In this episode I discuss Pyrrole Disorder - a common biochemical imbalance in brain disorders caused by an excessive production of HPL (a hydroxyhemopyrrolin).   A hallmark of Pyrrole Disorder is poor stress intolerance.  Other common symptoms can be social avoidance and/or temper outbursts.  In this episode I'll answer:

  • What are pyrrols?
  • How does an overproduction contribute brain symptoms?
  • What are the symptoms and traits (brain related and physical that can be seen) in adults and children?
  • How can we become "pyrroluric"?
  • How can I test my pyrrole level?
  • How is Pyrrole Disorder treated?

From the Walsh Research Institute of over 30,000 patients with brain disorders:

ADHD - 18 %  (18% of individuals diagnosed with ADHD had elevated pyrroles)

Behavioral Disorders - 28 %

Autism - 35%

Depression - 24%

Bipolar Disorder - 35%

Schizophrenia  - 30%

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - 12%

Alzheimer's Disease - 14%

Healthy Controls (no psychiatric symptoms) - 8%
