Brendan Reesor

Brendan is the author of Beyond The Pale, Anemia: The Visible Yet Unseen Cause of Mental Illness & Gender Dysphoria. After seeing improvements to his own mental health and outlook on life, Brendan began to see a pattern around anemic pallor, plant-based diets, mental illness, woke ideology, and gender dysphoria. His work connects physical health, nutrition, and physiology to mental health, psychology, spirituality, emotions, philosophy and more. Brendan addresses the most important yet overlooked factor in mental illness: oxygen. There is simply nothing more important for the brain than oxygen, and it’s not easy to get enough of it delivered to the brain, especially when anemic. Brendan focuses on blood and oxygen to better understand diverse phenomena, including depression, anxiety, hallucinations, dissociation, nightmares, irrational thinking, blushing, mass hysterias, and more.

Key Quote

“It doesn’t matter how much of your RDA is on the package. It doesn’t matter if the spinach says that you’re getting so much iron. It’s just on paper. In reality, you’re not getting any of it.”

— Brendan Reesor

Brendan’s Top Tips

1. Learn to recognise and understand your symptoms — pallor, bruising, restless legs, hair and skin changes are all signals, not things to just shrug off.
2. Eat more red meat, and avoid vegetables high in antinutrients (oxalates, tannins, soy protein, phytates) that block iron absorption.
3. Don’t give up on yourself — improving your health is worth it, even if you never become “the perfect specimen.”
