Loretta Breuning: How to Break Bad Habits with Brain Science


Listen Later

Do you have any bad habits? Why is it that sometimes we find ourselves repeating undesirable behaviors despite our best attempts to change?

Well, in an age when our communication has been degraded to typing with our thumbs and screaming into silly smart devices, human relationships it seems, are suddenly in jeopardy.

So how can we turn down our anxiety, reprogram our brains and work with our brain chemistry to create the positive changes we actually want in our lives?

If you've ever been derailed by your inner monkey or dealt with existential angst, this show is for you.

Returning to the podcast today is one of my favorite people to talk to, Loretta Breuning, PhD. She's a professor, best-selling author, host of the Happy Brain Podcast and founder of The Inner Mammal Institute.

In today's show, Dr. Breuning is sharing critical insight into how we can rewire our brains and boost serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin levels. We're talking about…

  • How to work WITH your happy brain chemicals (instead of against them)
  • What to do about existential angst—all the rage these days.
  • Simple tricks to retrain your brain to create new habits or skills
  • How to avoid reverting to bonds that were built by institutions
  • Making peace with your mammal brain with small daily contributions
  • And tons, tons more...
