Secrets of Serotonin: The Natural Hormone That Curbs Food and Alcohol Cravings, Reduces Pain, and Elevates Your Mood

Serotonin has a powerful effect on the brain: enough and you feel great; too little and you may binge on food and alcohol, get a migraine, or even feel suicidal. In fact, millions of people take prescription anti-depressants every day to compensate for low serotonin levels, without knowing that changes in diet and life-style may be all they need to improve their mood.Incorporating the latest research on serotonin since the initial publication of this ground-breaking book, this completely revised and updated edition of the over 150,000 copy-selling book explores: the link between yo-yo dieting and serotonin deficiencies; the serotonin and eating disorder connection; the reason why migraines and depression are far more common among women than men; the importance of serotonin for modulating impulse control; and, the benefit of serotonin for sufferers of irritable bowel syndrome and fibromyalgia.With a complete eating and activity program, "Secrets of Serotonin" will guide you toward better overall health as you boost serotonin naturally.
