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
