What is Serotonin?

Some say that Serotonin is The chemistry of Well-Being.

More than 100,000 chemical reactions go on in your brain every second! The brain is also 
a radio transmitter, which sends out measurable electrical wave signals. In fact the brain continues to send out these signals for as long as 37 hours after death!
 
Among the brain's many jobs is to be your own chemist. The brain produces more than 50 identified active drugs. Some of these are associated with memory, others with intelligence, still others are sedatives. Endorphin is the brain's painkiller, and it is 3 times more potent than morphine.
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter, involved in the transmission of nerve impulses. It is manufactured in your body using the amino acid tryptophan. It is manufactured in your body using the amino acid tryptophan. Release of serotonin or other drugs (depending on the type of nerve) causes the other nerveto fire and continue the message along the "cable"  
                                         .
 
The neurotransmitters are dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. At the neurochemical and physiological level, neurotransmitters are extremely important, since they carry impulses between nerve cells. The substance that processes the neurotransmitter called serotonin is the amino acid tryptophan. It increases the amount of serotonin made by the brain.

 

 

I can also offer some ideas that may be helpful in your personal journey to overcome these challenges, based on my personal and professional experiences. Please send me a message so that we can discuss these things in private.
Wishing you well,
Judy
