Glutamate Overload: The Neurotransmitter Behind Panic & Overthinking

When the brain is starving—whether from poor nutrition, chronic stress, or trying to repair damage—
…it struggles to produce the right balance of neurotransmitters.

What happens?
👉 Too much glutamate, not enough GABA.

Glutamate is excitatory.
It’s important in small amounts—
…but when it builds up?
You get symptoms like:
💥 Racing thoughts
💥 Panic
💥 Overwhelm
💥 Rumination

I call glutamate the “freak-out neurotransmitter” for a reason.
And when the brain can’t convert it properly due to neuroinflammation, the system stays stuck.

Supporting the brain through metabolic therapies like keto can help rebalance that system—gently, from the inside out.
