This was an amazing article, because it actually explained why I need to eat right, take my vitamins, and exercise. I thought that those admonitions were just something mothers and doctors said to make you feel guilty… I’m currently on anti-depressants and I’m needing more, but with “more” my restless legs syndrome increases. So I was looking for ways to increase my serotonin level naturally, and I found this article. Thank-you so much for writing this article. It totally makes sense to me, and it also explains why I crave ice cream before bedtime.

I was on 5HTP and L-tyrosine to raise serotonin and norepinephrine levels. It worked great. But now I’ve been under a lot of stress again and I’m not sure if my levels are lower than they were. I’m also wondering how these are tested for and if they are accurate. I was given a urine test which showed low levels which increased after the 5HTP regimen. Was this accurate? I don’t know, but I feel much better now than I did a year ago. What is 5HTP’s role in serotonin? Is it a building block?
Great article by the way. It made sense and was easy to understand.

This is by far one the most thorough articles I’ve ever read on serotonin, and the food/mood connection. Fantastic job!

I struggled sometimes explaining the connection to clients, but this has just made my job so much easier!
