The Unique You: Understanding Biochemical Individuality in Mental Health

What it means is that everybody is biochemically different, and what treatments work for one person may not be good for another.
Ever wondered why a treatment that works wonders for your friend doesn’t seem to do anything for you? In this episode of 'Brain Health and Healing', Eva Edelman dives into the fascinating concept of biochemical individuality. Introduced by Dr. Roger Williams back in 1957, this idea reveals that each of us is biochemically unique, which means our bodies react differently to various treatments and stressors.
Some people might have thyroid glands that go into overdrive under stress, leading to mania, while others might struggle with enzymes that don’t function properly, resulting in dementia or depression. Eva shares intriguing examples like these to illustrate how our unique biochemistry shapes our mental health. But it’s not just about identifying these differences; it’s about understanding them so we can work with our doctors to find the right nutrients and herbs tailored to our needs.
This episode is packed with eye-opening insights that could change the way you think about mental health and treatment. Tune in for a blend of scientific knowledge and practical advice that might just help you understand your own unique biochemical makeup.
