Prices will increase after the summit.
Got questions? Please ask them in the comment section below.
Have you come across a correspondence between pyroluria and sensory gating deficit? I’m interested after just today learning about the latter from the depression summit video with Corey Schuler, when he and Sean Croxton were talking about what causes the feeling of overwhelm when too much is going on at once. Rang very loud bells for me, and it was great to have an explanation for this. Having listened to your wonderful telesummit presentations on pyroluria and doing the questionnaire in your book (score 22!) I’m realising that pyroluria is an issue for me, and I’m wondering if both aspects are part of the same picture. Have started with the B6, zinc and evening primrose oil.
Would be fascinated and grateful to have your thoughts on this.
Thanks so much for all you do.
Hi Sue
I am not familiar with this condition but just grabbed this from Corey’s transcript (for me and other readers of this post: “There’s something called prepulse inhibition or sensory gating. That is actually our filter. It’s
how we take in information from sounds, our vision and even temperature, humidity, stuff like that
and how we make sense of it. There are some people who have poor sensory gating and low prepulse
inhibition.
There are a certain groups that actually have known low prepulse inhibition. One of those groups is people who have PTSD or post traumatic stress discorder and schizophrenia. Schizophrenics get studied all the time for have low prepulse inhibition.”
All this is new to me and interesting since much of the early pyroluria research was with schizophrenics, so there may be a connection.
If you could share which of the pyroluria symptoms you have from this questionnaire if will help me do some digging https://www.everywomanover29.com/blog/pyroluria-questionnaire-from-the-antianxiety-food-solution/ – I would guess these ones? 24, 29, 36?
Once you’ve been on the supps I’d love to hear if the sensory gating issues reduce?
When I read the Vegas sensory overload they talked about it also made me think of adrenal burnout so I’d look into that too
Hi Trudy
Thanks so much for your response. My pyloria symptoms from the questionnaire are:
1,2,3,5,6,7,12,13,14,15,19,22,24,25,26,28,29,31,34,36,39. So, yes, all the ones you mention.
I’m sure adrenal burnout is an issue and I’ve been trying to address it. Difficult though when life keeps throwing stressful things at you, and I do wonder whether, if you have pyroluria, adrenal burnout isn’t inevitable? I can’t see anything on adrenal burnout in your book – can you point me towards a good source of information/treatment please?
Thinking of you with your family illness problems – hope all is going as well as possible.
Sue
Sue
Thanks for your kind words about my family medical issues – things are going better and better each day.
Adrenal issues are very common and may be the stress that makes pyroluria symptoms worse.
This is an excellent book – Adrenal Fatigue: The 21st Century Stress Syndrome by James Wilson and Jonathan V Wright
A more recent book is The Adrenal Reset Diet by Dr Alan Christianson – I interviewed him on season 2 of The Anxiety Summit https://www.everywomanover29.com/blog/adrenals-anxiety-tranquility
In your interview you mentioned the Lidtke brand of tryptophan and stated that using it sublingually works best. When I went to their website, I noticed they have capsules and chewables. Which do you prefer? Do you open the capsules and place the powder sublingually or place the chewable under the tongue to dissolve?
Natalie
The chewable is great for doing a trial but then I prefer the 500mg for ongoing use. The 500mg does not taste great so if you do need to continue to take it sublingually adding some inositol or taking it with mashed banana often works well
Hello Trudy,
I enjoyed your talk with Sean on the Depression Sessions. One of your recommendations is a good multivitamin. There are SO many vitamin options on the market that I don’t know where to begin. DO you have brand recommendations?
Many thanks,
Heather
Heather
Designs for Health Twice Daily Multi is a great one
Do you know if the Q&A will be available after the live broadcast? Sorry I will be missing it, at work!
I’ve been listening to the rebroadcast of Dr. Lynch’s Q&A, and feel more confused than ever, about what testing to do. What are thoughts on genetic testing vs the whole histamine test? Dr. Lynch seems to discount the over vs under methylation idea.
Susan
I believe the recording will be available – be sure to watch out for emails from Sean (and I’ll send one too once I have links and such)
I have not listened to Dr Lynch’s Q and A but we did talk about whole blood histamine in our interview on the Anxiety Summit. He acknowledges that it’s an area he doesn’t know much about. https://www.everywomanover29.com/blog/anxiety-summit-methylfolate-anxiety/
Trudy, your talk on the Depression Sessions was fabulous! I immediately printed out your questionnaires and started using them with my counseling clients (and a few friends). You’ve got my vote for encore day! I’m wondering about people who have low motivation, apathy, procrastination, etc., without the depressed or anxious mood. Would the 5 minute sublingual test work with Tyrosine? Is there a best time of day or way (with/without food) to take Tyrosine?
Thanks for all you do and for giving me another great resource for my clients!
Julie
Good stuff and you’re weclome! Some people just don’t consider themselves “depressed” but scores of low motivation and apathy and procrastination would warrant a trial of tyrosine. The starting dose is 500mg and all aminos are taken away from protein. Tyrosine early morning, mid-morning and mid-afternoon if sleep is not an issue (if it is I sometimes skip the mid-afternoon one)
