Product Description

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.

A lifesaver for me!
I had suffered from depression for more than 25 years, off and on, and finally I was put on anti-depressants. I hated the side effects and eventually had to quit the meds. I came across this book, just a small mass produced paperback book and the information, although simple has changed my life. I no longer have mood swings, dark brooding periods or headaches. The author takes a lot of time to explain the physiology behind it all. If the science is too much for the reader than he/she can just get to the nitty gritty of it all. The method she proposes is simple for anyone to follow. My husband was very skeptical about a book changing one's life but I had no choice but to give a chance. I'm forever grateful to the author for writing this book. My family has a wife and mother now who isn't a Jekyll and Hyde show.

Praise from "The Care and Feeding of Your Brain" Author
Congrats on a good review of this neurotransmitter that is so key in so much of how we behave, and which can be influenced by so many things around us. Nice focus. Recommend "The Care and Feeding of Your Brain" for a general view of all things that affect the brain and behavior...Kenneth Giuffre MD
