#524: Neuroscientist TJ Power on The Dose Effect (Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, Endorphins) and Small Habits To Boost Your Brain Chemistry!


Listen Later

TJ is a neuroscientist at DOSE Lab and the author of the Sunday Times Best Seller The Dose Effect – Small Habits To Boost Your Brain Chemistry! 

DOSE is an acronym for the four key chemicals that live within our brain and body: Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin and Endorphins.

 Drawing on cutting-edge science, Power explores how biohacking your brain can not only enhance cognitive performance but also improve the aspects of your life that ultimately control a happier, healthier, and more productive lifestyle.

Tj is an internationally respected neuroscience educator and a go-to authority for unlocking human potential in the digital age.

Here are some of things we talked about in today’s show: 

·      Dopamine is essential for survival and motivation.

·      Modern access to dopamine has led to imbalances affecting mental health.

·      Oxytocin is not just about touch; self-love is crucial.

·      Inner dialogue can significantly impact our emotional state.

·      Nature exposure is vital for serotonin production.

·      Underthinking can be beneficial for mental clarity.

·      Practical habits can help manage brain chemistry effectively. Overthinking can lead to a massive fear response in the nervous system.

·      Physical exertion is crucial for releasing stress and endorphins.

·      Endorphins are released during intense physical activity, not just light exercise.

·      Eliminating addictive substances may be necessary for some individuals.

·      Controlling the pleasure-pain balance 

·      The six main causes of low dopamine – sugary foods, alcohol drugs and vaping, porn, social media, gambling, online shopping
