One Proven & Simple Supplement for Depression
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 07. 2024
- In this episode, I share one proven and simple supplement for depression. Depression rates continue to climb, with one out of ten adults and one out of five children experiencing the condition.
To counteract depression, research reiterates the value of taking probiotics-a supplement widely used for digestive disorders. Having a healthy gut can help balance mood.
Listen in to discover why probiotics and other simple, non-supplemental interventions are worth adding to your mental health toolkit.
EDIT: Around 16:28, I mention spending 2 hours per day in nature. This should actually be 2 hours per WEEK, as per the study findings I discuss in the episode.

Does ginseng gx2500 help with depression
Depression is so much more then u know.. Its a constant struggle.. Like a wound will feel better, but then can get so bad feels like torture. Idk how else to explain.. I would ramble more, but I feel no one will ever understand those who don't have it calling it "fake" 😢 ToT
I definitely feel u. I've been there, still struggling.. It's like an endless challenge, that sneaky greyish, muddy feeling is always there even when u feel a little bit better some days. something drags u down constantly. Meds, therapy, activity didn't help me fix it for good. It is always one step forward two steps back. The saddest part is u watch your life getting wasted and feel guilty&anxious about this, too. The major thing i feel daily is life is beautiful, worth living, full of possibilities, good moments but im not allowed to experience it.I can smell but cant taste, i can see but can't touch.
I'm not even talking about those morons who claim it s fake, or that we re not trying hard enough to fight off, or those snapping at us that we don't have that serious problems in life to get depressed ,etc. .
All of the above is my personal experience and hope nobody has to go through this.
@@BurcuTekinalp-mr5wl O.O U get it! Hey um.. do u have fb? 😅 Wanna be friends?
Homeopathic medicine works beautifully in conjunct with healing the intestinal lining. I also use organotherapy( sarcodes)parts of the brain in the limbic system and it has been amazing. Sarcodes including dicephalon hippocampus amygdala and the frontal lobe. If you work on the gastrointestinal system and then add cell nutrition and sarcodes, there is the potential of such beautiful healing
💯.
Are you sure you are not a politician?
Your very quick and cleverly explanations makes me to literally jump on skyscraper’s level of depression.
Other than that, I’m so proud of your talent.
Super important information. I wish the big system would one let go so that millions of people would get real help.
Really enjoyed this segment. Thank you Dr.!
Appreciate the mic and sound system of these new vids
Thank you!
This is fabulous information! I'm highly sensitive to medications. But rely on supplements. But this info I did not know. I'm loving that you break it all down and show that not all supplements are created equal and challenge people to do the math!
I'm glad you mentioned psychedelics. Given the success most trials seem to be having with depression, PTSD...and the tight gut-brain relationship, I wonder if future therapies will include some form of psychedelic? From what I've read, psychedelics themselves can be tough on the gut, but I can't help but wonder if in the weeks/months following psychedelic-assisted therapy, if people see benefits in their gut due to some of the very things (amygdala, stress/immune response, etc.) you mention here.
That's a great point. I'm interested to see those effects as well. I'll definitely do an update on that when the time comes, because I think psychedelics have a lot of potential.
I appreciate this video greatly.
Thank you million times
Dr. Ruscio, thank you for this valuable information. Many people are skeptical and rather go for meds for depression. Whal about those who has the MTHFR, COMT polymorphisms? Any studies related to improvement of those pathways or gene expression with those probiotics? I love your book!
I am in the UK, but I loved this. Very useful
Happy to hear my content is making it across the pond! And thank you for your comment :)
Also cold showers help every time I take it I feel definitely better
Brilliant,thankyou
If you have ever gotten the " shocks " from D.Ts you know that its very important... The mind is so important
Great content,Thank-you!
I'm so glad you like it!
Super helpful info!
Thanks 🎉
Green tea I believe helps also.
The walk in nature is just common sense.
You would think so! But many people don't get out as much as they maybe should.
Hi. I really appreciate and enjoyed the information. I tried to find your product on Amazon and could not. Would you please put a link to it the comments. Thank you!
Certainly! I don't sell my products on Amazon, just my book. But I do have an online store I'll link here: store.drruscio.com/collections/probiotics
Thanks for watching!
If only it were that simple.
The probiotics you recommend do not have the specific strain used in study. Do you have study evidence that the strains in the products you recommend have a similar effect on depression as the NCC3001 BL strain in the study? I have looked far and wide and do not see a product that contains the NCC3001 BL strain.
Is the supliment you recomended available in countries like Sri Lanka ?
Amazing channel. What time do you recommend to take probiotics? And should be taken on empty stomach or no need? Thx
Thank you. See if this guide helps answer some of your questions:

How can we know his a licenced professional doc if he dont have it written under the title like Mike or Sleep Doctor?
Do you have information on the relation of hormones/gut dysbiosis? Re: perimenopause
I do! Here are a few articles you can check out that touch on that relationship:
drruscio.com/hormonal-imbalance-in-women/
drruscio.com/supplements-to-balance-hormones/
drruscio.com/how-to-balance-hormones/
Hope those offer a good starting point for you!
I HAVE Mental illness for years it's fucking Torture.😢
Do you have any financial connection with the brand you are recommending?
If I mention a specific brand, it might be my own. I created my own formulations to support the protocol I was seeing work in the clinic. If it's a different brand, then no. Sometimes I just recommend other good products. :)
Could there be background stories and reality issues that some people's mood can't be boosted ?
Sorry, I'm not totally sure what you mean here. I do believe that there's always something that can be done. For some people, it can, unfortunately, take a lot of time and trial and error, but that doesn't mean there's no hope.
I dont need any external supplement or meds to mke me happy i want natural recovery
Great content Dr Ruscio, but what about when people take these probiotics even soiled ones and start to have many symptoms like insomnia, heartbeat, abdominal swelling, nausea, etc. Does the person really not tolerate probiotics or do they have to do something else? I would like you to talk about this issue.
From what i understand, that could potentially be indicative of some underlying condition (moderate to severe reactions to probiotics). For me, only L Reuteri works well for me. Other families of probiotics thus far give me constipation
Like the other commenter mentioned, it may be a response to the particular strain. It could even be the brand of probiotics. I've had people tell me probiotics didn't work and it turned out it was because it was a pre and pro-biotic, or the probiotic had dairy in it. So sometimes it's as simple as changing the brand or formula.
@@DrRuscioDC Good point. I always buy my probiotics without pre-biotics. If I want some prebiotics, I prefer to add it myself when needed instead of having it in my probiotics. It seems that I need LOTS of probiotics, many strains, many types, etc. I am on a very LONG road that never seem to end. I think I have no choice but to buy the Elemental diet.
@@mariejimpowerful Exactly the right approach on being able to add prebiotics separately! I'm sorry the road seems to be never-ending for you though. Hopefully, the elemental diet can help. Let me know how it goes for you, should you try it. :)
How often and for how long is it necessary to supplement expensive probiotics?
From what I've seen in the research, three months is a good timeframe for seeing the most benefit. Also, probiotics don't need to be expensive. There are really affordable options at most stores, like target, walmart, etc.
@@DrRuscioDC Thanks. Have you had any experience with the Reuteri strain?
I forgot, what do you think of Butyric acid?
You can check out my article on that topic here: drruscio.com/what-is-butyrate/!
What if you have histamine intolerance?
I heard most prebiotics are killed in the stomach because of stomach acid and don’t make it to the gut , so why would yours work ? I’m looking for a brand that bypass the stomach acid
Good point. Some strains are more hardy than others and do make it through the stomach acid. I would like to know, is this guys probiotic shelf stable, or will most of them die during transit?
Also some brands use enteric coating on the capsules, this ensures they break down in the gut.
His are junk probably
Great info, thank you. I'm looking for probiotics for my dogs. I'll buy yours for my son and I, but am thinking I'll get the Amazon ones for my 6 four leggeds, to be more cost effective. This is for maintenance, not depression.
Your thoughts?
I think that's a great plan!
My family caused my depression. Constant emotional abuse.
I'm sorry to hear that
Dr Ruscio, you are the best. I wish you would be in my home town or even in Canada. I have to do everything myself. I went for some help, I had to pay, not offered by our health care system since they know nothing, and the alledged specialist I choose turned out to not really know all that there is to know about his speciality (outdated).. For instance, as for motility, in the past, I had better results with multi strains and multi species or probiotics... LOTS of it. But he did not agree and was not listening to me nor to what worked in the past. He even laughed at me... Anyway, It is still not over, lots of bloating still and constipation... but my brain feels better, that is a major plus. I am back with my LOTS of probiotics plus an immune supplement, something new, and it helps. But really... WHEN EATING IS HELL, it makes life extremely difficult and painful. I am at the point now where I will buy that Elemental diet, I see I have no choice. Unfortunately, I am not in the States so I can not buy your supplements, I wish! There are two new brands sold in Canada, maybe made here as well. I am exausted forso many years, got worst because I have to do everything myself (researh and all...) so, yes, MY GUT IS ALSO VERY TIRED! My whole body needs a break. At the moment, I have in my diet, rice baby cereal.. It is helping. My emotions are better now, I manage to talk to myself and put an end to stress. Thank you so much for your videos, I find you are the best. I watched lots of videos as to get information and knowledge. What I like also is that you are very much down to earth and honest. PS I like you hare as well!! Hi Hi!! Take care and thank you.
Thank you for your kind words - I'm so glad you've found my content helpful. PS - you can order my supplements to ship to Canada from store.drruscio.com/! If you're having any trouble checking out, please just reach out to our customer service team at info@drruscio.com and they'll help you.
Nutmeg stops fermentation in the intestines
16:28 did you mean 2 hours per week?
Good catch. Yes, this should be 2 hours per week. Just updated the description with that edit to clarify. Sorry about that!
Question: you said your probiotic costs $45-49 for one bottle that would last 2 months. But the info on-line says it has 60 capsules and one should take 1-2 capsules, twice per day. So that one bottle would last at best 1 month, or possibly only 15 days. That discrepancy undermines your credibility….. I’d love to hear an explanation that addresses this. Thanks.
Sure! So, it might have been in another video but I discuss how we previously believed that a higher CFU was needed for the most benefit, but that the research is starting to suggest that 5-10 billion CFU is more than adequate. So with my probiotics, one capsule a day is plenty. :) There may be an update to the packaging and site to come soon.
Drink Kefir, eat sourkrout
How can I avoid falling into depression if everything happening in the world depresses me, everything happening in my country depresses me, everything happening in my family depresses me? I've experienced severe traumas, I can't sleep, and I can't cope with the lies everywhere and the lies and distortions that will be in the future of humanity... And mainly, I can't cope with the amount of people in the world - in my opinion, that's the source of most problems 😭😭😥😥
You will find hope again when you start seeking God.
Seek the Lord. He said He will give you rest! I pray that you find Him🙏
This hopelessness is created by depression, it is not real. There is hope and good things out there but depression makes you think the reality is bad
@@catholicrakelleDepression has nothing to do with religion.
10:28 you just had to use the word "candid" didn't you?
Tried all this crap, doesn't work. Being an introvert and a sensitive person, absolutely nothing is going to change that.
@clo_beanery You dont know what you are talking about.
The book When things fall apart has helped me immensely when I struggeled from Depression
Is your probiotic dairy free?
It is :)
I have no medical support.
I'm sorry to hear that. You're welcome to work with us at the clinic, if you're able. drruscio.com/virtual-clinic/
"Science" is going to do that. You know that nerdy kid that sat in front in science class is now going save you from yourself. Or maybe not.
pro biotics just constipate
Brain need meat 🍖 .
cant watch no more of this. No good for people that are crippled withanxiety and cannot get ou8t, so a walk in the park etc. is a waste of time. Off to another site.
They must all think we're made of money! Cost me enough for about 25 items that have done nothing. And i take priobiotics tc.etc. done othing either. I donn't believe in half of these products.
Watch Dr Berg on depression. I find him really good. 😊
Ashwaganda helped me 😊
@@andycampbell8622 Thanks for your message andy, but i believe although ashwaganda might be good for others, i wouldn't touch it, msny people are complaining about serious side effects, and my being a medical researcher, these are the type of products i definitely don't touch, its bad enough with NHS lethal drugs with their serious side effects lol.
Eat kefir, far cheaper than probiotic pills
Dr Berg also believes in Xenu and the Purification Rundown. He would never admit it on CZcams but he is a Scientologist and takes a ton of supplements he would never mention on his channel. Highly recommend the article about the Purification_Rundown on Wikipedia.
