S2:E8 "BITE-SIZED" Rethinking The Serotonin MYTH | Dr. Sande BIn this episode of the Rethink It podcast, Dr. Sande explores the serotonin myth and its implications for understanding depression. She discusses how the traditional view of depression as a chemical imbalance, particularly a lack of serotonin, is not supported by scientific evidence. Instead, she highlights alternative factors such as chronic inflammation, gut health, mitochondrial dysfunction, and stealth infections that can contribute to depression. Dr. Sande emphasizes the importance of holistic approaches to mental wellness, including dietary changes, lifestyle adjustments, and emotional healing.To connect further, reach out at www.beyondbrainhealth.comRead more about ANTIDEPRESSANTS AND SEROTONIN from Dr. Sande:https://beyondbrainhealth.com/why-your-antidepressant-isnt-working-rethinking-the-serotonin-myth/Read the original article from Joanna Moncrieff, "The serotonin theory of depression: a systematic umbrella review of the evidence":https://www.nature.com/articles/s41380-022-01661-0Shop some of these products and more:https://rnareset.com/?ref=urdffoeyWant to see more of me?
