hey guys I’m gonna talk about two really

important minerals in depression okay so

if you’re depressed or you know someone

who’s depressed haven’t watched this

video okay so let’s start with chromium

if you research chromium depression

you’ll get a lot of data a lot of

research on the connection between

chromium and a depression but they don’t

really tell you why it works and there’s

also if you type zinc and depression

you’ll see a lot of other data as well

but they’re not really telling you why

it works and the reason why these two

minerals are very effective is because

they both are intimately involved in

stabilizing blood sugars chromium helps

the blood sugars become stable a lot of

diabetics pre-diabetics take chromium

and they do very well if you’re gonna

take chromium you want to do 600

micrograms per day okay and zinc is

necessary for the production of insulin

in fact the cells that make insulin

absorb a lot of zinc out of all the

cells in the body most of the zinc is in

these cells that make insulin that’s

called beta cells in the pancreas so

that’s interesting so if you were gonna

use this I would recommend 30 milligrams

okay so these two are really effective

so let’s go a little bit further if you

look at the blood sugars and let’s say

you have low blood sugar okay because

the insulin is high because you have

insulin resistance and the body’s just

making more because it’s not connecting

okay so you might have hypoglycemia or a

subclinical version which doesn’t always

show up on a blood test now the brain is

the number one target for hypoglycemia

and the question is why well because the

brain does not store sugar like the

liver and the muscles it doesn’t have

glycogen so it’s dependent on the sugar

in your blood okay so if there’s low

sugar in the blood the brain suffers

big-time and your mood goes straight

down and you have another factor of

insulin resistance which is behind this

whole cascade which is involved with not

absorbing a protein that will not

absorbing amino acids which are

necessary for the building blocks of

neurotransmitters like dopamine

serotonin although like GABA all the

different

transmitters that elevate your mood so

we really have a double-edged sword with

this depression so these are just two

minerals that you can take in addition

to doing keto and in a minute fasting
