So making sure your vitamin B6 and your magnesium levels are optimized. making sure your gut is optimized. If you have a leaky gut, that's also going to mess up your GABA levels for a number of different reasons. It's going to mess them up because of the signaling in your gut itself. But your small intestines fuel is actually glutamine, which is the amino acid where glutamate is made from.

And so you're going to have a lack of supply to get the glutamate in the brain and then all these other kinds of things. And then your, your blood brain barrier is going to get leaky too. And then that's not going to be cool. You get more inflammation. And this is why people take GABA supplements. Like they shouldn't work.

GABA supplements, GABA is too big of a molecule to get across the blood brain barrier. But if you take GABA and it works for you, it can be almost diagnostic that your blood brain barrier is not doing what it's supposed to do. And so the way we formulated it to prescriptions was ways to get things across into the brain and

hopefully because your blood-brain barrier is intact, and then help support the GABA system in a very comprehensive way so that you're not depleting GABA while you're also enhancing the GABA system. And that's kind of like the secret sauce at Transcriptions. We have something called like an obligate pair or oblipair, which we've actually patented this actual way of formulating.

This is all Dr. Ted's brainchild, but patented in a way where you're supporting the GABA system by binding things on the GABA receptor to where GABA would bind, and also a separate site where you increase the affinity for GABA to bind.

And by doing them in combination, you decrease the risk of tolerance, withdrawal, or any other side effects of binding the GABA system too tightly and depleting GABA over time, which is what alcohol does. It's what the benzodiazepines do. It's what barbiturates do. This is what Ambien does and those drugs as well.

They shouldn't. If they do, it means that the blood-brain barrier is likely not doing its job. Really? But a lot of these supplements also have a combination of things in there. So they have things like L-theanine or that they have kava or lemon balm or ashwagandha. These are all things that can get across the blood-brain barrier and do have an effect on the GABA system in various ways.

So the GABA itself in there is not doing much, but the other ones could be potentially. So that's what's going on. And so if you're taking a GABA supplement, GABA by itself, then that's when you're thinking, well, is this really working? Is it working? And why is it working? Oh God, my blood-brain barrier is leaky. And so if that's the case, don't get scared. It's okay. It's common.

The most common reason is that you have a leaky gut and the leaky gut needs to be addressed overall. And that's a whole nother conversation. But in general, if you can seal up the gut, you're going to seal up the blood-brain barrier too. And so for me, sleep is a dance of a lot of neurotransmitters. It's not just GABA, of course.

You have your melatonin, you have your 5-HTP, and you have your cortisol, and making sure your cortisol rhythms are optimized, your melatonin rhythms are optimized, and et cetera, et cetera. But enhancing the GABA system really is kind of like the one that rules them all overall as far as being able to maintain sleep and really see overall stability in your sleep patterns over time too.
