Today, I’m going to tell you how to stop overthinking! Overthinking can trigger cortisol, which equals more stress. Stress hormones will continue to stress you out, leaving you trapped in a vicious cycle of anxious thoughts that can be very difficult to break out of.
Most of the time, anxiety and overthinking can be fixed by addressing nutritional imbalances, but people are often prescribed SSRIs. These drugs block the reabsorption of serotonin and come with several side effects. They can downgrade the receptor for serotonin, which can cause a major deficiency in serotonin.
Drugs, chronic stress, junk food, lack of sun, and vitamin D can deplete your serotonin and dopamine. Many people get the blues during the winter months because of a lack of vitamin D from the sun.
Vitamin D deficiency can lead to anxiety and depression. Research has shown that vitamin D may produce the same results as a medication for depression without the side effects!
The health of your microbiome directly affects your mental health. The microbes that help increase serotonin are very sensitive to broad-spectrum antibiotics.
To stop overthinking and improve your mental health, you’ll want to take at least 10,000 IU of vitamin D each day. You also need the microbes that make serotonin!
L. reuteri affects serotonin more than any other microbe, yet over 96% of the population is deficient! The best way to fix this problem is to make your own probiotic yogurt using L. reuteri. This microbe can help decrease anxiety, increase oxytocin, and significantly reduce cortisol.
Today we're gonna talk about the number one vitamin
that controls your mental health.
Thinking is a good thing, right?
I mean, that's a very positive thing.
But overthinking, especially too long,
especially when you're trying to go to bed at night,
can prevent you from sleeping.
When your thoughts dominate your mind
and you can't turn it off
because you're solving the problems of the world,
it becomes a problem,
which will also then trigger cortisol,
which is more stress.
Thinking about stress will activate your physical hormones
that will put your body into a stress state.
So the question is,
are the hormones causing you to do that?
Or is it your mind causing the hormones to be activated?
Well, I think both can affect each other.
But a lot of times people are stuck in this loop,
thinking and thinking.
They're very, very focused on a certain problem
or a certain thought
that they can't seem to unfixate their attention
off that one thing.
And they end up looking at different scenarios,
different ways of solving something,
speculating, sometimes creating stress
that's not even there,
which in itself is like the definition of a problem.
It's an unresolved thing.
And then you get into this paralysis of analysis.
Another name for that is you're just stuck in your head.
The reason I'm bringing this up
is that that would be the definition of anxiety,
worry, feeling nervous.
And I want to talk about
the nutritional imbalance involved in this.
There's a major deficiency of a certain nutrient
that can cause you to obsessively think
and kind of be too stuck in your head.
And unfortunately, one of the ways that people address this
is that they're put on usually an SSRI.
That's a fancy name for a drug
that blocks the reabsorption of serotonin.
So it basically kind of keeps the serotonin that you have
in your body so it doesn't go away.
But it comes with a big package.
And the package is a lot of side effects
as well as the downgrade of the receptor for serotonin.
So now you're extremely deficient in serotonin,
where before you were deficient,
but now it's like extremely low.
And one of the big symptoms of low serotonin
is this obsessive solving problems and thinking all the time
with the inability to unfixate your mind
about a certain problem.
Of course, with this medication,
oh wow, it affects your other neurotransmitters too,
like dopamine.
One of the big side effects from SSRIs,
it's called SSRI zombie syndrome
because you lose your emotions.
You feel numb to the world.
You start to lose your ability
to get any pleasure from sex.
Now, if you've been on this medication
and you have that side effect,
I do have a solution I'm gonna talk about.
But I just wanted to mention,
if you're thinking about taking this medication,
you have to be very aware of the terrible side effects
that come along with it.
So that particular symptom is a very severe deficiency
of serotonin and dopamine.
And so what Big Pharma has done
is they have a whole bunch of other medications
that manipulate other neurotransmitters in certain ways.
So there's several things that decrease serotonin.
Drugs, chronic stress, junk food, lack of sun
can also create lowered amounts of dopamine.
But the big thing that will deplete your dopamine
is not having enough vitamin D.
Of course, vitamin D comes from the sun.
This is why during the winter months,
so many people get the blues
because of a lack of vitamin D.
But now you know why,
because vitamin D helps serotonin to work.
And so if you're really deficient in vitamin D,
you're not only gonna get anxiety,
it's gonna drop down to depression as well.
In fact, there's an interesting study
that shows that vitamin D will create the exact same effects
as a medication for depression,
but of course, without the side effects.
And what's missing in this mysterious puzzle
is having all the microbiome.
Because if you take an antibiotic
and all of a sudden you get depressed,
now you know why.
Because there are certain microbes
that help increase serotonin, way more than others.
And those microbes are very sensitive
to broad spectrum antibiotics.
And a lot of times they'll kill them off
and they never come back.
And now this person is stuck in a state of stress
and they don't even realize, they don't connect the dots.
Instead they go for the medication and that makes it worse.
So there's two things I'm gonna highly recommend.
You need to get on vitamin D immediately.
And I'm not talking about a small amount,
I'm talking about at least 10,000 or more
of vitamin D3 every single day.
But there's something else that's equally as important,
making sure that you have the right microbiome,
especially the ones that are involved in serotonin.
And the microbe that affects serotonin the most
out of all the other ones,
that's virtually non-existent in 96% of the population
because of an antibiotic they had long ago,
is called L-reuteri.
Before you take L-reuteri,
I'm gonna recommend that you not take it as a probiotic.
I recommend instead you take that microbe from a supplement
and you make your own probiotic
that will allow you to get the concentrations
you're gonna need to really fix this problem.
Because this microbe not only helps you with anxiety,
but it will also increase oxytocin
that will greatly help reduce cortisol.
And this is the antidote to what we talked about before,
if you were on an SSRI
and now you're pretty much flatlined,
you don't experience pleasure anymore,
you can reestablish those feelings,
consuming it in a yogurt-like form over a period of time.
And I have this information in other videos
because it's so important.
And if you haven't seen this video,
it'll show you how to make that culture
with that microbe.
And I'll put it up right here
and I will also put it down in the description.
