Is Bone Broth Right for You? Understanding Glutamate, GABA, and Brain Balance

Bone broth is a nutritional powerhouse, and I just included it in my recent “12 Days of Hormone Harmony” tips. But did you know it might not be ideal for everyone? In this video, I break down the science behind glutamate and GABA—two key neurotransmitters that affect your brain’s balance between feeling calm and feeling wired.

If you’ve ever felt restless, anxious, or overstimulated after drinking bone broth, it might be due to a glutamate-GABA imbalance. I’ll explain how bone broth could contribute to this, why it’s particularly relevant for those with Down syndrome or sensory sensitivities, and what you can do to support your brain’s balance naturally.

✨ Here’s what you’ll learn in this video:

• What glutamate and GABA do in the brain

• Why bone broth might not work for some people

• Symptoms of excess glutamate or insufficient GABA

• Unique considerations for individuals with Down syndrome

• Natural tips to balance glutamate and GABA
