You probably know serotonin best as the “happy molecule,” but how exactly is it linked to our mood? This hormone plays a role in digestion, sleep, memory, and more but is best known for its impact on regulating happiness, anxiety, and mood.

Low serotonin levels in the brain can lead to symptoms of depression, so understanding this powerful hormone is critical in protecting our mental health.

In this episode, Cody and her guest Jen St. Clair explore the root causes of low serotonin, and how it is connected to mood disorders. They also talk about how important it is to take a deep look into your health history to see all that can be contributing. Jen shares her story of how she overcame severe depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and addiction naturally. She shares how she thought she was going to be on medications for the rest of her life. Her life was changed when she learned how to address nutritional deficiencies, rebuild her gut health and work on her mindset.
