"If you can change the way your body feels, then that will automatically change the thoughts that are going on in the whole cascade that takes place from that point.” – Dr. Jason Loken

Are you or those you help seemingly doing all "right things" but still feeling stuck? That competitive drive, those controlling tendencies, or that persistent anxiety might actually be rooted in our biochemistry.

In this episode, Dr. Aimie sits down with Dr. Jason Loken to explore how hidden biochemical imbalances can create patterns of depression, anxiety, and behavioral challenges that talk therapy alone cannot resolve. Dr. Loken shares how under-methylation, a copper-zinc imbalance, and pyroluria can fundamentally affect your physical and mental well-being.

They’ll also discuss why certain traits run in families, how a copper-zinc imbalance can affect postpartum mental health, and why some children struggle with focus and emotional regulation. Dr. Loken breaks down the science behind these biochemical patterns, explains how these biochemical imbalances can be identified, and shares actionable steps for addressing the root cause of these imbalances.

They’ll talk more about:

[03:20] How under-methylation is connected to depression and anxiety
[06:07] The behavioral traits commonly associated with under-methylation (competitiveness, control issues, obsessive compulsive tendencies, etc.)
[10:54] How to properly test for methylation imbalances
[18:01] How a surge in copper levels during pregnancy can lead to postpartum mood disorders
[22:22] Why "managing stress better" is nearly impossible with certain imbalances
[24:37] How pyroluria strips the body of key nutrients that help create the feel good chemicals like serotonin and dopamine
[27:55] The connection between these biochemical imbalances and autoimmune conditions

Whether you're a practitioner looking for more comprehensive approaches to mental health, a parent concerned about your child's behavior, or someone personally struggling with persistent symptoms, this episode offers valuable insights into how balancing your biochemistry might be the key to finally feeling like yourself again.
