If you have light features such as blonde hair or fair skin and suffer from depression and anxiety, then I encourage you to investigate whether pyrrole disorder is the cause. Pyrroles often go unnoticed by conventional doctors because they don’t play an active role in the human body until they begin sapping you of important vitamins and minerals.
Pyrrole disorder often leads to brain fog, anger and rage, memory issues, depression, and high anxiety.

It is often a heritable condition in the Irish, English, Welsh, and Scandinavian people groups (especially those with light features: blonde or red hair, blue or green eyes, fair skin). Pyrroles have little or no function in the body and are excreted continuously in the urine. However, for a pyroluria individual, nutrient deficiencies occur because these molecules have an affinity for zinc and vitamin B6. They latch onto and excrete these nutrients in the urine before the body is able to absorb them.
Another feature of pyroluria is a deficiency of arachidonic acid (AA) (a polyunsaturated omega-6 essential fatty acid), which is a critical component of brain function as well as normal growth and development. Maintaining a balanced ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids is essential for overall health, as an imbalance can lead to excessive inflammation and health issues. It is important to address such deficiencies to support optimal brain function and well-being.
Individuals with Pyrrole Disorder often experience severe deficiencies in zinc and vitamin B6, which are essential for a healthy immune system, neurotransmitter balance, and cognitive functions like mood and memory. Low levels of these vital nutrients can lead to a range of symptoms, including depression, anxiety, and cognitive impairment. Addressing these deficiencies is crucial for restoring mental health and overall well-being. Suboptimal levels of these important nutrients result in a variety of symptoms, including:

Individuals of European descent, particularly those with fair features like blue or green eyes, blonde hair, and fair skin, are often more susceptible to this condition. However, it’s important to note that these physical characteristics do not guarantee the development of the disorder. Genetics, environmental factors, and overall health play significant roles in its manifestation. Understanding these nuances can help in identifying and addressing the condition effectively.
Hereditary conditions can cause severe mood swings, high sensitivity, hyperactivity, and an inability to tolerate stress, impacting both adults and children (especially during the terrible twos!). Common symptoms include morning nausea and a tendency to stay up late. These issues may be linked to unaddressed biochemical imbalances and nutrient deficiencies.
Chronic stress or trauma can exacerbate these symptoms, making proper testing crucial for identifying and addressing underlying deficiencies. Explore effective supplements to support your health and restore balance to your body.
At its core, pyrrole disorder is an issue because it pulls important nutrients out of the body before they’re able to be absorbed. Pyrroles themselves are harmless, but when elevated, they latch onto zinc and vitamin B6, therefore depleting the body of these important nutrients.
This condition can be safely corrected and balanced with dietary and nutrient therapy, as well as lifestyle modifications.
These recommendations address common deficiencies, but your wellness plan will be uniquely tailored to your individual health history, goals, and lifestyle.
