so recently I had a question from someone that wanted to know how to get rid of the cravings during the menstrual cycle now they’re on keto too during in a minute fasting so they have no cravings whatsoever until that time of the month and they have terrible cravings what could that be now for those of you that are watching that are not on the key to a plan or intermittent fasting click the link below watch that because chances are that should handle the cravings for good but if you still have cravings despite being on keto and in a minute fasting it usually has to do with low serotonin okay serotonin is a neurotransmitter it’s made in the gut but it’s also made in the brain the location of where it’s made in the brain is in the brainstem the specific location is called the ref I Nikolai and this is involved in the sleep centers as well now it just so happens that in this little location where serotonin is made you also have a lot of estrogen receptors what a coincidence and the estrogen receptors in this location are controlling the amount of tryptophan coming in which is the precursor or the raw material to make serotonin now the most likely reason why you have low serotonin is that you have a low estrogen and there’s not enough estrogen to activate this tryptophan now some of the symptoms with low estrogen are mood swings as in PMS but PMS can also happen when you have high estrogen also headaches also depression decreased libido there’s many more as well now given the assumption that you’re not on a high carb diet chances are you probably don’t have a low blood sugar situation or high insulin but if you are doing carbs then you need to fix this blood sugar situation so if you have this situation low serotonin okay there’s two things you can do you can take l-tryptophan you can get it from the health of store or online and make sure that you take L tryptophan which is the precursor to serotonin make sure you take it on an empty stomach because this molecule is very large and if you take other protein you won’t feel any change because this is not being absorbed so this should always be taken on an empty stomach alright number two you can raise Astra Jim now it typically causes low estrogen in the first place is something else is pushing it down okay it’s going to be either cortisol from stress as an adrenal fatigue or it can be high levels of testosterone or androgens okay and that comes from insulin so we want to lower insulin but if you’re on the keto plan and you’re doing it rid of fasting this should not be a problem so the last thing you can do to increase estrogen is to take flaxseed oil make sure it’s high-quality but this can elevate estrogen to a certain degree alright so I hope that answer the question and I will see you in the next video if you’re liking this content please subscribe now and I will actually keep you updated on future videos
