Wow.... have never heard this before. Makes so much sense, esp the malasezia yeast in both people and pets! Definitely need to check on this and zinc.

Yes! Pets as well. Thank you for adding that. This article mentions zinc deficiency in yeast dermatitis in dogs:

Oh, such a beautiful Kentucky sunset. I love the music too. Thank you for that and also for your great info on zinc. I've been trying to lower my copper and increasing zinc for about 3 years. It is definitely an on going process. 🌅

Thank you for commenting and sharing your views on metabolic disorders. I'd love to read how you connect these views more directly to zinc and the brain.
