1 in 3 people have anxiety. It's the most common mental health disorder in the world. And many of us know what anxiety feels like: palms sweating before a job interview, losing your appetite before a looming deadline, a pit in your stomach when you get bad news. It's not just in your head, it's in your gut. Today, we'll learn how food could help us cope. Our guest explains the rising global trend toward increased anxiety: its rise through the pandemic, and explosion among young people.  Dr. Uma Naidoo is on the forefront of nutritional psychiatry. She directs the first hospital-based Nutritional Psychiatry Service in the US, at Massachusetts General Hospital and teaches at Harvard Medical School. Uma will help you understand the symptoms and biology of anxiety, painting a picture of the risks it poses for long-term health. And her diet tips will help you fuel your gut for a healthy mind.

To take the healthy steps required for change, we need motivation. And without the feel-good chemicals in our bodies, it makes it damn hard. I truly believe that happiness is central to growth and change in all areas, including finding and maintaining your balanced weight. I mean... if we don't feel good, we don't want to feel our bodies well, we don't have the motivation to exercise and we don't have the grit to take those steps that we SO WANT TO TAKE. Feeling sad, unmotivated and low unfortunatly can keep you stuck in your comfortable ways, and whilst it's SO normal and we all have our bad days, there are certainly ways they we can try to boost our bodies serotinin (feel good chemicals) to help us have more of the better ones. So, this episode is for you if you're looking to boost your happiness in order to make these healthy changes easier. If you're struggling at the moment, please know that you're not alone. I really hope this podcast helps you! I also recap on my walk with some members from the Health with Bec Tribe and the power that came from it!     Links mentioned: Foods mentioned that help boost serotonin (always pair with a source of healthy carbohydrates (eg lots of veggies, some fruit, rice, quinoa or legumes) Cheese Fish Turkey and chicken Beef Pork Tofu Oats Cheese Nuts and seeds Edamame Pumpkin and pumpkin seeds Eggs Supplements Pure tryptophan SAMe (S-adenosyl-L-methionine) 5-HTP Probiotics St John's Wort     Learn more from me / work with me: Download my FREE eBook with 4 15 minute meals: click here Start your weight loss, gut healing and anti-inflammatory journey now with my 3 Week Body  Reset  Continue your journey and figuring out YOUR own balance in the Health with Bec Tribe  Explore my recipe eBooks: Click here!  Follow me on instagram: @health_with_bec Visit my website: Click here    

You have probably noticed that my explanation of serotonin is not what you hear elsewhere. This episode explains why, and gives you the raw biology of your serotonin so you can find your power over it.The HAPPY BRAIN PODCAST helps you spark your happy brain chemicals in healthy ways. Your host is Loretta G. Breuning PhD, founder of the Inner Mammal Institute and author of "Habits of a Happy Brain: Retrain your brain to boost your serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin and endorphin levels.” Details at: https://innermammalinstitute.org. Check out our new video course, Train Your Inner Mammal to Feel Good Now.(https://innermammalinstitute.org/course — 10% off with the code ReaderDiscount at the checkout.) You will learn to rewire your happy chemicals with small simple steps!Our dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphin are inherited from earlier mammals. We control them with the limbic brain we've inherited from animals. The verbal human part of the brain doesn't understand what makes the animal part feel good, and that's why we do things to feel good that we later regret. When you understand the job that each happy chemical evolved to do, you can find healthy ways to spark them.Dr. Breuning's new book, Why You're Unhappy: Biology vs Politics, shows why unhappiness comes so easily to our brain. Why do they tell us that happiness is the natural state and unhappiness is a disorder? It's politics. The kind of politics that all mammals have.

Your brain chemicals are like paving on your neural pathways, which wires you to repeat behaviors that spark good feelings and avoid behaviors that spark bad feelings. That's why we keep repeating or avoiding things without quite knowing why. To change these patterns, you have to blaze a new trail through your jungle of neurons. It's hard because it takes so much repetition. The Inner Mammal Institute shows you how to design and build the new neural pathway that's right for you, and motivate yourself to do the repetitions. Rewiring your brain is like learning a foreign language: we all know it's possible, but most people don't. You can be someone who does! You can build new paths to your happy chemicals so you flow there more easily.The Inner Mammal Institute has the resources you need to do that. It offers free resources, including videos, blogs, infographics, and podcasts. Dr. Breuning's books explain the big picture and help you plot your course step by step. No matter where you are right now, you can enjoy more happy chemicals in healthy ways. Get the details at https://InnerMammalInstitute.org.The music on this podcast was composed by William Sharp.

Im vierten Podcast der Schmerzcode widmen sich Jan-Peer und Marco dem dritten Teil der Serie „Der Weg des Schmerzes“. Nachdem im vorherigen Teil die Projektionsbahnen des Rückenmarks und die Mechanismen der Schmerzhemmung behandelt wurden, liegt der Fokus jetzt auf dem dritten Neuron und der zentralen Verarbeitung von Schmerz. Die beiden sprechen darüber, wie die aufsteigenden Projektionsbahnen und die zentralen Verarbeitungsmechanismen in der Schmerzperzeption miteinander interagieren. Marco beginnt mit der Erklärung der grundlegenden Schmerzwahrnehmung und integriert dabei die Begriffe Divergenz und Konvergenz: Divergenz beschreibt, wie Schmerzsignale von einer Verletzungsstelle auf mehrere Nervenbahnen verteilt werden, was die Schmerzempfindung verstärkt, während Konvergenz anspricht, dass Signale aus unterschiedlichen Körperregionen zu einem einzigen Nervenstrang im Rückenmark zusammenlaufen, was die genaue Lokalisierung des Schmerzes erschwert. Jan-Peer ergänzt diese Überlegungen durch therapeutische Perspektiven, indem er die Vielfalt der Rezeptoren im peripheren Nervensystem thematisiert. Sie diskutieren die Herausforderungen, die sich aus dieser Diversität ergeben, und wie therapeutische Ansätze entwickelt werden könnten, um bestimmte Schmerzarten gezielt zu behandeln. Ein entscheidender Punkt dieser Episode ist die Unterscheidung zwischen der lateralen und der medialen Schmerzbahn. Marco erklärt, dass die laterale Schmerzbahn für die Lokalisierung und Intensität des Schmerzes verantwortlich ist, während die mediale Schmerzbahn eine emotionale und kognitive Dimension des Schmerzes ansteuert. Diese Differenzierung ist essenziell, um den komplexen Schmerzmechanismen gerecht zu werden, die sich aus verschiedenen neurologischen Aktivitäten im Gehirn ergeben. Darüber hinaus geht es um die absteigenden schmerzmodulierenden Mechanismen, die im periaqueductalen Grau ihren Ursprung haben und die Bedeutung von Neurotransmittern wie Noradrenalin, Serotonin und Endorphinen für die Schmerzhemmung. Die Moderation dieser Schmerzsignale wird als ein natürlicher Schutzmechanismus des Körpers dargestellt, der sogar vor der bewussten Wahrnehmung des Schmerzes aktiv wird. In einem abschließenden philosophischen Teil reflektieren Jan-Peer und Marco über die klinische Relevanz ihrer Erkenntnisse. Sie betonen die Notwendigkeit für eine integrative Betrachtung von Schmerz, die sowohl biologische als auch emotionale und soziale Aspekte umfasst. Der Podcast schließt mit dem Ausblick auf zukünftige Therapien, die auf einem tieferen Verständnis der Schmerzmechanismen basieren und wie diese möglicherweise eine nachhaltige Linderung bei chronischen Schmerzpatienten erzielen könnten. Abschließend steht die Frage im Raum, wie die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse in die Praxis umgesetzt werden können, um langfristige Heilungsprozesse und eine verbesserte Lebensqualität für Betroffene zu fördern. Jan-Peer und Marco laden die Zuhörer ein, neugierig zu bleiben und sich auch auf die nächste Episode zu freuen, die weitere spannende Themen rund um das komplexe Phänomen Schmerz behandeln wird.

Rose Cartwright is a screenwriter and the author of Pure, a hugely successful memoir which was then turned into a series for Channel Four. She is also a writer and producer on Netflix's 3 Body Problem. Pure portrayed Rose's autobiographical account of finding that she had OCD, a “mental illness”, and the breakthrough that this medical framework provided her. This was short-lived. In her new book The Maps We Carry, she writes about the dawning realization that the “illness” story she had believed in and publicly advocated for, was wretchedly incomplete and often dangerous. In this interview, Cartwright charts  her journey of painful and lonely disillusionment with the “mental illness” framework. She talks about understanding the place of her own childhood trauma and also the limitations of simplistic trauma narratives. She speaks about the place of psychedelics and meditation in helping her uncover her disconnection, eventually to realize the importance of trusting relationships and communities. In this brutally honest book and interview, Cartwright reflects on the importance of holding all our understandings around mental health and suffering, lightly. *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.

Relationships are challenging.In this episode, we explore some of the Autistic phenotypes challenges in relationships. We discuss symptoms from criteria A are external and criteria B are internal, and how criteria B complicates the symptoms in criteria A. In addition, Autism is a comparison to social-norms, and this is a problem. Some environments/relationships discuss include peer-to-peer, romantic, and parent-child. To begin, we explain the mechanisms behind the speaker-receiver and the use of conveying speech in socialness.Before we begin, we cover a brief explanation of Speaker-Receiver and human communication.

In this episode, we explore serotonin synthesis within enterochromaffin (EC) cells in the gut, detailing how tryptophan is converted into serotonin through enzymatic processes. We examine the role of gut microbiota-derived metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), in modulating the synthesis of serotonin including impacting tryptophan hydroxylase activity. We explore serotonin's interactions with receptors on enteric neurons and vagal afferent fibers, analyzing how these signaling pathways influence gut motility. Finally, we uncover conditions and symptoms associated with low serotonin production and the importance of the intestinal microbiome. Topics: 1. Introduction to Gut-Produced Serotonin - Serotonin production within the gut. - Serotonin's role beyond mood. - Synthesis, causes of low serotonin, related GI symptoms. 2. Gut Lining Structure and Cell Types - Layers of the gut lining, focusing on the mucosa. - Description of epithelial cells, including enterocytes, goblet cells, Paneth cells, and enteroendocrine cells. - Role of enterochromaffin (EC) cells in serotonin production. 3. Serotonin Synthesis in EC Cells - Location and function of EC cells. - How EC cells synthesize serotonin from tryptophan. 4. Biochemical Pathway of Serotonin Production - Step-by-step process: conversion of tryptophan to serotonin. - Enzymes involved, including TPH1 and AADC. - Importance of tryptophan availability in serotonin synthesis. 5. Storage and Release of Serotonin in EC Cells - Role of VMAT1 in serotonin storage within vesicles. - Controlled release. 6. Triggers for Serotonin Release - Physical triggers: mechanical stretch, pressure from food intake. - Chemical triggers: microbial metabolites, bile acids. - Receptors involved (GPCRs, TGR5) and signaling pathways. 7. Release of Serotonin into Intestinal Lining Layers - Serotonin exocytosis and interaction with nearby cells. - Release of serotonin on both luminal and basolateral sides of EC cells. - How luminal and basolateral release affects gut motility and barrier function. 8. Serotonin's Role in Gut Motility - Interaction with 5-HT3 and 5-HT4 receptors on enterocytes and enteric neurons. - Activation of the enteric nervous system (ENS) in the submucosal and myenteric plexuses. - Coordination with pacemaker cells for peristaltic movement. 9. Immune Function and Serotonin in the Gut - Effect on immune cells. 10. Gut-Brain Communication via Serotonin and the Vagus Nerve - Activation of vagal afferent fibers by serotonin. 11. Contributing Factors to Low Serotonin Production - Impact of dysbiosis and reduced SCFA production. - SIBO specifically. - Intestinal inflammation in general. - Imbalanced microbiota and inflammation can disrupt EC cell function. 12. Manifestations of Low Serotonin in the Gut - Effects on motility: constipation, dysmotility... - Common GI symptoms, including bloating, discomfort, and fullness. - Association with conditions like IBS. 13. Supporting Serotonin Production in the Gut - Painting a full picture and identifying root causes. - Strategies to foster a healthy gut microbiome. - Role of sunlight and tryptophan-rich foods in serotonin production. - Stool testing for microbiome imbalances.

How is the crisis of mental health affecting pastors and their families within the Christian church? What role do serotonin levels play in depression, and how can lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, help improve mental well-being without the side effects of medication? 

Nutrition, Gut Microbiome & Mental Health | Prof. Ted Dinan | 65 In this video, we discuss the gut-brain relationship, how our diet impacts our mental health, what a 'healthy' gut microbiome is, the role of prebiotics and probiotics on our gut and much more... Ted Dinan is a Professor of Psychiatry and Psychiatrist at University College Cork. Prof Dinan is one of the most highly cited researchers and a global expert on the relationship between the gut microbiome and mental health.

Here are the show notes for The James Altucher Show episode featuring Naveen Jain:A Note from James:“Oh my gosh. What a podcast with Naveen Jain. I first had Naveen on in 2014 or 2015, and he remembered it perfectly. That conversation was so fun, I still remember it like it was yesterday. It's crazy because I've done over 1,500 episodes, but that one stuck with me.Back then, we talked about Moon Express and his journey building rockets to the moon. Now, almost ten years later, Naveen has built several other companies, including Viome, which uses cutting-edge technology to analyze your microbiome and help people live longer healthier lives. Today, we're talking about his new book, The Youth Formula: Outsmart Your Genes and Unlock the Secrets to Longevity.At first, I'll admit, I was tired of hearing about longevity—everyone seems to be saying the same thing—but Naveen has such a unique take on it. We got into everything: from the role of microbes in our health to fecal transplants (yes, really) and how bacteria can influence personality traits. It was fascinating. We even talked about how changing your microbiome could literally alter your personality.There's so much in this episode that it's going to blow your mind. I hope it's not another ten years before we get Naveen back on the show. I'm definitely going to take him up on some of his suggestions, and maybe I'll have some results to share in a few months. Here's Naveen Jain.”Episode Description:In this episode, James Altucher is joined by serial entrepreneur Naveen Jain to explore the cutting-edge science of longevity, gut health, and human potential. Naveen, the founder of Viome and author of The Youth Formula, dives deep into how the microbiome shapes our health and even our personality. He explains why genes aren't destiny, how microbes may play a more important role in our health than DNA, and what steps we can take to live longer healthier lives. James and Naveen also discuss the surprising science behind fecal transplants, the future of personalized nutrition, and why finding purpose might be the ultimate key to longevity.What You'll Learn:How the microbiome plays a crucial role in your overall health—and might even affect your personality.Why DNA isn't as important as you think when it comes to disease and longevity.The latest research on fecal transplants and their impact on treating various diseases.How personalized nutrition can help you optimize your health based on your unique biology.The connection between purpose, community, and living a longer life.Timestamped Chapters:[01:30] Introduction: Reconnecting with Naveen Jain after 10 years[02:44] The Youth Formula and Viome: Outsmarting your genes[03:17] Microbiome's role in health: 99.999% of your body is microbes[04:02] Fecal transplants and personality: Can you inherit personality traits?[06:00] Personalized nutrition: Why “healthy” food isn't healthy for everyone[12:00] The power of purpose: Why having a reason to live is crucial for longevity[21:32] Changing the microbiome to treat disease: Fecal transplants and immunotherapy[29:24] How microbiomes affect mental health: Serotonin and gut-brain connections[39:51] The role of AI in personalized health recommendations at Viome[46:00] Stress and the sympathetic/parasympathetic modes: Modern stressors vs. ancient survival instincts[48:01] The role of exercise: Why 30-45 minutes of movement is enough[49:00] Sleep and health: The importance of quality over quantity[56:58] Entrepreneurial insights: Why a smooth life isn't what you want as an entrepreneur[58:07] Long-term vision: How Viome is focused on extending life by improving microbiome health[65:00] Wrap-up: James's thoughts on the future of health and Naveen's closing remarksAdditional Resources:The Youth Formula: Outsmart Your Genes and Unlock the Secret to LongevityViome: Learn more about personalized nutrition and microbiome analysis.Naveen Jain's Official Website ------------What do YOU think of the show?

DMEXCO Podcast goes #WhatsNextAgencies?: Ab jetzt hörst du hier alle zwei Wochen, abwechselnd zum bekannten DMEXCO Podcast, eine neue Folge #WhatsNextAgencies mit Kim Alexandra Notz. Auf der DMEXCO 2024 hat Kim 15 Episoden mit spannenden Persönlichkeiten aus der Agenturszene aufgezeichnet, die wir hier für euch co-hosten. Viel Spaß mit Kim auf der DMEXCO:„Wir verbullshiten uns, erschaffen Tagträume, die schnell zerplatzen. Strategie muss uns zurück zum Wesentlichen bringen – das ist in den letzten Jahren verloren gegangen.“In dieser Folge von #WhatsNextAgencies spricht Kim Alexandra Notz mit Kristina Bonitz, Gründerin der Strategieberatung Serotonin, über das dringend notwendige „Agency Makeover“. Sie erklärt, warum viele Agenturen mit ihrer eigenen Strategie auf der Stelle treten - und wie sie den Mut finden, sich endlich wieder zu fokussieren.Kristina erzählt von ihrem eigenen Weg, der sie von SinnerSchrader über Accenture Song zur Strategieberatung Diffferent führte, bevor sie sich entschloss, Serotonin zu gründen. Dabei erkannte sie: Viele Agenturen verfangen sich im Dickicht ihrer eigenen Komplexität und verlieren aus den Augen, dass echte Stärke in der Klarheit liegt.Deshalb plädiert sie für konsequente Entscheidungen, radikale Ehrlichkeit und ein mutiges Bekenntnis zur eigenen Essenz. Ihre “No-Bullshit-Strategie” bietet Agenturen und Unternehmen Inspiration, sich neu zu erfinden, alte Strukturen loszulassen und auf das Wesentliche zu fokussieren.

Food has a big impact on mood.  Why would that be? How does what you put in your mouth that goes down into your stomach affect all that's going on in your brain?  Carbohydrates are my dear friends. Well, some of them. You know, In every family, there are those people, you know how some people just make you feel good and others, not so much. For example, let's talk about Dorothy. I used to hang out with Dorothy once a week. Sunday mornings, in fact, And after we'd been together, I had bad breath, a headache, and I felt more than a little edgy. You see, Dorothy is a donut.  We parted ways several years ago, but one day I walked into a meeting and there she was dressed in chocolate and still pretty hot and I thought I'd just take one bite. But before, you know, it, I ate the whole thing.  And it didn't take long that I felt physically and emotionally drained.  But here's the deal, that period of absence highlighted the contrast of how I feel when I eat good stuff versus pure junk. And maybe you've noticed, or maybe you  haven't and maybe you just feel kind of bad all the time and you don't really know why. So let's talk about how certain foods affect mood and why. And since mini medical school is going to be pretty intense today, I thought I would turn the science into fiction.   No, don't meanan the facts aren't going to be true. I mean, fictional characters. To help you remember, you're going to need to use your brain, but bring your imagination along too.  And don't worry about taking notes, I created a free download for you that. It has a list of mood boosting foods. If you're on my email list. List. I sent it out. And. If not, there's a link to sign up in the show notes.  It's never too late. You can also go to www healthy looks great on you dot. Com.    Now the way that food affects mood is. About altering brain chemistry and hormone levels.   And my old buddies carbohydrates, they can  give you a real boost. But, their cousins can really bring you down. So let's talk about the good side of the family first. Food rich in carbohydrates boost serotonin levels.  The ol' feegood neurotransmitter er serotonin. We're going to call her Sarah for short. Sarah Tonin affects mood sleep and appetite. She is an intriguing member of the neurotransmitter family. And it has both a significant impact, both on mental as well as physical health. Sarah is a happy girl because she regulates mood and makes you feel happy and have an overall sense of wellbeing.  And she's the one you'll really miss when she's not around. You may feel depressed or anxious. And Sarah's family is a power family. In fact. Mel is another member of the tonin family, and that's super important. Did you know that Sarah tonin is a precursor to melatonin? So think of Sarah as Mel's mother and you need both of them to get a good night's sleep, and yeah, I'm talking to you cranky pants.  Mel is related by marriage to the hormone family.  And his presence is highly influenced by light exposure. And he regulates the sleep wake cycle.   He squirts out of the pineal gland. And if you're interested in the science of sleep, I'll put a link to that episode in the show notes, "Why is sleeping so hard?"  And stay tuned because after this series on mood, we're going to focus on sleep.  But here's what happens, Mel gets up every evening and tells your body it's not night, night time. He stays up most of the night and then he drops off in the morning.  At least that's how it's supposed to work. He keeps the bodies internal clock in sync, making sure the circadian rhythm aligns with the sleep-wake cycle; daytime and nighttime. And he serves on the antioxidant team as well, combating free radicals and reducing oxidative stress in the body.  To boost melatonin, you can eat things like tart cherries, grapes, nuts.  And itit's alsoimportant to have good sleep hygiene.  And again, if. If you're interested in sleep, make sure you're on my email list because there are some really exciting things coming now, let's get back to Serotonin. Do you know where Sarah lives?  Did you say the brain? Well, I hate to tell you, but 90% of the body's serotonin  is actually found in the gut, not the  brain. That may surprise you, but think about that gut brain connection.  Yep. That's why upset emotions cause an upset tummy.  And since her address is in the GI tract, she affects appetite and digestion all the way to the end of the street.  I'm talking about bowel movements see, now you'll remember all of this science of neurotransmitter, Sarah Tonin. But wait, there's more. Speaking of learning and memory, Sarah affects those cognitive functions as well. You know, Sarah is the type who can be all work and no play . Because high levels of serotonin can actually reduce sex drive. And that's why some antidepressants which are called serotonin re-uptake inhibitors can kill your sex drive. It's a balancing act for sure because you need Sarah to have a good sense of wellbeing, but too much can cause intimacy to take a back seat.  Diet can boost our sense of wellbeing by increasing serotonin levels, particularly foods rich in tryptophan.    Sarah tends to run away when they're stress or negative thinking, and that can be a vicious cycle.  Positive thinking and stress management, increase serotonin levels. And if you need a review class on stress management. There's a link in the show notes. Now I'd like to introduce you to another member of the neuro-transmitter family. He is the most likable guy you ever wanted to meet. Dopamine is considered to be the reward neurotransmitter thatkes you feel pleasure and motivation and helps with learning too. He's a standup guy. But we still have to nickname him dope. You see, he has a big role in addiction.  And when I say he motivates, I mean, he really motivates. It's even if it's for another hit of whatever lights you up. Since dopamine is associated with pleasure, it contributes to addictive behaviors. That can be a substance or an activity that is pleasurable. But it drives you to find that pleasure again and again, and that can lead to impulsivity to find more dope at all costs regardless of the consequences. When you participate in the fun and games, whether that's eating, exercising, hanging out with those you love, dope is there. He pushes us to take action and pursue goals so we can feel that reward. That can drive us to work harder or it can distort and cause us to go into an endless pursuit.  Again, it's a delicate balance. Dope keeps us focused, helps us pay attention. So we learn better and become more productive. He's like a coach. He's also important in coordinating smooth muscle and movement. And people with Parkinson's disease have low levels of dopamine. So that explains some of the features of that disorder. And without dopamine you'll feel depressed and anxious.  He's good to have around. So where can you find good. Dope. Well, exercise can boost levels as well as sleep. And food can boost production. It's like a well coordinated family picnic. And if you think dopamine makes you high, I'd like to introduce you to another member of the neuro-transmitter family. Endorphins.  let's call her Endera. She comes around every single time there is stress or discomfort and tries to knock out your pain. It's like she wants to be the fixer in the family.  She'll pump you up, make you feel great. She'll even give you a feeling of euphoria when you exercise intensely. You've probably heard of a runner's high even if you've never experienced it. But she also makes you relaxed to fix all that stress and anxiety. She also boost your immune system. So, where is this lovely lady and where can we find her. Like it or not exercise, the more intense,  the better.  Not ready to start running?  Well, there's another great way to bring Endera to the party and I'm talking about a good old belly laugh to crank out endorphins. You see, laughter really is the best medicine and Endera loves her some dark chocolate too, as well as spicy foods that contain capsaicin like chili peppers.  She'll rush to your side, if you get acupuncture because yeah, there's a needle involved and she wants to fix your pain. And even if you're averse to such things, just turn on your favorite playlist, Endera loves whatever music you love and  that's why those tunes bump up your endorphin levels and help with mood. Endera the fixer releases endorphins to make you feel good, stay resilient in the face of challenge. The last member of the neurotransmitter family I'd like to introduce you to is oxytocin. Because you see, love love will keep us together.    Oxytocin is the love hormone.  We'll just call her O for short, she wants us to stay emotionally connected and she's a hormone too. She's the glue of the family. She helps form strong bonds, both between parents and children.  friends and lovers.  We could call her the big O. Yeah, I did that on purpose. The foundation of any relationship is trust. O brings out feelings of trust and empathy, which is important for social interaction to be more positive and rewarding. She calms us down and reduces anxiety and stress. O plays a critical role in childbirth too. She stimulates the uterus to contract and promote the release of breast milk.. She's a lover, not a fighter. She likes touch any touch -hugging, holding hands, shaking hands, even a high five. All of those things release oxytocin. And this is going to make all the pooches happy, but petting your dog actually releases oxytocin. You can boost O levels, by enjoying time with the people you love and having conversations that bring you closer together.  Also do something for someone else and you both get a reward. ' Because doing acts of kindness, stimulates release of oxytocin. Stress tries to steal the joy that O brings. So learn relaxation and stress management techniques to keep her around. And oh yeah. O is important for sex too, in case you didn't get my previous pun. But it's not just casual sex. You see oxytocin promotes monogamous relationships, even in some animals.  I'm here to tell you that God only desires the best for you. And that's why he created us the way he did.  Now that I've introduced you to some of the members of the hormone family. Let's meet the others. First is cortisol. Good old Cort. He gets a bad rap because you'll find him wherever there is stress, but here's the deal.  He's got a lot of responsibility on his shoulders. He lives in the adrenal glands and he shows up in an instant when he thinks there's any kind of danger. He is the force behind the flight or fight response. He's in charge of controlling your body's metabolism and how fats and proteins and carbohydrates are used. His job also includes regulating the immune system and combating inflammation in the body. He knows how important blood flow is.  So he's super involved in regulating blood pressure and cardiovascular function. So that we have the power to run or fight. We need him to survive,.  especially in stressful situations, but he can be a bit much. Chronic stress.  leads to persistently high levels of cortisol. Too much of Cort is not a good thing and it's terrible for your physical health, contributing to heart disease, unwanted weight gain, gI problems, anxiety, and depression. He can wake you up all night long and make you sick by lowering  your body's ability to fight off infection. He is a great guy and we need him, but a little goes a long way. If you know what I mean.  Now,  you can get him to chill out by exercising and making sure you have good quality sleep. Managing him isn't easy, but intentional relaxation.  and combating stress settles him down. And if you eat a balanced diet of whole foods, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains that keeps him from getting out of control too.  And O can help. So make sure you're tending to your social life and bonds with loved ones and O would  also like for you to meet another member of the sex hormone family. Estrogen.  We can call her Esther. I'm pretty sure you've met her before. And you know how much of an effect she can have on mood as well as energy levels and cognitive function. And when she gets on a roll,  it can cause fluctuations in emotions as well as wellbeing. Her main role is to influence the development of a woman's body during adolescence, then she controls the menstrual cycle during the reproductive years, and then she jumps off a cliff during menopause, but that's one of those family stories we'll talk about on another day. Esther can  be moody. I'm talking PMS, peri menopause. And all the things, female, but she's a protector maintaining bone density and healthy cholesterol levels and supporting cardiovascular health. And she has a twin sister, but they aren't identical. Her name is progesterone. And we're going to call her Polly. I think that's kind of cute.  Polly Polly progesterone. She regulates periods and maintains pregnancy. And that's a lot of Ps. She also helps balance moody Esther by calming her down and trying to control her mood swings. She promotes better sleep and is just naturally sedating. We like her a lot because she helps maintain skin elasticity.  Now to balance these two wild sisters eat a balanced diet rich in nutrients. F oods high in omega three fatty acids control their behavior especially well, think flax seeds, chia, seeds, and walnuts. And you can add those to oatmeal and smoothies. Exercise. Is another good way to reign them in. And even if they smell stress, they'll go crazy and drive you there too.   And of course don't skimp on good sleep because they throw everything out of balance and they'll eat you alive without good sleep.  The twins have a brother too, his name is testosterone. We're going to call him Rone instead of testy because, well, that doesn't sound good. You probably think of Rone as being a male hormone. And while it's true that he turns boys into men, he    is also found in women, it's just in smaller amounts. Rone can increase energy, motivation and overall mood. He's buff, and supports muscle mass and strength and bone density.  He can be a lover and a fighter.  It's important in libido for both men and women.  And the last baby in the hormone family is insulin.   We'll call her Sully. She regulates blood sugar, brain function and mood. And she's tried for years to get along with Dorothy. You remember? Sweet, sweet, Dorothy.  She makes you crash and leaves you feeling sluggish and irritable.  And Sully is really just a peacemaker, always trying to control blood sugar and make sure it gets into the cells for energy. If Sully doesn't work properly then the body doesn't move sugar out of the bloodstream the way it's supposed to, and then we develop diabetes.  Sweet Dorothy and all of her sugary friends can sneak up on you and ruin your day. But here's the deal. If you consume sugar regularly, yuou  might not even realize that sugar and other simple carbohydrates. are what's causing that quick sugar spike.  You eat your biscuit  and jelly and it goes up and then you get a sharp drop, then a crash and this rollercoaster of emotions can cause mood swings, irritability and fatigue. We talked about hangry last week.  Not only that, but a high sugar intake can cause increased inflammation in the body and that's been linked to mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. So we can all agree that chronic inflammation is not good for your brain.  Think about some antioxidant rich foods like berries, all kinds of berries, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and blackberries. And remember good old dark chocolate. It's gotta be at least 70% cocoa to maintain the antioxidant content.  And then those nuts, like walnuts, pecans, and almonds. As well as spinach and other dark. Leafy green vegetables like kale and Swiss chard, and lots of beans and artichokes for their antioxidant properties.  These are feel good foods. Unlike Dorothy. Dorothy sugar gives you a hit of dopamine. Well don't we like that. Yeah, but like everything else, the pleasure is temporary followed by dip, then cravings. And this is why sugar is such a vicious cycle and can be as addictive as any drug. These types of foods aren't good for you.  And they're often nutrient poor. And replacing in your diet, what could be nutrient dense foods. The standard American diet includes a lot  of sugar. And sugar before bed can affect sugar plums dancing in your head because sleep quality is affected in a negative way by sugar too. And that certainly contributes to mood disorders, including anxiety  and depression. But let's get back to insulin.  Natural ways to increase insulin are a balanced diet with low-glycemic index think fruit.  And regular physical activity. improves insulin sensitivity and helps maintain a healthy weight. Foods high in antioxidants include foods that have omega-3 fatty acids because they combat that inflammation. That's linked to mood disorders like depression. So are leafy greens, fatty fish, nuts, seeds, berries, dark chocolate, whole grains, legumes and bananas. They're all rich in vitamins and tryptophan, which is a precursor to serotonin.  Remember the feel good neurotransmitter serotonin.  It's also found in avocados, which contain healthy fats and vitamin B6, which can improve mood and brain function.  If you didn't get a chance to listen to last week's podcast.,I talked about the gut brain connection. You see. What you put in your tummy affects what happens in your head, and what happens in your head affects your mood.  So eat good food to have a good mood and.

What do you know about GABA - the forgotten neurotransmitter? We've heard about Serotonin and its use as an antidepressant but we seldom hear about the related GABA neurotransmitter and its effects on the body. Full show notes

In August 2024, we published the latest update of the Cochrane Review of the effect of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors on women with premenstrual syndrome and premenstrual dysphoric disorder. In this podcast, two of the authors, Jeppe Bennekou Schroll and Cecilie Jespersen, both from Cochrane Denmark, talk about the need for the review and its latest findings.

This week, during the Metabolic Classroom lecture, Dr. Ben Bikman examines the metabolic consequences of medications used for mental health, such as antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs. Ben highlights the close connection between mental health disorders like depression and anxiety with metabolic issues, particularly insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. These medications, while effective for managing mental health symptoms, often lead to metabolic side effects such as weight gain and insulin resistance, complicating the relationship between mental and metabolic health.Dr. Bikman reviews key neurotransmitters—serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine—that influence both mental and metabolic functions. Serotonin helps regulate mood and appetite but can promote fat accumulation and inhibit fat breakdown. Dopamine is associated with pleasure and reward systems but also plays a role in regulating energy expenditure and fat metabolism. Norepinephrine, closely related to adrenaline, is involved in the body's stress response and can stimulate fat breakdown and thermogenesis.The lecture then shifts to the metabolic effects of common mental health medications, such as SSRIs, tricyclic antidepressants, and antipsychotics. While these drugs can stabilize mood, they are often linked to significant metabolic disturbances, including weight gain, insulin resistance, and cravings for carbohydrate-heavy foods. Ben notes that these medications may exacerbate underlying metabolic issues, potentially worsening the mental health conditions they are meant to treat.Dr. Bikman concludes by emphasizing the importance of addressing metabolic health when treating mental health disorders. He highlights the role of brain glucose hypometabolism, where insulin resistance in the brain may contribute to anxiety and depression. He suggests that improving metabolic health through approaches like ketogenic diets could potentially enhance mental health outcomes by better nourishing the brain and restoring neurotransmitter balance.https://www.insuliniq.com Ben's favorite meal-replacement shake: https://gethlth.com (discount: BEN10)Ben's favorite electrolytes (and more): https://redmond.life (discount: BEN15)Ben's favorite allulose source: https://rxsugar.com (discount: BEN20)Ben's favorite health check-up for women: https://choosejoi.co/drben15 (discount: DRBEN15)Ben's favorite health check-up for men: https://blokes.co/drben15 (discount: DRBEN15)References:Due to character length constraints, references are not posted here.

Did you know there's more serotonin in the gut than in the brain? The connection between our digestive health and our mental health are strong and surprising. To explore this link, Faith Salie talks with Dr. Benjamin Lebwohl, a gastroenterologist at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia and the Director of Clinical Research at Columbia's Celiac Disease Center. He's an expert on the connections between gastrointestinal health and the other systems in our body that rely on good digestion. He describes how GI diseases like Celiac have implications for mental health, and what anyone can do to support their digestive health.

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Charan Ranganath, Ph.D., professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of California, Davis, and a world expert on the neuroscience of memory. We discuss how memory works, what causes diseases of dementia like Alzheimer's, and science-based strategies to reduce age-related cognitive decline. We also cover the essential role of curiosity and the dopamine-curiosity link that can assist memory formation and neuroplasticity. We then discuss challenges with attention and focus, and how to overcome them, as well as how to manage task-switching and create home and work environments more conducive to cognitive health and longevity. Additionally, we explore the emotional aspect of memories, tools for overcoming rumination, and strategies for reframing past negative experiences. This episode will be of interest to anyone seeking to improve and maintain their cognitive health, focus, and memory across their lifespan, as well as for those struggling with ADHD.
