Episode Synopsis

Hello everyone and welcome to TODAY’s episode! Today I discuss how the food you eat has an effect on your mood... I dive a little deep into the effects of serotonin and how it's impacted by what we feed our bodies. I mention what foods can increase and regulate this neurotransmitter to feel better emotionally. Make sure you listen to the end for this week's challenge and affirmation to get the most out of this episode. I hope you enjoy (or enjoyed) and I’ll talk to you next Sunday!-Astrid Zagazeta ✰Sources used:Serotonin: What is it, Function & Levelshttps://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/22572-serotonin#:~:text=Serotonin%20is%20a%20chemical%20that,blood%20clotting%20and%20sexual%20desire.Nutritional psychiatry: Your brain on foodhttps://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/nutritional-psychiatry-your-brain-on-food-201511168626Our second brain: more than a gut feelinghttps://neuroscience.ubc.ca/our-second-brain-more-than-a-gut-feeling/
