What are the minerals that you're gonna require to be able to create that? conversion very easily. And then how are you going to prevent yourself from stopping the depletion of GABA so quickly?

Now we talked about the drugs, we talked about things like alcohol or benzodiazepines, but if you're stressed all the time, your cortisol, the stress hormone in the body is going to deplete GABA very quickly. You're also going to deplete minerals as well when you have high cortisol levels for long periods of time. And are any of us stressed? Of course, we have stress in our family.

We have stress with our work. We have stress with just the types of exposures that we have. If we're on airplanes, we're stressed on an airplane, not only because of being on an 200 other people that you have never met before coughing all over you, but also because you're in tin box, tin can up in the sky with more radiation exposure and things like that.

So stress is everywhere and it's depleting GABA like crazy. And I think that's the main thing that I always... emphasize with the people that I work with is that if we're going to enhance the GABA system, we have to figure out ways to improve our capacity to decrease stress.

And one of the main ways that we do this is trying to find ways that we can engage people to become parasympathetic or relax and digest, right? One of the ways actually you can do this, interestingly enough, is have people sit down for a meal and eat. Eating actually makes you more parasympathetic

As long as you're not eating on the run and trying to feed your four children and eating at the same time, I'm not guilty of this at all ever, of course. But if you're resting and eating, you're actually going to become more parasympathetic. If you can work on your yoga, your mindfulness and your breathing techniques and increasing your exhale. So shorter inhale, longer exhale.

that's also gonna make you more parasympathetic. And if you can do that on a regular basis, you're gonna improve your GABA system. Interestingly enough, exercise also enhances the GABA system too, because exercise is going to help with the balance between your sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.

And as a result of that, you're going to reset your parasympathetic nervous system, which is great. There also is the release of a factor called BDNF, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, which is extremely important as well for a lot of different reasons, for neuroplasticity, for new growth of neurons, but also for increasing GABA in the brain. And so these are some of the things I think about.
