What if the brain isn’t broken—but under-supplied? This episode continues the conversation with David Stephan, VP of Truehope, as we dive into the specifics of how vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and omegas provided in bioavailable, balanced forms, help the brain recover. In this conversation we talk about:

The difference between the function of drugs and micronutrients on the brain
How micronutrients actually help resolve bipolar symptoms, including serious symptoms like psychosis.
Why eating healthy is not enough to resolve bipolar symptoms and why micronutrient supplementation is necessary.
The role that genetics play in bipolar symptoms.
How micronutrients can help resolve the MTHFR gene mutation.
How the vast majority of mental illness diagnoses are actually micronutrient deficiencies.
How micronutrients help facilitate healing trauma and other sources of mental illness symptoms.

Come back next week as we dig into what to expect when shifting from medications to micronutrients and how to navigate symptoms with confidence.
