Georgi Dinkov discusses the potential risks and benefits of serotonin-based drugs in relation to mental health conditions. He suggests that, while these drugs may have some benefits, they also come with a risk of side effects.

00:00:00 Georgi Dinkov discusses the serotonin theory of schizophrenia, cypriot hepatitis, and the difficulties of running a supplement company during times of supply disruptions. He asserts that, while it is still possible to do business, it is becoming more difficult due to the lack of predictability in the industry.
00:05:00 Georgi Dinkov discusses the challenges of selling supplements that are labeled as cosmetics, and how he got into Ray Peat's work. He discusses his journey towards better health, and how low-carbohydrate diets and running helped him achieve it. He discusses the potential benefits of schizophrenia medications, and how Chinese medicine can help treat other conditions.
00:10:00 Georgi Dinkov discusses the effects of serotonin on the brain, schizophrenia, PTSD, and TCM. He also discusses how a low-carb diet can help to reduce cortisol levels and improve health overall.
00:15:00 Georgi Dinkov tells the story of how he first became interested in natural health remedies, and how he eventually came across information about aspirin and multiple sclerosis on the internet. After reading an article about aspirin and multiple sclerosis, Dinkov decided to experiment with the remedy himself, and found that it alleviated some of his symptoms. Dinkov continues to follow natural health remedies, and is currently researching the effects of serotonin on the brain.
00:20:00 Georgi Dinkov discusses how he became interested in biochemistry, how he learned the language, and how he eventually discovered Ray Peat's work. He notes that the state of medicine is currently very reductionist and that it is difficult for anyone to become an expert in the field. He recommends that people read published studies in order to gain a greater understanding of the field.
00:25:00 Georgi Dinkov discusses the negative effects of serotonin on the brain, including schizophrenia, PTSD, and TCM. He recommends a Ray Peat-style diet and meditation to improve overall health.
00:30:00 Georgi Dinkov discusses the potential effects of serotonin on the brain, and how Chinese medicine views stress as a root cause of many illnesses. He shares his experience with a Chinese herbal formula that helped him clear up his acne and reduce brain fog. He then discusses the current state of mainstream psychiatry, which views stress as only one factor in the development of depression. Dinkov believes that stress is the root cause of many illnesses, and that mainstream medicine is starting to change its perspective on the role of stress in sickness.
00:35:00 Georgi Dinkov discusses the theory that schizophrenia and other mental illnesses are caused by an overproduction of dopamine. He describes the side effects of dopamine-lowering drugs and how he managed to overcome schizophrenia by reversing the effects of the drugs.
00:40:00 Georgi Dinkov discusses the effects of serotonin on the brain, including the possibility that serotonin excess can lead to schizophrenia. He also discusses the use of cyproheptatine, a drug that blocks serotonin receptors, as a potential treatment for schizophrenia. He notes that, although the theory of modern schizophrenia is based on serotonin excess, current psychiatric treatment methods are based on false assumptions.
00:45:00 Georgi Dinkov discusses the potential link between serotonin and psychosis, along with his experience with antidepressant medications and tricyclic antidepressants. He concludes that, while serotonin may be a contributing factor to schizophrenia, it is not the only one.
00:50:00 Georgi Dinkov discusses the possibility that serotonin may be bad for the brain, schizophrenia, PTSD, and TCM. He argues that antidepressant drugs which antagonize serotonin may be undermining the theory of serotonin being good for the brain. If myonserine is approved as an antidepressant, this could lead to the collapse of the serotonin hypothesis.
00:55:00 Georgi Dinkov discusses the potential benefits and drawbacks of serotonin-based drugs, such as MDMA and LSD, in relation to mental health conditions such as schizophrenia and PTSD. He suggests that, in lower doses, these drugs primarily activate the dopamine system, which may lead to hallucinogenic effects. However, when used in larger doses, they also have a profound anti-stress effect. It is currently being studied whether MDMA can be used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder.

01:00:00 - 01:30:00

Georgi Dinkov argues that serotonin is bad for the brain and can lead to conditions such as schizophrenia, PTSD, and TCM-related illnesses. He suggests that reducing serotonin levels through diet and other means may improve neurological issues.

01:00:00 According to the video, cortisol has a tremendous initial depressing and eventually hyper excitability effect on the brain, to the point where people with PTSD are jumping out of chairs. MDMA is said to help PTSD through its ability to both agonize dopamine receptors and increase the synthesis of serotonin.
01:05:00 The interviewer discusses the role of serotonin in the brain, body and health. He points out that serotonin can have negative effects, such as contributing to cancer, if it's not properly processed. Chinese medicine considers serotonin to be part of an energy flow chain, and discusses how a break in this chain can lead to problems.
01:10:00 The video discusses the theory that serotonin levels are bad for the brain, and that when serotonin levels are low, the brain enters a state of "primitive" organization. It discusses how this relates to Chinese medicine and the concept of chi.
01:15:00 Georgi Dinkov discusses the theory that serotonin is bad for the brain, schizophrenia, PTSD, and TCM. He suggests that reducing serotonin levels through diet and other means may improve neurological issues.
01:20:00 Ray Peat discusses the benefits of consuming saturated fat, and the controversial idea that serotonin may be harmful for the brain. He argues that sugar is not the only culprit in causing insulin spikes, and that sugar's glycemic index and load ranks much better than most of the alternative health recommendations being promoted to people.
01:25:00 The video discusses the role of serotonin in various chronic diseases. It discusses how low levels of serotonin may lead to symptoms such as schizophrenia, PTSD, and TCM-related conditions. The video also discusses the importance of consuming complex carbohydrates, which will help to slow the rate at which serotonin is absorbed into the bloodstream and avoid an insulin spike.
01:30:00 Georgi Dinkov is a Bulgarian-born, Australian-based health researcher who believes that serotonin and endotoxin play a role in suppressing energy function in the brain, leading to symptoms such as schizophrenia, PTSD, and TCM-based illnesses. He provides a 7-day brain healing or brain reset plan that includes eating more digestible foods and using antiseptic supplements to reduce the amount of bacteria in the upper intestines.
