    About this Episode

    May was Mental Health Awareness month. If you’d like to learn more, be sure to check out our previous blogs about the difference between mental health and mental illness, as well as which neurotransmitters are related to mental health. 

    Do you know that we have natural brain chemicals that affect our mood? 

    In our last blog, we discussed three common neurotransmitters involved in mental health: serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine as well as how they work. 

    This week, let’s take a closer look at natural foods and supplements that can support each of these key neurotransmitters. And, as we wrap up our series on mental health this week, let’s take a closer look at what actionable steps you can take today to boost your mental health.
