GABA – neurotransmitter that allows us to feel calm rather than anxious, panicked & unable to sleep – GABA functioning is compromised by alcohol, chronic stress, poor nutrition, & chronic benzo use, and when we’re missing certain beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract.
Melatonin – supports immunity and restful sleep – suppressed with light exposure after sunset (think: screens)
Vitamin D – hormone necessary for immune function, mental health, hormone balance, bone density, healthy weight, decreased risk of autoimmune disease & cancer, and basically everything else – we make it when the sun hits our skin, which doesn’t happen all that often in modern/indoor/quarantined/sunblocked life.
