“But meditation may increase brain volume in areas of the brain related to learning, memory, neurotransmitter production, empathy, compassion, attention, and self-relevance, while decreasing activity of the amygdala, the area of the brain involved in anxiety and fear.”

“Major depression is often characterized by low glutamate and GABA and these finding may partially explain why exercise has been an effective treatment for some patients with major depression.”

“The two types of bacteria that were elevated by the diet were Akkermansia muciniphila and Parabacteroides species. Interestingly, the presence of both were required to provide protection against seizures.”

“The human gut is an important site for the production and metabolism of neurotransmitters like serotonin. Neurotransmitters in the gut regulate digestive processes, communicate with the brain directly through the enteric nervous system, and interact with the microbiome.”

“Magnesium holds promise for improving sleep quality – but the data don't support it yet. Some research suggests that magnesium may improve sleep quality by regulating neurotransmitters involved in the sleep cycle.”

“The bright light exposure activated the prefrontal cortex. Exposure to bright light in the morning is what sets the biological clocks (circadian rhythm) that regulate 15% of the human genome including genes that produce neurotransmitters.”

“Lactate serves as a signaling molecule in the brain, where it stimulates the production of neurotransmitters that promote focus and attention, as well as brain-derived neurotrophic factor, known for its role in supporting neurogenesis.”

“The high active group (top 10%) reported activities like aerobics, calisthenics and running. Aerobic exercise has been shown to grow new brain cells and anaerobic exercise has been shown to increase the production of neurotransmitters and improve learning/memory.”

“But WHAT increases norepinephrine? Lots of things! Cryo & cold-water immersion (up to 5-fold) being among them! I just recently released a report that talks about how cold stress boosts this very interesting neurotransmitter and hormone known as norepinephrine.”
