Sunlight stimulates the production of cortisol & serotonin, while dimness & darkness promote melatonin production. As with all hormone function, cortisol, serotonin, & melatonin work in concert with each other to regulate circadian rhythms #fxmed #hormones ow.ly/5orm30mdW9r
Experiencing new things and allowing the brain to wonder produces physiological changes that reduce stress if we look at them the right way. Don’t let new experiences cause you anxiety or stress, embrace them instead. #fxmed #health #functionalmedicine ow.ly/cDsu30mdVGU
