[Ep. 276] How Protein Affects Your Mood
Manage episode 492372928 series 2877633
On today's episode, Luis discusses protein: how it affects mood, the nervous system, and the brain, and why it's so important to understand.
Proteins are a combination of amino acids, and dopamine and serotonin rely on them. Refined foods can temporarily fill the dopamine need caused by low amino acid intake, but ensuring you have enough protein is necessary for sustained balance. And sometimes the body's need for protein can change, depending on life circumstances.
Luis talks about both plant and animal protein, and some ideas to ensure you're receiving enough amino acids regardless of your dietary choices.
