something called flat affect.
Okay?
But for decades it stays you stay in this mood numb state.
The reason why we don't aggressively treat this is because you can live with it.
It's not the thing that drives you to the emergency room or takes you to the urgent care.
And so you become mood numb.
So the question is how do we make mood in the human body?
Right, what is the main driver of mood?
Serotonin?
What's the main driver of behavior, dopamine?
And where do we make those neurotransmitters?
We make them right here in the gut.
And ninety percent, for example, of the serotonin in your body is right here.
So if you don't have it here, you can't have it here.
This is why depression can begin in your external environment, but it always continues in your internal environment.
In fact, the serotonin hypothesis of depression used to define depression as an inadequate level of serotonin, yet we never had a single drug to raise serotonin.
So the question is, how do you get the raw material to break out of that center section of mood?
This has to do with going into the gut, and it has to do with fixing the gut so that we can turn the serotonin factory back on.
In fact, if I go into this, um here it is right here.
We take an amino acid called tryptophan and we methylate it into the neurotransmitter serotonin.
