Do You Have Low Serotonin Levels

It is all too common in our society to deal with a serotonin deficiency. Serotonin helps us to feel good. It has been called by many the “happy molecule” for its role in helping to create a positive mood.

Awesome video... I study all of this... and you packed into 1 video what I have gotten in approx 20 other videos... You talk about people who don't respond well to SSRIs... What about people when taking SSRIs get more depressed, and the higher the dose the worse they get... even when things like Effexor are added in which increase dopamine.... Would love to see a video on why this is... Doctor Jockers rocks... So grateful for the his videos....

This diet also kills pathogens in the gut which actually negatively effects serotonin production so it would be nice if you mentioned that treating the pathogenic overgrowth of microbes and parasites in the gut first is more important.

Think serotonin as the long term happiness you want and think of how dopamine is getting in the way of that. Social media, addictions, etc. You could even get dopamine from reaching a long term goal but all it is is this short term pleasure usually people take for granted.

Then you struggle to reach your goals and end up with low satisfaction. Satisfaction and contentment come from serotonin.

Wow this is damn deep 😮, I was having trouble getting to sleep and constantly waking up at 1am and go back to sleep at 5am, I was getting negative thoughts come to my mind and tryna basically convince me that it’s true, and I have been eating a lot of fast foods, maybe my serotonin levels are off.

Could you tell me if Glycine is good for Bipolar?

I greatly respect you and your work. I know you are a Christian man. I have all the symptoms of low serotonin. I have fibromyalgia and have had a lot of losses over the years. Abuse, divorce, loss of my parents, moving a lot, etc. I also found out that I have the mthfr genetic mutation issue too. I have tried different antidepressants but I can't stick with them due to side effects. Even 5htp keeps me awake... it doesn't help me sleep. I don't sleep well at all either. Doctor, do you have any suggestions?

Taking SSRI type of meds for extended period of time can result in low serotonin level. Is this true?

Is there a way to take an organic acids test at home and send it to a resource center to have it evaluated ?

I’ve been following this diet for the last month to help get into better shape. The last week though I’ve started developing a lot of waves anxiety, sometimes lasting for hours. I’ve been taking all the vitamins you’ve suggested for about 6 months as well. Any ideas why I am starting to feel this way now? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I am suspecting that my hormonal pills or birth control affected me a lot and caused depression and anxiety. Am i right?
My OB gyne told me i was the first case who have complained about it, almost denying so he referred me to a psychiatrist, , my psychiatrist did not told me directly that the culprit was my birth control. So she prescribed me SSRI instead.
I have endometriosis thats why they put me on hormonal pills to control my estrogen and stop my menstruation.

So I’ve heard that nutrients in oats and whole wheat bread can help bring seratonin through the BBB? Is this true?
