Discover how the brain creates emotional states through a specific combination of neurotransmitters, and how an imbalance in these crucial chemicals can affect our moods. Listen in as we unravel the complexities of depression, from its definition as an inadequate supply of serotonin to the limitations of SSRIs in effectively treating this mental health condition. We’ll also uncover how certain nutrient deficiencies and overall gut health can impair our body's ability to synthesize serotonin, leading to anxiety and depression. We discuss the importance of supplementing with methylated nutrients and how genetic testing can help identify these deficiencies.

0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome to the ultimate human podcast. I'm Gary Brecka, the Human
0:14.8	biologist. I'm your host where we just go down the road of everything
0:18.7	longevity, biohacking, anti-aging, and wellness, everything that takes regular human beings and turns them into ultimate humans.
0:27.4	And today I'm just doing a quick short on depression because as I read the statistics about depression across the country and you know
0:34.4	there's Johns Hopkins recently put out a report that about 26% of all Americans
0:42.1	which is one in four Americans,
0:44.4	suffer from a diagnosable medical mental disorder.

1:20.3	is an emotional state I would say that it's a collection of

1:37.1	Every mood that a human being can experience, every emotional state that you can experience,
1:41.5	is nothing more than a recipe, a collection of
1:44.1	neurotransmitters put together, stirred up, entering the brain and creating an
