E115: Protein, Sunshine & The Chemistry of Happiness
Description
What if your mood struggles weren’t just in your head—but in your gut, your diet, and even your sun exposure?
In today’s episode of The Happiest Lives Podcast, I’m joined by Christian nutritionist Chelsea Blackbird as we continue our Hormones, Happiness, and the Holy Spirit series. We’re diving into the body-lifestyle-mood connection—how things like amino acids, protein, and sunlight directly impact your neurotransmitters, hormones, and overall well-being.
You’ll learn:
- Why your first meal of the day is crucial for your mood
- The surprising role sunshine plays in your brain chemistry
- What amino acids are—and why you can’t make neurotransmitters without them
- The overlooked foundation to feeling better in your body, mind, and spirit
Whether you’re curious about how faith and food intersect, or you’ve just been feeling off and can’t figure out why—this episode is a must-listen.
