Here are some of things we talked about in today’s show:&nbsp;
·&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Dopamine is essential for survival and motivation.
·&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Modern access to dopamine has led to imbalances affecting mental health.
·&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Oxytocin is not just about touch; self-love is crucial.
·&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Inner dialogue can significantly impact our emotional state.
·&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Nature exposure is vital for serotonin production.
·&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Underthinking can be beneficial for mental clarity.
·&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Practical habits can help manage brain chemistry effectively. Overthinking can lead to a massive fear response in the nervous system.
·&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Physical exertion is crucial for releasing stress and endorphins.
·&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Endorphins are released during intense physical activity, not just light exercise.
·&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Eliminating addictive substances may be necessary for some individuals.
·&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Controlling the pleasure-pain balance&nbsp;
·&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The six main causes of low dopamine – sugary foods, alcohol drugs and vaping, porn, social media, gambling, online shopping&nbsp;
