Full Transcript Questions Behind The Symptoms 0:01 If you're someone who's already done the 0:01 If you're someone who's already done the research, maybe tried functional 0:02 research, maybe tried functional 0:02 research, maybe tried functional medicine, a bunch of labs, a cleanse, 0:05 medicine, a bunch of labs, a cleanse, 0:05 medicine, a bunch of labs, a cleanse, different diets, and you still feel like 0:07 different diets, and you still feel like 0:07 different diets, and you still feel like something deeper is being missed, I'd 0:08 something deeper is being missed, I'd 0:08 something deeper is being missed, I'd love for you to take our root cause 0:09 love for you to take our root cause 0:09 love for you to take our root cause quiz. It's a short, thoughtful 0:11 quiz. It's a short, thoughtful 0:11 quiz. It's a short, thoughtful assessment designed to help you see 0:13 assessment designed to help you see 0:13 assessment designed to help you see patterns that might not have been 0:15 patterns that might not have been 0:15 patterns that might not have been detected yet. Things like hidden toxin 0:16 detected yet. Things like hidden toxin 0:16 detected yet. Things like hidden toxin exposure or nervous system overload or 0:18 exposure or nervous system overload or 0:18 exposure or nervous system overload or gut disruption or mold exposure, past or 0:21 gut disruption or mold exposure, past or 0:21 gut disruption or mold exposure, past or present. It's completely free and it 0:23 present. It's completely free and it 0:23 present. It's completely free and it takes just a few minutes. You'll find 0:24 takes just a few minutes. You'll find 0:24 takes just a few minutes. You'll find the link in the description below. take 0:26 the link in the description below. take 0:26 the link in the description below. take it and see what shows up and let's start 0:28 it and see what shows up and let's start 0:28 it and see what shows up and let's start making sense of what your body's been 0:29 making sense of what your body's been 0:29 making sense of what your body's been trying to tell you. So many times your 0:31 trying to tell you. So many times your 0:31 trying to tell you. So many times your body's not making a mistake. It's trying 0:33 body's not making a mistake. It's trying 0:33 body's not making a mistake. It's trying to share with you, hey, I'm doing the 0:35 to share with you, hey, I'm doing the 0:35 to share with you, hey, I'm doing the best I can under all of these stressors 0:37 best I can under all of these stressors 0:37 best I can under all of these stressors that I've been put under. And it all 0:39 that I've been put under. And it all 0:39 that I've been put under. And it all makes logical sense once you can connect 0:40 makes logical sense once you can connect 0:40 makes logical sense once you can connect the dots. Many of us as we're going 0:43 the dots. Many of us as we're going 0:43 the dots. Many of us as we're going through a mental health and emotional 0:45 through a mental health and emotional 0:46 through a mental health and emotional health journey um figure out that 0:47 health journey um figure out that 0:48 health journey um figure out that there's a ton of overlap between our 0:49 there's a ton of overlap between our 0:49 there's a ton of overlap between our physical symptoms and the state of our 0:52 physical symptoms and the state of our 0:52 physical symptoms and the state of our mental health, right? our cognition, the 0:54 mental health, right? our cognition, the 0:54 mental health, right? our cognition, the sharpness of our memory, our ability to 0:56 sharpness of our memory, our ability to 0:56 sharpness of our memory, our ability to hold tasks, to follow through to a task 0:59 hold tasks, to follow through to a task 0:59 hold tasks, to follow through to a task to completion. That's about working 1:01 to completion. That's about working 1:01 to completion. That's about working memory, that's about executive function, 1:02 memory, that's about executive function, 1:02 memory, that's about executive function, all that fun stuff. But we're still 1:05 all that fun stuff. But we're still 1:05 all that fun stuff. But we're still having a very disjointed conversation in 1:07 having a very disjointed conversation in 1:07 having a very disjointed conversation in the health field, especially in the 1:09 the health field, especially in the 1:09 the health field, especially in the online space right now. And it's it 1:11 online space right now. And it's it 1:11 online space right now. And it's it we're talking about these things as 1:13 we're talking about these things as 1:13 we're talking about these things as they're two separate things. If you have 1:14 they're two separate things. If you have 1:14 they're two separate things. If you have a body to deal with and you have a brain 1:16 a body to deal with and you have a brain 1:16 a body to deal with and you have a brain to deal with, they're not influencing 1:18 to deal with, they're not influencing 1:18 to deal with, they're not influencing each other. But the truth is, of course, 1:20 each other. But the truth is, of course, 1:20 each other. But the truth is, of course, they are in every way. in every 1:22 they are in every way. in every 1:22 they are in every way. in every imaginable way when it comes to your 1:24 imaginable way when it comes to your 1:24 imaginable way when it comes to your health. So depression, anxiety, burnout, 1:27 health. So depression, anxiety, burnout, 1:27 health. So depression, anxiety, burnout, hormones, aging, stress, you may 1:29 hormones, aging, stress, you may 1:29 hormones, aging, stress, you may experience these things that they don't 1:30 experience these things that they don't 1:30 experience these things that they don't explain why motivation has disappeared 1:33 explain why motivation has disappeared 1:33 explain why motivation has disappeared even when your life circumstances didn't 1:35 even when your life circumstances didn't 1:35 even when your life circumstances didn't change. Why calm feels like a very far 1:38 change. Why calm feels like a very far 1:38 change. Why calm feels like a very far away state that you just cannot reach 1:41 away state that you just cannot reach 1:41 away state that you just cannot reach even in safe situations or why nothing 1:43 even in safe situations or why nothing 1:43 even in safe situations or why nothing feels rewarding the way it used to or 1:45 feels rewarding the way it used to or 1:45 feels rewarding the way it used to or why you can be exhausted and agitated at 1:47 why you can be exhausted and agitated at 1:48 why you can be exhausted and agitated at the same time. Anybody else feel like 1:49 the same time. Anybody else feel like 1:49 the same time. Anybody else feel like that ever? wired and tired and fried all 1:51 that ever? wired and tired and fried all
What Weu2019ll Learn Today 1:52 that ever? wired and tired and fried all at the same time. So, today we're going 1:53 at the same time. So, today we're going 1:53 at the same time. So, today we're going to talk about some of the disruptors to 1:56 to talk about some of the disruptors to 1:56 to talk about some of the disruptors to your own personal well-being because you 1:58 your own personal well-being because you 1:58 your own personal well-being because you should absolutely be able to feel 2:00 should absolutely be able to feel 2:00 should absolutely be able to feel centered and in your body, present, 2:04 centered and in your body, present, 2:04 centered and in your body, present, alert, awake, at rest, at peace, all at 2:08 alert, awake, at rest, at peace, all at 2:08 alert, awake, at rest, at peace, all at the same time kind of as your default. 2:10 the same time kind of as your default. 2:10 the same time kind of as your default. And it's not that we aren't, you know, 2:12 And it's not that we aren't, you know, 2:12 And it's not that we aren't, you know, supposed to experience a wide range of 2:14 supposed to experience a wide range of 2:14 supposed to experience a wide range of emotions. We certainly are. That's what 2:15 emotions. We certainly are. That's what 2:15 emotions. We certainly are. That's what our neurochemicals are for. But then 2:17 our neurochemicals are for. But then 2:17 our neurochemicals are for. But then we're supposed to, our physiology 2:19 we're supposed to, our physiology 2:19 we're supposed to, our physiology suggests that our design is to come back 2:21 suggests that our design is to come back 2:21 suggests that our design is to come back to a state of rest and repair and detox 2:25 to a state of rest and repair and detox 2:25 to a state of rest and repair and detox and drainage kind of as our default. And 2:27 and drainage kind of as our default. And 2:27 and drainage kind of as our default. And the emotional state and the mental state 2:30 the emotional state and the mental state 2:30 the emotional state and the mental state in that parasympathetic dominance, our 2:32 in that parasympathetic dominance, our 2:32 in that parasympathetic dominance, our physiology suggests should be softly 2:34 physiology suggests should be softly 2:34 physiology suggests should be softly present, softly awake and aware in a 2:37 present, softly awake and aware in a 2:37 present, softly awake and aware in a nice gently neutral almost open way, 2:40 nice gently neutral almost open way, 2:40 nice gently neutral almost open way, almost positive to positive. Like that's 2:43 almost positive to positive. Like that's 2:43 almost positive to positive. Like that's actually the default state of humans. So 2:45 actually the default state of humans. So 2:45 actually the default state of humans. So if you don't feel like that, if you 2:47 if you don't feel like that, if you 2:47 if you don't feel like that, if you cannot easily reach calm, alert, awake, 2:49 cannot easily reach calm, alert, awake, 2:49 cannot easily reach calm, alert, awake, aware, softly positive as your default, 2:53 aware, softly positive as your default, 2:53 aware, softly positive as your default, something has gone wrong. So today we 2:55 something has gone wrong. So today we 2:55 something has gone wrong. So today we have to talk about parasites because 2:56 have to talk about parasites because 2:56 have to talk about parasites because they're so good at disrupting your 2:59 they're so good at disrupting your 2:59 they're so good at disrupting your neurology and distorting your own 3:00 neurology and distorting your own 3:00 neurology and distorting your own internal experience neurologically. And 3:02 internal experience neurologically. And 3:02 internal experience neurologically. And we also want to talk about 3:03 we also want to talk about 3:04 we also want to talk about neurotransmitters because these are the 3:06 neurotransmitters because these are the 3:06 neurotransmitters because these are the neurochemicals that really tell your 3:09 neurochemicals that really tell your 3:09 neurochemicals that really tell your body how to feel, how to regulate, 3:11 body how to feel, how to regulate, 3:11 body how to feel, how to regulate, whether or not it's time to make a 3:12 whether or not it's time to make a 3:12 whether or not it's time to make a decision, how easy that decision feels 3:14 decision, how easy that decision feels 3:14 decision, how easy that decision feels to make, and what decision feels right 3:16 to make, and what decision feels right 3:16 to make, and what decision feels right to you. Your neurotransmitters are 3:18 to you. Your neurotransmitters are 3:18 to you. Your neurotransmitters are almost like your built-in chemical 3:20 almost like your built-in chemical 3:20 almost like your built-in chemical messengers of your own internal guidance 3:21 messengers of your own internal guidance 3:22 messengers of your own internal guidance system. Your nervous system is your 3:24 system. Your nervous system is your 3:24 system. Your nervous system is your internal guidance system. It's always 3:25 internal guidance system. It's always 3:25 internal guidance system. It's always sensing, alert, aware, responding 3:28 sensing, alert, aware, responding 3:28 sensing, alert, aware, responding appropriately in the moment. And then 3:30 appropriately in the moment. And then 3:30 appropriately in the moment. And then the neurotransmitters are the chemical 3:32 the neurotransmitters are the chemical 3:32 the neurotransmitters are the chemical expression of that internal guidance 3:34 expression of that internal guidance 3:34 expression of that internal guidance system. So when something goes wrong, it 3:37 system. So when something goes wrong, it 3:37 system. So when something goes wrong, it can be really problematic to reach for 3:39 can be really problematic to reach for 3:39 can be really problematic to reach for something outside of yourself to 3:40 something outside of yourself to 3:40 something outside of yourself to override your body's instincts. Instead, 3:42 override your body's instincts. Instead, 3:42 override your body's instincts. Instead, what we want to do is understand the 3:44 what we want to do is understand the 3:44 what we want to do is understand the body's instincts and the disruptors so 3:47 body's instincts and the disruptors so 3:47 body's instincts and the disruptors so that you can get back to who you really 3:48 that you can get back to who you really 3:48 that you can get back to who you really are and feeling like the best of 3:49 are and feeling like the best of 3:49 are and feeling like the best of yourself again. And so we're going to 3:50 yourself again. And so we're going to 3:50 yourself again. And so we're going to talk about glutamate, GABA, dopamine, 3:52 talk about glutamate, GABA, dopamine, 3:52 talk about glutamate, GABA, dopamine, serotonin, like some of the yummiest 3:54 serotonin, like some of the yummiest 3:54 serotonin, like some of the yummiest neurotransmitters because they really 3:56 neurotransmitters because they really 3:56 neurotransmitters because they really color your day-to-day experience. 3:58 color your day-to-day experience. 3:58 color your day-to-day experience. They're not the only ones. There's 3:59 They're not the only ones. There's 4:00 They're not the only ones. There's actually over a 100 neurotransmitters 4:01 actually over a 100 neurotransmitters 4:01 actually over a 100 neurotransmitters that have been discovered. This is an 4:03 that have been discovered. This is an 4:03 that have been discovered. This is an incredibly complex neurological um tool 4:07 incredibly complex neurological um tool 4:07 incredibly complex neurological um tool that we have. So, I'm teaching you this 4:09 that we have. So, I'm teaching you this 4:09 that we have. So, I'm teaching you this today so that you feel set free of old 4:11 today so that you feel set free of old 4:12 today so that you feel set free of old stories about yourself that aren't 4:13 stories about yourself that aren't 4:13 stories about yourself that aren't actually true. You know, the ones like, 4:14 actually true. You know, the ones like, 4:14 actually true. You know, the ones like, "Oh, I'm on the short bus. My brain just 4:16 "Oh, I'm on the short bus. My brain just 4:16 "Oh, I'm on the short bus. My brain just doesn't work as good as it used to. I'm 4:18 doesn't work as good as it used to. I'm 4:18 doesn't work as good as it used to. I'm getting more senior moments. This is 4:20 getting more senior moments. This is 4:20 getting more senior moments. This is only going in one direction. It doesn't 4:21 only going in one direction. It doesn't 4:21 only going in one direction. It doesn't feel good." Or, "Oh, it's my hormones. 4:23 feel good." Or, "Oh, it's my hormones. 4:23 feel good." Or, "Oh, it's my hormones. Midlife, I'm just supposed to be 4:24 Midlife, I'm just supposed to be 4:24 Midlife, I'm just supposed to be suffering. I guess I'm on the neuroscy 4:27 suffering. I guess I'm on the neuroscy 4:27 suffering. I guess I'm on the neuroscy spectrum. I guess I'm just not allowed 4:28 spectrum. I guess I'm just not allowed 4:28 spectrum. I guess I'm just not allowed to feel at home and safe in my own body 4:30 to feel at home and safe in my own body 4:30 to feel at home and safe in my own body and I'm always going to be over 4:32 and I'm always going to be over 4:32 and I'm always going to be over agitated. We're totally in charge of 4:34 agitated. We're totally in charge of 4:34 agitated. We're totally in charge of that experience and suffering is 4:36 that experience and suffering is 4:36 that experience and suffering is optional. Most people's reaction to the
Parasites And Neurotransmitter Disruption 4:38 optional. Most people's reaction to the 4:38 optional. Most people's reaction to the word parasites honestly first off is 4:41 word parasites honestly first off is 4:41 word parasites honestly first off is like oh yeah that's not me or that's a 4:43 like oh yeah that's not me or that's a 4:43 like oh yeah that's not me or that's a third world issue or my doctor would 4:44 third world issue or my doctor would 4:44 third world issue or my doctor would have told me if I had parasites they 4:46 have told me if I had parasites they 4:46 have told me if I had parasites they would have found something. I don't 4:47 would have found something. I don't 4:47 would have found something. I don't think I have those. That's actually none 4:49 think I have those. That's actually none 4:49 think I have those. That's actually none of that's true. Parasite infections like 4:51 of that's true. Parasite infections like 4:51 of that's true. Parasite infections like prozzoa and helmets and single-c cellled 4:53 prozzoa and helmets and single-c cellled 4:53 prozzoa and helmets and single-c cellled organisms are actually extremely common 4:56 organisms are actually extremely common 4:56 organisms are actually extremely common in developed countries um much more than 4:58 in developed countries um much more than 4:58 in developed countries um much more than conventional medicine will acknowledge 5:00 conventional medicine will acknowledge 5:00 conventional medicine will acknowledge and they're rarely tested for on 5:02 and they're rarely tested for on 5:02 and they're rarely tested for on standard panels but um they have 5:04 standard panels but um they have 5:04 standard panels but um they have documented direct effects on brain 5:06 documented direct effects on brain 5:06 documented direct effects on brain chemistry. How would I possibly have 5:08 chemistry. How would I possibly have 5:08 chemistry. How would I possibly have parasites? My body would know. My body 5:09 parasites? My body would know. My body 5:09 parasites? My body would know. My body wouldn't let that happen or I would have 5:11 wouldn't let that happen or I would have 5:11 wouldn't let that happen or I would have seen them in the toilet or my doctor 5:13 seen them in the toilet or my doctor 5:13 seen them in the toilet or my doctor would have told me or they would have 5:14 would have told me or they would have 5:14 would have told me or they would have shown up on labs. Actually, it's very 5:16 shown up on labs. Actually, it's very 5:16 shown up on labs. Actually, it's very very difficult to capture parasites on 5:18 very difficult to capture parasites on 5:18 very difficult to capture parasites on labs at this time. It's because of how 5:20 labs at this time. It's because of how 5:20 labs at this time. It's because of how fast they break down their bodies as 5:21 fast they break down their bodies as 5:21 fast they break down their bodies as they die. It's because of the methods of 5:24 they die. It's because of the methods of 5:24 they die. It's because of the methods of testing that we have are very indirect 5:26 testing that we have are very indirect 5:26 testing that we have are very indirect and incomplete. The replication rates 5:28 and incomplete. The replication rates 5:28 and incomplete. The replication rates for parasite testing are extremely low. 5:30 for parasite testing are extremely low. 5:30 for parasite testing are extremely low. They're in the low 20th percentile. 5:32 They're in the low 20th percentile. 5:32 They're in the low 20th percentile. That's crazy. What that means is you can 5:34 That's crazy. What that means is you can 5:34 That's crazy. What that means is you can test the same poop specimen, so the same 5:37 test the same poop specimen, so the same 5:37 test the same poop specimen, so the same stool and get the same answer about 20% 5:41 stool and get the same answer about 20% 5:41 stool and get the same answer about 20% of the time. That's not a really good 5:44 of the time. That's not a really good 5:44 of the time. That's not a really good track record, is it? I don't think so. I 5:46 track record, is it? I don't think so. I 5:46 track record, is it? I don't think so. I don't feel comfortable with that. Why 5:47 don't feel comfortable with that. Why 5:47 don't feel comfortable with that. Why would parasites be such a big deal 5:49 would parasites be such a big deal 5:49 would parasites be such a big deal anyway? Well, actually, they've always 5:50 anyway? Well, actually, they've always 5:50 anyway? Well, actually, they've always been a big deal. We have parasite 5:52 been a big deal. We have parasite 5:52 been a big deal. We have parasite cleanses kind of built in to our 5:53 cleanses kind of built in to our 5:54 cleanses kind of built in to our indigenous knowledge on every continent 5:56 indigenous knowledge on every continent 5:56 indigenous knowledge on every continent and even to our cultural knowledge and 5:59 and even to our cultural knowledge and 5:59 and even to our cultural knowledge and even our religions um throughout the 6:02 even our religions um throughout the 6:02 even our religions um throughout the world up until very very recently. We 6:05 world up until very very recently. We 6:05 world up until very very recently. We lost this information just in the last 6:07 lost this information just in the last 6:07 lost this information just in the last few decades right when we need it the 6:10 few decades right when we need it the 6:10 few decades right when we need it the most because parasites will thrive in 6:12 most because parasites will thrive in 6:12 most because parasites will thrive in toxic terrain. What is toxic terrain? It 6:15 toxic terrain. What is toxic terrain? It 6:15 toxic terrain. What is toxic terrain? It means um an overloaded body with
What Parasites Actually Are 6:17 means um an overloaded body with 6:17 means um an overloaded body with exposures to toxicants like chemicals, 6:20 exposures to toxicants like chemicals, 6:20 exposures to toxicants like chemicals, heavy metals like we've been talking 6:21 heavy metals like we've been talking 6:21 heavy metals like we've been talking about the last couple of days. EMFs are 6:23 about the last couple of days. EMFs are 6:23 about the last couple of days. EMFs are very immune suppressive. So they 6:25 very immune suppressive. So they 6:25 very immune suppressive. So they actually open the door to parasites. 6:28 actually open the door to parasites. 6:28 actually open the door to parasites. That should be getting your attention, 6:29 That should be getting your attention, 6:29 That should be getting your attention, right? Your Wi-Fi router, your cell 6:31 right? Your Wi-Fi router, your cell 6:31 right? Your Wi-Fi router, your cell phone, your laptop, they are immune 6:33 phone, your laptop, they are immune 6:33 phone, your laptop, they are immune distorting and suppressive. And actually 6:36 distorting and suppressive. And actually 6:36 distorting and suppressive. And actually strains like E.coli and staff produce 6:39 strains like E.coli and staff produce 6:39 strains like E.coli and staff produce faster in the presence of Wi-Fi. your 6:42 faster in the presence of Wi-Fi. your 6:42 faster in the presence of Wi-Fi. your keystone small intestine species like 6:45 keystone small intestine species like 6:45 keystone small intestine species like Lactobacillus, 6:47 Lactobacillus, 6:47 Lactobacillus, you know, all those fun guys, they 6:49 you know, all those fun guys, they 6:49 you know, all those fun guys, they actually produce slower in the presence 6:51 actually produce slower in the presence 6:51 actually produce slower in the presence of Wi-Fi. So the bad bugs go into 6:53 of Wi-Fi. So the bad bugs go into 6:53 of Wi-Fi. So the bad bugs go into overdrive and the good bugs struggle to 6:56 overdrive and the good bugs struggle to 6:56 overdrive and the good bugs struggle to succeed. So even at a cellular level, 6:58 succeed. So even at a cellular level, 6:58 succeed. So even at a cellular level, even at just like a protozoa level, 7:00 even at just like a protozoa level, 7:00 even at just like a protozoa level, these single-sellled organisms like 7:02 these single-sellled organisms like 7:02 these single-sellled organisms like giardia, blastoystus homminus, 7:04 giardia, blastoystus homminus, 7:04 giardia, blastoystus homminus, cryptosparidium and taxoplasma gandhi, 7:07 cryptosparidium and taxoplasma gandhi, 7:07 cryptosparidium and taxoplasma gandhi, like these guys are running the show 7:09 like these guys are running the show 7:09 like these guys are running the show right now. E.coli is doing great. Fungal 7:12 right now. E.coli is doing great. Fungal 7:12 right now. E.coli is doing great. Fungal overgrowth are just running wild in this 7:15 overgrowth are just running wild in this 7:15 overgrowth are just running wild in this day and age of chemical exposures and 7:18 day and age of chemical exposures and 7:18 day and age of chemical exposures and birth control and pifas in the water and 7:20 birth control and pifas in the water and 7:20 birth control and pifas in the water and microplastics. Like they're just having 7:22 microplastics. Like they're just having 7:22 microplastics. Like they're just having a ball with that stuff. Meanwhile, the 7:25 a ball with that stuff. Meanwhile, the 7:25 a ball with that stuff. Meanwhile, the body itself is really struggling to keep 7:26 body itself is really struggling to keep 7:26 body itself is really struggling to keep up. Now, why would they do so well in in 7:29 up. Now, why would they do so well in in 7:29 up. Now, why would they do so well in in an environment with toxins? Because 7:32 an environment with toxins? Because 7:32 an environment with toxins? Because toxins are inflammatory. They're not 7:34 toxins are inflammatory. They're not 7:34 toxins are inflammatory. They're not biologically compatible for us, right? 7:37 biologically compatible for us, right? 7:37 biologically compatible for us, right? That's what makes them toxicants. That's 7:39 That's what makes them toxicants. That's 7:39 That's what makes them toxicants. That's what makes them irritating to us because 7:41 what makes them irritating to us because 7:41 what makes them irritating to us because parasites thrive in an unwell body. 7:44 parasites thrive in an unwell body. 7:44 parasites thrive in an unwell body. Parasites like stagnation. They like 7:46 Parasites like stagnation. They like 7:46 Parasites like stagnation. They like inflammation because it means they can 7:48 inflammation because it means they can 7:48 inflammation because it means they can run the show. So if that sounds like 7:51 run the show. So if that sounds like 7:51 run the show. So if that sounds like you, hey, I have more inflammation than 7:53 you, hey, I have more inflammation than 7:53 you, hey, I have more inflammation than I want. Hey, I have more brain fog than 7:54 I want. Hey, I have more brain fog than 7:54 I want. Hey, I have more brain fog than I want. Hey, my gut doesn't feel as 7:57 I want. Hey, my gut doesn't feel as 7:57 I want. Hey, my gut doesn't feel as great as I want it to. Hey, I just have 7:59 great as I want it to. Hey, I just have 7:59 great as I want it to. Hey, I just have these little signs, these achinesses in 8:01 these little signs, these achinesses in 8:01 these little signs, these achinesses in my joints. my lack of, you know, mental 8:04 my joints. my lack of, you know, mental 8:04 my joints. my lack of, you know, mental clarity, my lack of mental stamina, my 8:06 clarity, my lack of mental stamina, my 8:06 clarity, my lack of mental stamina, my lack of emotional self-control, then 8:09 lack of emotional self-control, then 8:09 lack of emotional self-control, then this is worth a deeper look for you. So, 8:11 this is worth a deeper look for you. So, 8:11 this is worth a deeper look for you. So, helmets are the bigger ones that are fun 8:13 helmets are the bigger ones that are fun 8:13 helmets are the bigger ones that are fun to look at on social media for sure. 8:15 to look at on social media for sure. 8:15 to look at on social media for sure. Those are like round worms and tapeworms 8:17 Those are like round worms and tapeworms 8:17 Those are like round worms and tapeworms and pinworms and hookworms. They're very 8:19 and pinworms and hookworms. They're very 8:19 and pinworms and hookworms. They're very cool. They're very scary looking. My 8:21 cool. They're very scary looking. My 8:21 cool. They're very scary looking. My favorite are the flukes. Those are liver 8:22 favorite are the flukes. Those are liver 8:22 favorite are the flukes. Those are liver flukes and intestinal flukes because 8:24 flukes and intestinal flukes because 8:24 flukes and intestinal flukes because they're so good at sneaking in on your 8:27 they're so good at sneaking in on your 8:27 they're so good at sneaking in on your food. We've all been exposed. It's just 8:29 food. We've all been exposed. It's just 8:29 food. We've all been exposed. It's just a question of are you a good host or 8:30 a question of are you a good host or 8:30 a question of are you a good host or not? Was your immune system in a 8:32 not? Was your immune system in a 8:32 not? Was your immune system in a position to fight them off? So those 8:35 position to fight them off? So those 8:35 position to fight them off? So those guys burrow into your liver and hang on 8:37 guys burrow into your liver and hang on 8:37 guys burrow into your liver and hang on there long term. They just enter through 8:39 there long term. They just enter through 8:39 there long term. They just enter through contaminated water, undercooked meat, 8:40 contaminated water, undercooked meat, 8:40 contaminated water, undercooked meat, produce, soil, contact with pets, small 8:43 produce, soil, contact with pets, small 8:43 produce, soil, contact with pets, small kiddos, and travel. But the standard 8:45 kiddos, and travel. But the standard 8:45 kiddos, and travel. But the standard stool panels miss the majority of 8:46 stool panels miss the majority of 8:46 stool panels miss the majority of clinically relevant infections. And so 8:49 clinically relevant infections. And so 8:49 clinically relevant infections. And so that is the bummer about um parasites 8:51 that is the bummer about um parasites 8:51 that is the bummer about um parasites and understanding whether or not you 8:53 and understanding whether or not you 8:53 and understanding whether or not you have them. That the absence of a 8:56 have them. That the absence of a 8:56 have them. That the absence of a diagnosis is not the absence of an
How Parasites Affect The Brain 8:59 diagnosis is not the absence of an 8:59 diagnosis is not the absence of an infection. Here's how I want you to 9:00 infection. Here's how I want you to 9:00 infection. Here's how I want you to think about this and why it matters to 9:02 think about this and why it matters to 9:02 think about this and why it matters to you today. Because parasites are so good 9:04 you today. Because parasites are so good 9:04 you today. Because parasites are so good at producing ammonia and other 9:06 at producing ammonia and other 9:06 at producing ammonia and other neurotoxic metabolic waste directly into 9:09 neurotoxic metabolic waste directly into 9:09 neurotoxic metabolic waste directly into the gut and bloodstream and ammonia 9:11 the gut and bloodstream and ammonia 9:11 the gut and bloodstream and ammonia crosses the bloodb brain barrier and 9:13 crosses the bloodb brain barrier and 9:13 crosses the bloodb brain barrier and impairs neurological function on 9:16 impairs neurological function on 9:16 impairs neurological function on contact. So where's the ammonia coming 9:18 contact. So where's the ammonia coming 9:18 contact. So where's the ammonia coming from? Parasites. What kind of parasites? 9:20 from? Parasites. What kind of parasites? 9:20 from? Parasites. What kind of parasites? Actually all of them can do this. 9:22 Actually all of them can do this. 9:22 Actually all of them can do this. Ammonia and aldahhides. Um very very 9:24 Ammonia and aldahhides. Um very very 9:24 Ammonia and aldahhides. Um very very [clears throat] easy to make those. 9:25 [clears throat] easy to make those. 9:25 [clears throat] easy to make those. That's what endotoxins are. Endotoxins 9:28 That's what endotoxins are. Endotoxins 9:28 That's what endotoxins are. Endotoxins are the poison that parasites make. It's 9:31 are the poison that parasites make. It's 9:31 are the poison that parasites make. It's like their poop and pee. Crosses their 9:33 like their poop and pee. Crosses their 9:33 like their poop and pee. Crosses their bloodb brain barrier with ease and 9:35 bloodb brain barrier with ease and 9:35 bloodb brain barrier with ease and starts instantly impairing neurological 9:38 starts instantly impairing neurological 9:38 starts instantly impairing neurological function. They are also really good at 9:39 function. They are also really good at 9:39 function. They are also really good at siphoning nutrients like zinc, B12, 9:42 siphoning nutrients like zinc, B12, 9:42 siphoning nutrients like zinc, B12, magnesium, tryptophen. We love 9:44 magnesium, tryptophen. We love 9:44 magnesium, tryptophen. We love tryptophan. What is that a precursor 9:46 tryptophan. What is that a precursor 9:46 tryptophan. What is that a precursor for? Really important transmitter 9:48 for? Really important transmitter 9:48 for? Really important transmitter neurotransmitters. We'll talk about that 9:49 neurotransmitters. We'll talk about that 9:49 neurotransmitters. We'll talk about that in a second. That's really important to 9:51 in a second. That's really important to 9:51 in a second. That's really important to understand. These are all direct 9:53 understand. These are all direct 9:53 understand. These are all direct precursors to neurotransmitter 9:54 precursors to neurotransmitter 9:54 precursors to neurotransmitter production and they steal them from you. 9:56 production and they steal them from you. 9:56 production and they steal them from you. Parasites will steal those from you 9:58 Parasites will steal those from you 9:58 Parasites will steal those from you because they like them too. They want to 10:00 because they like them too. They want to 10:00 because they like them too. They want to thrive. They want to feel good and they 10:02 thrive. They want to feel good and they 10:02 thrive. They want to feel good and they don't want you to thrive and feel good. 10:03 don't want you to thrive and feel good. 10:03 don't want you to thrive and feel good. They want you on the back foot. But that 10:05 They want you on the back foot. But that 10:05 They want you on the back foot. But that means that you don't feel like yourself. 10:07 means that you don't feel like yourself. 10:07 means that you don't feel like yourself. So, they're literally distorting and 10:08 So, they're literally distorting and 10:08 So, they're literally distorting and stealing your good feelings from you. 10:10 stealing your good feelings from you. 10:10 stealing your good feelings from you. That's weird, too, isn't it? They 10:12 That's weird, too, isn't it? They 10:12 That's weird, too, isn't it? They disrupt gut integrity, increasing 10:14 disrupt gut integrity, increasing 10:14 disrupt gut integrity, increasing intestinal permeability and amplifying 10:16 intestinal permeability and amplifying 10:16 intestinal permeability and amplifying systemic inflammation that drives 10:18 systemic inflammation that drives 10:18 systemic inflammation that drives neuroinflammation. But actually, we do 10:21 neuroinflammation. But actually, we do 10:21 neuroinflammation. But actually, we do know how to do it. We do know how to 10:23 know how to do it. We do know how to 10:23 know how to do it. We do know how to heal from difficult life challenges. So 10:25 heal from difficult life challenges. So 10:26 heal from difficult life challenges. So if you feel stuck, there can be some 10:28 if you feel stuck, there can be some 10:28 if you feel stuck, there can be some deeper physiological issues um that your 10:31 deeper physiological issues um that your 10:31 deeper physiological issues um that your body is asking for support from. That's 10:32 body is asking for support from. That's 10:32 body is asking for support from. That's why we never address the brain as if it 10:35 why we never address the brain as if it 10:35 why we never address the brain as if it is separate from the body because it's 10:37 is separate from the body because it's 10:37 is separate from the body because it's not. Remember how we talked about on day 10:39 not. Remember how we talked about on day 10:39 not. Remember how we talked about on day one the brain drains last. Learning all 10:41 one the brain drains last. Learning all 10:41 one the brain drains last. Learning all about the glimpmphatic system. How is 10:44 about the glimpmphatic system. How is 10:44 about the glimpmphatic system. How is your brain supposed to clean itself out 10:46 your brain supposed to clean itself out 10:46 your brain supposed to clean itself out and maintain an anti-inflammatory state 10:49 and maintain an anti-inflammatory state 10:49 and maintain an anti-inflammatory state if it's getting dosed with all of these 10:52 if it's getting dosed with all of these 10:52 if it's getting dosed with all of these endotoxins from parasites constantly 10:54 endotoxins from parasites constantly 10:54 endotoxins from parasites constantly that are super inflammatory? If it's 10:56 that are super inflammatory? If it's 10:56 that are super inflammatory? If it's getting its precursors for 10:57 getting its precursors for 10:57 getting its precursors for neurotransmitters stolen by these 10:59 neurotransmitters stolen by these 10:59 neurotransmitters stolen by these parasites, big problem, right? When we 11:02 parasites, big problem, right? When we 11:02 parasites, big problem, right? When we think about this, what else does do 11:03 think about this, what else does do 11:03 think about this, what else does do parasites do? They activate the immune 11:05 parasites do? They activate the immune 11:05 parasites do? They activate the immune system chronically, sustaining the 11:06 system chronically, sustaining the 11:06 system chronically, sustaining the cytoine driven neurotransmitter 11:08 cytoine driven neurotransmitter 11:08 cytoine driven neurotransmitter suppression. Remember cytoines and the 11:10 suppression. Remember cytoines and the 11:10 suppression. Remember cytoines and the immune system, how the immune system and 11:12 immune system, how the immune system and 11:12 immune system, how the immune system and the neur your neurology are always 11:14 the neur your neurology are always 11:14 the neur your neurology are always talking to each other. It's a dialogue 11:16 talking to each other. It's a dialogue 11:16 talking to each other. It's a dialogue constantly. Should I be inflamed? Yes, 11:18 constantly. Should I be inflamed? Yes, 11:18 constantly. Should I be inflamed? Yes, you should. Should you be inflamed? Yes, 11:20 you should. Should you be inflamed? Yes, 11:20 you should. Should you be inflamed? Yes, you should. We should be inflamed. Let's 11:21 you should. We should be inflamed. Let's 11:21 you should. We should be inflamed. Let's be inflamed together. And so, you're 11:23 be inflamed together. And so, you're 11:23 be inflamed together. And so, you're getting all of your energy wasted on 11:26 getting all of your energy wasted on 11:26 getting all of your energy wasted on defense instead of repair when you don't 11:30 defense instead of repair when you don't 11:30 defense instead of repair when you don't feel safe. Why would you not feel safe? 11:32 feel safe. Why would you not feel safe? 11:32 feel safe. Why would you not feel safe? It could be signals coming in from the 11:33 It could be signals coming in from the 11:34 It could be signals coming in from the outside world or from the internal 11:36 outside world or from the internal 11:36 outside world or from the internal terrain from the toxicants and the 11:38 terrain from the toxicants and the 11:38 terrain from the toxicants and the parasites. So what else can parasites 11:40 parasites. So what else can parasites 11:40 parasites. So what else can parasites do? Oh yeah, they can manipulate host 11:42 do? Oh yeah, they can manipulate host 11:42 do? Oh yeah, they can manipulate host behavior. There's so much clinical data 11:45 behavior. There's so much clinical data 11:45 behavior. There's so much clinical data about this. It just boggles my mind that 11:48 about this. It just boggles my mind that 11:48 about this. It just boggles my mind that it's not being shared broadly in 11:50 it's not being shared broadly in 11:50 it's not being shared broadly in medicine and this isn't one of our first 11:51 medicine and this isn't one of our first 11:52 medicine and this isn't one of our first stops because it used to be. Farmers 11:53 stops because it used to be. Farmers 11:54 stops because it used to be. Farmers would go handle the herd and give the 11:56 would go handle the herd and give the 11:56 would go handle the herd and give the herd a parasite cleanse and come in and 11:57 herd a parasite cleanse and come in and 11:57 herd a parasite cleanse and come in and give their family the same stuff, same 12:00 give their family the same stuff, same 12:00 give their family the same stuff, same herbs. parasite cleanse time, you know, 12:01 herbs. parasite cleanse time, you know, 12:01 herbs. parasite cleanse time, you know, change of seasons. Let's keep the 12:03 change of seasons. Let's keep the 12:03 change of seasons. Let's keep the overgrowths at bay. This was normal just 12:05 overgrowths at bay. This was normal just 12:05 overgrowths at bay. This was normal just a couple decades ago even and it still 12:08 a couple decades ago even and it still 12:08 a couple decades ago even and it still is in certain parts of the world. We've 12:09 is in certain parts of the world. We've 12:09 is in certain parts of the world. We've just lost it here for the moment. They 12:11 just lost it here for the moment. They 12:11 just lost it here for the moment. They do manipulate host behavior like um 12:13 do manipulate host behavior like um 12:13 do manipulate host behavior like um toxoplasma Gandhi. a ton of studies 12:15 toxoplasma Gandhi. a ton of studies 12:15 toxoplasma Gandhi. a ton of studies about how it directly alters dopamine 12:18 about how it directly alters dopamine 12:18 about how it directly alters dopamine metabolism in the brain to serve its 12:21 metabolism in the brain to serve its 12:21 metabolism in the brain to serve its reproductive cycle. For the pills, you 12:23 reproductive cycle. For the pills, you 12:23 reproductive cycle. For the pills, you actually get riskier behavior with 12:25 actually get riskier behavior with 12:25 actually get riskier behavior with toxopplasma and um it actually shows up 12:29 toxopplasma and um it actually shows up 12:29 toxopplasma and um it actually shows up differently in men and women. More 12:30 differently in men and women. More 12:30 differently in men and women. More aggression in men, more um 12:33 aggression in men, more um 12:33 aggression in men, more um submissiveness to risky scary situations 12:35 submissiveness to risky scary situations 12:36 submissiveness to risky scary situations in women. This is not an accident. This 12:38 in women. This is not an accident. This 12:38 in women. This is not an accident. This is parasites running the show and 12:40 is parasites running the show and 12:40 is parasites running the show and distorting your thinking and behavior. 12:42 distorting your thinking and behavior. 12:42 distorting your thinking and behavior. also um greater tendency towards car 12:44 also um greater tendency towards car 12:44 also um greater tendency towards car accidents, towards self harm with 12:46 accidents, towards self harm with 12:46 accidents, towards self harm with certain parasites. Like the the studies 12:48 certain parasites. Like the the studies 12:48 certain parasites. Like the the studies are wild, guys, the more you look into 12:50 are wild, guys, the more you look into 12:50 are wild, guys, the more you look into this. I'm not telling you this to scare 12:52 this. I'm not telling you this to scare 12:52 this. I'm not telling you this to scare you. I'm telling you this because it's a 12:54 you. I'm telling you this because it's a 12:54 you. I'm telling you this because it's a very flexible thing and you can do it at 12:57 very flexible thing and you can do it at 12:57 very flexible thing and you can do it at home at a pace that's right for you and 12:59 home at a pace that's right for you and 12:59 home at a pace that's right for you and you can be in control of your own 13:01 you can be in control of your own 13:01 you can be in control of your own future. That's the whole reason why we 13:04 future. That's the whole reason why we 13:04 future. That's the whole reason why we would even bother talking about this.
Parasites + Gut-Brain Axis 13:05 would even bother talking about this. 13:05 would even bother talking about this. So, parasites and the gut brain access. 13:07 So, parasites and the gut brain access. 13:07 So, parasites and the gut brain access. Who's heard about the gut brain access? 13:08 Who's heard about the gut brain access? 13:08 Who's heard about the gut brain access? Oh, yeah. You know, the gut and the 13:10 Oh, yeah. You know, the gut and the 13:10 Oh, yeah. You know, the gut and the brain, they're talking to each other. 13:11 brain, they're talking to each other. 13:11 brain, they're talking to each other. Blah, blah, blah. Sinclair. Let's talk 13:12 Blah, blah, blah. Sinclair. Let's talk 13:12 Blah, blah, blah. Sinclair. Let's talk about it from a neurochemical lens, 13:14 about it from a neurochemical lens, 13:14 about it from a neurochemical lens, though. 90% of serotonin is produced in 13:17 though. 90% of serotonin is produced in 13:17 though. 90% of serotonin is produced in the gut. Do you guys remember what 13:18 the gut. Do you guys remember what 13:18 the gut. Do you guys remember what serotonin is? It's our good feelings. 13:20 serotonin is? It's our good feelings. 13:20 serotonin is? It's our good feelings. Dopamine precursors are also synthesized 13:23 Dopamine precursors are also synthesized 13:23 Dopamine precursors are also synthesized in the gut. Now, dopamine has been like 13:26 in the gut. Now, dopamine has been like 13:26 in the gut. Now, dopamine has been like synthesized down to just the reward 13:28 synthesized down to just the reward 13:28 synthesized down to just the reward molecule. It's so much more than that. 13:29 molecule. It's so much more than that. 13:29 molecule. It's so much more than that. We're going to talk about dopamine and 13:30 We're going to talk about dopamine and 13:30 We're going to talk about dopamine and serotonin today and how magnificent and 13:33 serotonin today and how magnificent and 13:33 serotonin today and how magnificent and complex they actually are as chemicals 13:35 complex they actually are as chemicals 13:36 complex they actually are as chemicals for you and how to get them back. So and 13:37 for you and how to get them back. So and 13:37 for you and how to get them back. So and also we want to acknowledge that the 13:39 also we want to acknowledge that the 13:39 also we want to acknowledge that the vagus nerve carries birectional signals 13:41 vagus nerve carries birectional signals 13:41 vagus nerve carries birectional signals between the interic which is the 13:43 between the interic which is the 13:43 between the interic which is the intestinal nervous system which is 13:45 intestinal nervous system which is 13:45 intestinal nervous system which is really the first brain of the body and 13:47 really the first brain of the body and 13:47 really the first brain of the body and the brain itself. So when parasites 13:49 the brain itself. So when parasites 13:50 the brain itself. So when parasites compromise gut integrity 13:51 compromise gut integrity 13:51 compromise gut integrity neurotransmitter precursor production is 13:53 neurotransmitter precursor production is 13:53 neurotransmitter precursor production is disrupted at the source. Inflammatory 13:55 disrupted at the source. Inflammatory 13:55 disrupted at the source. Inflammatory signals travel directly to the brain via 13:58 signals travel directly to the brain via 13:58 signals travel directly to the brain via the veagal pathway. That's a bummer 14:01 the veagal pathway. That's a bummer 14:01 the veagal pathway. That's a bummer dude. What does that mean? inflammatory 14:04 dude. What does that mean? inflammatory 14:04 dude. What does that mean? inflammatory signals travel directly to the brain via 14:06 signals travel directly to the brain via 14:06 signals travel directly to the brain via the veagal pathway. So when parasites 14:08 the veagal pathway. So when parasites 14:08 the veagal pathway. So when parasites are excreting their irritating 14:10 are excreting their irritating 14:10 are excreting their irritating endotoxins, increasing ROS, releasing 14:13 endotoxins, increasing ROS, releasing 14:13 endotoxins, increasing ROS, releasing ammonia, we're actually getting 14:15 ammonia, we're actually getting 14:15 ammonia, we're actually getting immediate signals from the entic nervous 14:17 immediate signals from the entic nervous 14:17 immediate signals from the entic nervous system all the way to the brain. Oops, 14:19 system all the way to the brain. Oops, 14:19 system all the way to the brain. Oops, we got some inflammation down here. It's 14:21 we got some inflammation down here. It's 14:21 we got some inflammation down here. It's not good down here. Don't feel safe 14:22 not good down here. Don't feel safe 14:22 not good down here. Don't feel safe right now, please. And the gut 14:24 right now, please. And the gut 14:24 right now, please. And the gut microbiome, of course, which regulates 14:25 microbiome, of course, which regulates 14:25 microbiome, of course, which regulates much of this production, becomes 14:27 much of this production, becomes 14:27 much of this production, becomes destabilized when parasites are present. 14:29 destabilized when parasites are present. 14:29 destabilized when parasites are present. The gut is not separate from the brain. 14:30 The gut is not separate from the brain. 14:30 The gut is not separate from the brain. what parasites do to the gut they do to 14:32 what parasites do to the gut they do to 14:32 what parasites do to the gut they do to the brain's chemistry. So toxopplasma is
Toxoplasma 14:35 the brain's chemistry. So toxopplasma is 14:35 the brain's chemistry. So toxopplasma is estimated to infect roughly one-third of 14:36 estimated to infect roughly one-third of 14:36 estimated to infect roughly one-third of the global population. I think it's 14:38 the global population. I think it's 14:38 the global population. I think it's actually higher than that. Those 14:39 actually higher than that. Those 14:39 actually higher than that. Those estimates usually seem a little low. 14:41 estimates usually seem a little low. 14:41 estimates usually seem a little low. Imunocompetent adults it's often 14:43 Imunocompetent adults it's often 14:43 Imunocompetent adults it's often asymptomatic but that framing is 14:45 asymptomatic but that framing is 14:45 asymptomatic but that framing is increasingly contested. What does that 14:46 increasingly contested. What does that 14:46 increasingly contested. What does that mean? You can have it and not know it 14:49 mean? You can have it and not know it 14:49 mean? You can have it and not know it because it's doesn't seem like it's 14:51 because it's doesn't seem like it's 14:51 because it's doesn't seem like it's running the show but it's still creating 14:53 running the show but it's still creating 14:53 running the show but it's still creating distortion in the background of your 14:55 distortion in the background of your 14:55 distortion in the background of your thinking, of your physical health, all 14:58 thinking, of your physical health, all 14:58 thinking, of your physical health, all of that. Toxopplasma forms cysts in the 15:00 of that. Toxopplasma forms cysts in the 15:00 of that. Toxopplasma forms cysts in the amygdala and other lybic structures. 15:03 amygdala and other lybic structures. 15:03 amygdala and other lybic structures. Isn't that weird? Did you know that 15:05 Isn't that weird? Did you know that 15:05 Isn't that weird? Did you know that cysts can be a part of the reproductive 15:07 cysts can be a part of the reproductive 15:08 cysts can be a part of the reproductive cycle of parasites? Not just some 15:10 cycle of parasites? Not just some 15:10 cycle of parasites? Not just some parasites. Many parasites have this as a 15:13 parasites. Many parasites have this as a 15:13 parasites. Many parasites have this as a strategy. Ovarian cysts, uterine cysts, 15:16 strategy. Ovarian cysts, uterine cysts, 15:16 strategy. Ovarian cysts, uterine cysts, liver cysts, brain cysts, like I want 15:18 liver cysts, brain cysts, like I want 15:18 liver cysts, brain cysts, like I want you thinking about all these things in 15:20 you thinking about all these things in 15:20 you thinking about all these things in new light. Also, what else happens with 15:23 new light. Also, what else happens with 15:23 new light. Also, what else happens with toxopplasma? It can directly upregulate 15:25 toxopplasma? It can directly upregulate 15:25 toxopplasma? It can directly upregulate dopamine production in infected neurons 15:27 dopamine production in infected neurons 15:27 dopamine production in infected neurons creating dopamine dysregulation. 15:30 creating dopamine dysregulation. 15:30 creating dopamine dysregulation. Toxopplasma likes dopamine. It likes you 15:32 Toxopplasma likes dopamine. It likes you 15:32 Toxopplasma likes dopamine. It likes you to be like kind of overstimulated and 15:35 to be like kind of overstimulated and 15:35 to be like kind of overstimulated and kind of acting a little wild because 15:37 kind of acting a little wild because 15:37 kind of acting a little wild because that means that it can propagate more 15:39 that means that it can propagate more 15:39 that means that it can propagate more easily. There's lots of jokes about 15:41 easily. There's lots of jokes about 15:41 easily. There's lots of jokes about toxopplasma Gandhi being cat scratch 15:43 toxopplasma Gandhi being cat scratch 15:43 toxopplasma Gandhi being cat scratch fever being more sexually promiscuous on 15:45 fever being more sexually promiscuous on 15:45 fever being more sexually promiscuous on Toxopplasma Gandhi desiring multiple 15:48 Toxopplasma Gandhi desiring multiple 15:48 Toxopplasma Gandhi desiring multiple partners on Toxopplasma Gandhi 15:49 partners on Toxopplasma Gandhi 15:50 partners on Toxopplasma Gandhi submissive behavior in risky situations 15:52 submissive behavior in risky situations 15:52 submissive behavior in risky situations or aggressive behavior. So it's 15:54 or aggressive behavior. So it's 15:54 or aggressive behavior. So it's associated with research um and 15:56 associated with research um and 15:56 associated with research um and increased impulsivity risk-taking and 15:58 increased impulsivity risk-taking and 15:58 increased impulsivity risk-taking and slowed reaction time. It's also linked 16:00 slowed reaction time. It's also linked 16:00 slowed reaction time. It's also linked in epidemiological studies with higher 16:02 in epidemiological studies with higher 16:02 in epidemiological studies with higher rates of anxiety, mood disorders, 16:04 rates of anxiety, mood disorders, 16:04 rates of anxiety, mood disorders, schizophrenia spectrum conditions. 16:06 schizophrenia spectrum conditions. 16:06 schizophrenia spectrum conditions. Anytime I hear about somebody 16:08 Anytime I hear about somebody 16:08 Anytime I hear about somebody selfharming or even taking their own 16:11 selfharming or even taking their own 16:11 selfharming or even taking their own life, I immediately wonder what 16:12 life, I immediately wonder what 16:12 life, I immediately wonder what parasites did they have and if had they 16:15 parasites did they have and if had they 16:15 parasites did they have and if had they been exposed to mold and heavy metals. 16:17 been exposed to mold and heavy metals. 16:17 been exposed to mold and heavy metals. It is that profound how these exposures 16:20 It is that profound how these exposures 16:20 It is that profound how these exposures can distort our way of being and our 16:23 can distort our way of being and our 16:23 can distort our way of being and our access to who we really are. Humans 16:25 access to who we really are. Humans 16:25 access to who we really are. Humans don't want to die. That's not a human 16:27 don't want to die. That's not a human 16:27 don't want to die. That's not a human impulse until we reach a very natural 16:30 impulse until we reach a very natural 16:30 impulse until we reach a very natural end conclusion. Humans have a deep, deep 16:32 end conclusion. Humans have a deep, deep 16:32 end conclusion. Humans have a deep, deep desire to live, to connect with each 16:34 desire to live, to connect with each 16:34 desire to live, to connect with each other, to expand, to learn. Humans are 16:37 other, to expand, to learn. Humans are 16:37 other, to expand, to learn. Humans are curious. Humans are positive. Humans are 16:39 curious. Humans are positive. Humans are 16:40 curious. Humans are positive. Humans are supportive. Humans are generous. And if 16:41 supportive. Humans are generous. And if 16:41 supportive. Humans are generous. And if you don't feel like that, you don't have 16:44 you don't feel like that, you don't have 16:44 you don't feel like that, you don't have access to the best of who you are right 16:47 access to the best of who you are right 16:47 access to the best of who you are right now. And that's okay because it's all 16:48 now. And that's okay because it's all 16:48 now. And that's okay because it's all fixable. But don't believe what you see 16:51 fixable. But don't believe what you see 16:51 fixable. But don't believe what you see on social media. There's some 16:53 on social media. There's some 16:53 on social media. There's some distortions happening right now. And 16:54 distortions happening right now. And 16:54 distortions happening right now. And it's because of the toxic exposures. 16:57 it's because of the toxic exposures. 16:57 it's because of the toxic exposures. It's because the parasites are running 16:59 It's because the parasites are running 16:59 It's because the parasites are running the show because of those toxic 17:00 the show because of those toxic 17:00 the show because of those toxic exposures. You're still an incredible, 17:04 exposures. You're still an incredible, 17:04 exposures. You're still an incredible, incredible, beautiful, brilliant, worthy 17:06 incredible, beautiful, brilliant, worthy 17:06 incredible, beautiful, brilliant, worthy human, and so are all the people around 17:08 human, and so are all the people around 17:08 human, and so are all the people around you. You may not have access to those 17:10 you. You may not have access to those 17:10 you. You may not have access to those feelings right now, and they may not 17:12 feelings right now, and they may not 17:12 feelings right now, and they may not either. But it doesn't mean we give up. 17:13 either. But it doesn't mean we give up. 17:14 either. But it doesn't mean we give up. It means we dig in. We get smart. We 17:16 It means we dig in. We get smart. We 17:16 It means we dig in. We get smart. We become the CEOs of our own health to get 17:19 become the CEOs of our own health to get 17:19 become the CEOs of our own health to get our own emotions and our own thoughts, 17:22 our own emotions and our own thoughts, 17:22 our own emotions and our own thoughts, our own instincts back so that parasites
Understanding Neurotransmitters 17:25 our own instincts back so that parasites 17:25 our own instincts back so that parasites don't run the shell. And that's where we 17:26 don't run the shell. And that's where we 17:26 don't run the shell. And that's where we want to learn about the 17:27 want to learn about the 17:27 want to learn about the neurotransmitters. So these are those 17:29 neurotransmitters. So these are those 17:29 neurotransmitters. So these are those yummy chemicals. That's the chemical 17:31 yummy chemicals. That's the chemical 17:31 yummy chemicals. That's the chemical language of the nervous system. Every 17:33 language of the nervous system. Every 17:33 language of the nervous system. Every cognitive function, every emotional 17:35 cognitive function, every emotional 17:35 cognitive function, every emotional state, every behavioral pattern you 17:37 state, every behavioral pattern you 17:37 state, every behavioral pattern you experience, every decision you make is 17:40 experience, every decision you make is 17:40 experience, every decision you make is mediated by these signaling molecules. 17:43 mediated by these signaling molecules. 17:43 mediated by these signaling molecules. They are produced, released, received, 17:46 They are produced, released, received, 17:46 They are produced, released, received, recycled, and degraded in response to 17:49 recycled, and degraded in response to 17:49 recycled, and degraded in response to nutrition, to sleep, to stress, to toxic 17:52 nutrition, to sleep, to stress, to toxic 17:52 nutrition, to sleep, to stress, to toxic burden, to infection. So simply put they 17:55 burden, to infection. So simply put they 17:55 burden, to infection. So simply put they are responding and produced within your 17:57 are responding and produced within your 17:57 are responding and produced within your terrain. Your terrain meaning you know 18:00 terrain. Your terrain meaning you know 18:00 terrain. Your terrain meaning you know the cells and extracellular matrix of 18:01 the cells and extracellular matrix of 18:01 the cells and extracellular matrix of your body your tissues you your meat 18:03 your body your tissues you your meat 18:03 your body your tissues you your meat suit that's where your neurochemicals 18:05 suit that's where your neurochemicals 18:05 suit that's where your neurochemicals are happening. Now do we want to 18:07 are happening. Now do we want to 18:07 are happening. Now do we want to medicate over the top of problems and so 18:10 medicate over the top of problems and so 18:10 medicate over the top of problems and so we want to be intentional about the 18:11 we want to be intentional about the 18:11 we want to be intentional about the tools that are available out there. The 18:13 tools that are available out there. The 18:13 tools that are available out there. The more people learn about their own 18:16 more people learn about their own 18:16 more people learn about their own neurochemistry, there's like a weird 18:18 neurochemistry, there's like a weird 18:18 neurochemistry, there's like a weird side effect that happens in the mental 18:21 side effect that happens in the mental 18:21 side effect that happens in the mental health world, in the personal 18:22 health world, in the personal 18:22 health world, in the personal development world, and even in 18:23 development world, and even in 18:23 development world, and even in functional medicine, it's almost like 18:25 functional medicine, it's almost like 18:25 functional medicine, it's almost like still talking like your brain is 18:26 still talking like your brain is 18:26 still talking like your brain is divorced from your body and like, oh 18:28 divorced from your body and like, oh 18:28 divorced from your body and like, oh yeah, we can do like gut health stuff, 18:29 yeah, we can do like gut health stuff, 18:30 yeah, we can do like gut health stuff, but when it comes to the brain, let's 18:32 but when it comes to the brain, let's 18:32 but when it comes to the brain, let's just tell it to shut up and play along 18:34 just tell it to shut up and play along 18:34 just tell it to shut up and play along like a good little soldier. And that's 18:36 like a good little soldier. And that's 18:36 like a good little soldier. And that's actually not getting back to the 18:39 actually not getting back to the 18:39 actually not getting back to the exquisitess of you, into your own 18:41 exquisitess of you, into your own 18:41 exquisitess of you, into your own brilliance. You're going to get back 18:42 brilliance. You're going to get back 18:42 brilliance. You're going to get back into your own brilliance, not by 18:44 into your own brilliance, not by 18:44 into your own brilliance, not by micromanaging these neurochemicals from 18:46 micromanaging these neurochemicals from 18:46 micromanaging these neurochemicals from the outside in, but by understanding the 18:49 the outside in, but by understanding the 18:49 the outside in, but by understanding the interferences and going after the 18:51 interferences and going after the 18:51 interferences and going after the interferences because there's not that 18:53 interferences because there's not that 18:53 interferences because there's not that many interferences. There's only a few. 18:55 many interferences. There's only a few. 18:55 many interferences. There's only a few. There's chemicals, heavy metals, mold, 18:59 There's chemicals, heavy metals, mold, 18:59 There's chemicals, heavy metals, mold, parasites, EMFs. Those are the 19:02 parasites, EMFs. Those are the 19:02 parasites, EMFs. Those are the interferences. Those are the blockers of 19:04 interferences. Those are the blockers of 19:04 interferences. Those are the blockers of your ability to create your own feelings 19:08 your ability to create your own feelings 19:08 your ability to create your own feelings and decisions. And if we want to become 19:11 and decisions. And if we want to become 19:11 and decisions. And if we want to become back to who we really are and be able to 19:14 back to who we really are and be able to 19:14 back to who we really are and be able to see things through that are important to 19:16 see things through that are important to 19:16 see things through that are important to us, live by our own real values and be 19:19 us, live by our own real values and be 19:19 us, live by our own real values and be our own creative, curious, generous 19:23 our own creative, curious, generous 19:23 our own creative, curious, generous selves, let's become experts at these 19:25 selves, let's become experts at these 19:25 selves, let's become experts at these interferences and how to resolve them at 19:27 interferences and how to resolve them at 19:27 interferences and how to resolve them at home.

Thank you so much for being an essential part of 19:58 so much for being an essential part of 19:58 so much for being an essential part of it. We love supporting you. So glutamate
Glutamate In The Brain 20:01 it. We love supporting you. So glutamate 20:01 it. We love supporting you. So glutamate is a really important one to understand 20:02 is a really important one to understand 20:02 is a really important one to understand in this process because you may be 20:04 in this process because you may be 20:04 in this process because you may be accidentally jacking yourself up with 20:07 accidentally jacking yourself up with 20:07 accidentally jacking yourself up with irritability and overwhelm if you don't 20:09 irritability and overwhelm if you don't 20:09 irritability and overwhelm if you don't understand how glutamate works. 20:11 understand how glutamate works. 20:11 understand how glutamate works. Glutamate is the brain's primary 20:12 Glutamate is the brain's primary 20:12 Glutamate is the brain's primary excitatory neurotransmitter. It's the 20:14 excitatory neurotransmitter. It's the 20:14 excitatory neurotransmitter. It's the accelerator for the nervous system. What 20:16 accelerator for the nervous system. What 20:16 accelerator for the nervous system. What does it do? It drives learning, memory 20:18 does it do? It drives learning, memory 20:18 does it do? It drives learning, memory formation, synaptic plasticity. All 20:20 formation, synaptic plasticity. All 20:20 formation, synaptic plasticity. All those sound great, don't they? Yes, 20:22 those sound great, don't they? Yes, 20:22 those sound great, don't they? Yes, please. We'll take more of that. And 20:23 please. We'll take more of that. And 20:23 please. We'll take more of that. And cognitive activation. Yeah, in 20:26 cognitive activation. Yeah, in 20:26 cognitive activation. Yeah, in appropriate amounts, glutamate is 20:27 appropriate amounts, glutamate is 20:27 appropriate amounts, glutamate is essential. But in excess it does become 20:30 essential. But in excess it does become 20:30 essential. But in excess it does become neurotoxic and it starts to become to be 20:33 neurotoxic and it starts to become to be 20:33 neurotoxic and it starts to become to be processed as an inflammatory experience. 20:37 processed as an inflammatory experience. 20:37 processed as an inflammatory experience. This is a process called exyitotoxicity. 20:39 This is a process called exyitotoxicity. 20:39 This is a process called exyitotoxicity. If glutamate is elevated or poorly 20:41 If glutamate is elevated or poorly 20:41 If glutamate is elevated or poorly regulated, neurons fire excessively and 20:44 regulated, neurons fire excessively and 20:44 regulated, neurons fire excessively and they're damaged or destroyed by their 20:46 they're damaged or destroyed by their 20:46 they're damaged or destroyed by their own activity. So they get excited, 20:47 own activity. So they get excited, 20:47 own activity. So they get excited, excited, agitated, agitated, agitated, 20:50 excited, agitated, agitated, agitated, 20:50 excited, agitated, agitated, agitated, rash, dead. And the brain stays in a 20:52 rash, dead. And the brain stays in a 20:52 rash, dead. And the brain stays in a chronic state of activation and it 20:54 chronic state of activation and it 20:54 chronic state of activation and it cannot come down and self-regulate and 20:58 cannot come down and self-regulate and 20:58 cannot come down and self-regulate and self soothe. Anybody wish they had the 21:00 self soothe. Anybody wish they had the 21:00 self soothe. Anybody wish they had the ability to self soo more? I'm going to 21:02 ability to self soo more? I'm going to 21:02 ability to self soo more? I'm going to show you what that is in a second. So if 21:04 show you what that is in a second. So if 21:04 show you what that is in a second. So if you have a tendency towards anxiety, 21:06 you have a tendency towards anxiety, 21:06 you have a tendency towards anxiety, agitation, hyper sensitivity, and racing 21:09 agitation, hyper sensitivity, and racing 21:09 agitation, hyper sensitivity, and racing thoughts, that was me. I thought that 21:11 thoughts, that was me. I thought that 21:11 thoughts, that was me. I thought that was like my whole personality for a few 21:13 was like my whole personality for a few 21:13 was like my whole personality for a few years. if cognitive function becomes 21:15 years. if cognitive function becomes 21:15 years. if cognitive function becomes erratic. So, it's sharp for like really 21:17 erratic. So, it's sharp for like really 21:17 erratic. So, it's sharp for like really short periods of time and then 21:19 short periods of time and then 21:19 short periods of time and then completely offline at others and you can 21:21 completely offline at others and you can 21:21 completely offline at others and you can never count on your brain. It's like, I 21:23 never count on your brain. It's like, I 21:23 never count on your brain. It's like, I don't know how I'm going to feel one 21:25 don't know how I'm going to feel one 21:25 don't know how I'm going to feel one minute to the next. I don't know how I'm 21:26 minute to the next. I don't know how I'm 21:26 minute to the next. I don't know how I'm going to be able to function one minute 21:27 going to be able to function one minute 21:27 going to be able to function one minute to the next. So, I'm going to start 21:29 to the next. So, I'm going to start 21:29 to the next. So, I'm going to start spending a lot of my energy covering up 21:30 spending a lot of my energy covering up 21:30 spending a lot of my energy covering up and trying to hide how dysfunctional I 21:32 and trying to hide how dysfunctional I 21:32 and trying to hide how dysfunctional I really am. That was me, too. Or maybe 21:34 really am. That was me, too. Or maybe 21:34 really am. That was me, too. Or maybe sleep becomes impossible to really 21:36 sleep becomes impossible to really 21:36 sleep becomes impossible to really initiate and maintain. Remember, we were 21:37 initiate and maintain. Remember, we were 21:38 initiate and maintain. Remember, we were talking about sleep as day one's 21:39 talking about sleep as day one's 21:39 talking about sleep as day one's homework, how to reclaim deeper sleep. 21:41 homework, how to reclaim deeper sleep. 21:41 homework, how to reclaim deeper sleep. And some of you were like, I don't even 21:42 And some of you were like, I don't even 21:42 And some of you were like, I don't even remember what that feels like. It's a 21:44 remember what that feels like. It's a 21:44 remember what that feels like. It's a glutamate issue. So, what drives 21:46 glutamate issue. So, what drives 21:46 glutamate issue. So, what drives glutamate dysregulation? Heavy metals, 21:49 glutamate dysregulation? Heavy metals, 21:49 glutamate dysregulation? Heavy metals, particularly mercury and lead. That's 21:50 particularly mercury and lead. That's 21:50 particularly mercury and lead. That's why we covered them on Monday together. 21:53 why we covered them on Monday together. 21:53 why we covered them on Monday together. And they impair glutamate re-uptake 21:55 And they impair glutamate re-uptake 21:55 And they impair glutamate re-uptake transporters. That's important because 21:58 transporters. That's important because 21:58 transporters. That's important because your body should be deciding how much 21:59 your body should be deciding how much 22:00 your body should be deciding how much glutamate to make, how and when to use 22:02 glutamate to make, how and when to use 22:02 glutamate to make, how and when to use it, how to recycle it and break it down, 22:05 it, how to recycle it and break it down, 22:05 it, how to recycle it and break it down, and when that is appropriate. And heavy 22:07 and when that is appropriate. And heavy 22:07 and when that is appropriate. And heavy metals absolutely disrupt that 22:08 metals absolutely disrupt that 22:08 metals absolutely disrupt that experience. And you saw really good 22:10 experience. And you saw really good 22:10 experience. And you saw really good reasons on day one for all of us to have 22:12 reasons on day one for all of us to have 22:12 reasons on day one for all of us to have these microexposures to heavy metals 22:14 these microexposures to heavy metals 22:14 these microexposures to heavy metals right now. Now remember, all that is 22:16 right now. Now remember, all that is 22:16 right now. Now remember, all that is fixable. We don't go out and try to Ivy 22:18 fixable. We don't go out and try to Ivy 22:18 fixable. We don't go out and try to Ivy keilate heavy metals in a weekend. 22:20 keilate heavy metals in a weekend. 22:20 keilate heavy metals in a weekend. That's not safe. That's like a recipe 22:23 That's not safe. That's like a recipe 22:23 That's not safe. That's like a recipe for disaster. This is something that we 22:24 for disaster. This is something that we 22:24 for disaster. This is something that we gently release over time. We're going to 22:27 gently release over time. We're going to 22:27 gently release over time. We're going to relax our way into healing. I'm going to 22:29 relax our way into healing. I'm going to 22:29 relax our way into healing. I'm going to show you how. Micotoxins and pneumonia 22:31 show you how. Micotoxins and pneumonia 22:31 show you how. Micotoxins and pneumonia are really good from at doing this, too. 22:33 are really good from at doing this, too. 22:33 are really good from at doing this, too. Micotoxins and pneumonia from parasites. 22:34 Micotoxins and pneumonia from parasites. 22:34 Micotoxins and pneumonia from parasites. They elevate extracellular glutamate. So 22:37 They elevate extracellular glutamate. So 22:38 They elevate extracellular glutamate. So freemoving glutamate that's just like 22:39 freemoving glutamate that's just like 22:40 freemoving glutamate that's just like agitating the neurons any old which way 22:42 agitating the neurons any old which way 22:42 agitating the neurons any old which way any old time is just kind of floating. 22:44 any old time is just kind of floating. 22:44 any old time is just kind of floating. Who knows where it's going to go. And 22:46 Who knows where it's going to go. And 22:46 Who knows where it's going to go. And also chronic neuroinflammation disrupts 22:48 also chronic neuroinflammation disrupts 22:48 also chronic neuroinflammation disrupts the glutamate glutamine cycle ring that 22:51 the glutamate glutamine cycle ring that 22:51 the glutamate glutamine cycle ring that keeps levels in check. What does that 22:53 keeps levels in check. What does that 22:53 keeps levels in check. What does that mean? Means if you have reasons to be 22:56 mean? Means if you have reasons to be 22:56 mean? Means if you have reasons to be inflamed throughout your body you have 22:58 inflamed throughout your body you have 22:58 inflamed throughout your body you have reasons for glutamate glutamine to be 23:01 reasons for glutamate glutamine to be 23:01 reasons for glutamate glutamine to be thrown off basically. So inflammation be 23:04 thrown off basically. So inflammation be 23:04 thrown off basically. So inflammation be gets more agitation. So, glutamate and 23:06 gets more agitation. So, glutamate and 23:06 gets more agitation. So, glutamate and the brain you're living in. If you're 23:08 the brain you're living in. If you're 23:08 the brain you're living in. If you're feeling overstimulated or never quite 23:10 feeling overstimulated or never quite 23:10 feeling overstimulated or never quite settled, a brain that will not quiet 23:12 settled, a brain that will not quiet 23:12 settled, a brain that will not quiet down, and you might be exhausted but 23:14 down, and you might be exhausted but 23:14 down, and you might be exhausted but also unable to rest, that sounds like a 23:17 also unable to rest, that sounds like a 23:17 also unable to rest, that sounds like a glutamate issue. It is not caused by too 23:19 glutamate issue. It is not caused by too 23:19 glutamate issue. It is not caused by too much mental stimulation. Even though it 23:21 much mental stimulation. Even though it 23:21 much mental stimulation. Even though it can feel like that, it's caused by the 23:23 can feel like that, it's caused by the 23:23 can feel like that, it's caused by the underlying terrain driving excitatory 23:26 underlying terrain driving excitatory 23:26 underlying terrain driving excitatory neurotransmission beyond the brain's 23:28 neurotransmission beyond the brain's 23:28 neurotransmission beyond the brain's ability to regulate it. You cannot think 23:30 ability to regulate it. You cannot think 23:30 ability to regulate it. You cannot think or meditate your way out of glutamate 23:32 or meditate your way out of glutamate 23:32 or meditate your way out of glutamate exytotoxicity. So for those of you that 23:34 exytotoxicity. So for those of you that 23:34 exytotoxicity. So for those of you that are using meditation or prayer, try to 23:37 are using meditation or prayer, try to 23:37 are using meditation or prayer, try to self-regulate and feeling bad about your 23:39 self-regulate and feeling bad about your 23:39 self-regulate and feeling bad about your internal experience. Remember you have a 23:41 internal experience. Remember you have a 23:41 internal experience. Remember you have a body for a reason. You have 23:43 body for a reason. You have 23:43 body for a reason. You have neurochemicals for a reason. We want to 23:45 neurochemicals for a reason. We want to 23:45 neurochemicals for a reason. We want to support the body as well. It is the 23:47 support the body as well. It is the 23:47 support the body as well. It is the vessel for your soul. Why would we 23:49 vessel for your soul. Why would we 23:49 vessel for your soul. Why would we ignore it and try to just think our way 23:51 ignore it and try to just think our way 23:51 ignore it and try to just think our way out of something or talk therapy our way 23:53 out of something or talk therapy our way 23:53 out of something or talk therapy our way out of something? We want to honor and 23:56 out of something? We want to honor and 23:56 out of something? We want to honor and be good stewards of the body. So GABA,
The Role of GABA in The Brain 23:59 be good stewards of the body. So GABA, 23:59 be good stewards of the body. So GABA, that's your buddy. In times like this 24:01 that's your buddy. In times like this 24:02 that's your buddy. In times like this where you're feeling over stimulated and 24:03 where you're feeling over stimulated and 24:03 where you're feeling over stimulated and overwhelmed. If glutamate is the 24:05 overwhelmed. If glutamate is the 24:05 overwhelmed. If glutamate is the accelerator to your nervous system, to 24:08 accelerator to your nervous system, to 24:08 accelerator to your nervous system, to the brain, GABA is the break. It is the 24:11 the brain, GABA is the break. It is the 24:11 the brain, GABA is the break. It is the opposite. It's the brain's primary 24:13 opposite. It's the brain's primary 24:13 opposite. It's the brain's primary inhibitory neurotransmitter. So where 24:15 inhibitory neurotransmitter. So where 24:15 inhibitory neurotransmitter. So where glutamate accelerates, GABA decelerates. 24:18 glutamate accelerates, GABA decelerates. 24:18 glutamate accelerates, GABA decelerates. It slows things down. It governs the 24:19 It slows things down. It governs the 24:20 It slows things down. It governs the ability to slow down and downregulate 24:22 ability to slow down and downregulate 24:22 ability to slow down and downregulate after stress or stimulation. That's the 24:24 after stress or stimulation. That's the 24:24 after stress or stimulation. That's the GABA. Oo, slowing down. recaling like 24:29 GABA. Oo, slowing down. recaling like 24:29 GABA. Oo, slowing down. recaling like calming reclaiming safety sleep calm 24:33 calming reclaiming safety sleep calm 24:33 calming reclaiming safety sleep calm focused mental states if you're like 24:35 focused mental states if you're like 24:36 focused mental states if you're like dang what I would give to be calm and 24:38 dang what I would give to be calm and 24:38 dang what I would give to be calm and focused at the same time if I am calm at 24:42 focused at the same time if I am calm at 24:42 focused at the same time if I am calm at all I'm too exhausted and I either zone 24:45 all I'm too exhausted and I either zone 24:45 all I'm too exhausted and I either zone completely out or I'm unconscious I'm 24:47 completely out or I'm unconscious I'm 24:47 completely out or I'm unconscious I'm either extremely agitated and scattered 24:49 either extremely agitated and scattered 24:49 either extremely agitated and scattered or basically unconscious that means that 24:51 or basically unconscious that means that 24:51 or basically unconscious that means that you don't have enough GABA because GABA 24:54 you don't have enough GABA because GABA 24:54 you don't have enough GABA because GABA is how we self soothe calm and focused 24:57 is how we self soothe calm and focused 24:57 is how we self soothe calm and focused at the same time. It's not just your 24:59 at the same time. It's not just your 25:00 at the same time. It's not just your sleepy time the way people talk about 25:01 sleepy time the way people talk about 25:01 sleepy time the way people talk about although it is good for sleep onset and 25:02 although it is good for sleep onset and 25:02 although it is good for sleep onset and continuity. It's also for anxiety 25:04 continuity. It's also for anxiety 25:04 continuity. It's also for anxiety regulation. Did you know anxiety is not 25:06 regulation. Did you know anxiety is not 25:06 regulation. Did you know anxiety is not an emotion? It is a physiological state. 25:09 an emotion? It is a physiological state. 25:09 an emotion? It is a physiological state. It is an overexitation of the nervous 25:11 It is an overexitation of the nervous 25:12 It is an overexitation of the nervous system. It's not like anger or fear. 25:14 system. It's not like anger or fear. 25:14 system. It's not like anger or fear. Anxiety is simply over stimulation. That 25:17 Anxiety is simply over stimulation. That 25:17 Anxiety is simply over stimulation. That is a physiological recipe. So we want to 25:20 is a physiological recipe. So we want to 25:20 is a physiological recipe. So we want to acknowledge that for what it is and 25:21 acknowledge that for what it is and 25:21 acknowledge that for what it is and support the body through that experience 25:24 support the body through that experience 25:24 support the body through that experience and out of it. want to get out of the 25:26 and out of it. want to get out of the 25:26 and out of it. want to get out of the habit of anxiety because of all these 25:29 habit of anxiety because of all these 25:29 habit of anxiety because of all these funky disruptors. Think about how 25:31 funky disruptors. Think about how 25:31 funky disruptors. Think about how exquisite and intelligent and 25:32 exquisite and intelligent and 25:32 exquisite and intelligent and intentional your biology is. It's doing 25:35 intentional your biology is. It's doing 25:35 intentional your biology is. It's doing an amazing job considering all these 25:38 an amazing job considering all these 25:38 an amazing job considering all these disruptors. So, you can actually trust 25:40 disruptors. So, you can actually trust 25:40 disruptors. So, you can actually trust your body. It's telling you the truth. 25:41 your body. It's telling you the truth. 25:41 your body. It's telling you the truth. It's getting your attention about what 25:43 It's getting your attention about what 25:43 It's getting your attention about what these stressors are. And the more you 25:45 these stressors are. And the more you 25:45 these stressors are. And the more you understand the language of the body, the 25:47 understand the language of the body, the 25:47 understand the language of the body, the easier it is to support it through this 25:48 easier it is to support it through this 25:48 easier it is to support it through this process. So, GABA is insufficient 25:51 process. So, GABA is insufficient 25:51 process. So, GABA is insufficient relative to glutamate. When that 25:53 relative to glutamate. When that 25:53 relative to glutamate. When that happens, when we don't have enough GABA 25:55 happens, when we don't have enough GABA 25:55 happens, when we don't have enough GABA relative to the amount of glutamate, the 25:58 relative to the amount of glutamate, the 25:58 relative to the amount of glutamate, the brake cannot match the accelerator, the 26:00 brake cannot match the accelerator, the 26:00 brake cannot match the accelerator, the nervous system stays in overdrive and 26:02 nervous system stays in overdrive and 26:02 nervous system stays in overdrive and the brain cannot transition into the 26:03 the brain cannot transition into the 26:04 the brain cannot transition into the states it needs for rest, repair, and 26:05 states it needs for rest, repair, and 26:05 states it needs for rest, repair, and focus cognition. That is why glutamate 26:08 focus cognition. That is why glutamate 26:08 focus cognition. That is why glutamate comes first. GABA's deficit only makes 26:10 comes first. GABA's deficit only makes 26:10 comes first. GABA's deficit only makes sense once you understand what it's 26:12 sense once you understand what it's 26:12 sense once you understand what it's trying to counterbalance. Why would 26:15 trying to counterbalance. Why would 26:15 trying to counterbalance. Why would glutamate be accelerated? Heavy metals, 26:17 glutamate be accelerated? Heavy metals, 26:17 glutamate be accelerated? Heavy metals, chemicals, parasites, mold, life stress, 26:19 chemicals, parasites, mold, life stress, 26:20 chemicals, parasites, mold, life stress, more glutamate. Great. Diet issues. More 26:22 more glutamate. Great. Diet issues. More 26:22 more glutamate. Great. Diet issues. More glutamate. Great. Fake food. More 26:23 glutamate. Great. Fake food. More 26:24 glutamate. Great. Fake food. More glutamate. Great. Oops. Do we have 26:27 glutamate. Great. Oops. Do we have 26:27 glutamate. Great. Oops. Do we have enough GABA to slow that down and soothe 26:29 enough GABA to slow that down and soothe 26:29 enough GABA to slow that down and soothe it? Yes or no? Yes. What steals your
What Steals Your GABA 26:32 it? Yes or no? Yes. What steals your 26:32 it? Yes or no? Yes. What steals your GABA? The usual suspects. Chronic stress 26:34 GABA? The usual suspects. Chronic stress 26:34 GABA? The usual suspects. Chronic stress can of course deplete GABA synthesis. 26:36 can of course deplete GABA synthesis. 26:36 can of course deplete GABA synthesis. And hey, haven't we all been through 26:38 And hey, haven't we all been through 26:38 And hey, haven't we all been through that in the last few years? My goodness, 26:40 that in the last few years? My goodness, 26:40 that in the last few years? My goodness, very, very stressful years. And the 26:42 very, very stressful years. And the 26:42 very, very stressful years. And the nervous system actually will consume 26:43 nervous system actually will consume 26:43 nervous system actually will consume GABA faster during times of stress. 26:46 GABA faster during times of stress. 26:46 GABA faster during times of stress. That's what it's supposed to do to 26:47 That's what it's supposed to do to 26:47 That's what it's supposed to do to self-regulate. But you may not have 26:49 self-regulate. But you may not have 26:49 self-regulate. But you may not have enough to meet the needs. Most mold 26:52 enough to meet the needs. Most mold 26:52 enough to meet the needs. Most mold species actually produce compounds that 26:54 species actually produce compounds that 26:54 species actually produce compounds that competitively bind GABA receptors. It's 26:56 competitively bind GABA receptors. It's 26:56 competitively bind GABA receptors. It's trying to keep you agitated and 26:59 trying to keep you agitated and 26:59 trying to keep you agitated and depleted. Mold is alive. Mold has a 27:01 depleted. Mold is alive. Mold has a 27:01 depleted. Mold is alive. Mold has a consciousness. It's not stupid. It's 27:03 consciousness. It's not stupid. It's 27:03 consciousness. It's not stupid. It's been around longer than us. There's 27:05 been around longer than us. There's 27:05 been around longer than us. There's references that deal with it in the 27:07 references that deal with it in the 27:07 references that deal with it in the Bible. We are not new to this game. What 27:09 Bible. We are not new to this game. What 27:09 Bible. We are not new to this game. What is new though is that mold and 27:11 is new though is that mold and 27:11 is new though is that mold and microtoxins have more reasons to thrive 27:14 microtoxins have more reasons to thrive 27:14 microtoxins have more reasons to thrive in this day and age because there are 27:15 in this day and age because there are 27:15 in this day and age because there are toxic building materials and because of 27:17 toxic building materials and because of 27:17 toxic building materials and because of the EMFs and you have more reasons to 27:19 the EMFs and you have more reasons to 27:20 the EMFs and you have more reasons to not be able to fight back efficiently 27:22 not be able to fight back efficiently 27:22 not be able to fight back efficiently against mold than you used to. So mold 27:25 against mold than you used to. So mold 27:25 against mold than you used to. So mold can really run the show for a lot of us 27:27 can really run the show for a lot of us 27:27 can really run the show for a lot of us now in ways that it did not for our 27:29 now in ways that it did not for our 27:29 now in ways that it did not for our grandparents. This is not your grandma's 27:31 grandparents. This is not your grandma's 27:31 grandparents. This is not your grandma's mold. Parasites through ammonia 27:32 mold. Parasites through ammonia 27:32 mold. Parasites through ammonia production and tryptophan siphoning 27:34 production and tryptophan siphoning 27:34 production and tryptophan siphoning disrupt the biochemical pre precursors 27:36 disrupt the biochemical pre precursors 27:36 disrupt the biochemical pre precursors GABAs depends on. What does that mean? 27:39 GABAs depends on. What does that mean? 27:39 GABAs depends on. What does that mean? Parasites keep you from being able to 27:41 Parasites keep you from being able to 27:41 Parasites keep you from being able to make and use your GABA so that you can 27:44 make and use your GABA so that you can 27:44 make and use your GABA so that you can feel safe and relaxed. They don't want 27:45 feel safe and relaxed. They don't want 27:45 feel safe and relaxed. They don't want you feeling safe and relaxed. No, that 27:48 you feeling safe and relaxed. No, that 27:48 you feeling safe and relaxed. No, that would mean that you'd be able to fight 27:49 would mean that you'd be able to fight 27:49 would mean that you'd be able to fight back. Cuz what happens when you're safe 27:51 back. Cuz what happens when you're safe 27:51 back. Cuz what happens when you're safe and relaxed? Your immune system 27:53 and relaxed? Your immune system 27:53 and relaxed? Your immune system rebalances and goes through a target and 27:55 rebalances and goes through a target and 27:55 rebalances and goes through a target and cleanup phase. You do repair work. You 27:59 cleanup phase. You do repair work. You 27:59 cleanup phase. You do repair work. You detox and drain, making you less of a 28:01 detox and drain, making you less of a 28:01 detox and drain, making you less of a good host to parasites. They don't want 28:03 good host to parasites. They don't want 28:04 good host to parasites. They don't want that. They want to run the show. Gut 28:06 that. They want to run the show. Gut 28:06 that. They want to run the show. Gut dispiosis. GABA is produced in part by 28:08 dispiosis. GABA is produced in part by 28:08 dispiosis. GABA is produced in part by specific gut bacteria. A compromised 28:10 specific gut bacteria. A compromised 28:10 specific gut bacteria. A compromised microbiome means compromised GABA 28:12 microbiome means compromised GABA 28:12 microbiome means compromised GABA production at the source. So GABA 28:15 production at the source. So GABA 28:15 production at the source. So GABA supplementation without addressing these 28:16 supplementation without addressing these 28:16 supplementation without addressing these drivers is a very temporary patch and it 28:19 drivers is a very temporary patch and it 28:19 drivers is a very temporary patch and it can actually throw things off. So the 28:21 can actually throw things off. So the 28:21 can actually throw things off. So the terrain keeps depleting faster than you
The Glutamate-GABA Imbalance 28:23 terrain keeps depleting faster than you 28:23 terrain keeps depleting faster than you can replace it. It's why we got to go 28:24 can replace it. It's why we got to go 28:24 can replace it. It's why we got to go after this systemically like what is the 28:28 after this systemically like what is the 28:28 after this systemically like what is the most elegant approach here? That's what 28:30 most elegant approach here? That's what 28:30 most elegant approach here? That's what you should be asking yourself. Not like, 28:31 you should be asking yourself. Not like, 28:32 you should be asking yourself. Not like, "Oh god, now I need to go get a 28:33 "Oh god, now I need to go get a 28:33 "Oh god, now I need to go get a glutamate supplement and a GABA 28:35 glutamate supplement and a GABA 28:35 glutamate supplement and a GABA supplement and a dopamine supplement, a 28:37 supplement and a dopamine supplement, a 28:37 supplement and a dopamine supplement, a serotonin, and now I got to do a 28:38 serotonin, and now I got to do a 28:38 serotonin, and now I got to do a parasite cleanse and now I got to mold." 28:40 parasite cleanse and now I got to mold." 28:40 parasite cleanse and now I got to mold." No, we want to have the least amount of 28:42 No, we want to have the least amount of 28:42 No, we want to have the least amount of elements necessary for you to get 28:45 elements necessary for you to get 28:45 elements necessary for you to get momentum and move forward. That is 28:47 momentum and move forward. That is 28:47 momentum and move forward. That is elegance in science. It's the least 28:49 elegance in science. It's the least 28:49 elegance in science. It's the least amount of elements necessary to produce 28:52 amount of elements necessary to produce 28:52 amount of elements necessary to produce a result. So glutamate, GABA imbalance 28:54 a result. So glutamate, GABA imbalance 28:54 a result. So glutamate, GABA imbalance in practice, when glutamate is high and 28:56 in practice, when glutamate is high and 28:56 in practice, when glutamate is high and GABA is low, the clinical picture looks 28:58 GABA is low, the clinical picture looks 28:58 GABA is low, the clinical picture looks like wired but exhausted. cannot rest 29:00 like wired but exhausted. cannot rest 29:00 like wired but exhausted. cannot rest even when depleted.

Again, totally fixable, easy to relax 29:40 Again, totally fixable, easy to relax 29:40 Again, totally fixable, easy to relax into gentle steps that start getting 29:42 into gentle steps that start getting 29:42 into gentle steps that start getting your momentum going. Then it is 29:43 your momentum going. Then it is 29:43 your momentum going. Then it is routinely misread as an anxiety 29:45 routinely misread as an anxiety 29:45 routinely misread as an anxiety disorder, ADHD, or insomnia. I got lots 29:48 disorder, ADHD, or insomnia. I got lots 29:48 disorder, ADHD, or insomnia. I got lots of mental health labels applied to me. I 29:50 of mental health labels applied to me. I 29:50 of mental health labels applied to me. I got lots of neurological divergence 29:52 got lots of neurological divergence 29:52 got lots of neurological divergence labels applied to me. And if those 29:54 labels applied to me. And if those 29:54 labels applied to me. And if those resonate with you, great. But if they 29:56 resonate with you, great. But if they 29:56 resonate with you, great. But if they aren't helping you in experiencing 29:58 aren't helping you in experiencing 29:58 aren't helping you in experiencing yourself the way you want to and in 30:01 yourself the way you want to and in 30:01 yourself the way you want to and in living your life in a deeply meaningful 30:02 living your life in a deeply meaningful 30:02 living your life in a deeply meaningful way where you feel at peace and at ease
Dopamine is Misunderstood 30:04 way where you feel at peace and at ease 30:04 way where you feel at peace and at ease and neurologically flexible, where you 30:06 and neurologically flexible, where you 30:06 and neurologically flexible, where you can easily rise to meet the challenge of 30:08 can easily rise to meet the challenge of 30:08 can easily rise to meet the challenge of the moment as yourself in a way that 30:11 the moment as yourself in a way that 30:11 the moment as yourself in a way that you're proud of, then I invite you to 30:12 you're proud of, then I invite you to 30:12 you're proud of, then I invite you to take a deeper look at this dopamine. I 30:15 take a deeper look at this dopamine. I 30:15 take a deeper look at this dopamine. I think this is so interesting. Dopamine 30:17 think this is so interesting. Dopamine 30:17 think this is so interesting. Dopamine has gotten such a bad rat with our 30:18 has gotten such a bad rat with our 30:18 has gotten such a bad rat with our social media memes and all that stuff. 30:20 social media memes and all that stuff. 30:20 social media memes and all that stuff. This is so much more than just like, oh, 30:22 This is so much more than just like, oh, 30:22 This is so much more than just like, oh, you know, your rewards like I'm rewarded 30:25 you know, your rewards like I'm rewarded 30:26 you know, your rewards like I'm rewarded with from my social media scrolling. 30:27 with from my social media scrolling. 30:27 with from my social media scrolling. It's so much more than that. Dopamine is 30:29 It's so much more than that. Dopamine is 30:29 It's so much more than that. Dopamine is about your drive. It's about your 30:31 about your drive. It's about your 30:31 about your drive. It's about your motivation. If you're not excited to get 30:33 motivation. If you're not excited to get 30:33 motivation. If you're not excited to get up in the morning and meet your day, 30:36 up in the morning and meet your day, 30:36 up in the morning and meet your day, whether it's to go say hi to your cat or 30:38 whether it's to go say hi to your cat or 30:38 whether it's to go say hi to your cat or go out in your garden or feel the sun on 30:40 go out in your garden or feel the sun on 30:40 go out in your garden or feel the sun on your face, you know, breathe in the 30:41 your face, you know, breathe in the 30:42 your face, you know, breathe in the fresh air, sip your favorite tea, like 30:44 fresh air, sip your favorite tea, like 30:44 fresh air, sip your favorite tea, like if if you're not like excited to meet 30:46 if if you're not like excited to meet 30:46 if if you're not like excited to meet your life even in the smallest moments, 30:49 your life even in the smallest moments, 30:49 your life even in the smallest moments, something's very off because that's how 30:51 something's very off because that's how 30:51 something's very off because that's how humans are hardwired to feel motivated, 30:53 humans are hardwired to feel motivated, 30:53 humans are hardwired to feel motivated, to have drive, to want to like pursue 30:56 to have drive, to want to like pursue 30:56 to have drive, to want to like pursue what's important to you.

Whether it's learning how to draw or, you know, 30:59 learning how to draw or, you know, 30:59 learning how to draw or, you know, learning some, you know, like random 31:02 learning some, you know, like random 31:02 learning some, you know, like random nichy thing or really helping people in 31:05 nichy thing or really helping people in 31:05 nichy thing or really helping people in your community and showing up in a whole 31:07 your community and showing up in a whole 31:07 your community and showing up in a whole new way, like we should be feeling drive 31:09 new way, like we should be feeling drive 31:09 new way, like we should be feeling drive and reward and motivation all the way up 31:12 and reward and motivation all the way up 31:12 and reward and motivation all the way up until the end. My grandmother, one of 31:14 until the end. My grandmother, one of 31:14 until the end. My grandmother, one of the original hippies, was singing in 31:16 the original hippies, was singing in 31:16 the original hippies, was singing in choirs and traveling to Asia and 31:18 choirs and traveling to Asia and 31:18 choirs and traveling to Asia and volunteering and all this stuff all the 31:20 volunteering and all this stuff all the 31:20 volunteering and all this stuff all the way up until a couple of months before 31:21 way up until a couple of months before 31:21 way up until a couple of months before her death. She was so excited to be 31:24 her death. She was so excited to be 31:24 her death. She was so excited to be alive, even though she didn't like her 31:26 alive, even though she didn't like her 31:26 alive, even though she didn't like her husband. Even though she was a really 31:27 husband. Even though she was a really 31:27 husband. Even though she was a really judgy person, she was still like in it 31:30 judgy person, she was still like in it 31:30 judgy person, she was still like in it to win it, man. Like that was really 31:32 to win it, man. Like that was really 31:32 to win it, man. Like that was really interesting to watch and interesting to 31:34 interesting to watch and interesting to 31:34 interesting to watch and interesting to think back on when I I see these um 31:37 think back on when I I see these um 31:37 think back on when I I see these um social media influencers like, "Well, 31:38 social media influencers like, "Well, 31:38 social media influencers like, "Well, now that I'm in midlife, now I'm not 31:40 now that I'm in midlife, now I'm not 31:40 now that I'm in midlife, now I'm not motivated, but that's like appropriate 31:41 motivated, but that's like appropriate 31:41 motivated, but that's like appropriate right now." No, it's not. It is not 31:43 right now." No, it's not. It is not 31:44 right now." No, it's not. It is not appropriate whatsoever. You should feel 31:45 appropriate whatsoever. You should feel 31:45 appropriate whatsoever. You should feel drive, reward, and motivation throughout 31:47 drive, reward, and motivation throughout 31:47 drive, reward, and motivation throughout your entire life. You might have 31:49 your entire life. You might have 31:49 your entire life. You might have different things as you mature be 31:52 different things as you mature be 31:52 different things as you mature be motivating to you. That's different. And 31:54 motivating to you. That's different. And 31:54 motivating to you. That's different. And the brain's primatory excitatory primary 31:57 the brain's primatory excitatory primary 31:57 the brain's primatory excitatory primary excitatory neurotransmitter is 31:59 excitatory neurotransmitter is 31:59 excitatory neurotransmitter is glutamate. But dopamine itself is like a 32:02 glutamate. But dopamine itself is like a 32:02 glutamate. But dopamine itself is like a really cool it's like a buddy to 32:04 really cool it's like a buddy to 32:04 really cool it's like a buddy to glutamate. It's like a collaborator to 32:06 glutamate. It's like a collaborator to 32:06 glutamate. It's like a collaborator to it. We're actually creating synaptic 32:08 it. We're actually creating synaptic 32:08 it. We're actually creating synaptic plasticity with it and cognitive 32:10 plasticity with it and cognitive 32:10 plasticity with it and cognitive activation. It's actually creating 32:12 activation. It's actually creating 32:12 activation. It's actually creating motivation and anticipation and reward 32:14 motivation and anticipation and reward 32:14 motivation and anticipation and reward seeking. That's why it gets a bad rap 32:16 seeking. That's why it gets a bad rap 32:16 seeking. That's why it gets a bad rap because like oh reward, you know, I'm 32:18 because like oh reward, you know, I'm 32:18 because like oh reward, you know, I'm going to eat something to get my 32:19 going to eat something to get my 32:19 going to eat something to get my dopamine hit. Oh, reward seeking like we 32:22 dopamine hit. Oh, reward seeking like we 32:22 dopamine hit. Oh, reward seeking like we work towards it because we were 32:24 work towards it because we were 32:24 work towards it because we were motivated and we anticipated it and then 32:26 motivated and we anticipated it and then 32:26 motivated and we anticipated it and then it also supports executive function and 32:28 it also supports executive function and 32:28 it also supports executive function and the experience of forward momentum in 32:30 the experience of forward momentum in 32:30 the experience of forward momentum in life. When we have dopamine 32:31 life. When we have dopamine 32:31 life. When we have dopamine dysregulation, that motivation 32:33 dysregulation, that motivation 32:34 dysregulation, that motivation disappears. Who feels less motivated now 32:36 disappears. Who feels less motivated now 32:36 disappears. Who feels less motivated now than they did 10 years ago? That's not 32:38 than they did 10 years ago? That's not 32:38 than they did 10 years ago? That's not normal. Did you know that? It might be 32:41 normal. Did you know that? It might be 32:41 normal. Did you know that? It might be common, but it's not appropriate or 32:43 common, but it's not appropriate or 32:43 common, but it's not appropriate or normal. Motivation disappears when 32:45 normal. Motivation disappears when 32:45 normal. Motivation disappears when external circumstances haven't changed. 32:46 external circumstances haven't changed. 32:46 external circumstances haven't changed. That's a sign of dopamine dysregulation. 32:48 That's a sign of dopamine dysregulation. 32:48 That's a sign of dopamine dysregulation. tasks that used to engage you feel flat 32:51 tasks that used to engage you feel flat 32:51 tasks that used to engage you feel flat or pointless. If you're used to like to 32:53 or pointless. If you're used to like to 32:53 or pointless. If you're used to like to make that cake or you're used to like to 32:55 make that cake or you're used to like to 32:55 make that cake or you're used to like to make the coffee in the morning or you're 32:56 make the coffee in the morning or you're 32:56 make the coffee in the morning or you're used to like look forward to like you 32:59 used to like look forward to like you 32:59 used to like look forward to like you know little things. If the future stops 33:01 know little things. If the future stops 33:01 know little things. If the future stops feeling compelling um if focus becomes 33:03 feeling compelling um if focus becomes 33:03 feeling compelling um if focus becomes difficult to initiate and impossible to 33:05 difficult to initiate and impossible to 33:05 difficult to initiate and impossible to sustain if pleasure and reward feel 33:07 sustain if pleasure and reward feel 33:07 sustain if pleasure and reward feel mutivated muted or inaccessible or 33:10 mutivated muted or inaccessible or 33:10 mutivated muted or inaccessible or stimulant dependency increases.

If you have to use caffeine, sugar, or some 33:16 have to use caffeine, sugar, or some 33:16 have to use caffeine, sugar, or some kind of novelty um hit to your nervous 33:20 kind of novelty um hit to your nervous 33:20 kind of novelty um hit to your nervous system or if you use crisis to stay 33:23 system or if you use crisis to stay 33:23 system or if you use crisis to stay oriented, engaged in your life. We all 33:25 oriented, engaged in your life. We all 33:25 oriented, engaged in your life. We all have that friend that creates crisis 33:28 have that friend that creates crisis 33:28 have that friend that creates crisis around them. It's a nervous system 33:30 around them. It's a nervous system 33:30 around them. It's a nervous system regulation thing. They are vibrating at 33:32 regulation thing. They are vibrating at 33:32 regulation thing. They are vibrating at chaos. Why is that? Because they'll be 33:34 chaos. Why is that? Because they'll be 33:34 chaos. Why is that? Because they'll be completely uninterested unless it's 33:36 completely uninterested unless it's 33:36 completely uninterested unless it's chaotic and it's dramatic. That's 33:39 chaotic and it's dramatic. That's 33:39 chaotic and it's dramatic. That's dopamine dysregulation. So, what would
What Disrupts Dopamine 33:41 dopamine dysregulation. So, what would 33:41 dopamine dysregulation. So, what would disrupt dopamine? Mercury, lead, 33:43 disrupt dopamine? Mercury, lead, 33:43 disrupt dopamine? Mercury, lead, micotoxins, parasites, chronic 33:44 micotoxins, parasites, chronic 33:44 micotoxins, parasites, chronic inflammation. Weird, right? But also, is 33:47 inflammation. Weird, right? But also, is 33:48 inflammation. Weird, right? But also, is it surprising? I don't think so. I think 33:50 it surprising? I don't think so. I think 33:50 it surprising? I don't think so. I think it's the same root causes that that can 33:52 it's the same root causes that that can 33:52 it's the same root causes that that can disrupt the body from magically 33:54 disrupt the body from magically 33:54 disrupt the body from magically maintaining itself. And so, if we just 33:56 maintaining itself. And so, if we just 33:56 maintaining itself. And so, if we just go at this from a root cause lens, 33:58 go at this from a root cause lens, 33:58 go at this from a root cause lens, everything gets simpler. So, mercury 34:00 everything gets simpler. So, mercury 34:00 everything gets simpler. So, mercury directly targets dopamineergic um 34:01 directly targets dopamineergic um 34:01 directly targets dopamineergic um neurons in the substantion and the 34:04 neurons in the substantion and the 34:04 neurons in the substantion and the stratum in the same regions implicated 34:06 stratum in the same regions implicated 34:06 stratum in the same regions implicated in Parkinson's disease. Who here is 34:09 in Parkinson's disease. Who here is 34:09 in Parkinson's disease. Who here is seeing a huge uptick in Parkinson's 34:11 seeing a huge uptick in Parkinson's 34:11 seeing a huge uptick in Parkinson's disease? It's the mercury amalgam 34:12 disease? It's the mercury amalgam 34:12 disease? It's the mercury amalgam fillings plus the organo phosphates, 34:14 fillings plus the organo phosphates, 34:14 fillings plus the organo phosphates, those pesticides that we are spraying 34:17 those pesticides that we are spraying 34:17 those pesticides that we are spraying all over our food like there's no 34:20 all over our food like there's no 34:20 all over our food like there's no tomorrow. That's literally how we're 34:22 tomorrow. That's literally how we're 34:22 tomorrow. That's literally how we're thinking about it. We're spraying it on 34:23 thinking about it. We're spraying it on 34:23 thinking about it. We're spraying it on our crops that we're eating and 34:25 our crops that we're eating and 34:25 our crops that we're eating and ingesting. We're spraying it on our our, 34:27 ingesting. We're spraying it on our our, 34:27 ingesting. We're spraying it on our our, you know, kids soccer fields, at our 34:29 you know, kids soccer fields, at our 34:29 you know, kids soccer fields, at our schools, in our parks, on our golf 34:31 schools, in our parks, on our golf 34:31 schools, in our parks, on our golf courses. Very weird stuff. And it's all 34:34 courses. Very weird stuff. And it's all 34:34 courses. Very weird stuff. And it's all targeting the same areas of the brain. 34:37 targeting the same areas of the brain. 34:37 targeting the same areas of the brain. Lead impairs dopamine synthesis and 34:39 Lead impairs dopamine synthesis and 34:39 Lead impairs dopamine synthesis and receptor density, reducing both 34:40 receptor density, reducing both 34:40 receptor density, reducing both production and the brain's ability to 34:42 production and the brain's ability to 34:42 production and the brain's ability to use what it produces. That it's known 34:44 use what it produces. That it's known 34:44 use what it produces. That it's known and understood that lead's energetic 34:46 and understood that lead's energetic 34:46 and understood that lead's energetic signature in the body is depression 34:49 signature in the body is depression 34:49 signature in the body is depression because it's so good at disrupting 34:51 because it's so good at disrupting 34:51 because it's so good at disrupting dopamine. Micotoxins suppress dopamine 34:53 dopamine. Micotoxins suppress dopamine 34:53 dopamine. Micotoxins suppress dopamine transporter function and drive oxidative 34:55 transporter function and drive oxidative 34:55 transporter function and drive oxidative damage in dopamineergic pathways. That's 34:57 damage in dopamineergic pathways. That's 34:57 damage in dopamineergic pathways. That's no good. Parasites directly manipulate 34:59 no good. Parasites directly manipulate 34:59 no good. Parasites directly manipulate dopamine metabolism in limbic 35:01 dopamine metabolism in limbic 35:01 dopamine metabolism in limbic structures. Parasites will get you back 35:03 structures. Parasites will get you back 35:03 structures. Parasites will get you back to your lizard brain faster than 35:05 to your lizard brain faster than 35:06 to your lizard brain faster than anything. [laughter] 35:07 anything. [laughter] 35:07 anything. [laughter] You'll get they'll get you down to like 35:08 You'll get they'll get you down to like 35:08 You'll get they'll get you down to like survival weirdo thinking really 35:11 survival weirdo thinking really 35:11 survival weirdo thinking really [laughter] really fast. This is part of 35:14 [laughter] really fast. This is part of 35:14 [laughter] really fast. This is part of how they do it. They don't want you 35:15 how they do it. They don't want you 35:16 how they do it. They don't want you loving life and being self-regulated. 35:17 loving life and being self-regulated. 35:17 loving life and being self-regulated. They want to run the show. Chronic 35:19 They want to run the show. Chronic 35:19 They want to run the show. Chronic inflammation from any source suppresses 35:21 inflammation from any source suppresses 35:21 inflammation from any source suppresses tyrosine hydroxilase, the rate limiting 35:23 tyrosine hydroxilase, the rate limiting 35:23 tyrosine hydroxilase, the rate limiting enzyme in dopamine synthesis. So why
Serotonin: Stable and Safe 35:26 enzyme in dopamine synthesis. So why 35:26 enzyme in dopamine synthesis. So why does that matter? It matters because we 35:29 does that matter? It matters because we 35:29 does that matter? It matters because we want to have our motivation and our 35:31 want to have our motivation and our 35:31 want to have our motivation and our drive intact. And serotonin is kind of 35:34 drive intact. And serotonin is kind of 35:34 drive intact. And serotonin is kind of the uplifting like buddy partner to 35:37 the uplifting like buddy partner to 35:38 the uplifting like buddy partner to dopamine and glutamate. It's the 35:40 dopamine and glutamate. It's the 35:40 dopamine and glutamate. It's the steadiness. It's the safety. It's the 35:42 steadiness. It's the safety. It's the 35:42 steadiness. It's the safety. It's the sense of self. It creates mood stability 35:45 sense of self. It creates mood stability 35:45 sense of self. It creates mood stability and emotional resilience. It is the 35:47 and emotional resilience. It is the 35:47 and emotional resilience. It is the thing that gives us that natural 35:48 thing that gives us that natural 35:48 thing that gives us that natural positivity. Oh, I'm open, neutral, and 35:51 positivity. Oh, I'm open, neutral, and 35:51 positivity. Oh, I'm open, neutral, and slightly positive. I'm slightly curious. 35:54 slightly positive. I'm slightly curious. 35:54 slightly positive. I'm slightly curious. I want to expand. I want to learn. I 35:56 I want to expand. I want to learn. I 35:56 I want to expand. I want to learn. I want to contribute. I want to grow. 35:58 want to contribute. I want to grow. 35:58 want to contribute. I want to grow. That's this natural set point that we as 36:00 That's this natural set point that we as 36:00 That's this natural set point that we as a human have a right to experience as 36:03 a human have a right to experience as 36:03 a human have a right to experience as our default and the sense that things 36:05 our default and the sense that things 36:05 our default and the sense that things are okay to have impulse regulation. You 36:09 are okay to have impulse regulation. You 36:09 are okay to have impulse regulation. You know, when somebody's like, "Hey, do you 36:10 know, when somebody's like, "Hey, do you 36:10 know, when somebody's like, "Hey, do you want to get drunk?" No, that doesn't 36:12 want to get drunk?" No, that doesn't 36:12 want to get drunk?" No, that doesn't sound good. Oh, I'm overwhelmed. What 36:14 sound good. Oh, I'm overwhelmed. What 36:14 sound good. Oh, I'm overwhelmed. What should I do about it? I think I'll take 36:15 should I do about it? I think I'll take 36:15 should I do about it? I think I'll take a walk. That sounds good. So, impulse 36:17 a walk. That sounds good. So, impulse 36:17 a walk. That sounds good. So, impulse regulation, good towards hell, not away 36:19 regulation, good towards hell, not away 36:19 regulation, good towards hell, not away from it. Um, the subjective experience 36:21 from it. Um, the subjective experience 36:21 from it. Um, the subjective experience of feeling like yourself. Gosh, don't we 36:23 of feeling like yourself. Gosh, don't we 36:23 of feeling like yourself. Gosh, don't we all want that? We want to feel like 36:25 all want that? We want to feel like 36:25 all want that? We want to feel like ourselves again. You know who's really 36:26 ourselves again. You know who's really 36:26 ourselves again. You know who's really good at stealing that from us? Parasites 36:28 good at stealing that from us? Parasites 36:28 good at stealing that from us? Parasites and fungus. They actually eat your 36:30 and fungus. They actually eat your 36:30 and fungus. They actually eat your serotonin. They will steal it. That's 36:32 serotonin. They will steal it. That's 36:32 serotonin. They will steal it. That's why parasites are more active around the 36:34 why parasites are more active around the 36:34 why parasites are more active around the full moon cuz you make more serotonin 36:36 full moon cuz you make more serotonin 36:36 full moon cuz you make more serotonin around the full moon. Isn't that 36:37 around the full moon. Isn't that 36:38 around the full moon. Isn't that interesting? So that whole full moon 36:40 interesting? So that whole full moon 36:40 interesting? So that whole full moon parasite cleansing is not just hippie 36:41 parasite cleansing is not just hippie 36:42 parasite cleansing is not just hippie mumbo jumbo. There's actually science 36:43 mumbo jumbo. There's actually science 36:44 mumbo jumbo. There's actually science underneath it. What a trip, right? Life 36:46 underneath it. What a trip, right? Life 36:46 underneath it. What a trip, right? Life is so interesting. So when serotonin is 36:49 is so interesting. So when serotonin is 36:49 is so interesting. So when serotonin is low, mood becomes fragile and 36:51 low, mood becomes fragile and 36:51 low, mood becomes fragile and unpredictable. Rumination and obsessive 36:53 unpredictable. Rumination and obsessive 36:53 unpredictable. Rumination and obsessive thinking increase. and the world feels 36:54 thinking increase. and the world feels 36:54 thinking increase. and the world feels threatening or meaningless without a 36:56 threatening or meaningless without a 36:56 threatening or meaningless without a clear cause. Emotional pain tolerance 36:58 clear cause. Emotional pain tolerance 36:58 clear cause. Emotional pain tolerance decreases and small stressors become 37:00 decreases and small stressors become 37:00 decreases and small stressors become disproportionately 37:02 disproportionately 37:02 disproportionately upsetting. The sense of being yourself 37:04 upsetting. The sense of being yourself 37:04 upsetting. The sense of being yourself erodess and yes sleep deteriorates too.
Why Serotonin Gets Depleted 37:06 erodess and yes sleep deteriorates too. 37:06 erodess and yes sleep deteriorates too. So why serotonin gets depleted? 90% of 37:08 So why serotonin gets depleted? 90% of 37:08 So why serotonin gets depleted? 90% of serotonin is produced in the gut from 37:10 serotonin is produced in the gut from 37:10 serotonin is produced in the gut from tryptophan. Remember when I told you at 37:12 tryptophan. Remember when I told you at 37:12 tryptophan. Remember when I told you at the beginning tryptophan is our hero 37:15 the beginning tryptophan is our hero 37:15 the beginning tryptophan is our hero man. It is a huge winner for us and we 37:17 man. It is a huge winner for us and we 37:18 man. It is a huge winner for us and we have got to have it because 90% of this 37:20 have got to have it because 90% of this 37:20 have got to have it because 90% of this neurochemical that tells us hey I'm 37:22 neurochemical that tells us hey I'm 37:22 neurochemical that tells us hey I'm myself I feel like myself I'm safe is 37:26 myself I feel like myself I'm safe is 37:26 myself I feel like myself I'm safe is produced in the gut from tryptophan in a 37:28 produced in the gut from tryptophan in a 37:28 produced in the gut from tryptophan in a process that depends on a healthy 37:30 process that depends on a healthy 37:30 process that depends on a healthy microbiome and adequate co-actors like 37:32 microbiome and adequate co-actors like 37:32 microbiome and adequate co-actors like B6 and zinc and magnesium and iron and 37:35 B6 and zinc and magnesium and iron and 37:35 B6 and zinc and magnesium and iron and intact intestinal tissue. Every 37:36 intact intestinal tissue. Every 37:36 intact intestinal tissue. Every interference factor we have covered this 37:38 interference factor we have covered this 37:38 interference factor we have covered this week reaches serotonin through the gut. 37:41 week reaches serotonin through the gut. 37:41 week reaches serotonin through the gut. Parasites will steal tryptophan for 37:43 Parasites will steal tryptophan for 37:43 Parasites will steal tryptophan for their own metabolic processes. 37:45 their own metabolic processes. 37:45 their own metabolic processes. Miccotoxins damage intestinal tissue and 37:47 Miccotoxins damage intestinal tissue and 37:47 Miccotoxins damage intestinal tissue and disregulate the microbiome, reducing 37:49 disregulate the microbiome, reducing 37:49 disregulate the microbiome, reducing serotonin synthesis at the source. Heavy 37:51 serotonin synthesis at the source. Heavy 37:51 serotonin synthesis at the source. Heavy metals deplete the mineral co-actor. 37:53 metals deplete the mineral co-actor. 37:53 metals deplete the mineral co-actor. Serotonin production depends on chronic 37:55 Serotonin production depends on chronic 37:55 Serotonin production depends on chronic inflammation redirects tryptophan away 37:58 inflammation redirects tryptophan away 37:58 inflammation redirects tryptophan away from serotonin production and towards 38:01 from serotonin production and towards 38:01 from serotonin production and towards the kyronine pathway generating 38:03 the kyronine pathway generating 38:03 the kyronine pathway generating inflammatory metabolites instead. And 38:06 inflammatory metabolites instead. And 38:06 inflammatory metabolites instead. And remember like we have some tools in our 38:09 remember like we have some tools in our 38:09 remember like we have some tools in our culture right now like SSRIs. They don't 38:12 culture right now like SSRIs. They don't 38:12 culture right now like SSRIs. They don't actually restore serotonin production. 38:14 actually restore serotonin production. 38:14 actually restore serotonin production. They actually slow its re-uptake 38:17 They actually slow its re-uptake 38:17 They actually slow its re-uptake temporarily increasing the perceived 38:18 temporarily increasing the perceived 38:18 temporarily increasing the perceived availability of what little the system 38:20 availability of what little the system 38:20 availability of what little the system is producing, but they don't actually 38:23 is producing, but they don't actually 38:23 is producing, but they don't actually give you enough of it. They don't 38:25 give you enough of it. They don't 38:25 give you enough of it. They don't resupply serotonin 38:27 resupply serotonin 38:28 resupply serotonin and they don't resolve the reasons why 38:29 and they don't resolve the reasons why 38:30 and they don't resolve the reasons why you wouldn't be making enough serotonin 38:31 you wouldn't be making enough serotonin 38:31 you wouldn't be making enough serotonin in the first place. So it's one of the 38:34 in the first place. So it's one of the 38:34 in the first place. So it's one of the many many reasons why SSRIs are limited 38:36 many many reasons why SSRIs are limited 38:36 many many reasons why SSRIs are limited and they can actually create damage. So 38:38 and they can actually create damage. So 38:38 and they can actually create damage. So there's a very interesting 38:41 there's a very interesting 38:41 there's a very interesting wellestablished body of clinical 38:43 wellestablished body of clinical 38:43 wellestablished body of clinical research just about that. So the
Neurochemical Stressors Add Up 38:45 research just about that. So the 38:45 research just about that. So the neurochemical stressors add up right 38:47 neurochemical stressors add up right 38:47 neurochemical stressors add up right glutamate dysregulation brain can't stop 38:49 glutamate dysregulation brain can't stop 38:49 glutamate dysregulation brain can't stop firing. This is gaba depletion brain 38:51 firing. This is gaba depletion brain 38:51 firing. This is gaba depletion brain can't calm down. Dopamine suppression 38:54 can't calm down. Dopamine suppression 38:54 can't calm down. Dopamine suppression nothing feels motivating or rewarding. 38:56 nothing feels motivating or rewarding. 38:56 nothing feels motivating or rewarding. Serotonin depletion nothing feels steady 38:59 Serotonin depletion nothing feels steady 38:59 Serotonin depletion nothing feels steady and you don't feel safe and like 39:00 and you don't feel safe and like 39:00 and you don't feel safe and like yourself. So, we're actually not dealing 39:02 yourself. So, we're actually not dealing 39:02 yourself. So, we're actually not dealing with four separate problems here, 39:04 with four separate problems here, 39:04 with four separate problems here, though. Have you noticed the theme? This 39:06 though. Have you noticed the theme? This 39:06 though. Have you noticed the theme? This is just one terrain problem expressing 39:08 is just one terrain problem expressing 39:08 is just one terrain problem expressing itself across four neurochemicals um 39:11 itself across four neurochemicals um 39:11 itself across four neurochemicals um that are simultaneously wanting to 39:13 that are simultaneously wanting to 39:13 that are simultaneously wanting to balance themselves and each other within 39:15 balance themselves and each other within 39:15 balance themselves and each other within our exquisite biology. The terrain 39:18 our exquisite biology. The terrain 39:18 our exquisite biology. The terrain driving it is the toxic burden, the 39:20 driving it is the toxic burden, the 39:20 driving it is the toxic burden, the miccotoxin exposure, parasite infection, 39:23 miccotoxin exposure, parasite infection, 39:23 miccotoxin exposure, parasite infection, chronic inflammation, nervous system 39:24 chronic inflammation, nervous system 39:24 chronic inflammation, nervous system dysregulation, and yeah, impaired 39:26 dysregulation, and yeah, impaired 39:26 dysregulation, and yeah, impaired drainage. Because remember, the brain 39:28 drainage. Because remember, the brain 39:28 drainage. Because remember, the brain drains last. So, you're not crazy, guys. 39:31 drains last. So, you're not crazy, guys. 39:31 drains last. So, you're not crazy, guys. And it's not too late to fix this. If 39:33 And it's not too late to fix this. If 39:33 And it's not too late to fix this. If you've been living with a brain that 39:34 you've been living with a brain that 39:34 you've been living with a brain that won't quiet down or flatness or 39:36 won't quiet down or flatness or 39:36 won't quiet down or flatness or emptiness that doesn't match your 39:38 emptiness that doesn't match your 39:38 emptiness that doesn't match your circumstances or anxiety that feels like 39:41 circumstances or anxiety that feels like 39:41 circumstances or anxiety that feels like it's out of control and like comes out 39:43 it's out of control and like comes out 39:43 it's out of control and like comes out of nowhere and it's hard to manage, like 39:46 of nowhere and it's hard to manage, like 39:46 of nowhere and it's hard to manage, like yeah, that's physiological, not 39:48 yeah, that's physiological, not 39:48 yeah, that's physiological, not situational. Motivation and drive that 39:50 situational. Motivation and drive that 39:50 situational. Motivation and drive that have gone missing. A version of yourself 39:52 have gone missing. A version of yourself 39:52 have gone missing. A version of yourself you no longer have full access to. 39:53 you no longer have full access to. 39:53 you no longer have full access to. You're not depressed because something 39:55 You're not depressed because something 39:55 You're not depressed because something is wrong with your personality. And it's 39:57 is wrong with your personality. And it's 39:57 is wrong with your personality. And it's okay if you have real life stressors at 39:59 okay if you have real life stressors at 39:59 okay if you have real life stressors at the same time. We all do. Life is not 40:02 the same time. We all do. Life is not 40:02 the same time. We all do. Life is not going to slow down enough for us to heal 40:04 going to slow down enough for us to heal 40:04 going to slow down enough for us to heal ourselves physically, physiologically. 40:06 ourselves physically, physiologically. 40:06 ourselves physically, physiologically. You're not incapable of handling your 40:08 You're not incapable of handling your 40:08 You're not incapable of handling your own life. You can totally take care of 40:10 own life. You can totally take care of 40:10 own life. You can totally take care of this. You can handle this. And you're 40:12 this. You can handle this. And you're 40:12 this. You can handle this. And you're not struggling cuz you're weak or burnt 40:13 not struggling cuz you're weak or burnt 40:13 not struggling cuz you're weak or burnt out or broken. Your neurochemistry is 40:15 out or broken. Your neurochemistry is 40:15 out or broken. Your neurochemistry is being disrupted by interference that is 40:18 being disrupted by interference that is 40:18 being disrupted by interference that is measurable, addressable, and reversible. 40:21 measurable, addressable, and reversible. 40:21 measurable, addressable, and reversible. That's it. There's a physiological 40:23 That's it. There's a physiological 40:23 That's it. There's a physiological recipe to this. And your brain is doing 40:25 recipe to this. And your brain is doing 40:25 recipe to this. And your brain is doing exactly what a brain does when its 40:27 exactly what a brain does when its 40:27 exactly what a brain does when its terrain has been compromised. Did you 40:28 terrain has been compromised. Did you 40:28 terrain has been compromised. Did you know that the brain doesn't have pain 40:30 know that the brain doesn't have pain 40:30 know that the brain doesn't have pain receptors itself? Yeah, you can 40:32 receptors itself? Yeah, you can 40:32 receptors itself? Yeah, you can experience headaches and migraines. 40:34 experience headaches and migraines. 40:34 experience headaches and migraines. Those are actually right around the 40:36 Those are actually right around the 40:36 Those are actually right around the brain. They're not in the brain itself. 40:38 brain. They're not in the brain itself. 40:38 brain. They're not in the brain itself. The brain's way of telling you that it 40:41 The brain's way of telling you that it 40:41 The brain's way of telling you that it is inflamed and in trouble. Brain fog, 40:45 is inflamed and in trouble. Brain fog, 40:45 is inflamed and in trouble. Brain fog, anxiety physiologically throughout the 40:47 anxiety physiologically throughout the 40:47 anxiety physiologically throughout the rest of the body, attention issues, 40:49 rest of the body, attention issues, 40:49 rest of the body, attention issues, nervous system dysregulation. That's the 40:52 nervous system dysregulation. That's the 40:52 nervous system dysregulation. That's the way the brain is telling you, hey, I 40:54 way the brain is telling you, hey, I 40:54 way the brain is telling you, hey, I have some junk in here I cannot clear. 40:56 have some junk in here I cannot clear. 40:56 have some junk in here I cannot clear. It's so inflamed in here. 40:57 It's so inflamed in here. 40:57 It's so inflamed in here. Neurochemically, I am distorted. Please 40:59 Neurochemically, I am distorted. Please 40:59 Neurochemically, I am distorted. Please help me out here. I know what to do. 41:01 help me out here. I know what to do. 41:01 help me out here. I know what to do. Just give me the raw inputs and I will 41:03 Just give me the raw inputs and I will 41:03 Just give me the raw inputs and I will fix myself. Your body is really smart 41:05 fix myself. Your body is really smart 41:05 fix myself. Your body is really smart that way. So, the terrain is the way 41:08 that way. So, the terrain is the way 41:08 that way.
