Wish we all didn’t have to censor ourselves so much now. I want the rated R version! A lot of us are just a smart and knowledgeable, or more so, as doctors and we should have the right to have ALL information available. As soon as I went into menopause my whole body changed!! Now I have chronic pain and sleep issues. Not one doctor, not one, explained anything about menopause to me!! I all of a sudden started having cognitive issues ( not remembering things and brain fog) gut issues and stress!! No one related any of my symptoms to my hormones!! 5 years post menopausal and I’m thinking WTF….This is CRAZY man..!! What are these doctors doing?? Seriously! And I’ve watched my mom decline to basically being bed ridden and weak. Not one doctor, not even one, told me about osteoporosis, osteopenia, and how I need to make sure I build muscle especially BEFORE and during menopause!! I’ve learned everything I know from UKposts and books and searching for research papers. The whole medical industry has failed us! And it’s videos like these that are saving us!! Literally. And I always read the comments so we can communicate with each other.

We've known that the strongest is Oxytocin, the chemical of love. When you hug someone you love, when you laugh with those you love. It's the bomb. ty 4 vid.

Having a dog for a companion increases dopamine in both the human and the dog as result of petting and in general, a beautiful relationship. In fact, one trainer I've heard says that when a dog demands petting all the time, it means it is a dopamine addict.

Another exceptional short but incredibly interesting and information interview with another expert. This collab was super interesting. Thanks Thomas!!

Thank you Thomas and Dr. Scott for all the great info! God bless you both.

Glycine + NAC is the best combo for GABA upregulation and overall brain detox. . Great video man, thanks!

Thank You Dr. Scott Scherr and Thomas! Amazing content!

That little tidbit he dropped about what happens from being on phone during workout was ... Wow! Thanks for this channel!

I love this Doctor, very accurate with information. I love his speed talking, my brain is more awake. ❤ 😊

I really like those guest interviews. We need more!

Thanks for this! Emphasizes importance of GABA. Great talk!

Arguably one of the best videos you have put out. ty!!

Thanks for this one. So potent and usefully organized. And also, that painting at the end of the table, amazing. Even from this layered distance, it calls for a good long stare.

Hi I have worked shift work for 30 years. ICU and Emergency trauma, the stress freight train, lived on cortisol for ever! Burnt out Registered Nurse, Gaba depleted, Thanks for the information. You have changed my life, Huge life style change.

Love this video. This is such interesting information from Dr. Sherr. Thank you for helping us understand more about how our bodies work

Low iodine results in low levels of thyroid hormones affecting GABA. Which can lead to depression or anxiety.

Love these kinds of videos, they are good for getting the ball rolling and learning about something new. I learned a lot about GABA that I did not know and it helped me fill in the gaps of my existing knowledge. Good and informative video. 👍

Exceptional interview and conversation, thank you for advanced concepts.🌟🏆🌟

scott is the man. he knows so much

Interesting aside about MSG ! I had the worst head pressure and headache after consuming it! This interview is deep and very informative!!!! Thank you!!

Great video! It was pleasant to listen, I was making notes and repeating some fragments few times to not miss anything. Like every single word seems so important, wow. Thanks guys! Huge respect for both of you.

This is great man. What a wealth of knowledge.

Warning: Cancer cells feed off glutamine as much as they do sugar. If anyone is on an anti-cancer therapy or regime should AVOID excess glutamine.

Very informative, thank you!

Have this guy back! Good show

Learning about GABA changed my life! @60 years of age. A friend/mentor was looking for a natural way to sleep. When reading about it, she contacted me, because I had told her I always “thought” differently. And that things were bouncing around in my head so fast that I couldn’t grab the thought. She suggested I try it in the morning on a weekend. GABA CHANGED MY LIFE!! I can think without having to work at it. And my wife can tell before me if I don’t supplement in the morning. Based upon my history, I don’t think I ever produced GABA naturally. With supplemental GABA in the morning, I no longer have to “read” other people to know how to act or react. And I have met many people in the last 10 years who have found GABA useful in the same way.

Clearly spoken, quick enough not to waste time, holds the interest, doesn't "um and ar" or say "like" every few seconds as a lot of people do..brilliant interview!

I would like to see Dr. Sherr and Dr. Huberman talk about this together.

Great guest! Great video! Thank you! 🙏🏼

Loving these short form interviews with other experts. Keep em coming! 🤙

This was an excellent video! Understanding GABA's role took me ages. I only finally 'got it' a few weeks ago. The simplest way to describe it is: "like the switch in overall 'readiness' between the parasympathetic and sympathetic systems."

Great opportunity to learn thank you both so much I really enjoyed this👍

Great conversation! Thx you!!

Thank you!! I really appreciate this info. Much needed. I will be trying the troche ZZZ.

My favorite way to ingest herbs is by microdosing. I feel as though I get the benefits without possible negative side effects. I've had a valerian root/alcohol tincture I've been soaking for 3 years. Its soooooo strong, I'm going to dilute it and ingest some at night before bed.

I take progesterone for increasing GABA. works perfectly as a sleep aid.

Great title - better than dopamine love it. Appreciate the info in this video - I find I can access amazing feelings through breathwork, apparently similar to DMT.

Great info Thank you. Ordered some of his products. I would be interested in hearing Scotts take on phenibut

Long distance walking is the best for switching the sympathetic to the parasympathetic

Awesome content.

This was so timely for me…thank you

Thomas you have some of the very best health information on the internet 😊

Tried to check the website out, but gave up after they tried to make me fill out a damn survey to even see the products. Tell me part of your business model is selling information on customers with out telling me. Recockulous.

32:00 Threading the needle of dopamine and glutamine depletion (as well as his patent compounding chew products) are likely the most direct stress and relaxed control advice possible.

That was a very good summary and at the same time specifics about GABA support

Very nice build as always. Great video.

I've been on the kava/valerian combo for my extreme anxiety on work days. I also have ADHD. I've always relied on my herbal knowledge to treat my mental health concerns. I also use 5 Htp and melatonin. You touched on my whole regime.

I work in Addiction Recovery and so many of my clients are prescribed Gabapentin which is a GABBA agonist and it makes so much sense now.

Love awesome lots of info...and he explains all very thoroughly and doesn't take all day boring me. This was a load of great information and he got right to it, adding all combinations in with it and did not take forever for so much information ! Excellent delivery !!! Thaaaaank You !!!!

msg is a Total no go for my head... 😮.. Really appreciate your thorough explanations.. PS (valerian)is such a helpful and underrated tool

I'm a regular meditator, 4 months now. I have gotten so many benefits from this. I was able to go down 10 mg. in my antidepressant. Because of the meditation, I am able to handle the withdrawals. Now to find out how to stop hot flashes, and I'm golden.

I have been taking GABA for a few years. I am so grateful for it.

This video was sooooooooo helpful! Thank you!

Great info. This makes not eating enough symptoms make sense as well.

Very good video, simply put. I'm exhausted.

Glycine has effects on the GABA receptors and does much more, including increasing glutathione and reducing homocysteine.

I appreciate the knowledge that is given. I also love dispelling information that might guide us all in a beneficial direction. Not a huge fan of selling your company and products every 2 minutes.

Thank You So Much for Sharing 😊

Few drops of lavendar essential oil in bath also boosts gaba

As far as Kava goes, if you have low blood pressure like me, I would not suggest taking it. It made me feel awful. If you have high blood pressure, it might work very well for you

i really enjoyed this video topic and information

I’ve always known I was super sensitive to MSG.. yet there were all those articles saying it was fine and the worries were blown out of proportion.. yet every time I accidentally ate it I’d get dehydrated and wouldn’t be able to sleep, sometimes it would make my kidneys ache! I’d be able to tell without knowing what had gone into a meal, whether it had MSG in based just on my body’s response. So it wasn’t psychosomatic. Finally this video has explained the mechanism, makes perfect sense. I’m sensitive to nervous system strain so an effect on GABA is obvious. Thanks for the info. Nice to know I wasn’t imagining things 👍 Best part of UKposts is stuff like this. So helpful.

I really enjoyed this interview! I notice that if I only get 3 hours of sleep, my energy levels drop drastically. I need 6 hours minimum to get through the demands of the day.

Im actually on Now brand Gaba with b6 it works wonderfully ...500mg

TY for this video . I needed this one .

Very interesting discussion. Explains a lot about how certain foods, stressors mess up your system.

Cedar bear extracts has a combo called kava calm that has most of the compounds in a liquid dropper bottle that’s fantastic.

This is great, thanks. I used to use GABA a lot but it has become very difficult to get in the UK - no laws or anything, no discussion but they're restricting all kinds of substances that are really useful to us. For a few years now have been using powdered l-theanine under the tongue and it is just magic. A small amount enables me to concentrate on work for longer, a larger dose helps me to calm down and sleep better at night. Highly recommend it. Edit: I wonder whether GABA taken directly DOES help not just if you have a leaky gut but because, perhaps, the gut has GABA receptors just as it has serotonin receptors?

Thanks for introducing me to this guy mr Thomas

Bravo, we love you !

100% agree gaba agonism is way better for my mental health these antidepressants affecting dopamine and serotonin seemingly do naff all

He said the first thing we need to do is SLOW THE EFF DOWN .. was he referring to playback speed?

Aminos are such a trip!! I am taking notes and taking varying amounts on GABA daily. Fascinating❤❤❤

Thomas, this one is massive love this guy.... that has totally answered all my question awesome 👌

I was about to argue the point of GABA supplements working because they do, as he said, if you have leaky brain, which I believe many do. If you want to test this, do the GABA challenge. Take about 3 grams of GABA on a relatively empty stomach. If you have a leaky brain, you will soon find out. For me, it happened in about 20 minutes. When GABA crosses the blood brain barrier, it resets your neurosystem and for about 20 seconds or so, you will become short of breath. If you didn't know to expect it, it would almost be concerning but it leaves as fast as it comes. BTW, I think that demographically speaking GABA does work because I believe that many individuals that suffer from poor health that leads to poor neurotransmitter health also have high levels of inflammation brought on by leaky gut and leaky brain.

Thats why people like to drink as it interacts with Gaba giving you that relaxed feeling but its a double edged sword as you could get addicted to it and end up becoming an alcoholic if you are predisposed to the condition ,

Thank you for this

apprieciate the introduction sir!

Amanita Muscaria sacred medicine being mentioned - be still my heart! ❤🍄❤️

The ibotenic acid in Amanita Muscaria mushroom has to get decarboxylated and will transform to muscimol which acts as GABA just a little stronger

Great information 👍

GREAT Video!! Wealth of knowledge

The valerian root can cause you to wake up in the night if used regularly. I read this in a study somewhere, and Ithen I remembered my grandmother was using this herb often. And she often complained that she always wakes up in the night.

This is absolutely amazing 👍👌👊🏻🌈thank you both

This was amazing

As a former heavy drinker I can attest to the Gaba Glutamate swings and dysfunction they cause when out of balance.

I ruminate. In addition to being diagnosed autistic, ADHD, bipolar (type 2), and living with CPTSD and lifelong tinnitus. My inner dialogue is hard to shut up once it gets going. I tend to read to sleep, which generally helps. However, some hostile worker in my brain once thought it would be funny to give me nightmares and stressmares to wake me when I need to pee, and the pattern stuck Most of the time, my air filter's white noise and either crickets or rain ASMR calm me okay, drown out the tinnitus. If I find I can not go back to sleep, sometimes I will read again if I can shift focus; but more often these days I just turn on a podcast. Basically, I need cerebral distraction using as few senses as possible. It took years to get used to my CPAP, even the simple nostril strap I use, and I'm mostly used to wearing a lightweight mask to block the ridiculous number of lights we have nowadays. But it's so much crap touching me when I just want my mind and body to take a break from one another. I'll discuss GABA with my psychiatrist. We just finished the process of shifting from an SSRI to bupropion and so far, so good, except that I'm still in that early stage off the Duloxetine where I still get the weird withdrawal weird-headedness, which will pass. I've put a lot of energy of late into fine tuning my feeding and meds timing, too, and seem to have had good results, save the sudden mild deficiency in blood cells. Other doctors and I are pursuing answers for that, hopefully will just turn out to be a side effect of now-gone giant kidney stones (calcium oxalates, the ironic dark side of eating lots of veggies). But you never know. I went through intensive chemo, a sternotomy with tumor resection, and about 5.5 months of antibiotics over 9 months, 12 years ago, and I'm still discovering ways in which all that f'ed up my body. Gut seems to finally be normal(ish), now. Sleep mostly okay, other than as mentioned above, now that the gut is okay and I've eliminated all the extra sources of chronic inflammation (turns out I must not eat allium, e.g. garlic, sadness), I've (mostly) stopped injuring myself for thinking I could still exert myself the way I could when I was 4, much less 40 (cancer at 42). My life is so… gratuitous with the unnecessary. LOL Small wonder I have such a dark sense of humor; but that kept me in good straits with all my care teams. Attitude matters. And I've seen how much worse it can be for me. Fine, I turn 55 in a few weeks and it no longer feels like aged 20 years in one, just half that. It's a work in progress. Yes, I'm just blithering at this point. :) I'm looking at the troscriptions website and will do the rest of my yammering with my psychiatrist and nutritionist. Thanks for the video. As you can see by the flood of alphabet soup, I got me thinking about what I'll tackle next. Replacing my passport and convincing friends in other countries to sponsor me?

Great info!! Thank you!

great info.. one of your more interesting podcasts.. thanks for sharing... AOR puts out a good mag product.. Mag. Synergy.

Weighted blankets really relax. can feel a peaceful current running upward almost immediately. I don't have bad dreams sleeping under a weighted blanket. I'm certain it stimulates parasympathetic nervous system.I use a 12lb in my bed at night and a 15 pound for relaxation pauses during the day on my couch.

I thought they realized Gaba is made in the gut? " People also ask Is GABA produced in the gut or brain? It should be noted that GABA is mainly produced by Bacteroides in the gut and that Bacteroides is the largest group of GABA producers in the gut (Pokusaeva et al., 2017)."

great conversation ! However I found it hard to keep up with how fast Dr Sherr talked its not in keeping with what he is conveying , thanks for the great info!

Excellent content thanks!

Years ago I remember my mom taking a product called immunotec or immunocal. It had something like Glutathione precursor, whey protein and NAC. It was meant to strengthen immune system and antibodies. Reading comments, it’s mentioned to take glynac with gaba. I wonder if all these have the same effect?

Thomas you are also an excellent interviewer as you don't interrupt to ' one up" the guest , you ask questions with the listeners questions in mind... your comments show respect and modesty. I'm glad you have 12-30 min talks as I can't listen to the 1-2 hour interviews . Lover your 12 main habits . I wonder if you have spoken about the benefits of " grounding" and having your feet connect to the earth especially in the morning..personally I've been wondering about a little 3 foot square play box of that pure play sand as real sand feels wonderful to stand in...I wonder if it would help to do that inside the house . Thanks so much for your brilliant explanations .

Excelente. Gratidão imensa 😻

Love this discussion
