Nice video. Redice overthinking. Be careful what you feed your mind. Avoid comparing yourself with others, avoid storing bottled up emotions, reduce watching negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives relief from stress-anxiety. For a relaxed mind observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils and within the nostrils for 10-15 minutes or more. You can sit on a chair or lay down anywhere, be as still as possible, eyes closed but no deep breathing. Don’t fight your thoughts. Make it a lifetime habit to observe your breath before sleep, when travelling, when reading, at the workplace etc, if needed with eyes open. Best wishes--Counsellor.
, also much research shows that repetitive eye movements can also induce increased production of Serotonin, so reading particularly from printed Pages not screens can increase serotonin levels.
Just a 10 min meditation each morning makes a big difference. Mentally it helps me carry that calm energy throughout the day. Of course this is one top of exercise and a healthy sustainable diet
@@himler4979 I would say this regular meditation : take long and slow breaths and focus on the air entering and leaving your lungs. It's very effective. 20 minutes Then 40 even 60 min. When you begin to enjoy deeper relaxation .
Great video and advice. As additional I can advice: 1. To make breath meditation and other type of meditation that reduce your stress. 2. Meet positive friends.
I like that it mentioned snacking which is something not often talked about, especially in our eat-non-stop culture. This is particularly helpful for those suffering from gut issues. Having appropriate rest from food is just as important as eating nutrient dense foods. Great list of practical tips! Thank you!
I fast one day out of every week which definitely helps , and I have completely changed my diet , no processed food at all and no sugar , and meat only once a week , I now weigh the same as I did at 15 and I'm over 50 .
@@maartje3262 Certainly, if you don't have issues like SIBO, Methane dominance or MMC issues. A snack for those of us who suffer from those issues, can send things spiraling. Everyone else might be perfectly fine. Such is life!
Best stress buster - Head phone music,, enough sleep on bed Mental stress reduction-- bounce ball with 300 times, exercise daily Dopamine also love hormone
How is it known that many people suffer from low serotonin when doctors don't test levels.? I do agree with these tips though, they make sense, thankyou.
I would say stop using social media ,do yoga ,eat vegetables more ,avoid fast food,quit smoking and spend time with your old friends.breath taking relaxation techniques help alot .
I dont undestand how u are praising this video...serotonin is not a hormone it is a neurotramsmitter. Headline needs to be corrected.....video shows how to increase production of total serotonin the the human body but not in the cerebral cortex in brain. This video is incorrect. Depression happens due to low seretonin in the upper brain and has nothing to do with total serotonin in your bloodstream. People with extreme depression can have absolutely normal levels of serotonin in the blood.This video is incorrect. 95% of serotonin in produced in the gut and 5 % in lower brain. Depression happenes when serotonin in lower brain cannot reached in the upper brain due to an overactive temporal lobe in the cerebrum. This has nothing to do with total serotonin production on the body
Reading the comments here seems I'm not the only one suffer from insomnia, everyone somehow struggle with this phenomenon, Hope this video can help and have a wonderful sleep.
I rarely comment.. I came by this video by accident and I'm glad I did. for some time I've felt like I've been struggling to feel happy, even if things are not really bad per se. after watching this video I realised so many things I'm doing wrong for my seratonin levels. I'm going to slowly incorporate many of the things listed in this video and hopefully see results. for the first time in a little while I feel a spark in hopes of getting better. thank you!
This was an EXCELLENT video! Thank you. I never understood the cause of my current issues and looking at the symptoms of low serotonin I now understand. I never understood the connection between insulin and serotonin either. A real eye opener. Thank you!
Hi, so based on your comment 4 months ago, have you applied what the points in this video to your own life and what was the outcome? As they say in the UK, "the proof is in the pudding" 🙂 Andrew
I don't understand. Doesn't this collidate with mass phase? Cause Ive problems to eating enough to get big. So every tip is like eat 6 meals a day instead of 3 But now it seems unhealthy
@@onepieceguy2659 The most important thing is not to consume just carbs. If you want to put on weight you eat often because you can eat more food, but the important thing is what kind of food you eat - everytime its protein with carbs or fats. If you consume steak with salad and then you eat chocolate, you won't raise your blood sugar that much than if you eat just chocolate. So it's very important to have protein with every meal/snack.
I couldn't find any research that supported that claim. Only research against the types of snacks one is consuming. Also, I read certain carbs contain tryptophans and also carbohydrates help the uptake of tryptophan. Some nutritionists went as far as saying healthy snacking without excessive calorie consumption cam help with mood disorders. Please enlighten me where this fact is coming from.
@@emilycameron8551 This fact comes from experiment with glucometer. Buy one, take your bloodsugar levels in the morning before eating. Then eat raw honey 3 tbsp and take your blood sugar levels. After 2 hours eat chicken with salad and on the top of that 3tbsp honey and check blood sugar again to see the results. After that you can experiment with chocolate or similar thing that is not raw carbs but fat and carbs combined and see how they affects. I advice you to snack protein with carbs or raw nuts or don't snack :)
@@OcerWorld so you did just draw a conclusion and didn't get this fact from research. I think I will continue to do as my doctor and nutritionist say. I really hope people don't just take these anecdotes too seriously and take advice from professionals who can cite the research that supports their claims.
You are loved and cherished. You have nothing to fear. There is nothing you can do wrong. If I had to boil this entire message down to one sentence, it would run this way: You are loved. And if I had to boil it down further, to just one word, it would (of course) be, simply: Love.
Thank you I'm 50 years old and i feel a lot of pain in my body that's why I need i can't sleep better. Please gives us more information about health.more power

It realy change my life🎉 I was feeling same disorder for last 4 months season is one factor God bless you sir I am from kashmir paradise on earth thank you so much
As the presentation made clear it helps to get a reasonable amount of reasonable intensity sunlight into your eyes and to the retinas, this not only helps with stabilizing or increasing serotonin levels because the sunlight contacting the retina triggers more serotonin production but also it's critical to maintaining your eyesight. The eyes contain sensor cells known as rods which sense for black and white spectrum and Cones which sense for the full color spectrum, these are very sensitive and require support activity by another cell in the retina, this other support cell will not replicate and will will not maintain sufficient numbers and activity to prevent damage to the rods and cones unless on a daily basis the retina are contacted by a reasonable intensity full spectrum sunlight. So of course if you are in very high intensity sun or going to be in modern intensity Sun for extended periods wearing UV blocking eyewear would be appropriate, however there are a lot of people who wear these full blocking sunglasses virtually every time they are outside sometimes indoors as well comma this will result in loss of vision over time due to damage to the rods and cones due to the support cells not being functional or not reput reproducing insufficient quantity Again the support cells only replicate if they have regular exposure to reasonable levels of sunlight period you can look this up for yourself it's been well-documented for many years
Hi. Thank you for the advice. I have been also reading some studies, because I noticed that there are also other factors important to pay attention in taking good care of our eyes, not only in terms of our eye sights. Pay attention to the muscles, ligaments, nets around the eye balls, as well as the eyeballs itself. I noticed on these after I got so many SIGNALS from adverse reactions of extremely many symptoms by taking the 2nd vaccinations as the early prevention for the effort to detect some certain cells or lack of orthomolecular nutrients, most likely the water soluble ones and other vitamins need to be consumed by the body. I also know that the lack of aerobic exercise outside regularly was missing for many years obviously caused the biggest concern in the body for not having such transporter bubbles of the fresh oxygen molecules to be able to slide through my body like a water slides that my good and currently bad bacterias are not in their time of their shift-working time until our body time life expires, so to speak, then it's their time to return our body into the soil, although we are living "in" the planet earth alteady. Anyway we need to protect our eye balls, and the question is how to pump up the balls, like we pump up the balls and tires of our bicycle. You spoke about the "spectrum", so of course when the eyeballs are not sphere, the eye's can't function properly. Their ways of sending us the signal that way, we should eat balanced food that they are properly prepared, we don't get our aerobic exercise outside regularly and we should take enough fluid (better cut down sugar, even the fruits sugar. But take good salts that our microorganisms know from their ocean and mountain homes, because they are missing their "quality of life in our body", after all we are functioning like a good host family like member as the host of our own body in taking good initiative as good leader who controls our body well, like an excellent driver. 🚗 😊❤️
@@Dana-cz1yu I don't know these days there are so many different compositions of the material that contact lenses are made from you would have to verify with the manufacturer if they are UV blocking or not I doubt even the optometrist could tell you that without referencing data directly from the manufacturer
@@keithb7981 Thanks for all of the information you posted; I had no idea. I just looked this up for anyone who wears contacts: Contact lenses that offer protection against UV rays are labeled as Class 1 and Class 2. Class 1 lenses block 96% of UVA and 100% of UVB rays. Class 2 lenses block 70% of UVA and 95% of UVB rays.
This is amazing, thank you. I think also one needs to keep in mind of the opposite negative effects to the UV sunlight on the eyes. One of the risks is the development of Pterygium and Benign Nevus on the eyes from the UV rays, wind and dust. Those are things that allegedly don’t go away. It’s something I developed from the sunlight, so just food for thought.
i'm using 5-HTP and it is just great. I've used antidepressants for years and for me 5-HTP is way better. Also i have these light glasses called AYOLITE for the dark winterdays. That and eating healthy as much as i can and exercise made me boost my serotonin levels so i can function like a normal human being.
@@tamilynjae Yes, i stopped using antidepressants and not long after i started using 5-HTP... It was actually a Jim Carrey video that convnced me, it's on youtube where he talks about it.
Physicians just so stressed so ibwill listen ,learn and understand and apply to my life and believe all beauty comes and physical self feel better, now I understand the love of trees, probiotics and prebiotics are so important Thank you I appreciate you so much ,I will work as my gut/ tummy is connected to my brain no doubt
Thank you so much, Ryan, excellently done. One thing that actually was the worst part of having Serotonin Syndrome was the body temperature not being regulated. Mine was low, so it caused dysregulation of the body temp, in turn causing intense all-over sweating (no odor) for 20 years. Tried to get help, was extremely anxious and even had tremors, but not one person in Western Medicine or Alternative, realized I had extremely low serotonin levels. I was severely depressed when I could no longer walk 3-5 miles a day due to post-polio syndrome taking my muscles down. LOL, no job too easy, but with sleep now up to 6 hours, things are improving, and I've always kept a gratitude journal, so the depression doesn't win. Thanks again so much, wonderful video, just wanted to remind about body temperature dysregulation.
Meditation and mindfulness are the best long term medicines. Some may find it difficult to adapt to them but once it does.....it's all done. Fish suppliment and Ashwagandha helps quite a lot.
Very good, clear, to the point explination of things I've heard before. In this instance the process by which these support serotonin etc, combined with great notes and visuals, make a lot of sense. Thank you.

You r amzaing, gave perfect remedies for improving on serotonin levels Sir. I am fighting everyday and trying everything u mentioned here but I got extra help from you... Thank you so much for this information 🙏.

Ôi thả nào những hôm được nghỉ ru rú trong nhà cả ngày nên mình hay đau đầu, chóng mặt. Còn hôm nào phải ra ngoài đi học, đi làm thì lại khoẻ hơn. Lần sau về quê, buổi chiều t7 mình sẽ đi bộ 30’-45’ ngoài trời để tăng serotonin mới được 🥳 Video thật hữu ích mà. Thanh you a lot ❤
Best thing i found to help with my depression and sleep, is taking long walks through forest areas, preferably with waterfall feature nothing more peaceful than listening to the water crashing down .
Why Adults Should Play Playing is a very important means for development. When we play, we develop new relationships and connections. While it is common knowledge that children need to play in order to develop, which is why we buy them games and put a lot of effort into working out the most suitable games for each stage of their development, it is not so clear with us adults. We do not really like to play. Our relations end up quickly deteriorating into each one of us degrading the other, which ends our playing. As a result, we miss out on a lot of what we can get out of life. We fail to examine all of our options for development as adults, and we thus put a halt to our further development. We have turned our daily lives into a prison of sorts. That is, we need to look, behave and talk in certain kinds of ways-and only in those certain kinds of ways-otherwise, we will not fit in with others and gain their respect. Without their respect, we get treated in ways that harm us. We suffer from living in such a prison, but it has become so ingrained into our lives that we cannot escape from it. The essence of our playing as adults should be that we treat each other positively even if we do not feel like it, and to teach others to do the same. Playing in such a way would emulate the higher state of positive connection that nature is developing us toward, and we would thus draw positive forces of connection that dwell in nature into our relations, and start feeling happier, more confident, and that our lives are purpose-driven.
i have been taking this 5htp for 1 month. this is really awesome . my long term depression has completely gone. pl tell me how long should i take this?
This is excellent! Very well done and I love the fact that it's summarized at the end too. 👍 This would be the best video on boosting serotonin that's I've seen.

I after using Serotonin pills, I had severe hair loss and had painful periods and it had a bad effect on my periods. But i was very calme and happy like a baby !😢😢 Finally, I had to stop taking pills.

Doctor said taking low dose of duloxetine would help my fibromyalgia by increasing seratonin reuptake but had to blackout room for sleep and try having quarter of a cup of red wine and dark chocolate before bed. It works but choc and wine not nice at bedtime. Tryptophan on order.
This is very good advice and help for everybody.specually for me.i never anything about this like this..I now know more about it..thank you so much ..much appreciated.
Not one time was 95% Caco chocolate, Rosemary's (too much makes your hair fall out.) mentioned for depression. Chamomile tea and melatonin to help you to sleep naturally!
I've been taking 5htp for 20 years.When I stop for even a few days ! I feel the blues rather fast .I did monitor up a d down doses ,a bit of experiment, to find that 400 MG was just right daily dose for keeping a good mood.
Take B3 niacin with flush to lower cholestrol. Also, take Ashwagandha to help sleep and lower stress. For breathing, take vitamin D3 + K2, vitamin C acerola cherry, zinc, vitamin E annatto/tocotrienols helps lower cholestrol as well.
So you are supposed to take Tryptophan on an empty stomach.It takes the stomach at least 6 hrs to empty.Lunch would have to be the last meal of the day in order to get to bed at a reasonable hour.Is this correct!?
Generally speaking "an empty stomach" is used to describe two hours or more after eating. This just allows time for the amino acids from other foods to be digested first, so that the tryptophan gets absorbed properly. 💚
Everything sounds amazing and proven to be true, I just can’t sleep with the light off 😂 well, I keep my hallway light shining though my room. I cannot sleep in the dark!
I thought at first that this was going to be a foolish video... boy was I wrong, this was a stellar video of great value. But I cannot give up my poptarts, sorry. I do bicycle about hours daily, on a track bike in the gently rolling hills all year round. Thank you for this video. Yes I Subscribed and Liked.
Thank you for this video as well as all the comments. Regarding tryptophan, I often read that it has difficulty crossing the brain barrier...What do you think?
Hi, yes sometimes if you consume other amino acids from your food, they compete for transportation so it doesn't always get through the blood brain barrier in this case. The key to absorbing tryptophan into the brain is consuming it when there isn't other foods or proteins present. So for example, taking it at night time when you haven't eaten for several hours, can help it to absorb better. This will help the carrier protein to get it into the brain to make serotonin, melatonin etc.. 💚
If you live in a climate that doesn't get sunlight during the winter, there's also not much leaves on the trees or much of anything in nature to see. The ground is also set or frozen making injury more likely.
