today I want to talk about five

nutritional deficiencies

that can definitely cause depression

from a physical level I’ve been doing a

serious Deep dive into DNA and I’m

finding all sorts of fascinating things

in relationship to people becoming

susceptible to nutritional deficiencies

on top of having a fairly decent diet

and out of all the things that DNA can

definitely influence the mood is right

at the top of the list now I just want

to clarify something when you’re looking

at a DNA test you’re not looking at

levels of neurotransmitters or vitamins

or hormones things like that you’re

looking at Gene variations or

alterations between people and there are

certain genes that can give you

susceptibility to having more of a

problem with a certain thing than

someone else and I’m talking about

vitamins that can affect

neurotransmitters so today I’m going to

talk about the five nutrients in

relationship to them being the most

common reason for depression and when I

get done with the list I don’t recommend

taking all of these vitamins okay I just

recommend taking one at a time so that

way you really know which one is

involved in your mode now let’s start

with number one it’s B12 if you’re

deficient in B12 you’re not going to be

able to make serotonin now b12 is

involved with a lot of different things

in the body but I want to focus more on

your mood so B12 is absolutely necessary

essential for making the

neurotransmitter serotonin and there can

be several genes involved with why

you’re not absorbing B12 or it could be

in the transfer of B12 but the point is

if you have a problem with this

genetically

but it’s going to be really hard to

satisfy B12 now I’m assuming uh you’re

consuming animal Meats okay I’m I’m

assuming that you’re not a vegetarian or

a vegan because that could be the reason

why you’re not getting B12 because B12

is in red meat it’s in organ Meats it’s

an animal protein the other reason is

that your stomach acid is not very

concentrated so you have like this weak

stomach acid where you don’t have enough

acid and the way that you know you don’t

have enough acid is that you actually

have acid reflux okay it’s coming up

through that valve on the top of your

stomach if you have acid reflux

heartburn gerd then what you need to do

before you even take B12 and start

taking betaine hydrochloride okay and I

put a link down below of what video to

watch best source of B12 you have a

choice you can either do a

methylcobolamine or hydroxy B12 okay do

not take

this synthetic version of B12 called

cyanocobolamine now the second thing I

would try is folate okay folate and I’m

not talking about the synthetic version

folic acid I’m talking about folate if

you are deficient in folate okay and

there’s many people who are I would say

30 to 40 percent of the population based

on their genetics they have this problem

with this very specific Gene called

MTHFR now normally folate is in dark

leafy green vegetables and to fix this

problem you don’t want to start taking

folic acid in fact you want to make sure

you don’t have an abundance of this

synthetic version in your supplements or

even in they put it in like an

enrichment for nutritional yeast you

want the unfortified version of

nutritional yeast but the nutrient that

you need to take is called a

methylfolate in fact it’s even used by

doctors as a natural antidepressant

folate is involved with a lot of things

and if you’re deficient you can have a

lot of problems you could be weak you

could be tired you could be lethargic

but you can also be depressed and you

might even be good to get a a supplement

that has both B12 and folate and take

those together so you’d want to get one

that has like the methylfolate and the

methylcobolamine I know I told you to

take these separately but

with these two especially if we’re

talking about genetic issues um it’s

probably a good idea to take those

together because they do work together

all right so you take these for a few

days see how you feel

and if you feel great then I wouldn’t

even worry about going on to the next

three deficiencies okay I would just

focus on this right here and then now we

know that was your big problem and the

question is how long would you take

those well if you truly have a genetic

problem you would have to take those the

rest of your life let’s say for example

your depression does not lift when you

take B12 or folate what would be the

next thing to take that would be vitamin

D3 vitamin D3 is called the happy

vitamin because it’s you get it from

Sunshine right now there’s other things

that you can get from the Sun that can

elevate your mood but vitamin D

definitely if you’re deficient you’re

going to likely be depressed in fact I

would venture to say that

great majority of people who are

depressed have very low vitamin D levels

so vitamin D is involved with so many

things the immune system inflammation

your blood sugars and the production of

not just serotonin but dopamine as well

and recently when I’m reviewing these

genetic reports and I’m looking at them

with various people

I would say like so far like 80 of them

have a problem with the vitamin D

receptor so either they’re not

converting the inactive to the active

form of vitamin D very easily or they’re

not able to absorb vitamin D very easily

so this simple solution is to start

taking vitamin D3 now how much I would

recommend taking about

20 000 IUS especially if you’re

depressed now if you’re really depressed

it might not be a bad idea to take 50

000 I use

once a week after you try vitamin D3 you

go on to number four thymine B1 now A

deficiency B1 can definitely make you

depressed but it can also make you have

anxiety and also

um highly irritated like you have no

patience

and you’re about to fly off the handle

and you have a lot of nervous energy and

tension that you can’t release and the

most common reason for a B1 deficiency

is

the over consumption of refined

carbohydrates and sugars okay yeah so

that’s the breads pasta cereal crackers

biscuits waffles pancakes that type of

things if you start taking B1 probably

take three to four minutes maybe five

and you will see a change okay it’s

going to lift you up it’s going to make

you feel better

um then you know you definitely need to

change your diet but B1 can definitely

affect your mood mainly for anxiety but

definitely for depression as well the

last one is zinc zinc is involved in

many many different biochemical

reactions but if you’re deficient in

zinc which a lot of depressed people are

you’re going to have a very hard time

making neurotransmitters I think the

reason why people might be deficient in

zinc could be a genetic problem it can

also be a diet issue they are a

vegetarian or vegan because zinc is in

red meat and animal products and also

shellfish and seafood those are the five

nutrients that I would recommend taking

one by one excluding the first two take

them together if you have depression and

anxiety now there are many other things

you can do to also improve your mood

probiotics is a really big one so get a

good probiotic because your microbes

make neurotransmitters as well and

whatever’s going on as an imbalance down

into your gut is going to affect you up

here

especially if you had antibiotics okay

there’s so many people who get depressed

after about of antibiotics and they stay

depressed because they never replenish

the microbes so anytime you ever take an

antibiotic also take a probiotic at the

same time the next thing is fasting

start getting on an intermittent fasting

program I would say like a pattern of um

18 hours of fasting and six hour eating

window would be perfect to help bring up

your mood when you fast you fix your

brain you fix a lot of things in the

body and definitely your mood will go up

and of course I’m going to recommend

combining that with keto both the

ketogenic diet and fastened together

will usually fix a depression and then

of course being out in the sun can

actually increase your mood as well as

regular exercise just to keep the stress

off the body and stimulate certain

genetics that can actually elevate your

mood and so if I depression I would want

to know all of the key factors involved

in getting rid of it and the next most

important video would be this one right
