Episode 102- Is Your Anxiety a Nutrient Deficiency? The Choline Connection
Anxiety is often framed as a psychological condition—but what if part of the story is biological?
Emerging research in nutritional psychiatry is uncovering a consistent metabolic signature in individuals with anxiety: reduced levels of choline in the brain.
In this episode, we explore the science behind this discovery, including:
✔ An 8% reduction in brain choline linked to anxiety
✔ The role of choline in brain structure, signaling, and resilience
✔ Why chronic stress may be depleting key nutrients
✔ What this means for future clinical and nutritional strategies
As the line between mental health and metabolism continues to blur, this episode asks a critical question:
Are we overlooking a fundamental nutritional gap in how we approach anxiety?
