Serotonin is well known as a brain neurotransmitter, yet new studies shows 90% of serotonin is produced in the digestive tract. The digestive tract is known as the second brain and is why gut health is so important for mental wellbeing and overall health. Feeding and enhancing our gut bacteria (gut microbiomes) can help boost the way you feel both physically and mentally.
Fermented foods, Turkey, eggs, cheese, pineapple, tofu, nuts & seeds all contain tryptophan, an essential amino acid which helps your body produce serotonin.
