Power Hour

Today Dr. Emilia Vuorisalmi (@docemilia) shares her journey from struggling with her own health issues to becoming an advocate for holistic health and hormonal balance. She discusses the importance of understanding hormones, particularly dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin, and how they impact our motivation, connection, and overall well-being, emphasising the need for self-awareness, the power of love and connection, and the role of nutrition in maintaining hormonal health.

In The Healing Power of Hormones, Dr Emilia Vuorisalmi shares her own journey from burnout, love addiction and heartbreak back to full vitality. With practical tools, she empowers you to understand your hormones and begin a transformative inner journey towards lasting health and balance.

If you're feeling stuck, dopamine is the molecule of drive. It motivates us to seek out pleasurable experiences, increases focus and attention and affects our overall well-being. Emilia provides clear, science-based tips to boost your dopamine levels and maintain a sustainable balance naturally.

Overwhelmed with stress? Nurture your serotonin levels to restore happiness and calm. Emilia helps you understand serotonin's role as the molecule of safety, showing you how you can strengthen your serotonin system by facing your fears, releasing limiting beliefs and setting healthy boundaries.

If you're feeling lonely, oxytocin is the molecule of connection. It is intimately tied to our physical and emotional bonds, and following Emilia's guidance will help you create a sense of calm and trust.

Begin your inner healing journey now. The Healing Power of Hormones will help you uncover your most authentic self and long-lasting well-being.

Today Adrienne is joined by Ali Abdaal (@aliabdaal) - doctor, entrepreneur, amateur magician, and the world's most-followed productivity expert. 

Ali became intrigued by the science of productivity while juggling the demands of medical training at Cambridge University and building his business on the side. While working as a doctor in the UK's National Health Service, Ali started to document his journey towards living a healthier, happier, more productive life on his YouTube channel and other social media platforms. To date, Ali’s evidence-based videos, podcasts and articles sharing insights into the human mind, have reached hundreds of millions of people all around the world. 

We think that productivity is all about hard work. That the road to success is lined with endless frustration and toil. But what if there's another way? Dr Ali Abdaal has uncovered an easier, happier path to success. Drawing on decades of psychological research, he has found that the secret to productivity and success isn't grind - it's feeling good. If you can make your work feel good, then productivity takes care of itself.

In his revolutionary book, Feel Good Productivity: How to Do More of What Matters to You, Ali reveals how the science of feel-good productivity can transform your life. He introduces the three hidden 'energisers' that underpin enjoyable productivity, the three 'blockers' we must overcome to beat procrastination, and the three 'sustainers' that prevent burnout and help us achieve lasting fulfilment. He recounts the inspiring stories of founders, Olympians, and Nobel-winning scientists who embody the principles of Feel-Good Productivity.
