In this week's episode, Coach Blu and our Athletic Director Marissa deeply dive into the human brain and the hormone that can make addiction recovery challenging. The brain is the most complex organ in the body. This three-pound mass of gray and white matter sits at the center of all human activity—you need it to drive a car, enjoy a meal, breathe, create an artistic masterpiece, and enjoy everyday activities. The brain regulates your body's essential functions, enables you to interpret and respond to everything you experience, and shapes your behavior. In short, your brain is you—everything you think and feel and who you are. Listen as the talk about D.O.S.E. the four chemical we as humans strive for. D is for doapmine. Dopamine is a type of neurotransmitter. Your body makes it, and your nervous system uses it to send messages between nerve cells. That's why it's sometimes called a chemical messenger. Dopamine plays a role in how we feel pleasure. It's a big part of our unique human ability to think and plan. It helps us strive, focus, and find things interesting. O is for oxytocin.  In the brain, oxytocin acts as a chemical messenger and has an important role in many human behaviours including sexual arousal, recognition, trust, romantic attachment and mother–infant bonding. As a result, oxytocin has been called the 'love hormone' or 'cuddle chemical'. S is for serotonin. In the brain, serotonin helps with mood regulation and memory, but it also has important jobs in other parts of the body.  In fact, most of the serotonin in your body is found in your gut, not your brain. The intestines produce almost all of the body's serotonin supply, and serotonin is required to promote healthy digestion. Elsewhere in the body, serotonin helps with sleep, sexual function, bone health, and blood clotting. E is for endorphins. Endorphins are chemicals produced by the body to relieve stress and pain. They work similarly to a class of drugs called opioids. Opioids relieve pain and can produce a feeling of euphoria. They are sometimes prescribed for short-term use after surgery or for pain-relief.

This week on One on One with Coach Blu, we discuss foundations of our new facility and the importance of integrerty. Coach Blu also speaks from the heart concerning the passing of his mother. This is an emotionally raw podcast and offers insight as to how we are shaped as a result of our experances.

Ok so mistakes are going to happen but you need to do your part to get past them. We have thoughts on owning those mistakes to make the best of them.

On this week's podcast, Coach Blu speaks with September Frogley as she discusses the passing of her brother, his battle with addiction and turning the mess of losing a loved one into the message of connecting individuals to find the cure. This is a very powerful discussion and one that should be listened to with loved ones who also struggle or who have people in their lives who they love dearly.   Please join Addict to Athlete’s Patreon support page and help us turn the mess of addiction into the message of sobriety! https://www.patreon.com/addicttoathlete   Please visit our website for more information on Team Addict to Athlete and Addiction Recovery Podcasts. https://www.AddictToAthlete.org
