Tired of the Winter Blues? How To Elevate Your Mood With Serotonin Artwork

The Nutritional Nerd

My name is Kelly Aiello, and I’m a registered holistic nutritionist (RHN) and Brain Health Coach. I created the Nutritional Nerd podcast as a place to connect with people who are looking to live a happier, healthier life. I want to give you the tools you need to unlock your full potential and to live the kind of life you have always imagined. When it comes to nutrition, there is a lot of conflicting information. It seems like every week there's a new study and a new fad diet that seem to contradict the news from last week. The truth is everyone is different and biochemically unique. As such, your body has different needs. It also means there is not a single one-size-fits-all diet for everyone. Together we'll cut through all the hype and learn what your eating habits should look like to get you whole food optimized.

Tired of the Winter Blues? How To Elevate Your Mood With Serotonin

November 15, 2021 • Kelly Aiello • Season 2 • Episode 21

Hi everyone! This is Kelly - your Nutrition Coach and Brain Health Professional on a mission to teach you how to get a better brain!

Today’s video is all about serotonin and how you can use it to elevate your mood.So if you’ve ever wondered what serotonin does, if your levels may be low, or if you’re tired of the winter blues, then you don’t want to miss this video!

First, what is serotonin and what happens if you don’t have enough?

Serotonin is one of the neurotransmitters involved in mental health. It is essential for our memory, stress response, and processing of emotions. It’s often referred to as the “Happy Hormone” due to its role in promoting positive feelings and prosocial behaviour. Serotonin can also help us sleep well, regulate our appetite, enable us to learn more quickly, and help us consolidate new memories.

If your levels are too low, you might:
Feel low
Have a depressed mood
Feel anxious
Become irritable or anger easily
Have sleep issues
Feel constantly fatigued
Feel impulsive
Have a decreased appetite
Experience nausea or digestive issues or
Crave sweets or simple sugars

So if you tend to get a little down over the winter months, find yourself craving sugars or carbohydrates, are tired all the time, and simply feel “blah,” then you may want to consider low serotonin levels as a potential cause.

And if this does sound like you, be sure to watch the entire video to discover some natural ways of boosting serotonin to help you beat those winter blues!
