Summary

EP. 225: Grab my FREE 4 Part Video Series: GLP1s Uncovered: https://bit.ly/GLP1uncovered Today I’m covering the pros and cons of SSRIs and what the science really tells us about their effects on your health. We’ll explore the limits of serotonin research, what the studies reveal about bone density, hip and spine health, and fracture risk, along with how serotonin receptors influence these areas. I’ll also cover potential downsides like cardiac risk, increased bleeding, and nutrient depletion, but we’ll balance that with some surprising benefits on brain health and their anti-inflammatory effects. Topics Discussed: → What are the pros and cons of taking SSRIs? → How do SSRIs affect bone density and fracture risk? → Can SSRIs impact heart health and bleeding risk? → What are the brain health benefits of SSRIs? → Why you should never stop SSRIs without medical advice?

0:06.4	On this episode of the Dr. Tina show, we're going to be talking all about SSRIs, selective
0:12.5	serotonin reuptake inhibitors. A lot of folks are taking these medications. I am someone
0:18.6	who took these medications for a very long time and I want to make sure that you
0:22.9	guys are fully aware of the impacts that they're having on your body that no one else is talking
0:27.8	about. So let's jump in. All right, I've got to get my glasses on because I've got a lot of
0:33.1	studies here to share with you and I want to make sure that we get through this in a timely manner.
0:37.3	I want to start out by we get through this in a timely manner.
