Serotonin is needed in many bodily processes. If we are not getting enough protein, sleep, quiet time, exercise, quality nutrition and music in our lives; we can negatively affect how this important chemical is processed, received, and transported. To change your life you may need serotonin’s help.
Dr. Fred Clary, founder of Functional Analysis Chiropractic Technique, reviews how we can work with and not against this influencing chemical.
Serotonin, or 5-HT, predates the nervous system and vertebrates. Yes, it was here first! Serotonin is found and has profound roles in plants, single-celled organisms, multi-celled organisms, worms, flukes, insects, seafood (I mean ocean creatures…I must be hungry), amphibians, reptiles, mammals etc. etc. Serotonin has regulatory functions in the human central and peripheral nervous system, reproductive system, cardiovascular system, endocrine system etc etc. Serotonin is just not a mood regulator.
Dr. Fred Clary the founder of Functional Analysis Chiropractic Technique begins a series on the role of the phylogenetically ancient monoamine in our lives and our collective history.
Movement, the ability to crawl and walk and reach and play, is a highly complicated neurological program that our brains (our computers) have to run. It takes lots of bodily resources and physiological capital (neurotransmitters, ATP, neurons and glial). Dr.Fred Clary introduces the concept that your movement can be used to assess your physical state, your strengths and your weaknesses. If you cannot get out of your chair correctly how are you going to fight off a cold, be a balanced parent or undertake a personal relationship correctly. Movement takes priority before most functions as a human being, and if its jacked, everything else suffers no matter how seemly far removed the function.
The more fad diets depart from the laws of biology, the more ridiculous the claims of health and wellness will be. Dr. Fred Clary introduces the concept of following your genetics (who you really are) instead of what the experts that don’t have your DNA tell you.
