High-dose Melatonin Improves Mood and Quality of Life
Vitality101 Newsletter
Hello Reader,
Although long known to be helpful for sleep, lately I've been recommending higher doses of melatonin because of its numerous other benefits. I personally take Melatonin EP120™ 10 MG sustained-release melatonin each night, and 10mg is the dose I now recommend. Not only does it help sleep, but it also seems to improve autonomic function, with an associated decrease in nighttime acid reflux. This benefit has also demonstrated in a number of studies.
Now another study shows that the higher 10-15 mg melatonin dose also improves mood, quality-of-life, and even helpfully balances cortisol levels in those with fatigue, insomnia, brain fog, and widespread discomfort.

Babies Dig Grooving to the Beat
A study of babies listening to music showed that watching a live performance was more engaging than a tape, and when an audience was present, the heartbeats of babies in the audience tended to synchronize. I sense a similar synchronization when I lecture, where individuals in my audience become a unified group, with a group energy flowing back and forth between us all.
I really think we are all 'One.'
