I would like to pool together a 'go to guide' to reduce serotonin as this seems a common problem on this forum.
I too am suffering from all the classic symptoms of High Serotonin and am looking to introduce measures to reduce the lethargy, learned helplessness, brain fog and fatigue.
A diet low in toxins and easily digestible foods seems the ideal way to reduce serotonin. A nutritious diet plan with limited liquids and plenty of vitamins and minerals seems essential.
Below are the starters I have gauged that help reduce serotonin. Please help me to fill in the gaps and suggest an ideal diet:
Checklist
[*]Keep metabolism high and keep bowel movements frequent
[*]carrot salad/cascara segrada/ activated charcoal to remove toxins
[*]Keep fibre low
[*]Eat ripe fruit that digests well; i.e remove fruit that causes irritation.
[*]reduce inflammatory amino acids; specifically muscle meats and supplement with glycine/taurine and gelatin
[*]drink coffee to cleanse the liver
[*]Keep carbohydrates moderate, protein and saturated fats (coconut oil and butter) sufficient to aid digestion (40,40,20 macro split)
[*]Reduce PUFAs as much as possible.
If anybody can list a diet plan that has given personal success, it would be hugely appreciated.
