Behavioral steps, nutritional approaches, and supplementation can converge on the serotonin pathway to treat depression.

“We also talked about exercise and how EPA and exercise on a regular basis can offset these inflammatory pathways.”

“So you've got multiple steps here. We're describing two tools, increasing EPA and regular exercise as a way of increasing serotonin, somewhat indirectly, right? It's by limiting this bad pathway to promote the activity of a good pathway.”

“From the data that are published in quality peer review journals, it really appears that this inflammation pathway does function to increase depression through these pathways. And so, knowing that there are behavioral steps and supplementation-based steps, or if you prefer, getting your EPAs from typical food, from nutritional approaches, I find that very reassuring that the mechanisms all converge on a common pathway, serotonin.”
