The hidden key to mood disorders? It’s in your gut! - Gary Brecka

Gary Brecka, a human biologist, unveils a game-changing perspective on mood disorders that Big Pharma doesn’t want you to know about. Forget the serotonin myth for a moment—your mood isn’t just a brain issue; it’s a gut issue.

The truth: 90% of serotonin is made in your gut, not your brain. If your gut’s serotonin factory is offline, no amount of willpower can fix your mood.

So, what’s the culprit? A process called methylation, which transforms tryptophan into serotonin, is often disrupted by nutrient deficiencies. A lack of basic vitamins can derail this cycle, leaving you struggling with low mood, anxiety, or worse.

Brecka isn’t saying all mood disorders stem from this, but the evidence is staggering—and the fix might be simpler than you think.

In his clinic, Brecka and his team analyzed blood work from 1600 patients, testing CBC, CMP, lipid panels, hormone panels, and nutrient deficiencies. They also ran a methylation test targeting five key genes.

The results? Mind-blowing. By addressing genetic deficiencies with targeted supplementation—like B-complex vitamins and trimethylglycine—they saw:
- Kidney filtration rates improve

- Waste elimination normalize (better regularity)

- C-reactive protein (inflammation marker) plummet

- Homocysteine levels drop, easing high blood pressure and headaches

Patients reported life-changing results: better mood, fewer headaches, and normalized blood pressure—all from fixing nutrient deficiencies that disrupt methylation.

This isn’t just theory—it’s data-driven. Brecka’s approach shows that supplementation tailored to your genetics can unlock your body’s potential. Why mask symptoms with meds when you can address the root cause?
