Pyrrole Disorder & Low Stress Tolerance

In this video and podcast episode, I discuss pyrrole disorder - one of the most common nutrient imbalances in brain-related conditions affecting adults and children. Elevated Hydroxyhemopyrrolin-2-one (HPL) in the urine, often referred to as “pyrroles,” has been associated with depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, autism, ADHD, learning disorders, substance use disorders, and violent behavior. Here, I address:

• How pyrrole disorder relates to other “root causes.”

• What we know, what we don’t know, and why this topic is controversial.

• Causes.

• Zinc and B6 depletion and how these impact brain health.

• Brain and physical symptoms and traits.

• Treatment.

• How low-stress tolerance can impact one’s ability to pursue meaningful education, work, and relationships.

As always, I welcome your questions and comments.

Have a good week,

Courtney
