New Year, New You is a bit outdated, but in January many of us are looking for ways to improve our lives—whether it’s forming healthier habits, becoming more focused, or simply feeling happier. But how often do we think about how our brain chemistry plays into all this? Today, we’re joined by neuroscientist, international speaker, and author of The DOSE Effect, TJ Power. His work focuses on small, practical habits that can help us regulate our brain's key chemicals: dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins.

Today we chat about:

• How the modern world affects our brain chemistry.

• Quick fix and crash dopamine - porn, sugar,  social media, alcohol.

• Why we hate being bored and why boredom is good for us.

• The new 5 minute morning routine that will change the rest of your day.

• How different types of communication affects oxytocin - texting = 0, calling = some. 

• How porn is affecting our brains and our relationships.

• Whether we have control over our willpower or not.

• Kids and entertainment vs boredom
