What are happy hormones and why should we care about them
Hormones are chemicals that regulate bodily functions by telling cells what to do.
Happy hormones, or “feel good” neurotransmitters, including Serotonin, Oxytocin, Endorphins and Dopamine. These mood-regulating substances affect everything from your appetite to your ability to feel pleasure -or pain! Happy hormones help you maintain a healthy weight because they decrease the desire for sugar and increases feelings of happiness.
When happy hormones are out of balance it can lead to mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, OCD and addiction problems; all on top of increased physical problems like hormonal imbalances in women during menopause symptoms including hot flashes!
We should be interested in our clients’ happy hormones because if we don’t take care of them now there will be issues in the later years.
