Do You F*cking Mind?

Your brain does what you teach it to do – so I'm going to take you through the neuroscience of willpower, and how to get yourself doing tough tasks. And I don't just mean running a marathon, it could even just be unlearning habits that aren't helping you life your best life. Let's get into it.

Let’s get into HEAD NOISE where I answer your questions about life, love, friendship, and all the fun messy things that make being alive so lit.

• My partner isn't toxic, but I don’t feel like we’re the right people for each other any more. We can barely communicate properly to each other, he doesn’t meet my needs, and I feel like we just don’t love each other any more.  Am I just stuck in a rut, or should I call it quits?
• I'm a self-described “hopeless dreamer”. I grew up admiring Youtubers and content creators and their unconventional lives. I feel like living a conventional life is just not fulfilling me – but is this FOMO? Should I follow my heart and intuition that my life is a bit ordinary and do something out of the box, or am I deluding myself.

In this episode I'm diving into the brain fact of endorphins – and taking a look at the impact endorphins from physical exercise can have on neuronal development in the brain.  Plus, just how EPIC the runners high is. If this doesn’t convince you to raise your heart rate once a day I honestly don't know what will!

In part 2 of my Neuroscience episodes about antidepressants I’m diving into the Glutamate Hypothesis.

I chat about the role of the glutamatergic system within the brain in helping us to better understand why some people don’t respond well to the first line of treatments, such as SSRIs.

I’m also diving into treatment resistant depression, electro convulsive therapy (ECT) neuroplasticity and transcranial magnetic stimulation.
