Sleep
Tryptophan - precursor to serotonin (process sleep)
Serotonin = building block for melatonin (hormone) - responsible for sleep wake cycle
Gut - makes the most serotonin
Gut-brain axis
High fiber intake -? longer periods of deep sleep
fiber - feeding the microbes - producing short fatty chain acids - butyrate - serotonin synthesis modulation
Tryptophan rich food + high fiber/complex carbs = food before bedtime
No high in fat and carbs, ultra processed foods
No alcohol, caffeine, sugar
