In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explore how biological rhythms and neurochemicals impact our perception of time. I describe how the body aligns with daily and seasonal light cycles to regulate hormones that influence energy, mood and motivation throughout the year. I share science-based tools to enhance focus and productivity, including strategies for structuring work intervals and optimizing the timing of exercise and daily light exposure. I also explain how neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin influence our perception of time and how factors such as novelty, emotion and routine impact how we experience and recall time.

Let's be honest: if your kiddos leave a trail of half-finished projects, open browser tabs, and idea explosions in their wake, you are SO not alone. Neurodivergent kids (and their amazing, multitasking moms!) can struggle with seeing things through—not because they're lazy or unmotivated, but because the finish line often feels fuzzy, overwhelming, or just plain boring. In this week's episode, we're unpacking: Why finishing is tough for neurodivergent kiddos, whether it's next-step anxiety, perfectionism, time blindness, or working memory hurdles. The power of “done statements”—specific, clear criteria for what finished actually looks like. (Think: “This is done when you've done 10 math problems with all steps shown” or “Laundry is done when it's in the drawer and the basket is empty.”) Works-in-progress (WIP) limits – One “now” and one “next,” with everything else safely parked and waiting. (Idea overload, be gone!) Quick wins and tiny products: Get something DONE in a day with a postcard summary, a 3-slide deck, or a 60-second voice memo. Saving progress rituals: So nothing gets lost, and future-you can jump right back in—next steps, photos, and all. Keeping motivation up: Dopamine logs, gallery walls, and flexible closure routines—because DONE is more important than PERFECT. Lots of love for all our creative, innovative kids (gifted, 2e, ADHD, autistic, and more). Remember—these strategies are for real families, with real kids, and I promise you, they WORK.   Links and Resources from Today's Episode Thank you to our sponsor: CTC Math – Flexible, affordable math for the whole family!

In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my everyday experience being AuDHD (Autistic and ADHD). I share how trapped I feel in this body, how overwhelmed I am by my own mind, and how masking & giftedness play a role in it all. Discovery resources for you:

Dopamine Hijack: How Screens Miswire Your Brain (and How to Rewire It Back)Have you ever opened your phone to “just check one thing”… and suddenly 45 minutes are gone? That isn't weakness—it's your brain being hijacked. Dopamine, the chemical that drives motivation, gets rewired by screens to chase novelty and notifications instead of real-life rewards. Over time, that leaves you fragmented in focus, drained of motivation, and disconnected from who you really are.The good news? Your brain can change. Neuroplasticity is the same power that miswired you—and it's the same power that can rewire you. By creating screen-free rituals, training your nervous system to calm focus, and redirecting dopamine into purpose, connection, and creativity, you can reset your pleasure pathways and reclaim your motivation.Your brain was never designed for endless scrolling. It was designed for joy, focus, and real intimacy. Don't let screens steal that from you.

In this mind-expanding conversation, psychiatrist and author Daniel Lieberman unpacks the role of dopamine — the brain's molecule of motivation — and how it shapes nearly every aspect of our lives, from love and ambition to addiction and impulsive behavior. Drawing from his bestselling book *The Molecule of More*, Lieberman explains why we're wired to crave what's out of reach and why that craving often leads to restlessness, dissatisfaction, or destructive decisions. He contrasts dopamine's future-focused drive with the chemistry of the present moment, exploring how we mistake infatuation for love, sabotage long-term happiness, and continually chase “more” even when we have enough. Packed with science, stories, and sobering insights, this episode offers a framework for understanding your own behavior and building a more balanced relationship with desire itself. Hosted on Acast.

Michelle starts by naming the experience so many listeners know well: the panicky, out-of-control feeling around “forbidden” foods that seems to prove you're an addict. She traces where that story came from—the early 2000s brain-scan headlines—and why “lights up the reward pathways” doesn't equal addiction (music, hugs, laughter, and puppy greetings light them up, too). From there, she walks through what the evidence does show:Dopamine ≠ addiction: Dopamine is about motivation and learning (“That was satisfying; remember that”), not proof of a hijacked brain. Drug-induced dopamine spikes are extreme and rewiring; food-related responses are moderate and self-limiting.What the rat studies actually found: Binge-like behavior appears when access to sugar is restricted and then reintroduced; with free access, intake levels out. In humans, dieting and moralizing foods replicate this deprivation-binge pattern.Addiction criteria don't fit food: Medical addiction involves tolerance, withdrawal syndromes, persistent use despite harm, and inability to cut down. Systematic reviews report that foods don't meet those criteria. Food is also essential—abstinence-based models don't translate.Michelle then maps the very human reasons it feels like addiction:Restriction & deprivation (physical and mental) create scarcity, obsession, and urgency.Emotional reliance on food as a primary coping tool can look compulsive—but it's coping, not character failure.Learned urgency/“last-supper” eating when a food is allowed only during a “slip.”She also names the harm of the addiction label: added shame, escalation to stricter restriction (which worsens the cycle), and attention pulled away from the real drivers—diet mentality, unmet needs, and nervous-system dysregulation.From there, the episode offers a compassionate, evidence-aligned path forward:Lift the ban with unconditional permission to eat (expect an initial “pendulum swing”; it settles as scarcity fades).Practice food neutrality (take the moral charge out of foods).Pursue satisfaction so you can actually register “enough.”Support your nervous system (capacity first; choice follows).Add coping tools beyond food (connection, creativity, movement, rest).Reframe the story: from “I'm addicted” to “Restriction is making me feel out of control; my body is protecting me.”Stay ConnectedIf this episode helped, follow/subscribe so you don't miss the rest of the series.

Dopamine. Serotonin. Endorphins. We have all heard these terms. And they shape our lives in many ways. From wine and coffee to opioids and party drugs, almost all of us use some chemicals to manipulate our lived experience. Brain chemistry shapes our self-image, too: few are those who have never wondered if their brain chemicals are "just off balance". So how accurate are the popular theories about these mythic molecules? To guide us through the topic, I'm joined by Judy Grisel—an ex-addict and a world-leading neuroscientist of addiction. We will discuss all the main elements of brain chemistry by using drugs and addictions as a window into the chemicals that flavour all of our lives. Towards the end, we also search for ways to better help those who struggle with addiction. As always, we finish with my guest's reflection on humanity.

Today I'm back with Sunnyside podcast host Mike Hardenbrook for a conversation that pops the hood on why willpower isn't enough to change your drinking habits. We talk about what's really happening in your brain and nervous system when you reach for a drink, why your desire to drink has nothing to do with alcohol. Your body craves relief from stress and anxiety and the pressure of everyday life.  You'll walk away with the exact, science-backed shifts I teach my clients that make drinking in moderation a natural side effect of feeling more grounded and at ease. If you've ever wondered why wanting to change doesn't stop you from pouring another drink, this episode will show you how to break the cycle from the inside out. Click here to BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL if you're ready to fully commit to your personal growth and do the work to get emotionally sober. Side effects include an 80 percent reduction in drinking.

Andrea Samadi revisits her 2019 conversation with neuroleadership pioneer Friederike Fabritius to explore practical neuroscience strategies for better productivity, well-being, and workplace happiness. On this episode, we'll learn: ✔ Why only 20% of people feel passionate about their jobs, and what we can do to change that. ✔ How to use neuroscience to reach peak performance or flow with your work. Neuroscientist and neuroleadership pioneer Friederike Fabritius shows us how three simple ingredients—FUN, FEAR, and FOCUS—can help us find flow and peak performance at work. We'll also explore why men and women often respond differently to stress, how to identify your unique neurosignature, and practical ways to design a workplace (and a life) that helps your brain thrive ✔ Learn the three key ingredients for flow—fun, fear (challenge), and focus—how the stress–performance curve affects apathy and burnout. ✔ Why tailoring roles to individual neurosignatures (dopamine, serotonin, testosterone, estrogen) can unlock peak performance. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. For today's Episode 373, we continue our journey into our mind with the next interview review. Just a reminder-this review series began back with Episode 366[i], where in Part 3 we discovered an important lesson: if we don't like our results—or what we see on the outside—we need to shift our mindset and look within. True change always begins on the inside. We moved onto EP 369[ii] we learned how to Rewire our Brain with Dr. Dawson Church and his Bliss Brain Meditations, and then EP 370[iii] with John Medina's Brain Rules, where we reviewed how important this understanding of neuroscience is, especially connected to education, teaching and learning. Next we went deeper into our mind and brain with EP 371 and 72 where we with clinical professor of psychiatry from UCLA's School of Medicine, Dr. Daniel J Siegel and his Mindsight concept, which is the same idea as Theory of Mind, or seeing the mind in another. All of these episodes are helping us to further sharpen of minds and brains, and connect better with others,  for improved productivity and success in our work and personal lives. For today's EP 373, we go back to EP 27[iv], recorded October 2019, with pioneer in neuroleadership, neuroscientist, Friederike Fabritius[v], from Germany. On this episode, we covered her book, The Leading Brain: Neuroscience Hacks to Work Smarter, Better and Happier. Friederike returned again to the podcast, for EP 258[vi] recorded in November 2022 advancing our conversation with her next book, The Brain Friendly Workplace. Both of these interviews covered important tips that I think we should all take into consideration to be happier, and therefore, more productive at work. Going along with our theme-that if we don't like what's going on outside of ourselves, let's dive deeper into understanding how our brain and minds work. Which brings us back to FRIEDERIKE FABRITIUS, MS, is a neuroscientist and pioneer in the field of neuroleadership. She trained at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research and is an alumna of McKinsey & Company (helping organizations to create change).  Friederike delivers brain-based leadership programs to Fortune 500 executives and organizations around the globe to transform how they think, innovate, and navigate change. I'm always looking for productivity tips that we can all use, and it's clear that stress in our workplaces is at an all-time high, globally. We know that “2/3 of people report being stressed at work, to the point they can't sleep at night”[vii]  and in our first clip, Friederike reports that “only 20% of people feel passionate about their jobs” and that “40% of people never experience FLOW in their jobs.” I think there has to be another way to find balance here. VIDEO 1 Click Here to Watch Let's listen to Friederike's clip on: Why FUN, FEAR, and FOCUS Matter for Flow & Peak Performance  “Only 20% of people feel passionate about their jobs. That's insane. And 40% of people never experience FLOW in their jobs. And (she thinks)  it can be that simple. That everyone can be happy at their jobs. All you need are three simple things. (Friederike calls them ) FUN, FEAR, and FOCUS. And it has to do with a certain mix of neurochemicals in our brain. When we are having fun at work (not the after work party kind of fun) where you have fun after the work is done. I'm thinking of having fun related to the task at hand. And when we are having fun, our brains release a neurochemical called dopamine. Dopamine is a real brain booster. It makes you think faster. It helps you to do everything a bit speedier and better, and makes us more creative.”

Your gut isn't just about digestion—it's a powerful command center for your mood, immune health, and even how your brain works. In this episode, Dr. Odell discusses the gut-brain connection and explores how this two-way communication system impacts everything from stress resilience to emotional well-being. He'll uncover the fascinating science of the enteric nervous system (your “second brain”), the vagus nerve superhighway, and the trillions of microbes living inside you that produce neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and GABA. You'll learn how gut health influences inflammation, stress hormones, mental clarity, and mood—and what happens when the gut ecosystem falls out of balance. Most importantly, you'll discover practical, evidence-based strategies to heal from the inside out: from gut-friendly nutrition and probiotics to lifestyle practices that calm both body and mind. If you've ever wondered why bloating, brain fog, anxiety, or low mood might all be connected, this episode will give you the clarity—and the tools—to start shifting your health.

On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, in an unfiltered and deeply human conversation with Christopher Lochhead and Eddie Yoon on their Creator Capitalist Conversation, Monroe Jones traces his journey from the experimental studios of Alabama and Nashville to working alongside icons like U2, Stevie Nicks, and David Crosby. Through stories of uncertainty, obsession, and unlikely breakthroughs, Monroe offers a blueprint for building a life and career powered by authentic passion and “slow dopamine.” If you've ever wondered what it takes to create a meaningful, enduring legacy in the music business, or any creative field, legendary Grammy-winning producer Monroe Jones offers a masterclass in the transformative power of obsession, generosity, and self-forgetfulness. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   The Art of Serendipity: Building a Life Through Obsession and Generosity From the earliest moments of the conversation, it's clear Monroe Jones' career wasn't pursued with a perfect plan, but rather, navigated by an intense pull, what he calls “the disease” of creativity. Growing up in the South, Monroe was steeped in family, tradition, and, crucially, music; a world that intersected unexpectedly with architecture, marketing, and the showmanship of the British pop invasion. By his teens, Monroe was constructing makeshift studios, experimenting with reel-to-reel tape machines, and hustling his way through the yellow pages of Nashville's Music Row. Resourcefulness was his secret weapon. For nearly a decade before his breakthrough, Monroe lived on a writer's stipend, stacking thousands of “unseen reps” in the studio, all the while feeling compelled to create, regardless of circumstance. But perhaps what truly sets Monroe apart is not just the hustle or even the technical prowess, but his commitment to generosity and openness within creative communities. He recounts transformative moments: in dimly lit control rooms at A&M Studios or impromptu sessions with future legends, where serendipity and relationships created leaps of opportunity. “A lot of it is in a Forrest Gump sort of way,” Monroe laughs, describing chance encounters with the likes of Bono and Jimmy Iovine. Yet these “lucky breaks” were only possible because Monroe had prepared meticulously for a decade, learned every piece of new technology, and was always willing to show up for others, both as a collaborator and behind the scenes. “Creativity is freedom for me,” he declares. “If I can make something, boy oh boy. That's it.”   Design, Songwriting, and the Architecture of Lasting Craft One of the most insightful threads running through the conversation is Monroe's unique perspective on the parallels between songwriting, architecture, and marketing. He attributes much of his creative worldview to both his father, a celebrated architect, and a college professor who urged him to pursue his true passion. The insight? Structure underpins all acts of creation, whether building a cathedral or crafting a pop anthem. Monroe sees songs as buildings, each with their own rooms (verses, choruses, bridges) and design principles, a blend of logic, beauty, and flow. This architect's eye carries over to his work with artists at every stage, from the earliest demos to Grammy-caliber productions. Monroe's obsession with “stacking reps”, hours spent learning, iterating, and failing, is the invisible scaffolding behind creative legends. He reflects on years in the studio as both exhilarating and grueling, emphasizing that the foundational investments of time and curiosity yield not just technical mastery, but an enduring inner capital of confidence, relationships, and creative assets.   Slow Dopamine: The Bliss of Self-Forgetfulness and the True Creative Edge Perhaps the richest takeaway from Monroe's journey is hi...

You're surrounded by illusions that feel good now but rob you later, p*** as the illusion of intimacy, video games as the illusion of achievement, processed food as the illusion of nourishment, dating apps as the illusion of choice, doom-scrolling as the illusion of connection, weed as the illusion of peace, alcohol as the illusion of confidence, and gambling as the illusion of success. In this episode, I not only name these traps and reveal how they pacify your drive and blur your path to fulfillment. I'll also show you what to do about them, how to recognize them for what they are, and how to take back control when they show up in your life. I'm not speaking from a pedestal. I spent a decade dependent on Adderall, fell into compulsive online habits, and learned the hard way that comfort isn't the cure. I share my story and the science that helped me rebuild, how turning toward pain, not away from it, forged discipline, resilience, and a more meaningful life.You'll leave with a simple lens: when a craving hits, ask, “What deep, meaningful work am I avoiding right now?” Then we use that signal to take one honest step today. If you're ready to trade sedation for purpose and choose the difficult thing on purpose, press play.Support the show

Do notifications interrupt meals, meetings—even your thoughts? Tired with no hard work to blame? Your attention didn't disappear—it was taken. Dr. Zelana Montminy holds a doctorate in clinical psychology, trained in nutrition at Cornell, wrote 21 Days to Resilience, and advises Fortune 500 companies. She exposes how modern life trains your brain for distraction, and shows you how to take your focus back without more apps, hacks, or guilt. Here's what you'll discover inside this episode: The truth about “phone addiction”: Why you're not addicted to the device—you're addicted to escaping discomfort, and how to break that loop. The 23-minute switch cost: What task-switching really does to your brain and nervous system—and simple monotasking resets that restore clarity. From fight/flight to calm: How pings, tabs, and notifications keep you dysregulated—and practical ways to downshift your physiology fast. Boredom as a superpower: Why doing nothing can be more powerful than meditation for rebuilding attention—and how to practice it daily. Morning priming, fixed: The single habit that hijacks your focus before your feet hit the floor—and a three-minute alternative that protects your day. Rewriting your reward loops: Dopamine, novelty, and cravings—how to design “friction” and set a realistic dopamine budget that sticks. Environment by default: Notification triage, home-screen layout, and workspace cues that make focus automatic (and distraction annoying). Attention training that works: Short, science-backed micro-exercises to lengthen your focus span and reduce the urge to check. Boundaries that hold: Simple scripts to protect dinner, date night, and deep work—without becoming “that person” glued to their phone. Real-world playbooks: The habits Dr. Montminy teaches in companies and schools to restore mental bandwidth—adapted for your life. This isn't more willpower. It's behavioral science meeting practical, humane habits. Walk away with a clear plan to reclaim your focus, calm your nervous system, and feel genuinely rested again. Don't miss this conversation. Join the rebellion against digital distraction and start getting your attention back today. 0:00 - Introduction 2:17 - Rapid Fire Questions 4:29 - The Hidden Truth: We're Addicted to Escaping Being Human 12:10 - Digital Addiction is Actually Escapism Addiction 15:06 - The 23-Minute Rule: Why Task Switching is Exhausting Your Brain 23:49 - The Lost Art of Boredom: Why It's More Powerful Than Meditation 29:26 - Morning Phone Habit 35:36 - Parenting in the Digital Age 49:22 - Practical Strategies: Reclaiming Your Attention Without Apps or Hacks 54:02 - The Power of Micro-Boredom 1:00:00 - Modeling Focus for Kids: What You Do Matters More Than What You Say 1:05:02 - Hope for Phone Addicts

Dr. Rubén Ancona Bolaños is a Metabolic Health Practitioner from Mexico who has been having incredible success using ketogenic therapies to help his patients reclaim their metabolic health! He has a special interest in the interplay between diet, metabolic health, and hormones like dopamine and serotonin.   From this episode…   “One of my hypotheses is that insulin resistance could start at a young age — with dopamine resistance in the brain's reward center.”   “We need to stop seeing the body and the brain as separate—hormones affect the brain, and neurotransmitters affect the body.”   “Kids today are constantly hyper-stimulated, always releasing dopamine, which desensitizes their brain's reward system and raises their threshold for feeling pleasure.”   In this episode, Drs. Tro and Rubén talk about… (00:00) Intro (02:02) How Dr. Rubén first became interested in metabolic health (22:07) How addiction plays into metabolic dysfunction (27:07) How Dr. Rubén helps his patients reclaim their metabolic health (29:05) Dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and insulin resistance (53:39) Gut health and antibiotics (56:47) Dopamine detoxing (01:03:29) Dr. Rubén's clinical approach (01:08:50) How to keep patients motivated For more information, please see the links below.
