Episode notes
Trauma Drains The Body’s Nutrient Resources
- Trauma and chronic nervous-system activation depletes nutrients and disrupts brain function.
- This creates fatigue, brain fog, pain, anxiety, and downstream physical symptoms in betrayed partners.
Test, Then Target Neurotransmitter Imbalances
- Run a urine neurotransmitter panel to identify excitatory and inhibitory imbalances.
- Use targeted amino acids (e.g., GABA, L-theanine, 5-HTP) under medical supervision to rebalance production.
SSRIs Don’t Increase Serotonin Production
- SSRIs increase receptor uptake but don't raise the body's serotonin production.
- Amino acids like 5-HTP can raise natural serotonin synthesis and address low production.
