Ask any psychiatrist or doctor what causes mental illness and they will tell you the same thing – no one knows exactly. The most common explanation for mental disorders is a ''chemical imbalance'' in the brain, but this is an unproven theory. What is known and proven is that nutrients, such as zinc, vitamin B6 and B12, are the building blocks that a person needs to make the right amounts of important chemicals such as neurotransmitters and it makes sense that a lack of these nutrients could cause a person to not feel mentally healthy. Our guest this week is Anthony Stephan, co-founder of Truehope Nutritional Support Ltd., a non-profit company dedicated first and foremost to promoting mental wellness through non-invasive, nutritional means. The company has developed and currently produces a specialized micronutrient designed to address the unique nutritional deficiencies associated with mental illnesses.
