I had a compound that I would spread on my arm every day. After 6 years, my hair started to fall out, so I stopped the hormones altogether. My hair stopped falling out for the most part. But I just decided not to go back. Marijuana is very helpful with the hot flashes. Why? I have no idea, and I haven't researched this yet. But the difference is so big, I just use pot to stop it. It's way cheaper than hormones.@@aneliadraganova3504
Your hot flushes could also be caused by your antidepressant. I would not add extra hormones as the other comment suggests. It will have an effect on your whole body. Something you probably should discuss with a herbalist or a holistic doctor :)
Thank you for your comment!@@TheDarkAnoriel
@@michellecox5543 the hormone comment is definitely a valid option and probably the most common one (I'd guess). It just depends if that's what you want to do or if you want to try other options first :) it depends on what medication you're taking, how much, if you can switch or if that causes too much trouble etc. I wish you good luck and health as well as strength advocating for yourself on your journey 🤗
Another exceptional short but incredibly interesting and information interview with another expert. This collab was super interesting. Thanks Thomas!!
As far as Kava goes, if you have low blood pressure like me, I would not suggest taking it. It made me feel awful. If you have high blood pressure, it might work very well for you
Kava or GABA?
Interesting aside about MSG ! I had the worst head pressure and headache after consuming it! This interview is deep and very informative!!!! Thank you!!
This is great, thanks. I used to use GABA a lot but it has become very difficult to get in the UK - no laws or anything, no discussion but they're restricting all kinds of substances that are really useful to us. For a few years now have been using powdered l-theanine under the tongue and it is just magic. A small amount enables me to concentrate on work for longer, a larger dose helps me to calm down and sleep better at night. Highly recommend it.
Edit: I wonder whether GABA taken directly DOES help not just if you have a leaky gut but because, perhaps, the gut has GABA receptors just as it has serotonin receptors?
I don’t think much if any of a gaba supplement gets bast the BBB. Sorry.
L theanine, CBD, and ashwagandha.😊
What substances are they restricting for us? I'm from the UK, and I've been buying supplements for 16 years. Never had any issues whatsoever. I can buy whatever I like.
I could, hypothetically, even buy illegal substances and have it delivered to my door, if I chose to risk that.
This is 2023, not 1995.
If theanine relaxes you the chances are you are high histamine and your body is not neutralising it. Theanine is an untihistamine which acts on the brain. This it helps people sleep, because histamine is stimulating and helps us do things during the day.
Why can’t you sleep better without it? How old are you?
26:07 give your body just 5 min to relax, breathing, stretching, yoga, or anything to relax will increase your GABA

Learning about GABA changed my life! @60 years of age. A friend/mentor was looking for a natural way to sleep. When reading about it, she contacted me, because I had told her I always “thought” differently. And that things were bouncing around in my head so fast that I couldn’t grab the thought. She suggested I try it in the morning on a weekend. GABA CHANGED MY LIFE!! I can think without having to work at it. And my wife can tell before me if I don’t supplement in the morning. Based upon my history, I don’t think I ever produced GABA naturally. With supplemental GABA in the morning, I no longer have to “read” other people to know how to act or react. And I have met many people in the last 10 years who have found GABA useful in the same way.
Where do you buy this please
@@Behappy62 Available online or in vitamin shops. The presenter does recommend one with some other supplements. Mine has some magnesium and biotin. Different brands have always worked for me when taken with a good multivitamin.
Any GABA supplement works?
@@dragosmagdau7209 yes, they have for me. They are different strengths. For my brain connections, 250-500. And to check it out for my thought clearing, I did check on a morning I didn’t need to work to be sure it didn’t make me sleepy instead of clear headed. It also has B6 at 6mg.
So my replies have referenced NOW brand and naturmil.
Thats why people like to drink as it interacts with Gaba giving you that relaxed feeling but its a double edged sword as you could get addicted to it and end up becoming an alcoholic if you are predisposed to the condition ,

100% agree gaba agonism is way better for my mental health these antidepressants affecting dopamine and serotonin seemingly do naff all
They work nicely just that they affect few aspects of cognition which is not acceptable
The ibotenic acid in Amanita Muscaria mushroom has to get decarboxylated and will transform to muscimol which acts as GABA just a little stronger

scott is the man. he knows so much
Thank You Dr. Scott Scherr and Thomas! Amazing content!
I really like those guest interviews. We need more!
Just curious, what are they bleeping out?
The PG reference? I’m curious as well.
Seems to relate to CBD and/or mushrooms.
Va'gina juice
Fak
Few drops of lavendar essential oil in bath also boosts gaba
Lavender tincture is best for this.
Great! I want GOBS of gabs!
thank you freesia7632!
it's taken me 20 years to discover this. I've worked on serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine. Gaba has been a game changer. Where the hell are the psychiatrists getting their training?
Thomas you have some of the very best health information on the internet 😊
Thomas you are also an excellent interviewer as you don't interrupt to ' one up" the guest , you ask questions with the listeners questions in mind... your comments show respect and modesty. I'm glad you have 12-30 min talks as I can't listen to the 1-2 hour interviews . Lover your 12 main habits . I wonder if you have spoken about the benefits of " grounding" and having your feet connect to the earth especially in the morning..personally I've been wondering about a little 3 foot square play box of that pure play sand as real sand feels wonderful to stand in...I wonder if it would help to do that inside the house . Thanks so much for your brilliant explanations .
Why no talk about the gut bacteria that produce GABA?
Right gaba is made in the gut.
That's no profitable.
wow cool insight
Arguably one of the best videos you have put out. ty!!
Love this video. This is such interesting information from Dr. Sherr. Thank you for helping us understand more about how our bodies work
You are most welcome!
Happy to come across this clip. Excellent fast paced interview.
Have this guy back! Good show
Wait, so... if your gut health is perfect, your blood-brain barrier works properly... but if you have leaky gut, your blood-brain barrier is vulnerable in some way? This is the first I've EVER heard of this connection (admittedly, I don't do much learning or research related to blood-brain barrier at all)... this seems like something I should have heard about like a MILLION TIMES by now... seems like it would be so, so very important to mental health and emotional/mental overall stability!!! 🧠🧠
It works via the Vagus Nervus
Leaky gut just means an increase in toxins, including those pesky neurotoxins, getting into your blood - some of which even get across the blood-brain barrier. Not sure to what extent they damage it, probably somewhat.
Yes, leaky gut means leaky brain. I learned this years ago so info is out there. You've probably heard of the gut-brain connection at least.
In the UK doctors do not recognise leaky gut, however they will give out ssri drugs 🙄
This information is out there for a long time .Maybe just now is your moment to notice it and use it.
You said that glutamine will fix a leaky gut in one month for à 30 yrs old. What about if you re 60 ? Will glutamine fix it even though it takes longer ?
No u will get cancer
I have suffered from complex ptsd for over 20 years if it is as easy as you are suggesting why the hell am I still living in hell? I haven't felt the emotion of happiness for so long I can't even remember how it feels 😢 and the waves of anxiety, depression every day, stress with no external problems or reason to be stressed 😢 insomnia, insane mood swings and unwanted uncontrollable emotional outbursts for no reason? Just give me a happy pill already...
Find Christ!
Exercise, meditate 10 min 2x a day, put the devices away at night and don’t reach for them first thing in the morning, no more junk food, ultra processed, 85% of grocery store food, cereals, yogurt, etc, all junk. No more soda, especially diet.
Have s.x. As simple at that, but it has to last long like 1.5 hours and guy need to be strong and full of force. I'm not joking.
@@wrknout YES!!!!!!Our great healer! Jesus is the way the truth and the life!
@lesleybrown1583 maybe menopause if not try going carnivore. Lots of doctors on UA-cam are, start with Ken Berry. I have read so many people that heal and come out of depression with this diet. I have never felt better, God bless!
Tried to check the website out, but gave up after they tried to make me fill out a damn survey to even see the products. Tell me part of your business model is selling information on customers with out telling me. Recockulous.
Such a great conversation! Now I know why my GABA powder did nothing to me (apart from troubles breathing). It's interesting to know that it's glutamate/GABA system that rules our parasympathetic and sympathetic systems, I always thought it was dopamin and serotonin.
Great to learn something new! For my speedy brain 5-HTP+ashwagandha works great, but the biggest change for the better was when I reduced to half my phone screen time (especially in PM). And I think to do things outdoors is important, sport hobbies +get the vitD from the sunlight. In short, live more like before smartphones were invented.
GABA made me slower and tired, just ME obviously.
@Sammyli99
That‘s why I take it right before I go to bed… 😁
gave me funny-fog-heads, sorry I may revisit BUT not ATM...enough going on, I don't need an additional James Herbert book, streets ahead of that King dude. @@Zett76
Ashwaganda had that effect of me too. Decrease screen time and more time outside, and helped my depression.
My grounding sheets have been a game changer. No more joint pain and sleep like a baby as soon as my head hits the pillow
I've wanted to try these but done want to waste my money...
What brand do you use?
This dude is so stressing me. I need that gaba right now!
yes but it doesn't cross brain barrier so why bother..
Beef and chicken contains 4 +/- grams per 100g. Eat food, done.
I love stuff about neurotransmitters. I'm an addiction counselor and mental health counselor and I do a lot of education on neurotransmitter systems.
Do you have any help for someone that's cold turkeyed off Benzos.
@@TheMeatballsub666Look into mushrooms.
@@TheMeatballsub666 benzos are especially dangerous to detox off of. I remember xanaxs being the worst withdrawals I ever experienced. I really wouldn't know what to recommend. I am not s doctor. If you can't get to detox, maybe try some natural stuff to help you with stress, anxiety, and sleeping. The good news is that once you get through a couple rough days, you just have to focus on not using them again and building life style practices where using them is impractical.
Do you think the products containing cbd, caffeine, nicotine etc. Would be addictive?
@@clraffell they are addictive but they don't spike dopamine to the extent that typically causes pathological addiction (a severe substance use disorder) including obsession and irrational behavior.
Great title - better than dopamine love it. Appreciate the info in this video - I find I can access amazing feelings through breathwork, apparently similar to DMT.
Hey now I know why when I was eating ton of red cabbage I was sleeping like a baby but then I find out about oxalates and I stopped cabbage. I think I'm gonna give it another chance. I m gonna titrate cabbage 😊
Cabbage is among the lowest in oxalates. Unless you have kidney issues, it will not be a problem.
hahaha
it's a spiral feels up down or in circle but moves forward eventually
lemon juice can nullify oxalates
most of them is internal production
if you are wegetarian or in dumping cycle not a problem
The strongest neurotransmitter is love.
so this is a public admittance of ego being tied into the currency of neurotransmitters
♥
No, it isn’t. Love is oxytocin, and dopamine.
Absolutely Love is the fix! I studied under an evangelical teacher who spoke exclusively on love, this couple came from the world all of man must navigate. Despite a miserable marriage I believed love would heal us and spent years longer than my good common sense made for. i.e. looking back i wonder why I didn’t at the least save the 4 kids from the fire burning if not myself! PTSD followed in all 6 of us since then so that I came to believe that I came into the world too early with this love frequency now all over the internet! I’ve been speaking to Visualization and the love frequency forever, well for all of my 63 years! Still really glad I’m still here to witness and experience this amazing quantum shift! So very glad to see Love wins!
Oxytocin is not a neuro transmitter, but a molecule. The most important for human love, trust and bonding. Im sure there will be many comments about this.
Years ago I remember my mom taking a product called immunotec or immunocal. It had something like Glutathione precursor, whey protein and NAC. It was meant to strengthen immune system and antibodies.
Reading comments, it’s mentioned to take glynac with gaba. I wonder if all these have the same effect?
Glynac is glycine bound to NAC.
Both glycine and GABA are inhibitory neurotransmitters (allow your neurons to relax). You can get glycine also from a form of magnesium (Magnesium Glycinate) which is about 90% glycine to 10% magnesium ratio.
@@darilekron4590 thank you for responding 😎
Hi Thomas
Do you think it’s possible to make a video on the benefits of Methylene blue. Your host Dr. Scherr is big proponent of methylene blue!!
Methylene Blue is quackery.
it's still not very known and used
maybe because of problems with application
@@szymonbaranowski8184 Are you joking? Mb has been around over 135 yrs.
That was a very good summary and at the same time specifics about GABA support
I’ve always known I was super sensitive to MSG.. yet there were all those articles saying it was fine and the worries were blown out of proportion.. yet every time I accidentally ate it I’d get dehydrated and wouldn’t be able to sleep, sometimes it would make my kidneys ache! I’d be able to tell without knowing what had gone into a meal, whether it had MSG in based just on my body’s response. So it wasn’t psychosomatic.
Finally this video has explained the mechanism, makes perfect sense. I’m sensitive to nervous system strain so an effect on GABA is obvious.
Thanks for the info. Nice to know I wasn’t imagining things 👍
Best part of UA-cam is stuff like this.
So helpful.
These products contain polyethylene glycol. Do your research before you buy. Just because it’s developed by a doctor doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have ingredients in it that can be dangerous.
You're my kind of woman! 🙂
It's a medi ine for constipation
haha if its developed by a flaming doctor i bet there are some rubbishy ingredients in them lol.
According to Stephenie Seneff glyphosate minmices glycine, glycine is a amino acid needed by the body we cant use glphosate a poison. As well as other glyphosate mimics other AA ....
I can't take a lot of adaptogens because I have hashimotos. I take 5 or 10 grams of l glutamine and it's worked wonders. Ive tried valerian, skullcap, passionflower, you name it. Nothing worked like glutamine...at least for me. Everyone is different. Just a personal observation 😊
Great guest! Great video! Thank you! 🙏🏼
Why wasn't this information promoted to us many years ago? I learn something new daily on UA-cam.
I was about to argue the point of GABA supplements working because they do, as he said, if you have leaky brain, which I believe many do. If you want to test this, do the GABA challenge. Take about 3 grams of GABA on a relatively empty stomach. If you have a leaky brain, you will soon find out. For me, it happened in about 20 minutes. When GABA crosses the blood brain barrier, it resets your neurosystem and for about 20 seconds or so, you will become short of breath. If you didn't know to expect it, it would almost be concerning but it leaves as fast as it comes. BTW, I think that demographically speaking GABA does work because I believe that many individuals that suffer from poor health that leads to poor neurotransmitter health also have high levels of inflammation brought on by leaky gut and leaky brain.
@@JBaker-lh8pl When enzymes in a given pathway have irregularities or differences in potentitials of the substrate to product ratio, there becomes up/down regulation of the affected enzymes. Imagine a water pressure regulator that is set to maintain 150 psi on the outlet but it is pressently getting 200 psi on the inlet. All of the sudden, the inlet pressure goes to 250psi. In a spit second, the outlet pressure goes up, well above 150psi, until the control valve observes that the process is out of balance. Once this is observed, the control valve closes and pressure control is restored.
Im experimenting with Picamilon, a very interesting compound. Niacin (B3) bonded with GABA, which enables GABA to cross the BBB.
Picamilon is an ingredient used in the production of the street drug GHB, or "Fantasy", this made Picamilon a Class-B drug by the FDA.
I had to run the gauntlet and took a chance to bring in a small amount for personal testing. It arrived safely and unopened. As far as effects go.....So far so good. Picamilon is a much safer and effective form of brain GABA (far safer than Phenibut).
Inflammation uses up so much, from neurotransmitters to hormones, mitochondria, and adrenals. People who have autoimmune conditions are so poorly served by standard pharma medicine and don't get enough of what they need. It's a different requirement than for people without chronic inflammation or regular flare ups. In my opinion 😊xx
While Gabba does not brake the blood brain barrier a certain amount will
A small percentage of
They are not sure how but feel it’s through the gut brain connection
Taking a huge amount of Gabba can easily cause that sensation of feeling like your respiratory system is compromised for a few moments
If you had a leaky gut or leaky brain a small amount of Gabba would cause this problem.
@@HeartFeltGestureI tried it
Did nothing
I even took grams of it
Did nothing
After lots of reading, balancing the pros and cons (pros prevailed), a couple years ago I decided to try GABA supplement. I don't remember anything about sleeping support, but I trashed the supplement because it was giving me feelings of depression. Terrible experience!
Gaba...isn't good for some epileptics...but it helps some ...so I don't know what to think..Glutathione is actually safer...glutamate in to high a degree causes anxiety...
For me its good but then I’m more anxious the next day?
I take it when I have had a fight, it calms me down. I always wondered why it works even though it's not supposed to.
@@ingridgilbert4917 You likely have leaky gut if a pure GABA supplement works for you.
This is great man. What a wealth of knowledge.
Great video! It was pleasant to listen, I was making notes and repeating some fragments few times to not miss anything. Like every single word seems so important, wow.
Thanks guys! Huge respect for both of you.
Thomas i watched you back in 2016, just wanna say you dont look a day older than back then 👏
Just a warning the Tro Zzz contains polyethylene glycol. You decide if you think it's safe. To me, I don't want to ingest something that's derived from petrochemicals.
I noticed that too 🧐
Are you sure it's Polyetheline Glycol?(anti freeze) Or polypropylene glycol?- which is used in cough medicine, Embesol tooth numbing medicine, polypropylene glycol is approved by WHO as safe substance to to ingest with no harm, research your chemicals, one's not like the other, I hope this helps, stay safe either way, friend❤
@@ashleypihlcrantz9836 isnt propylene glycol in the e cigs like vaping?
How would the MTFR mutation and methylation process attribute to this deficiency?
Thank you for asking. I am also a questioning this.
Why is the glutamine only used on those below 30 for 'leaky gut'? What's the reason for the age cut-off?
Could be related to younger individuals healing capabilities verses older populations.
It'll just be a statistical average. Several things could affect the gut lining. Liver damage, bial thickening, pesticide accumulation in the gut lining (I'm guessing)... These things have a compounding affect that makes it harder to heal a leaky gut and in general they'd accumulate over time. Hence, you gotta use a multi-pronged approach. TUDCA, Glycine, and then (cycling) Alpha Lipoic Acid (so not every day) is an awesome way to get the liver and bial system working again and detoxing your blood, brain, liver, and gut. Broccoli sprouts for the kidneys (check your MTHFKR gene tho).
@@brandonyoung4910 Ok. Seems to me it would be on a more individual case/basis, rather than just blanketly excluding an entire segment of population based on arbitrary gauge like age.

I take Kratom for skeep and it does wonders
How much do you take? I tried kava and Valyrian root & they didn’t help at all.
@@Private-wj4nd if you have pain pkus Insomnia and need somethinging strong, buy Red Bali kratom. Start small dose,maybe a teaspoon,and work your way up. Red Bali is the strongest for insomnia,so start small
watch out kratom can have a strong side effect
Tried GABA and got irritable so figured had enuf and BBB was compromised. Valerian, B6 gave me headaches. MSG-BAD. Tried glutamine to heal gut but caused stomach pain(over 40). Figuredhad enuf gaba. Mg is nice limited as can slow HR. Would be nice to have more active mind day(afternoon) and way less at 2am. at least fall asleep quickly. Calming brain- planting seeds, go outside, see, listen....

I ruminate. In addition to being diagnosed autistic, ADHD, bipolar (type 2), and living with CPTSD and lifelong tinnitus. My inner dialogue is hard to shut up once it gets going. I tend to read to sleep, which generally helps. However, some hostile worker in my brain once thought it would be funny to give me nightmares and stressmares to wake me when I need to pee, and the pattern stuck Most of the time, my air filter's white noise and either crickets or rain ASMR calm me okay, drown out the tinnitus. If I find I can not go back to sleep, sometimes I will read again if I can shift focus; but more often these days I just turn on a podcast. Basically, I need cerebral distraction using as few senses as possible. It took years to get used to my CPAP, even the simple nostril strap I use, and I'm mostly used to wearing a lightweight mask to block the ridiculous number of lights we have nowadays. But it's so much crap touching me when I just want my mind and body to take a break from one another.
I'll discuss GABA with my psychiatrist. We just finished the process of shifting from an SSRI to bupropion and so far, so good, except that I'm still in that early stage off the Duloxetine where I still get the weird withdrawal weird-headedness, which will pass. I've put a lot of energy of late into fine tuning my feeding and meds timing, too, and seem to have had good results, save the sudden mild deficiency in blood cells. Other doctors and I are pursuing answers for that, hopefully will just turn out to be a side effect of now-gone giant kidney stones (calcium oxalates, the ironic dark side of eating lots of veggies).
But you never know. I went through intensive chemo, a sternotomy with tumor resection, and about 5.5 months of antibiotics over 9 months, 12 years ago, and I'm still discovering ways in which all that f'ed up my body. Gut seems to finally be normal(ish), now. Sleep mostly okay, other than as mentioned above, now that the gut is okay and I've eliminated all the extra sources of chronic inflammation (turns out I must not eat allium, e.g. garlic, sadness), I've (mostly) stopped injuring myself for thinking I could still exert myself the way I could when I was 4, much less 40 (cancer at 42). My life is so… gratuitous with the unnecessary. LOL Small wonder I have such a dark sense of humor; but that kept me in good straits with all my care teams. Attitude matters. And I've seen how much worse it can be for me. Fine, I turn 55 in a few weeks and it no longer feels like aged 20 years in one, just half that. It's a work in progress. Yes, I'm just blithering at this point. :)
I'm looking at the troscriptions website and will do the rest of my yammering with my psychiatrist and nutritionist. Thanks for the video. As you can see by the flood of alphabet soup, I got me thinking about what I'll tackle next. Replacing my passport and convincing friends in other countries to sponsor me?
God bless you, you tolerant soul of incredible constitution, your struggle is human and very real, I know I fail to reach the exasperating experience you are dealing with, but know I have experienced, not the same but similar-, i get a weird podrome with a weird sonar in my ears, when I'm stressed, it let's me know I'm losing grip, it's the warning I'm going to perceive things that aren't really there-or are they there?I have schizoaffective Disorder ,Major depressive disorder, Adhd, Anxiety PSTD and food insecurity. Know that we are strong because we've HAD to be this strong
Hope you're getting some relief. Funny how we celebrate folks that don't have problems - when there are folks like you (and me) that have to work so much harder playing the hand we were dealt.
You also sounds like a possibly COVID/long-covid/Vax sequels...
Read my other comment and add organic silica/horsetail to the mix.
@@Music-gr2wfthanks for the suggestion, but everything long predates CoVID, which I never had, anyway. Silica is not something I want to intentionally consume, either. Plain sand would be bad enough; but if it's state has been altered, it will be in one of the hygroscopic forms that do nothing positive to the body and can literally gum it up. It's not a toxin, but there's a reason why all silica EXCEPT that put into supplements, even though it's the same stuff, is labeled do not consume (or inhale, which is quite dangerous).
like your Humor. 🤣🤣 wish you the best.
You are right about relaxing. I work 12 hour night shifts. After 11 years of no breaks because of mean coworkers refusal to relieve me I have aged quicker. I am full of pain. Stiffness...joint pain.

This was so timely for me…thank you
I was fed up with my poor health and decided I needed balance between switching myself off and on.
I could do both to the extreme.
Suffering all my life with poor digestion IBS migraines on a biblical scale etc
Read a few books learnt basic meditation which restored my balance, mostly 🙄😀
Health improved immensely and continues to do so.
I also improved diet sleep a little
All things though were easy to do, part of my past problems were down to doing or not doing everything to the max.
Feel healthier now than I did years ago.
Interesting video tnx
I've been doing a lot of research lately for brain and physical health recovery after getting sober for some with ADHD and this protocol for restoring Gaba deficiency sounds similiar to deficiencies caused by longterm alcohol use. Not exactly, but close. My fiance cant shut hisbrain down at night and has terrible depression. I think this would be beneficial for him. I quit drinking myself over a month ago for weight loss, and started meditating and doing Qigong. I feel wonderful afterward.
