#492 The Anxiety Gene? How the GAD Gene Affects GABA, Stress & Mental Health
Monday, March 16, 2026 • Duration 22:42
Anxiety isn’t just psychological it can be biochemical.
In this episode of The Natural Health Podcast, Mihaela breaks down the GAD gene the critical gene responsible for converting glutamate (excitatory) into GABA (calming). When this pathway is disrupted, it can contribute to anxiety, overstimulation, poor emotional regulation, and stress sensitivity.
You’ll learn: • What the GAD gene actually does • How glutamate and GABA balance affects anxiety • What happens when the GAD enzyme is too fast or too slow • How genetic variations may predispose you to anxiety disorders • Why vitamin B6 is essential for GAD function • Natural ways to support GABA production • Lifestyle factors that may worsen or improve gene expression
If you’ve ever wondered why you feel wired, overwhelmed, or like your nervous system won’t switch off — this episode connects the dots between genetics, neurotransmitters, and holistic health.
🎧 Listen now to understand your brain at a deeper level.

Episode 491
Wednesday, March 11, 2026 • Duration 54:42
In this conversation, Dr. Dean Mitchell shares his journey from tennis to medicine, emphasizing the importance of understanding allergies and the immune system. He discusses his experiences during the AIDS epidemic, the role of mast cells in allergic reactions, and the impact of environmental factors like mold on health. The conversation also touches on the rising prevalence of allergies, the significance of the microbiome, and innovative desensitization techniques for managing allergies. Dr. Mitchell highlights the connection between mental health and immune function, advocating for a holistic approach to health.
Takeaways Dr. Mitchell has been playing tennis since he was a teenager. The immune system plays a crucial role in health and disease. Mast cells are key players in allergic reactions. Environmental factors can significantly impact health. Mold exposure can lead to various health issues. The rise in allergies may be linked to microbiome disruption. Stress can weaken the immune system and trigger allergies. Desensitization techniques can help manage severe allergies. A diverse microbiome is essential for good health.
