In this video and podcast episode, I discuss pyrrole disorder - one of the most common nutrient imbalances in brain-related conditions affecting adults and children. Elevated Hydroxyhemopyrrolin-2-one (HPL) in the urine, often referred to as “pyrroles,” has been associated with depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, autism, ADHD, learning disorders, substance use disorders, and violent behavior. Here, I address:
* How pyrrole disorder relates to other “root causes.”
* What we know, what we don’t know, and why this topic is controversial.
* Causes.
* Zinc and B6 depletion and how these impact brain health.
* Brain and physical symptoms and traits.
* Treatment.
* How low-stress tolerance can impact one’s ability to pursue meaningful education, work, and relationships.
As always, I welcome your questions and comments.
Have a good week,
Courtney
