#175: Serotonin boosting tips for boosted motivation in hard times (replay from episode 59)

To take the healthy steps required for change, we need motivation. And without the feel-good chemicals in our bodies, it makes it damn hard. I truly believe that happiness is central to growth and change in all areas, including finding and maintaining your balanced weight. I mean... if we don't feel good, we don't want to feel our bodies well, we don't have the motivation to exercise and we don't have the grit to take those steps that we SO WANT TO TAKE. Feeling sad, unmotivated and low unfortunatly can keep you stuck in your comfortable ways, and whilst it's SO normal and we all have our bad days, there are certainly ways they we can try to boost our bodies serotinin (feel good chemicals) to help us have more of the better ones. So, this episode is for you if you're looking to boost your happiness in order to make these healthy changes easier. If you're struggling at the moment, please know that you're not alone. I really hope this podcast helps you! I also recap on my walk with some members from the Health with Bec Tribe and the power that came from it!     Links mentioned: Foods mentioned that help boost serotonin (always pair with a source of healthy carbohydrates (eg lots of veggies, some fruit, rice, quinoa or legumes) Cheese Fish Turkey and chicken Beef Pork Tofu Oats Cheese Nuts and seeds Edamame Pumpkin and pumpkin seeds Eggs Supplements Pure tryptophan SAMe (S-adenosyl-L-methionine) 5-HTP Probiotics St John’s Wort     Learn more from me / work with me: Download my FREE eBook with 4 15 minute meals: click here Start your weight loss, gut healing and anti-inflammatory journey now with my 3 Week Body  Reset  Continue your journey and figuring out YOUR own balance in the Health with Bec Tribe  Explore my recipe eBooks: Click here!  Follow me on instagram: @health_with_bec Visit my website: Click here
