Mental Health Awareness Part 3 SSRIs (Improve your diet to make neurotransmitters)

🧠 Supporting your brain mental health with food & SSRIs?
Millions of people take SSRIs (like Zoloft, Prozac, Lexapro) to manage anxiety and depression.

But are you supporting your brain with what it really needs to heal?
Here’s the truth👇
🚨 How SSRIs Work:
SSRIs don’t make serotonin, they just recycle it, keeping it in your brain longer.

But what if you’re not making enough serotonin to begin with?
That’s where your diet comes in.
🥦 Why Food Matters?
🧬 Serotonin is made from tryptophan, an amino acid building block with plenty found in animal-sourced protein
⚡ You also need vitamin B6, magnesium, iron, zinc, and omega-3s
🍔 Processed fast food, high sugar, and seed oils cause inflammation that affects serotonin production
🧠 A depleted brain can’t recover, even with meds
💡 SSRIs might help you feel stable.
But a nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory diet is what helps give your brain energy and creates neurotransmitters for normal function.

🛠️ Support your neurotransmitters
🥩 Prioritize animal protein
🥬 Eat leafy greens
