In this Episode which became Part 2 in our 'Adjusting Hormones and Neurochemicals to Feel Happy' Series, we discuss Serotonin: Is it really the key to happiness and relaxation, or a stress chemical which can make you feel suicidal or narcissistic?We explore the options, reflecting on Ray Peat's research into the area of which chemicals keep us young and happy and which ones make us stressed and age prematurely, as well as the potential implications to a spiritual or religious practice.We end with a review of everything we've covered so far, and how it ties into the Polyvagal theory, as we explore which hormones and chemicals may be responsible for creating the Ventral Vagal, Sympathetic, and Dorsal Vagal Modes of the Central Nervous System, how we can end up feeling bad most of the time, and the best path back to feeling good most of the time.References from this episode:RP - Feel Good 1RP - MetabolismRP - DigestionRP - Stress & AnxietyRP - ThyroidThe High Serotonin Personalityhttps://men-elite.com/2019/01/17/the-high-serotonin-personality/Serotonin inhibition of the NMDA receptor/nitric oxide/cyclic GMP pathway in human neocortex slices: involvement of 5-HT2C and 5-HT1A receptorshttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1572268/Serotonin-prefrontal cortical circuitry in anxiety and depression phenotypes: pivotal role of pre- and post-synaptic 5-HT1A receptor expressionhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4047678/Serotonin and decision making processeshttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0149763411001114Serotonin The Fraudulent Antidepressanthttps://men-elite.com/2020/04/24/serotonin-the-fraudulent-anti-depressant/Investigating the Molecular Basis of Major Depressive Disorder Etiologyhttps://nyaspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1196/annals.1410.018Serotonergic Systems, Anxiety, and Affective Disorderhttps://nyaspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1196/annals.1410.004Metabolic, Molecular, and Behavioral Effects of Western Diet in Serotonin Transporter-Deficient Mice: Rescue by Heterozygosity?https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32132889/Serotonin and Sleep: Molecular, Functional, and Clinical Aspectshttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2675905/Parasite Rexhttps://www.amazon.com/Parasite-Rex-Bizarre-Dangerous-Creatures/dp/074320011XSadh Guru - Inner Engineering
