Supplement serotonin

Supplement serotonin

Replenishing serotonin without using medication is entirely possible. However, you cannot eat serotonin, but you can ingest the building blocks of serotonin. Furthermore, there are also activities and mindsets that can increase serotonin.

Increase serotonin naturally

1. Increase serotonin by engaging in activities that are calming for you. This could be meditation, prayer, or yoga. Some people feel better listening to trance or other genres of music, as long as it has a calming effect.
2. Exercising has a serotonin-increasing effect.
3. Drink as little alcohol as possible. Remember that half a glass of red wine per day is the maximum a person can drink without causing too much damage.
4. Make yourself as big as possible by striking power poses (like bodybuilders do) for 2 minutes. This increases not only serotonin but also testosterone.
5. Think positively and say positive words to yourself and others. Think of nice things and try to share those nice thoughts.
6. A healthy dose of sunlight for more vitamin D3, serotonin, and dopamine
7. Avoid empty calories, especially sugars, and replace them with slow carbohydrates from vegetables, for example.
8. Avoid Omega 6 fats (vegetable oils) and increase Omega 3 intake (this helps against lifestyle diseases).
9. Increase your turmeric intake in combination with black pepper. This duo alone increases 3 happy hormones and prevents certain types of cancer.
10. Take a good multivitamin. For example, vitamins B3, B6, and B12 also help raise your serotonin levels.
11. The following probiotics also increase your serotonin:
    Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei and Bifidobacterium bifidum
12. Tryptophan supplement that you do not take with other proteins (may be taken on an empty stomach).

As you can read, your thoughts and gut flora have a significant influence on your mood. Most notably, the bacteria in your gut influence your mood and behavior by producing or not producing signaling molecules that make you happy or unhappy. So, take good care of your gut and, first and foremost, ensure you have the right bacteria by taking a probiotic containing one or more of the following strains: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei and Bifidobacterium bifidum. Next, you provide those bacteria and yourself with the right nutrition and dietary fiber from primarily vegetables, legumes, moderate amounts of fruit, and a little whole-grain products such as oatmeal.

Other products that also help to increase your serotonin are tryptophan-rich foods. Tryptophan is the precursor of 5-HTP and serotonin. Foods rich in tryptophan include: sourdough bread (whole wheat), oatmeal, nuts, seeds, spirulina, cocoa (pure), sesame seeds, chickpeas, spinach, sunflower seeds, parsley, asparagus, mushrooms, and broccoli.
beans, nuts, seeds, soybeans, Parmesan cheese and turkey

In addition to these foods, there are also natural MAO inhibitors that ensure that serotonin, among other things, is broken down less rapidly. These come with a warning. Complications can arise with an excess of MAO inhibitors and/or in combination with psychoactive medications. Normal foods such as aged cheese, beer, wine, pickled herring, chicken liver, yeast, excessive coffee, citrus fruits, figs, broad beans, chocolate, or cream can cause headaches and nausea and even become toxic. Here are some mild natural MAO inhibitors: seaweed, turmeric, passion flower and rhodiola.

Warning: Never experiment with stronger MAO inhibitors on your own, but always seek the expertise of a specialist first, especially if you are already taking psychoactive medication.

You want to live healthier and be happier, but you are not succeeding.

You put a lot of effort into living a healthy life and being happier, but you are not succeeding. If you fall back into old patterns, you remain in a negative spiral. Low serotonin levels lead to depression, poor eating habits, and anxiety. This results in even lower serotonin levels. We offer services involving behavioral and nutritional advice, as well as trip therapy, which allows you to break this negative spiral through temporarily high serotonin levels and introspection. As a result, your self-worth and self-love can rise, enabling you to take better care of yourself and those around you. Curious?
