But we also need to be able to break down all of our protein and amino acids because all these amino acids are the building blocks for all of our neurotransmitters, whether it’s serotonin, dopamine, glutamate, GABA, whether it’s our beta endorphin, all these are really, really important and we have to be able to break them down. So of course, there’s some people that say like, like Kevin just said about the serotonin being made in the gut really important, helps motility probably does have some mood influences just because the guts so important for absorption of all these nutrients, and we need serotonin for reasonably healthy gut function. There’s a lot of people that talk about this, a lot of the precursor amino acids like five HTP, or even dopamine or tyrosine, the precursor amino acids can actually cross the blood brain barrier and then also convert. Also, a lot of serotonin supposedly does not cross the blood brain barrier.
So serotonin neurotransmitter helps a lot with motility helps a lot in the digestive tract, right. And if you’ve got bacterial overgrowth are parasites or other infections, that pathway is not going to be working as optimally and no, this is not a deficiency of antidepressant drugs.ĭr.
But in reality, we really need to be focusing on the gut you and I’ve discussed this many times, but a large percentage of serotonin is going to be made in the intestines. And so what I first want to tell people is that you can come in and you can spot treat things like you can use different nutrients and amino acids to help serotonin. So I was playing with adaptogenic herbs, long before I had the knowledge I have now about gut infections and serotonin. But I didn’t realize that I was missing the smoking gun, which was all the gut infections I had. I would take ashwagandha to help with hormones and adrenal support. And, you know, once I figured out the connection between gut and mood, it was a game changer because I was focused so much on mood supplements, right? I would take like rhodiola is a natural antidepressant helped to boost energy. This is an issue that I suffered with when I had gut issues. Today we’re going to be chatting about low serotonin signs, symptoms, and natural functional medicine root cause solutions to get to the root of why everything’s happening, why these mood issues, energy issues, cognitive issues could be a play, Evan, how you doing today, man?Įvan Brand : Doing really well. Justin Marchegiani : We are live! It’s Dr. It plays such an essential role in the body, it can be hard to determine whether low serotonin is causing a problem.ĭr. Our serotonin helps regulate a wide range of bodily functions, including sleep, bladder and bowel functions, orgasm, and emotions.
J and Evan talk about the root causes and presentation of this condition. Most of the time, taking antidepressant medications called selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) can improve serotonin deficiency symptoms. Serotonin deficiency has common symptoms, including low mood and poor sleep quality.
