  • Summary

  • In the second episode of my anxiety series, I’m talking about the biochemical imbalances I treat in my clinic that have a tremendous impact on anxiety. Understanding your unique biochemistry, meaning the nutrient imbalances and overloads within your body, is a powerful pathway to healing.

    In this episode, I discuss:

    • The impact of biochemical imbalances on anxiety
    • How your brain is a chemical factory that requires certain nutrients to function optimally
    • Methylation is a process that affects neurotransmitter activity and development, and imbalances can lead to anxiety
    • Undermethylation and overmethylation are two variables of unbalanced methylation (too few or too many methyl groups)
    • Copper toxicity affects mental health by lowering dopamine and increasing norepinephrine in the brain
    • Zinc deficiency is linked to low neurotransmitter function, which can cause chronic anxiety
    • Pyrrole disorder is a mood and stress disorder that results in deficiency of zinc and vitamin B6 that can cause high anxiety
