Hypothyroidism is a very common cause of increased serotonin (e.g. Henley, et al., 1998), and it the thyroid hormone is supplemented until symptoms are resolved, it’s likely that the serotonin will have been normalized. -Ray Peat, PhD Hypothyroidism increases the formation of serotonin, as does cortisol (Henley, et al., 1997, 1998; Neckers and Sze, 1976).

Energy production and resting body temperature regulate many functions. Ample energy is required to relax fully and sleep deeply. The key to quality sleep is high energy metabolism and maintaining optimal body temperature (98-98.6F). Children sleep well because of their ability to maintain a high body temperature and produce energy and carbon dioxide. The combination [...]

The low carbon dioxide production of hypothyroidism (e.g., Lee and Levine, 1999), and the respiratory alkalosis of estrogen excess, are often overlooked. An adequate supply of calcium, and sometimes supplementation of salt and baking soda, can increase the tissue content of CO2. -Ray Peat, PhD Can J Anaesth. 1999 Feb;46(2):185-9.
