You finally committed to following a clean, whole-foods-based diet. You’re working on your gut health like everyone says you should. You picked up the detox-friendly food list, cleared your pantry of anything ending in -itos or -oodles, and stocked up on probiotic-rich foods and gut-repairing supplements. You start your day like a health optimization champ: a protein-forward breakfast, a glass of lemon water, your full stack of supplements—and of course, a hefty scoop of L-glutamine because...

You know the feeling. You start the day with great intentions—get stuff done, stay focused, be productive.

And that’s where the problem starts. Because while prescription and over-the-counter sleep aids seem like an easy fix, they...

I was chatting with someone recently about SSRIs. She knew they had some serious side effects, which led us into answering an obvious next question: "How can I increase serotonin naturally without taking an SSRI?" And it’s a great question—because while SSRIs (like Prozac and Zoloft) are handed out like candy, they come with downsides most people aren’t told about. They don’t actually increase serotonin production; they just recycle what’s already there. Over time, they can deplete dopamine...
