It’s done, I am finished. 4+yrs of studying a BHSc Naturopathy. What got me through? Lots of supps, lots of herbs, and some pretty incredible people I’ve made a long the way. What’s next? An online business initially, and potentially a post grad with a focus on nutragenomics or neuroscience. Thank you to everyone who encouraged and supported me over the years.

Two patients with almost identical biochemistry: high dopamine and adrenaline, similar diets, both experiencing chronic stress. Yet, their responses that pressure is the opposite. One appears to work better and the other is highly anxious, loses focus, and feels burned out.

What’s the hidden factor? It’s all about COMT, the enzyme that processes stress hormones like dopamine and adrenaline.

Fast COMT: Clears stress chemicals quickly leading to an increased capacity to cope but tend to burn through nutrients fast and lose motivation and focus quickly.

Slow COMT: Stress hormones can stay in the body longer leading to feelings of anxiety, irritability, and sleep issues.

This single genetic difference explains why two “identical” patients need completely different treatment plans. It’s a powerful reminder that personalised medicine isn’t just hype, it’s essential for getting real results. Understanding COMT speed as well as how to apply nutragenomics changes everything from supplement choices to dosage and timing of specific nutrients and even what herbs are best indicated.

This is also why we don’t immediately prescribe methyl B vitamins when you’re diagnosed with a MTHFR SNP.

Managing complex conditions requires an individualised approach. A 45-year-old male presented with schizophrenia, MDD, ADHD, severe anxiety, paranoia, obesity, high blood pressure, and debilitating insomnia. The patient’s severe adverse reaction to methylated B vitamins, which amplified his anxiety and worsened his insomnia, was a key clinical clue.

This reaction suggested a disruption in his methylation pathway, a process vital for neurotransmitter production. This pointed to likely genetic variations, particularly in the MTHFR or COMT genes. His psychiatric profile further supported a COMT polymorphism, which slows the breakdown of dopamine and noradrenaline, causing saturation in the prefrontal cortex. This buildup contributes to anxiety, paranoia, and an overactive stress response that disrupts sleep.

Without genetic testing, a targeted nutraceutical protocol was implemented with two supplements. N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) was used to modulate excitatory glutamate and reduce oxidative stress,
restoring brain chemistry and improving sleep. MediHerb N-Regenex, a broad-spectrum potent anti inflammatory herbal formula, supported the brain, nervous system, and the HPA axis, providing a calming effect without over-stimulation. Coupled with dietary interventions targeted to restore eubiosis and reduce inflammation while providing saturated nutritional repletion.

This focused intervention led to remarkable improvements. His anxiety and paranoia decreased, his mood stabilised, and his insomnia resolved. The case demonstrates that a detailed clinical history can guide successful, personalised treatment plans without costly interventions.

While talk and behavioural-based therapies are incredibly powerful tools for processing emotions and building coping strategies, what I see in clinic is that for many people, anxiety, depression, and other complex mental health challenges, and co-occurring with neurodivergence, have clear biological drivers. For them, engaging in talk or behavioural-based interventions feels impossible because the foundation of their mental state is physically compromised. With ADHD for example; you can’t condition yourself out of a neuro type or disordered dopamine and adrenaline.

Chronic inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, and genetic predispositions (SNPs) are the primary drivers I see in clinic.

Chronic inflammation, in particular, creates a hostile environment within the central nervous system, which directly disrupts neural communication and interferes with the brain’s ability to regulate mood and emotion effectively. The result can be a “brain fog,” impaired decision-making, and heightened emotional reactivity, making it feel impossible to simply think and process your way through it.

A lack of iron, essential for myelin production, the fatty sheath on our nerves, leads to chaotic neural signalling when levels are low, and subsequent fast, racing, looping thoughts or hyperactivity that cannot be regulated. Similarly, B vitamin deficiencies, or a genetic SNP that impairs your ability to process them, can disrupt the production of or lead to an overproduction of key neurotransmitters, often manifesting as changes in concentration and cognition++

It’s not just psychological; it’s beyond talk and behavioural-based interventions. It’s about building a solid collaborative care team to support the foundation for the brain to function optimally.

Persistent overthinking, often called rumination, is far more than a mental pest; it’s a significant trigger for chronic inflammation throughout the body. It starts with the sustained activation of the limbic system, particularly brain regions like the amygdala, which are deeply involved in emotion and threat processing.

When we ruminate, these persistent, repetitive thoughts about perceived threats or unresolved little “ts” signal to the brain that danger is ongoing, keeping the body in a state of high alert. This sustained neural signaling, driven by the inability to “switch off”, activates the body’s stress response system. This leads to the continuous release of stress hormones like cortisol. Over time, this chronic stress response also potentiates low-grade, systemic inflammation.

And sadly excessive thinking isn’t the only driver. While rumination fuels inflammation, inflammation can also exacerbate cyclic negative thought patterns. Neuroinflammation, inflammation within the brain, can disrupt delicate brain circuits involved in mood regulation, cognitive control, and emotional processing. This disruption can potentially increase an your susceptibility to rumination and other mental health challenges, such as anxiety and depression.

This is where strategies aimed at managing systemic inflammation can offer powerful complimentary care to more traditional mood supporting therapies.

We’ve become adept at intellectual and experiential hoarding, accumulating vast amounts of data, ideas, and sensations without genuine transformation. This is fueled by the addictive loop of low effort and high reward providing instant gratification that mimics real achievement and we readily embrace this passive intake.

Constant exposure leads to dopamine desensitisation, making less immediate, yet more fulfilling, activities seem dull. This erodes our capacity for delayed gratification; why strive for long-term growth when a quick scroll offers an immediate, albeit superficial, win?

The journey from consumption to meaningful application leads up trapped in a cycle of passive fulfilment rather than active personal evolution. This is especially critical when considering physiological adaptation, habit formation, lifestyle change, and the management of chronic conditions and complexities.

It takes time to adapt, move, and transition to a felt space of wellness. Demanding commitment to the process itself rather than the expectation of instant resolution. True lasting change isn’t about what we consume, but how actively apply and embody over time.

You can eat the cleanest organic diet, exercise daily, and stack all the right supplements and biohacks, but if you’re still carrying immense stress from circumstances you can’t change, or feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities that weigh you down, your body will keep at you with symptoms until you change something.

Stress is a drain, it often quietly sabotages the very support you’re trying to give your body through supplements.

Chronic stress shifts your body into a constant state of alert. This “fight or flight” mode prioritises immediate survival, often at the expense of long-term repair, digestion, and nutrient absorption. Your body might be eating through essential vitamins and minerals at an accelerated rate just to fuel that high-demand state. Think of magnesium, crucial for calming; B vitamins, vital for energy and nerve function; and even Vitamin C, heavily used by your adrenal glands. When stress is relentless, you have dramatic increased nutritional demands, potentially outpacing what your diet and even diet what your prac prescribed supplements can provide.

It’s not that your supplements aren’t good; it’s that stress is creating a physiological leak, demanding more than your routine can replenish, or even hindering the absorption of what you’re taking.

Health isn’t just about what you do, it’s about how you adapt, what you accept, and where you find resilience, and how you acknowledge the profound impact stress has on your every day.
