Serotonin Boosting

Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical in the brain. It sustains feelings of well-being, peace and
calm. Serotonin regulates sleep and body temperature as well. Specific stresses, aging and
specific triggers lead to a decrease in Serotonin levels. Both Anxiety and Depersonalization
symptoms are heightened due to plummeting Serotonin levels.
Even minor declines in Serotonin will often set off reactions.
You have the power to naturally boost your serotonin levels by using specific living skills and
foods you already have in your kitchen. Changes in Serotonin Levels can transform
a bleak existence into an enjoyable and pleasure producing life once again.
