[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.

I used to hate cooking because I thought it was too much work and it took too much time. If you are trying to loose weight or become healthier I highly suggest cooking your own meals.

Breakfast: Chocolate Peanut butter Protein Waffles

1/2 oat flour
1 tbsp of choc protein
1 tbsp of powdered peanut butter
1 tsp + 1/4 tsp of baking powder
1 tbsp coconut sugar
1/2 cup + 1 tbsp coconut milk
Walnuts
Peanut butter
Lite Syrup
Pumpkin seeds

Method:

1. Grease your waffle maker and pre-heat it.
2. Grab a bowl to put your dry ingredients in.
3. Add 1/2 of oat flour, 1 tbsp of any chocolate protein powder (I used the Kashi Go Lean Chocolate Protein Powder — https://www.kashi.com/our-foods/powders/golean-plant-powered-shakes-dark-cocoa-power ), 1 tbsp of powdered peanut butter, 1 tsp + 1/4 tsp of baking powder, and 1 tbsp of coconut sugar.
4. Mix the dry ingredients together.
5. Add 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp of coconut milk. ( If you don’t have powdered peanut butter then this is when you mix in regular peanut butter. Your batter might be thicker than mine, but thats okay.)
6. Mix all together (mix well).
7. Once your waffle maker is heated up put the batter onto the waffle maker (with mine I just had to pour it in).
8. I left my waffles cooking for 5-8 minutes, but your time may variety depending on your waffle maker.
9. Take out the waffle and apply toppings. I used 100% peanut butter, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and lite syrup.

Lunch:

Papaya
Mango
Plum
Nectarine
Apricot

Method:

1. Cut up all the fruit you want and enjoy.

Dinner: Gluten-free pasta with pesto sauce

Gluten-free pasta
3 bunches of Spinach
2 Avocados
Walnuts
Cumin or garlic
Lemon juice
Water

Method:

1. Start cooking gluten-free pasta
2. While the pasta is cooking, throw 3 bunches of spinach, 2 avocados, walnuts, cumin (or garlic), lemon juice, and water ( don’t use a lot of water because you want it to be somewhat thick) in a blender and pulse it until it becomes a sauce-like texture.
3. Drain the pasta.
4. Mix the pasta with the pesto sauce.
5. Add basil or whatever toppings you’d like.
