Episode Overview
- Under-methylation affects neurotransmitter production and can lead to perfectionism and depression.
- Copper excess creates a toxic environment for the nervous system, causing anxiety.
- Pyroluria makes the nervous system highly reactive and sensitive.
- Addressing biochemical imbalances can improve mental health and overall well-being.
- Practical advice on identifying and correcting these imbalances.
Our biochemistry can actually create the internal conditions that make trauma responses more likely
Ever wondered if there's a biological component that's keeping you stuck in trauma patterns despite years of therapy? In this episode, Dr. Aimie dives into the fascinating topic of biochemistry and its impact on mental health. She builds on her conversation with Dr. Jason Loken, exploring three common biochemical imbalances that can trap people in nervous system dysregulation. From under-methylation to copper excess and pyroluria, Dr. Aimie explains how these imbalances affect everything from brain chemicals to stress responses.
You'll learn how under-methylation can lead to perfectionism and depression, while copper excess creates a toxic environment for the nervous system, leading to anxiety. Pyroluria, on the other hand, makes the nervous system highly reactive and sensitive. Dr. Aimie provides practical advice on identifying and addressing these imbalances to improve mental health and overall well-being.
Whether you're struggling with your own mental health or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights into the biology behind mood and mental health struggles. Don't miss out on this opportunity to understand the biochemical factors that could be affecting your life.
