Pyroluria & Your Brain: The Nutrient Deficiency You Must Fix!

Struggling with anxiety, mood swings, brain fog, or poor stress tolerance? These symptoms may be linked to Pyroluria (Pyrrole Disorder)—a hidden condition that depletes your body of zinc and vitamin B6, key nutrients for brain function and emotional balance.

What is Pyroluria?
Pyroluria is a metabolic disorder where excess pyrroles, a byproduct of hemoglobin synthesis, bind to zinc and B6, leading to deficiencies that affect mood, cognition, and stress resilience.

In This Video, You'll Learn:
✅ What Pyroluria is and how it impacts mental health
✅ Key symptoms and why they often go undiagnosed
✅ Best testing methods (Kryptopyrrole urine test)
✅ Top supplements for Pyroluria (Zinc, B6, Omega-6)
✅ The Omega-3 Myth – Why some should avoid fish oils
✅ The link between inflammation, oxidative stress & Pyroluria
