let’s talk about the real reason why your serotonin is low and you may be depressed or have anxiety okay now most people know that serotonin is involved with their mood when you look this up in any medical physiology book they don’t know exactly for sure what it does but they do know it’s related to someone’s mood changes so if there’s a problem with serotonin okay it can really affect your mood behaviors and a lot of other things okay there are also people who take ssris okay that stands for selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors basically they’re medications that allow you to not absorb serotonin and allow for more serotonin to be used by your body okay because normally you have these uptake or kind of receptors that absorb serotonin once it’s being released so it inactivates serotonin if you inhibit that you’re going to have more serotonin available these are medications and they have side effects and let me just give you my disclaimer right now anything that i say check with your doctor first before implementing okay all this information is based on my opinion and some of the studies down below but there are some really bad side effects with ssris number one suicide thoughts and suicide actions number two manic episodes you might have excessive energy well that’s actually not too bad compared to the other side effects but you also might have excessive happiness which again i don’t know why someone would have a problem with that but the main side effect is this and i’m going to pull this up close to a hundred percent of people who take antidepressants experience some form of sexual side effects there’s this condition called post ssri sexual dysfunction and this is a really terrible thing because it can cause genital numbness almost to the effect that it feels like someone is using an anesthetic or some type of nerve deadening agent so basically your genitals have no more feeling people also experience zero libido they feel kind of wooden and a lack of emotion some people don’t experience the emotion of love and others just get no pleasure from erections or orgasms or anything involved with the sexual act not to mention erectile dysfunction the problem is that this could last for decades okay now there’s this other thing that i found when i was looking at this it’s called discontinuation syndrome now what is that i mean this is basically just another it’s a nice name for withdrawals from this poison i’m sorry medication now i read an article on this which is basically just disgusting i just have to mention something because they were taking these serious withdrawal symptoms and turning into something that is you know just normal it says discontinuation and change are a part of life we all start and stop various activities job changes relationship changes and so forth and many medical treatments might have some side effects as we navigate through our depression and anxiety navigate through our depression and anxiety is that what people are trying to do no they’re trying to get rid of depression and anxiety they just made with serious withdrawal symptoms which by the way is just terrible because coming off these medications can actually exaggerate these symptoms and they could last for decades so that being said why are people so deficient in serotonin that’s what i want to talk about right now 95 plus percent of all the serotonin in your body is not actually made by your body it’s made by your good bacteria in your gut so we are dependent on our good bacteria for serotonin and a lot of other things like our immune system only a very tiny percent of all the serotonin made in the body is made by your brain okay that’s point zero zero zero zero zero one that’s one one millionth of all the serotonin is made by your brain so you could pretty much look at that as virtually zero right the majority of serotonin is made by not our own bodies but bacteria so if anything goes wrong with our bacteria serotonin can suffer greatly now i want to introduce you to this this word here called glyphosate okay what is glyphosate that is a very specific herbicide it’s one of the most common herbicides weed killers that is just all over the world right now almost every chemical company makes it because the patent ran out and i want to just explain a little bit about this okay in 1960 it was discovered that this chemical could be used as a descaling agent what does that mean basically it’s a chemical that can bind with a metal okay or a mineral like manganese for example or zinc so that was in 1960 and in 1969 they found that it kills plants and then 1996 they came out with something called roundup ready okay and that’s a herbicide that kills weeds if you look up glyphosate roundup ready you’re going to see a lot of mixed reviews you’re going to see positives you’re going to see negatives and it’s going to be very confusing there’s huge pr campaigns to make it appear to be safe and basically what they say is that it’s safe because it doesn’t affect humans okay at least how it affects plants and animals because it blocks this very specific pathway called the shikimate pathway now this pathway really involves enzymes enzymes are proteins enzymes always have a metal or mineral as their base okay and this sigma pathway has manganese so glyphosate basically works by binding with manganese making this enzyme not work anymore in bacteria in plants well guess what’s interesting about this this specific enzyme okay makes three actually three to four but it’s three main amino acids tyrosine phenylalanine and tryptophan okay tryptophan what is tryptophan and well you know maybe you’ve heard of tryptophan as a supplement people take it for um for sleep and mood and to build up their serotonin because serotonin comes from tryptophan you can’t make serotonin without tryptophan if you block the production of tryptophan and by the way tryptophan is an essential amino acid that means that our body can’t make it and we must get it from another source so i found some fascinating research relating to this chemical and lowered tryptophan and lowered serotonin amounts so even though our bodies don’t have this pathway our microbiome is a huge part of our health and our immune system and our ability to make neurotransmitters and you really need to consider the microbiome as another organ you know um a bushel of corn used to weigh about 56 pounds okay in the past now if you weigh a bushel of corn it’s 54 pounds so we’re missing two pounds where is that going well since the great majority of corn is gmo that means that it’s been exposed to glyphosate and this enzyme has been deactivated because it’s been bound with manganese so basically this is two pounds less because we’re missing two pounds of this metal or mineral manganese which weighs about two pounds per bushel so i believe this herbicide is really behind a problem with serotonin worldwide now let’s talk about what we can do about it is there a strategy this is what i’m going to recommend as a strategy immediately start eating organic foods now does that mean that all organic foods don’t have traces of glyphosate no but it does mean that it has less glyphosate and i don’t want to go too far down into that rabbit hole but non-gmo does have less but if you’re looking at foods that have organic versus non-gmo organic has less glyphosate the other thing i’m going to highly recommend is if you’re going to get you know meats grass-fed grass finished because these animals consume grains that have been exposed to glyphosates so if you can get actually grass-fed grass-finished meats that’s going to help you not be exposed to that herbicide as much and of course you know also eggs you know get organic pasture-raised eggs number two avoid the most common foods that are heavily sprayed with this gl
