[What is 5-HTP]

5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) is a chemical by-product of the protein building block L-tryptophan. It is also produced commercially from the seeds of an African plant known as Griffonia simplicifolia 5-HTP is used for sleep disorders such as insomnia, depression, anxiety, migraine and tension-type headaches, fibromyalgia, obesity, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), seizure disorder, and Parkinson’s disease.

 [How does it work?]

5-HTP works in the brain and central nervous system by increasing the production of the chemical serotonin. Serotonin can affect sleep, appetite, temperature, sexual behavior, and pain sensation. Since 5-HTP increases the synthesis of serotonin, it is used for several diseases where serotonin is believed to play an important role including depression, insomnia, obesity, and many other conditions.

[Function]

Depression. Some clinical research shows that taking 5-HTP by mouth improve symptoms of depression in some people. Some clinical research shows that taking 5-HTP by mouth might be as beneficial as certain prescription antidepressant drugs for improving depression symptoms. In most studies, 150-800 mg daily of 5-HTP was taken. In some cases, higher doses have been used.

Down syndrome. Some research shows that giving 5-HTP to infants with Down syndrome might improve muscle and activity. Other research shows that it does not improve muscle or development when taken from infancy until 3-4 years of age. Research also shows that taking 5-HTP along with conventional prescription drugs does improve development, social skills, or language skills.

Anxiety 5-HTP was found to be protective against carbon dioxide-induced panic attacks. One study compared 5-HTP and the prescription medication clomipramine for anxiety. Clomipramine is a tricyclic antidepressant used for treating obsessive-compulsive disorder. 5-HTP was found to be somewhat effective in reducing anxiety symptoms, but not as effective as clomipramine.

Sleep 5-HTP supplements fared a little better for insomnia.5-HTP decreased the time required to get to sleep and decreased the number of nighttime awakenings. Taking 5-HTP along with GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), a relaxing neurotransmitter, reduced the time it took to fall asleep and increased the duration and quality of sleep. One study found that children with night terrors benefited from 5-HTP.

Gingerbread Cookies, Gingerbread Men or Women Cookies. Whatever you call them this is a healthy great treat for the entire family that you can literally eat for breakfast. Get the full recipe at https://www.pancakewarriors.com/pumpkin-gingerbread-cookies/

Hi today we are going to quickly make our pumpkin gingerbread cookies. These are gluten free, vegan, and paleo I really hope you enjoy this recipe. I’m going to start with the pumpkin puree and coconut milk, its unsweetened coconut milk. This is pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie. I do try to use organic with this, this is 2/3 of a cup pumpkin puree and a 1/4 of a cup of coconut milk. I’m going to quickly combine those into this mixture I’m going to add two tablespoons of chia. The chia seed act like the eggs in this recipe. They hold everything together, they’re also a great source of fiber and will keep you full. I just ate some of these cookies and I’m so full now. The chia seeds easily mix in and it will start to get thick because the chia starts absorbing the liquid from the recipe and they will expand. Next, I’m going to add organic molasses. The molasses is what gives the recipe its flavor. We’ll add 2 tablespoons of molasses, it’s really thick. It’s a sweetener that’s filled with tons of vitamins and nutrients, iron, magnesium and potassium. It’s great for electrolytes rebalancing. I try to add as much molasses as I can to our sweet treats this time of year. Don’t worry if you don’t get it all off your spoon. I’m just going to blend that in. To this I’m going to add 1 tablespoons of minced ginger. I buy the organic kind that’s already minced. You can just get your own ginger root and shave it down if you want. To me it’s worth the extra dollar to already have it done. I’m going to let the chia seeds sit for a second while I measure out the rest of the ingredients. I always let the chia seeds do their thing before I add an oil to the recipe. Add 2 tablespoons of organic coconut oil. The coconut oil and the molasses are two of the ingredients you really can’t leave out of this recipe. It helps the dough bind and get hard and lets you roll it out. I’m going to add a 1/4 cup of almond meal (flour) and 2 tablespoons of coconut flour. I will tell you that I’ve heard that different brands of coconut flour acts differently so just so you know. Here is where a lot of the protein comes in and I save a lot of calories. Instead of adding a bunch of flour, I use protein powder. It sweetens the dish so I don’t have to add any extra stevia but also these calories are protein packed which makes this a much healthier alternative to your normal cookie recipe. The recipe as it’s written right now, I would eat it for breakfast. It’s healthy and super filling, and who doesn’t want cookies for breakfast. You’ll see that the mixture is a little bit thick which is fine. You want it to not be very runny. It needs to come together like a dough. I’m going to add the rest of the spices and baking powder. Ginger, 1 teaspoon. If you do more it may be a bit spicier which is okay if that’s your preference. A full 1 tablespoon of cinnamon because I love cinnamon. 1 teaspoon of organic vanilla extract. Finally, adding baking soda and baking powder. While baking powder and this dish are naturally gluten free the corn starch in baking powder can act like gluten so if you have a gluten sensitivity make sure you use certified gluten free baking powder. You can see the mixture is kind of clumpy. My test is to always grab some of it and smush it together. If it stays together in a clump you’re in good shape! If it’s falling apart, add a tablespoon of milk or two. Put the dough in the fridge to chill for 20-30 minutes.

Once you take the dough out of the fridge use a piece of parchment paper and wax paper to roll out the dough. The dough should stick together. I ended up checking and adding 2 tablespoons of milk to make sure it sticks together instead of cracking apart. Clump the dough on the parchment paper and push it down to start it. Cover it with wax paper and use a roller to spread it out. Get the dough flat, pushing from the center out. Depending on your cookie preference depends on how thin or thick you want the cookie. Be careful at the end so it doesn’t get too thin and try to keep a thickness consistency across the dough. The white spots in the cookie dough is the coconut oil and that’s perfectly fine. Use your gingerbread man cookie cutter on cut out your gingerbread men and place on a cookie sheet that has parchment paper sprayed with cooking spray.

Enjoy your gingerbread cookies!
