To Virginia re: Serotonin & Carbs From: stedgar (anonymous@obgyn.net) Thu, 21 Jun 2001 23:20:35 -0700 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Virginia: "Re: I am confused about what to do next???" Previous message: Natasja: "I am confused about what to do next???" Hi Virginia :-) ~~Also that the body craves carbs when the serotin levels are low - are serotin levels connected to PCOS in any way?~~ In "The Schwarzbein Principle" Dr. Schwarzbein (Endo) explains that carb binges induce your brain to produce Serotonin; hence most 'Comfort foods' are carb's. And because we aren't eating enough protein, natural fats and natural cholesterol (hormonal building blocks), our bodies cannot replace the Serotonin naturally; hence depletion and depression. Blood sugar and insulin imbalances also lead to other hormones over-compensating to find a balance, and that leads to Serotonin shortages, Thyroid & Adrenal strain...
