Category: Inflammation

Inflammation is a common driver of both physical and emotional symptoms and is closely linked to the biotypes of pyroluria, copper overload, and toxic overload. Chronic inflammation promotes oxidative stress in the brain, increasing glutamate activity and NMDAR hyperexcitability, which may present as anxiety, obsessive thinking, or OCD-like patterns. Posts in this section explore how poor detoxification, high copper, low zinc, and depleted antioxidants contribute to cerebral oxidative stress and neurotransmitter imbalance. Gut inflammation from dysbiosis, processed foods, and infections also feeds this cycle, often worsening mood, cognition, and sleep. The focus is on reducing the inflammatory burden through targeted detox support, improved gut health, and nutrient repletion—especially zinc, vitamin B6, NAC, and antioxidants that regulate glutamate and oxidative stress. The goal is to calm the nervous system, restore biochemical balance, and support detox pathways that break the cycle of inflammation and neurochemical overstimulation.
