Editor's Review:The Natural Solution to weight control and mood enhancement.
Serotonin--a completely natural hormone manufactured by your own body--can dramatically transform your mood, reduce your appetite, and improve your life. Serotonin has a powerful effect on the brain: enough and you feel great; too little and you may binge on food or alcohol, get a migrane, or even feel suicideal. In fact, millions of people take Prozac every day to compensate for low serotonin levels without knowing that changes in diet and lifestyle may be all they need.
Now this breakthrough book helps you take charge of your own health and healing. It shows you how to boost your serotonin levels, safely and without drugs. You'll discover fast and easy-to-do daily serotonin-balancing routines and food choices that can:
Reduce weight by natural appetite suppression Fight depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder Curb migranes and chronic headache Relieve PMS Energize your body and eliminate fatigue
Includes a complete eating and activity program to keep your mood up, your energy high, and your appetite curbed.
Plus: learn the pros and cons of the new serotonin-active drugs.
Reader Reviews: I was disappointed in this book, hoping for something to help my wife who is on Prozac for waking her brain up as she is recovering from a major hemmorhaggic stroke. This book is good for people who don't realize how profoundly their diet effects all aspects of their health. But there are no "secrets" revealed, and no magic relief for my wife.The scientific explanations are crystal clear, the advice thoughtful and lucid, and the writing exemplary. This is an excellent book about the mysterious chemistry of the brain and how naturally to enhance your levels of serotonin.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 MDI 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.
