2. The Best Natural Mood Enhancer
One out of every six Americans are taking
antidepressants. That is a shockingly sad
statistic. Even worse, millions of others are
probably considering taking them to relieve
their pain.
3. And, for many reasons, doctors are too quick to whip
out the prescription pad.
The good news: there are many natural mood
enhancers that are available to everyone. And they can
be enormously effective – without the well-
documented side effects of prescription medications.
4. The first thing to remember is that negative emotions
are your body’s way of telling you that you need to
change things up.
Don’t Blame Yourself – It’s Complicated
You have billions of cells and trillions of
microorganisms in your body – all working to keep
you vital and healthy. You can certainly expect to have
imbalances. And even a tiny glitch can throw you out
of whack.
5. Then add:
● Stress
● Poor Sleep
● Poor Diet
● Self blame
● Alcohol
● Drugs
● Negativity
● Aging
● Out of balance gut
bacteria
● Hormonal Changes
● Toxins
● Lack of Sunshine
All these things can cause long-term changes in your
body chemistry – for the worse.

7. Serotonin
For most people, the imbalance is
a low level of serotonin.
Here are some imbalances that may be affecting
your life:
8. A lack of serotonin is associated with emotional
problems – especially depression and anxiety.
Serotonin is the “Happiness Molecule“. It is a
neurotransmitter, and it enables the neurons in your
brain to communicate efficiently. It’s the stuff that
fires up your brain.
And when your brain fires up properly, you feel happy.

9. Hormones
You have many hormones in your body that are constantly changing
levels in order to meet your needs throughout the day – estrogen,
testosterone, cortisol, adrenaline – and dozens more. They compete
with one another according to the stress and activities you are going
through. Cortisol is the main culprit for anxiety. It is the “fight or
flight” hormone. And in our modern life it is usually activated by non-
life-threatening events. It’s essential to get a reasonable hormonal
balance in order to have positive, stable moods.
10. You have 1 00 TRILLION microorganisms inside our
body. That’s 1 0 times the number of your own cells.
Researchers are finding out that they effect almost
every aspect of our biology – immunity, stamina,
digestion, metabolism. They even communicate with
our brains and change our emotions. It’s actually a bit
startling.

11. So with these possible causes in mind, let’s try to improve
your body chemistry and your mood in a more holistic way
with these 1 5 natural mood enhancers. Each one addresses
one or more possible causes of emotional instability.
Remember – when you try any of these, you are taking
positive action and you should allow yourself to feel a sense
of accomplishment. Make an earnest effort to apply each
one to your life. Be reflective and make note of ANY
improvements you might feel. That will start a positive
feedback loop that can change your life.
28. The important thing is to take action (even if you don’t
feel like it). You have to gather up your willpower and
make a decision and truly commit to your emotional
well being.
The easiest natural mood enhancers to start with are
supplements and food. That should make you feel
better so you have motivation to go further and get
those moods under control. Then you will be able to
move on to things like exercise and meditation. Also,
remember that happiness is not a goal per se. It is a
state of being. Don’t strive for it. It is a result or
outcome of your lifestyle and choices. Your body uses
emotions to guide you along. Happiness is an
indication that you are on the right path. Follow that
guide.
