Pyrrole Disorder & Stress Induced Personality Changes
from Holistic Psychiatry Podcast · host Courtney Snyder MD
In this episode I discuss Pyrrole Disorder - a common biochemical imbalance in brain disorders caused by an excessive production of HPL (a hydroxyhemopyrrolin). A hallmark of Pyrrole Disorder is poor stress intolerance. Other common symptoms can be social avoidance and/or temper outbursts. In this episode I'll answer: What are pyrrols? How does an overproduction contribute brain symptoms? What are the symptoms and traits (brain related and physical that can be seen) in adults and children? How can we become "pyrroluric"? How can I test my pyrrole level? How is Pyrrole Disorder treated?From the Walsh Research Institute of over 30,000 patients with brain disorders:ADHD - 18 % (18% of individuals diagnosed with ADHD had elevated pyrroles)Behavioral Disorders - 28 %Autism - 35%Depression - 24%Bipolar Disorder - 35%Schizophrenia - 30%Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - 12%Alzheimer's Disease - 14%Healthy Controls (no psychiatric symptoms) - 8%___________________________________________________Subscribe to my newsletter (or learn more about root causes to brain symptoms)— https://www.courtneysnydermd.comPlease consider rating or reviewing, liking or commenting, if you'd like to help me get this information out into the world.
