Are neurotransmitters the cause for depression? / Psychiatry & Neuro-biology

26 May 2021

For more information on mental health or #YaleMedicine, visit: https://www.yalemedicine.org/conditio….

For many people, depression turns out to be one of the most disabling illnesses that we have in society. Despite the treatments that we have available, many people are not responding that well. It’s a disorder that can be very disabling in society. It’s also a disorder that has medical consequences. By understand the neurobiology of depression we hope to be able more to find the right treatment for the patient suffering from this disease.

The current standard of care for the treatment of depression is based on what we call the monoamine deficiency hypothesis. Essentially, presuming that one of three neurotransmitters in the brain is deficient or underactive. But the reality is, there are more than 100 neurotransmitters in the brain. And billions of connections between neurons. So we know that that’s a limited hypothesis.

Neurotransmitters can be thought of as the chemical messengers within the brain, it’s what helps one cell in the brain communicate with another, to pass that message along from one brain region to another. For decades, we thought that the primary pathology, the primary cause of depression was some abnormality in these neurotransmitters, specifically serotonin or norepinephrine. However, norepinephrine and serotonin did not seem to be able to account for this cause, or to cause the symptoms of depression in people who had major depression. Instead, the chemical messengers between the nerve cells in the higher centres of the brain, which include glutamate and GABA, were possibilities as alternative causes for the symptoms of depression.

When you’re exposed to severe and chronic stress like people experience when they have depression, you lose some of the connections between the nerve cells. The communication in these circuits becomes inefficient and noisy, we think that the loss of these synaptic connections contributes to the biology of depression.

There are clear differences between a healthy brain and a depressed brain. And the exciting thing is, when you treat that depression effectively, the brain goes back to looking like a healthy brain, both at the cellular level and at a global scale. It’s critical to understand the neurobiology of depression and how the brain plays a role in that for two main reasons. One, it helps us understand how the disease develops and progresses, and we can start to target treatments based on that.

We are in a new era of psychiatry. This is a paradigm shift, away from a model of monoaminergic deficiency to a fuller understanding of the brain as a complex neurochemical organ. All of the research is driven by the imperative to alleviate human suffering. Depression is one of the most substantial contributors to human suffering. The opportunity to make even a tiny dent in that is an incredible opportunity.

Glucose Goddess reveals breakfast tips and how to change the way you eat for good. GLUCOSE GODDESS: Are you a martyr to mood swings, brain fog and outbursts of irrational anxiety? Do you drop into bed at night feeling exhausted but unable to sleep?

Perhaps you have just become accustomed to feeling under par, and you’ve learned to rely on coffee and sugary snacks to keep you functioning. But what you probably won’t have done is traced these symptoms back to what you ate for breakfast. And no wonder – because we don’t instantly feel the effect. Metabolic processes take hours to unfold, compound over time and become mixed with all the other things that happen in a day, so connecting the dots takes a bit of detective work.

As a biochemist, I have long been fascinated by the impact fluctuating blood sugar levels can have on our health and mood, but it was only when I started measuring my own blood glucose levels using a continuous glucose monitor (which reads glucose levels in the blood through a very thin wire piercing the skin on the upper arm) that I made the connection between what I ate for breakfast and how I felt throughout the rest of the day.

6:45 – How to stabilize your glucose levels while still enjoying your favorite carb-loaded meals
9:20 – The eye-opening reality behind why starch can be a healthier choice than sugar, and the impact of both on your glucose levels
12:05 – The shocking ways over-processed foods are manipulating your brain (and making you crave certain foods)
13:25 – Why you should NEVER eat a sugary breakfast (and what to opt for instead)
15:19 – Why fruit USED to be healthy (and the truth about the fruit we eat today)
20:34 – 4 secrets to losing weight – and keeping it off for GOOD
20:40 – How taking a tablespoon of THIS before a meal can cut your glucose spikes by a whopping 30% (and what that REALLY means for your health)
23:00 – The best time to take a walk if you want to burn fat FAST (yes, timing matters)
26:00 – My favorite meal to break a fast with – and why you should try it too
32:07 – Why you’re probably better of eating this CHEMICAL over sugar – yes, seriously!!

Glucose spike and brain health

Breakfast: Sweet vs Savoury

Hacks before and after meals

30 Oct 2023

What impact does your blood sugar level have on your brain power?

Every cell in your body needs energy to run. And one of the main ways you provide this energy is through glucose. But while eating foods high in starch and sugar will give you a glucose spike, that doesn’t actually give your body or brain the energy it needs to be consistent. I’m excited to have Jessie Inchauspé (@GlucoseRevolution) on our show today.

Jessie is biochemist who shares her insights and knowledge of the effect glucose has on the body and brain. She’s also a bestselling author, and she’s here to talk about the strategies from her latest book, The Glucose Goddess Method: The 4-Week Guide to Cutting Cravings, Getting Your Energy Back, and Feeling Amazing: https://amzn.to/49cuG97

Giving your body energy isn’t simply a matter of eating more glucose. In fact, eating too much can lead to a wide range of problems including inflammation, diabetes, and more. Listen in as Jessie shares four simple food principles you can introduce into your diet today to help balance your glucose, improve cognitive performance, and live a better life.
