Show Notes
Today in Episode 88 I share some scientific evidence on a listener request, Melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland in our brain from serotonin. Melatonin production is inhibited in bright light and is highest during the night at dark. It is an important hormone involved in sleep onset and sleep quality. Some individuals are at risk for low melatonin levels. Can supplemental melatonin or dietary sources be safe and effective? Tune in for all those important details!
