Impacts of Estrogen, Progesterone & Testosterone on Neurotransmitters

- -- -- The Relationship Between Sex Hormones & Mental Health Conditions, COMT, MAOA, High Copper, NMDA, RCCX Theory, 21-Hydroxylase & Why Our Personalities May Change Over Our Lifetime.

In previous podcasts, I’ve discussed many root causes of brain symptoms, none of which exist independently from our hormones. In this podcast, I’ll address the impact our sex hormones - estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone - have on our neurotransmitters. I’ll also discuss how changes in our hormones can impact our personalities and mental health over our lifetime.

While there is a great deal of diversity in our hormonal states, there are obvious similarities for those born female and similarities for those born male. Hormones are an exceedingly complex topic. I will be oversimplifying.

Thank you for giving important context to the relationship between neurotransmitters and the endocrine system.

Very high quality content! Thank you! The environmental changes we are experiencing (plastics, endocrine disruptors in food, food packaging, and personal care products etc.) are leading to behavioral changes at societal level.

Thank you again Dr. Snyder! You are a savior to many!
I put out a question on another of your older videos, so I wasn’t sure if you got it. I was told I was a low serotonin, slight undermethylator, and I am following the Walsh nutrient protocol for that. My question is, do I need take both 200mg and 50mg P5P per day? if yes, why would that be necessary?
Suzy, a big fan!!😊
