22 Ways to Increase Serotonin Levels

Posted by Guest Writer · July 07, 2023

Serotonin is the "feel-good" chemical with a variety of functions in the human body. While dopamine releases the happy hormone, serotonin stabilizes the mood. The two can go hand in hand. Serotonin, sometimes considered a hormone, is a neurotransmitter the body uses to send messages between nerve cells. Serotonin plays a role in our mood, sleep, emotions, appetite, and digestion. People with low levels of serotonin (also known as a serotonin deficiency), find themselves feeling tired, irritable, and unable to function properly. To help combat this, we've compiled a few methods on how to get more serotonin including foods high in serotonin, exercise and serotonin, sunlight, and more. All are ways to increase serotonin naturally and safely.

The 2023 Ultimate Guide to Bright Light Therapy

Posted by Brandon Landgraf · April 13, 2023

During the winter, the days get shorter, and our contact with the sun becomes even more limited. Many of us leave for work just as the sun is rising and don’t return home until after it has set, not getting any sunlight at all. While the amount of sunlight we need varies widely depending on our skin tone, age, and other factors, this lack of exposure can inhibit the healthy production of essential hormones. This could disrupt our sleep schedules and contribute to conditions like insomnia, depression, and seasonal affective disorder.
Bright light therapy lamps, also known as sad lamps or happy lights, provide an artificial alternative to natural light that can help solve this common problem.

Handy Tool for Sciatica Relief

My new TENS 7000 rechargeable unit is a great addition for me to manage sciatica flares. I like that it is rechargeable and compact. Unit was recommended by my PT and I’m glad to have it.

YES!!!

Just say yes to this great machine. It is small and very easy to use. The rechargeable battery lasts forever. Works just like my chiropractors. I used before and am using after hip replacement surgery. My surgeon highly recommends stimulation therapy. Customer service is amazing too.
