let’s talk about eleven causes of

depression I’m currently reading a very

interesting book by Kelly Brogan MD

amazing credentials she’s actually a

psychiatrist and this is what she said

there is not one study that proves that

depression is a chemical imbalance

people are taught we’re told that oh

yeah you have depression you have a

chemical imbalance just take this drug

it’s going to fix it well 10 20 years

later they still have the depression and

they’re on five or six or seven or eight

medications or they might say it’s

genetic you have the gene for depression

which is absolutely not true it’s never

been proven it’s more epi genetics

epigenetics are those factors that

control your genes a lot of its

environment the food that you’re eating

the nutrition that can affect the genes

so let’s go through the eleven causes of

depression number one low vitamin D this

is why people in the winter a lot of

times get the blues because they don’t

get much Sun vitamin D can greatly help

someone’s mood and pull them out of that

depression number two low vitamin b12

now our bodies store b12 for up to a

year but at some point if you’re not

consuming animal products or you have a

problem in your gut and you run out of

b12 you’ll not only have a lot of

neurological problems from that but you

can get depression number three Mohs ink

or low chromium you can get both of

these trace minerals from shellfish a

lot of people when they consume

shellfish just feel better it brings

their mood up and that’s one of the

reasons why number four low blood sugar

or high blood sugar but if you have low

blood sugar

chances are you can have high insulin

that’s pushing the blood sugar down so

you can actually have depression from

low blood sugars or high blood sugar or

normal blood sugars because you have

insulin resistance this is why keto and

intermittent fasting are very important

when you do intermittent fasting you can

greatly elevate the moon

and when you do the ketogenic diet and

you’re producing ketones ketones are

great mood stabilizers and also ketones

feed the brain all right number five

lack of sleep and when I’m talking about

depression I’m talking about either

hopelessness or apathetic you don’t care

anymore

anxiety is different anxiety is more

like I’m nervous I’m constantly thinking

about problems and I don’t have any

solution to that

that’s anxiety all right number six

fatigue so many people that are

depressed actually are physically

exhausted and guess what that will make

you depressed being tired will give you

the sensation of depression it’s very

difficult to be depressed a huge full of

energy this is why sleep is very very

important alright number seven

postpartum you just gave birth and now

you’re depressed this is very low

estrogen okay I put a link down below of

another video that I did to increase

estrogen and you can watch that if you

just had a baby and you’re depressed

alright number eight you’re going

through your menstrual cycle and at some

point during that period of time you get

depressed same thing it’s low estrogen

now number nine you’re taking some

medication that’s that has side effects

and one of the side effects is

depression now the problem with certain

psychiatric medication is they inhibit

certain neurotransmitters like serotonin

so they caused this recycling effect so

they prevent the loss of that

neurotransmitter the problem is over

time your receptors downgrade that means

you need a little more medication to

create the same effect

and over time you need more and more and

more and the side effects go higher and

higher and next thing you know you need

another medication and another

medication and you’re getting more side

effects and more side effects alright

number 10 you have stress due to a loss

let’s say you have a loss of a loved one

well guess what depression is a normal

response to a loss if you weren’t

depressed that would be a problem okay

so this is normal 11 invite

mental situation you’re stuck in an

ongoing situation a problem that you

can’t solve and you become depressed

because of that so the best thing to do

for these situations is to make sure

your sleep is good that way your energy

will be up make sure you have enough

vitamin D and b12 and trace minerals and

definitely get on keto and especially in

a minute fasting all right thanks for
