Dr. Ann Marie Barter is a functional medical practitioner in Colorado, she has two offices in Longmont and in Denver. She has practiced functional medicine for 12 years and she is the host of The Gut Health Reset Podcast. We start off talking about neurotransmitters, which are the chemical messengers in the body and their job is to transmit signals from nerve cells to target cells. The brain needs neurotransmitters to regulate many necessary functions throughout the body. We talk about mold and the negative effects it has on our neurotransmitters, which can affect multiple aspects of our health in areas many wouldn’t think. We talk about Serotonin and dopamine, the foods that will help us obtain these hormones as well as the ones that may inhibit them, and how exercise can affect it. Dr. Barter reveals that meditation can increase dopamine levels by up to 65%.

“They kept on increasing it. They started with I think it was 37 milliliters of solution all the way up to 115 to maintain the same dopamine levels. So what used to work as maybe a piece of chocolate is now 10 doughnuts.” 19:41
