As the days get darker earlier… have you noticed your mood shifting too?
It’s not your imagination — shorter daylight hours can actually affect the brain’s chemistry. When light exposure drops, so does serotonin and melatonin balance — the very neurotransmitters that impact mood, sleep, and motivation.
But here’s the truth 👉 it’s not just in your head.
Your neurotransmitters are deeply connected to your gut, hormones, and minerals.
A few key players:
🧠 Serotonin → mood + sleep (and 90% is made in your gut!)
⚡ Dopamine → focus, motivation, drive
🌿 GABA → calm and relaxation
🌙 Melatonin → sleep rhythm, made from serotonin
When these fall out of balance, you might feel:
😣 More anxious or restless
😔 Low motivation or sadness
😴 Trouble falling asleep or waking up groggy
This time of year can reveal imbalances that were already brewing beneath the surface. That’s why I love functional testing—it helps uncover what’s really driving those mood shifts (think gut health, hormones, and mineral patterns).
✨ Your body is talking—you just have to learn how to listen.
