The Science of Cognition: Assessing Brain Health Through Organic Acid Metabolomics
In this advanced presentation, we will explore the intersection of metabolomics, hormone dynamics, and genetics in understanding cognitive health. Our focus will be on critical organic acids such as Homovanillic Acid (HVA), Vanillylmandelic Acid (VMA), kynurenate, and quinolate, which are key indicators of neurotransmitter activity and brain function.
We will discuss how these metabolites interact with crucial hormones like estrogen and cortisol, and how their modulation can influence cognitive functions and susceptibility to mental health conditions. This talk will also extend into the genetic predispositions that affect these metabolic pathways, providing a holistic view of individual biochemical variations and their impact on brain health.
Further, we'll examine additional metabolites including xanthurenate, pyroglutamate, indican, and 8-Hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8OHdG). These compounds provide insights into nutrient balances, gut health, and oxidative stress levels, factors essential for maintaining optimal cognitive performance.
As we delve into how the DUTCH Test can be used to integrate metabolite and hormonal analysis with genetic data, attendees will gain cutting-edge knowledge on assessing and managing cognitive health through a comprehensive biochemical and genetic approach. This session is designed to empower clinicians with the latest tools and research to better understand and treat cognitive disorders in their practices.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, more people were more able to handle the stress in their lives. Now, about five years later, people are getting sick easier, irritated faster, and are unable to sleep properly. In this episode of the DUTCH Podcast, Dr. Carrie Jones joins Dr. Jaclyn Smeaton to discuss how stress resilience and cortisol impact hormone health, cognitive health, and mental health.

    Hi, came across your UA-cam channel while tryingvto research cortisol normal levels. I have all the symptoms of Adissons but my uk doctor doesn't think anything of my recent cortisol blood tests. 9am - 128 nmo/L and another a week later of 250 nmo/L Could you please adise if these are low and require further investigation? I would be so grateful. Thank you.

    I measured my cortisol twice with a clinic but both times they gave me no guidance and the tests in uk not cheap.in the end I took it on myself to start self medicating with HC and even 1.25mg on rising makes a big difference to my energy output.in the morning my cortisol was almost flatline and wasn't much better at lunch time either.its incredible that such a small dose can make such a difference and on my days off i have energy now most of the day.I still suffer from some insomnia though.

    This presentation was amazing you covered every topic that I had questions with previously. I’m on the autism spectrum and can confirm that I’m more alert in the mornings and my stemming and procrastination has reduced significantly since taking melatonin. Sleep is still a work in progress but my initial experience is going perfect so far. Week two of melatonin supplementation and so far so good.

    Melatonin is also an antioxident in the mitochondria (discovered in 2018). Sunlight and Near infa-red light directed on the mitochondria promotes melatonin during the day! Not related to this discussion. It only stays in the mitochondria and it's neighbor cells. So maybe the pattern is kids play outside and get their melatonin. The average seniors stays inside all day so they don't get healthy amounts of NIR.

    I need to do some tests as I have health problems for 7 months or so. It was a big st ress initially, although I am constantly in stress state, and take anxiolityca. I am wondering what is happening with my cortisol and adrenals, as, my healthcare provider nothing can do more after giivng me one treatment with penicillin antibiotics, which are not helping me .I am with slow energy. I am 65 years.

    This video really needs updating. Show an example of how someone should be doing the testing and when, using examples with actual people and items like a cup of coffee or getting out of bed. This video relies too heavily on charts and someone reading the directions. I've read the directions, so this isn't helpful. Irregular periods are WAY more extreme than the examples given! +/- 5 to 7 days would be a dream for most women. The women using this kit likely only get a period every 3-18 months so the instructions are useless for the majority 🤦‍♀️. It fully assumes the women are ovulating at all. What are menopausal or post-menopausal women supposed to do? In addition, over half of women have several hormone cycles and eggs maturing at different rates overlapping with each other and that also affects hormone levels, especially in cases of severe PCOS. A woman needs to do a video on how women should take the DUTCH tests.

    If your doctors send a prescription to a pharmacy in my country will the pharmacy acknowledge that prescription, or refuse to dispense because it's coming from overseas? Will the medication be available in my country? When you are sending the test worldwide you need to provide this info. And you're not. So I can't buy it since I don't know if it will work in my country.

Estrogen dominance is definitely at the core us women need more education on these conditions to take control of our bodies . we are in a sea of toxic chemicals and eating the sad diet .
