so I’ve done other videos on depression

I wanted to do one video that covers all

of the reasons for physical depression

I’m not talking about something caused

by the mind or a mental disorder that’s

a completely different topic I’m mainly

talking about what can happen to your

physical body that can cause depression

okay so this is the updated video on

depression alright number one if you

have low omega-3 fatty acids now there

are three main types of omega-3 fatty

acids ala and then EPA I didn’t put this

in there and then DHA

but DHA is the most important one as far

as getting the active form of omega-3

especially relating to countering

depression because DHA does affect the

mood this set right here called alpha

linolenic acid is mainly in plants not

in animals but this is like a precursor

to this one the problem is it only

converts at 5% so if you’re not

consuming things to give you DHA

directly you might not have enough or

you’re definitely not going to have

enough because you’re not going to get

that much conversion DHA mainly comes

from fatty fish like cod liver oil

things like that it’s also an eggs it’s

in organ meats things like that and you

can also if you’re a vegetarian you can

consume algae to get it

alright so low a mega three can create

depression next one low b12 one of the

challenges would be 12 is that b12 is

mostly in animal products eggs seafood

definitely in liver in meats dairy

however I do know that certain microbes

make b12 but what’s interesting is I had

my wheatgrass tested a while ago and I

found out that it had double the RDAs of

b12 which is fascinating because we

cress does not make b12 so it was coming

from the microbes growing within the

product so you potentially can get b12

from certain microbes okay low vitamin D

think about during the winter months

when a lot of people get kind of

winter blues that’s because of a little

vitamin D because of the lack of Sun one

point about vitamin D I would I would

point out is that if you’re on a low

cholesterol diet if you’re taking a

statin that’s blocking cholesterol if

you have some type of problem that you

can’t produce enough cholesterol you may

not be able to make enough vitamin D

because cholesterol is the precursor to

make vitamin D so the only reason I’m

bringing it up is that if you’re on a

cholesterol medication and you’re

depressed it could be because of that

connection right there okay next one is

low vitamin b1 which is thiamine

nutritional yeast is the best source

pork actually out of all the meats have

the highest highest amounts of b1 organ

meats have b1 sunflower seeds have b1

what crates of b1 deficiency is refined

sugars in grains okay the more

carbohydrate someone consumes the more

b1 they need so in other words high

carbohydrate diets require twice the

amount of b1 okay next one is high

cortisol that’s a stress hormone

produced by the adrenal glands so if

your stress is really high you can get

anxiety and eventually depression

because it’s going to affect your sleep

when you’re really really tired you can

get really depressed

and a lot of times people that are

depressed are really just fatigued to

the point where they feel depressed but

it really it’s a physical fatigue not

even depression so depression is kind of

like a a situation where your apathetic

like you have no motivation you don’t

feel like doing anything you don’t care

anymore

you’re hopeless but for cortisol taking

vitamin D will help sleepy more will

help exercise will definitely help

especially if it’s aerobic long walks

low stress lots of oxygen can lower

cortisol I’ve done many videos on this

as well you can check them out the next

one insulin resistance now this is one

of the most common causes of depression

right here because what this is going to

create is higher amounts of insulin

that’s going to lower your blood sugar

so you’re going to end up with kind of

low blood sugar situation and you’re

going to feel

they’re irritable edgy the press down

you know kind of like mentally sluggish

that’s a really big symptom so the

solution for this is healthy keto in in

a minute fasting not more carbs less

carbs I put a link down below to really

understand this and teach you what to

eat to resolve this right here all right
