The pathogens in your gut may be causing your mental health symptoms like insomnia, anxiety, depression OR your mental health may be causing your gut overgrowth issues. Both are intrinsically linked through your gut brain axis. Gut and Brain talk to each other 24/7. The way we feel may be trying to tell us something is not right in our body!

If you haven't been able to tolerate SSRis like escitalopram or tricyclic antidepressants or mood stabilizers or have found them ineffective ask your doctor for a specialist referral to psychiatry and ask about MAOi inhibitor manerix. I worked on Psychiatry for 5 years so there are lots of options to talk to a specialist consultant about of you are suffering.

MAOis were the first type of antidepressant invented. However, providers don’t often prescribe them for depression today in Ireland due to dietary restrictions, side effects and safety concerns. But who needs to ever eat aged cheeses or salami meats again?! (high in tyramine). I could happily never eat those things again. So doctors typically only prescribe them if all other classes of antidepressants haven’t improved depression symptoms.

Other off-label uses: Sleep, Anxiety, Overthinking everything, Attention deficit disorder ADHD

MAOIs work by increasing the levels of certain neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) in your brain to boost your mood and improve other depression symptoms. They block the monoamine oxidase enzyme. This enzyme breaks down different types of neurotransmitters in your brain, including: Serotonin. Norepinephrine. Dopamine. Tyramine. By blocking the enzyme and the breakdown of these neurotransmitters, the MAOI increases the levels of these neurotransmitters in your brain. Serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine all play important roles in regulating your mood, sleep-wake cycle and memory. Serotonin also affects your appetite, social behavior and sexual desire. Norepinephrine and dopamine also increase alertness, arousal and attention.

MAOIs and SSRIs (like escitalopram) are classes of antidepressants, they work in different ways. I need 3 types but everyone is different. DM for appt to discuss options. Look at stories

👋 Im Fiona 46 Im married & have a boy 11 & a girl 9 & we live by the sea in Sligo🌊 IRELAND. I did a degree in Microbiology & MSc & Adv Functional neuro health in Canada. Doing mentorship with naturopath doc. I worked in Temple St Childrens Hospital & in industry & sales & marketing for 4 pharma companies in areas of bone health, mental health, gut & skin health for 15yrs

Ive had a stressful traumatic family life. I have been caring for my mum all my adult life, she was living with untreated clinical depression, and later undiagnosed dementia since her early 50s. My needs were never met as a child or young adult. Due to crippling digestive issues and anxiety that I could not get resolved medically I left corporate life on the road age 34, settled in sligo, had my kids. The stress of caring 4 mum & 2 toddlers brought on crippling insomnia, gut SIBO & mould toxicity & early perimenopause at 36 which by 38 i had fibromyalgia like illness. After years of elimination, fodmap diets, tests & supplements i healed my body through detox, nervous system regulation, optimising gut, adrenal, thyroid function, resolve my nutritional deficienies and now working methylation and MTHFR and CBS snips. My end goal being dementia prevention. 🙏I have a great brain.I learned so much I started my clinic in 2020 to support bewildered sick women and men who are dismissed by their doctor that their bloods and scopes show NORMAL and telling them it's all in their head.

I also suffered with bad acne from age 12. I have body dysmorphia from scarring & an addiction to skin. For 10 years i researched real cause of acne then i started skin treatments. I got rid of acne once i optimised my gut & liver.

My clients have IBS, digestive issues, anxiety, thyroid, depression, infertility, PCOS, PMDD, SIBO, endometriosis, acne, rosacea, ezcema, psorasis, brain fog, histamine, skin itch, perimenopause, sleep issues.

My work teaching how to heal is my life but swimming, weights, walks, reading health books, making smoothies & salads, house plants and my garden are2. I love a good festival & travelling the world. See 'about me' on website 4 my journey. ❤️Fiona. For your 1:1 appt www.gowithyourgut.ie
