Sounds like a fantastic opportunity! Thanks for putting this out there. If available near me, I'm 100% in. Hope everything goes smoothly with the NIH grant.

My understanding of the biology is that these drugs can induce neurogenesis, in part through an increase in BDNF. This is believed to be one of - maybe the primary - ways that SSRIs work. Different SSRIs raise BDNF to different degrees - in one study Zoloft was superior to other commonly-prescribed...

I'd be curious to know if anyone has thoughts on the following paper: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.celrep.2018.05.022 Highlights and Summary (copied from paper) Serotonergic psychedelics increase neuritogenesis, spinogenesis, and synaptogenesis Psychedelics promote plasticity via an evolutionarily cons...

You may know this already, but I would want to stress getting sufficient B1, B2, Niacin (or NAD), magnesium and zinc. The way I got a glimpse of my own methylation status was by taking the NutrEval FMV from Genova Diagnostics, which includes your energy metabolism, creatinine (which will reveal met...

Read cover to cover. Can confirm that very useful!

Hi everyone, What's the best way to figure out if someone is methylating properly? Is there anything other than testing homocysteine (and the usual candidates, such as folate and B12) that one can do? I'm also curious to hear from people who improved their methylation and noticed differences in thei...

Hi rrmolo, it's been a while since you wrote this, but can you possibly link to the video you mentioned? I can't find it on Amazon.

Thanks for recommending this. I'm reading it at the moment.

Would anyone like a 60-capsule container of Metagenics Methyl Care? It's a combined supplement for methylation support. I originally bought it because my functional doc recommended it, but I ended up deciding to use individual supplements instead (so that I could play around with dosage if needed). ...
