Wish we all didn’t have to censor ourselves so much now. I want the rated R version! A lot of us are just a smart and knowledgeable, or more so, as doctors and we should have the right to have ALL information available. As soon as I went into menopause my whole body changed!! Now I have chronic pain and sleep issues. Not one doctor, not one, explained anything about menopause to me!! I all of a sudden started having cognitive issues ( not remembering things and brain fog) gut issues and stress!! No one related any of my symptoms to my hormones!! 5 years post menopausal and I’m thinking WTF….This is CRAZY man..!! What are these doctors doing?? Seriously! And I’ve watched my mom decline to basically being bed ridden and weak. Not one doctor, not even one, told me about osteoporosis, osteopenia, and how I need to make sure I build muscle especially BEFORE and during menopause!! I’ve learned everything I know from YouTube and books and searching for research papers. The whole medical industry has failed us! And it’s videos like these that are saving us!! Literally. And I always read the comments so we can communicate with each other.

Having a dog for a companion increases dopamine in both the human and the dog as result of petting and in general, a beautiful relationship. In fact, one trainer I've heard says that when a dog demands petting all the time, it means it is a dopamine addict.

That little tidbit he dropped about what happens from being on phone during workout was ... Wow! Thanks for this channel!

Long distance walking is the best for switching the sympathetic to the parasympathetic

Low iodine results in low levels of thyroid hormones affecting GABA. Which can lead to depression or anxiety.

Clearly spoken, quick enough not to waste time, holds the interest, doesn't "um and ar" or say "like" every few seconds as a lot of people do..brilliant interview!

Learning about GABA changed my life! @60 years of age. A friend/mentor was looking for a natural way to sleep. When reading about it, she contacted me, because I had told her I always “thought” differently. And that things were bouncing around in my head so fast that I couldn’t grab the thought. She suggested I try it in the morning on a weekend. GABA CHANGED MY LIFE!! I can think without having to work at it. And my wife can tell before me if I don’t supplement in the morning. Based upon my history, I don’t think I ever produced GABA naturally. With supplemental GABA in the morning, I no longer have to “read” other people to know how to act or react. And I have met many people in the last 10 years who have found GABA useful in the same way.

I'm a regular meditator, 4 months now. I have gotten so many benefits from this. I was able to go down 10 mg. in my antidepressant. Because of the meditation, I am able to handle the withdrawals. Now to find out how to stop hot flashes, and I'm golden.

As a former heavy drinker I can attest to the Gaba Glutamate swings and dysfunction they cause when out of balance.

[mariaf]

I have been taking GABA for a few years. I am so grateful for it.

[andrewsuttar]

This was an excellent video! Understanding GABA's role took me ages. I only finally 'got it' a few weeks ago. The simplest way to describe it is: "like the switch in overall 'readiness' between the parasympathetic and sympathetic systems."

[Bad.Pappy.Official]

Stress leads to GABA depletion. As alcohol and benzos work on the GABA receptors in the brain, it’s no surprise that alcoholism and addiction are so common in those with chronically stressful lives.

[loneranger]

I take progesterone for increasing GABA. works perfectly as a sleep aid.
