What if a popular herbal supplement could hijack your emotions and leave you numb for years?
In this episode, I sit down with Lucas Aoun, a supplement expert and host of the Boost Your Biology podcast, to talk about a little-known side effect of ashwagandha: long-term emotional blunting and anhedonia. Lucas shares his personal experience and discusses why thousands of others might be suffering from the same effects without realizing it.
We explore how ashwagandha affects the serotonin system in a way that mimics SSRI antidepressants, why it’s showing up in reports of PSSD-like symptoms, and how certain tools—like cyproheptadine and inositol—might offer relief for some. We also get into the risks of other so-called “natural” supplements, why third-party testing is essential, and the red flags people often miss when self-experimenting.
