Podcasts about Dopamine

What if your hormone imbalance is not just a hormone problem, but a nervous system and emotional overload problem?  In this episode of The Ben Azadi Show, Ben Azadi welcomes back Dr. Sonya Jensen to explore why so many women feel puffy, inflamed, exhausted, and hormonally off even when labs look “normal.” Dr. Jensen connects inflammation, cortisol, progesterone depletion, estrogen dominance, and liver support with the deeper layers most people miss: stress patterns, identity roles, generational stories, and the constant input from news and social media. They also dive into her new book, Heal Your Hormones, Reclaim Yourself, plus practical tools like breathwork, red light, seasonal whole foods, and gentle nervous system regulation. Key Topics Covered Why hormone symptoms can reflect emotional and relational overload Nervous system dysregulation, cortisol, adrenaline, and progesterone depletion How chronic stress can create a bigger estrogen to progesterone imbalance Why blood work can look normal while you still feel off Urine hormone metabolite testing and what it can reveal about detox pathways Breathwork for lowering cortisol and shifting into rest at night Red light as a nervous system tool, especially in the evening Liver support for inflammation and hormone clearance (milk thistle, turmeric) Calming herbs: ashwagandha, lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), skullcap, ziziphus Whole foods and seasonal eating, including “the season of life” concept Movement without overtraining, including walking and habit stacking HRV as a helpful metric, plus the importance of listening to your body How doom scrolling impacts dopamine, oxytocin, and your sense of safety Mitochondria, maternal stress patterns, and inherited nervous system wiring Dopamine as motivation and joy, and oxytocin as bonding and connection Resources Mentioned Dr. Sonya Jensen Website: https://www.drsonyajensen.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsonyajensen/?hl=en Book Heal Your Hormones, Reclaim Yourself: https://healyourhormonesbook.com Follow Ben Azadi

In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston welcomes back Dr. Warren Lesser from Magna Pharmaceuticals to dive deep into the science behind the "winter blues" and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). They explore why many people experience a "bummer and dumber" effect during the darker months, as reduced sunlight affects not only our mood but also our processing speed, memory, and cognitive function. The conversation highlights the critical role of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, and how a deficiency in L-methylfolate (B9) and B12 can hinder the body's ability to produce these "feel-good" chemicals. Dr. Lesser explains why traditional antidepressants often fail if the body lacks the necessary nutritional substrates to make them work. They also discuss how the De Novo Plus B12 supplement provides the high-dose, bioavailable nutrients needed to cross the blood-brain barrier and support mental health, energy, and overall longevity.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Grief, regret, loneliness, inflammation, pain. There are deeper layers than we are even aware of. Dana was a family physician who had managed gut issues for years. Constipation. Bloating. Acid reflux. She had every tool available to her. She rotated medications, over-the-counter laxatives, and antacids. She pushed through. Then one brave question changed everything. I asked her: what happened that should not have happened? Her posture collapsed. The tears came. And she made the connection — that was when my gut issues started. This is the biology behind what so many of us carry without knowing it. In the main episode this week, we explored how grief and gut health are connected. Now I'm taking you deeper into what's actually happening in your body when grief goes unrecognized — and the three types of grief that are hardest to name. In this episode you'll hear more about: 00:00 Grief, Regret & Going Gently: Setting the Tone 00:33 Check-In: Where Are You With Grief Right Now? 01:07 Prepare Your Support Tools (So You Don't Go Into Overwhelm) 01:51 Dana's Story: When “Managing Symptoms” Isn't Healing 04:21 The Brave Question: “What Happened That Shouldn't Have Happened?” 05:03 When the Body Connects the Dots: Stored Grief & the Gut 07:33 The 3 Hardest Types of Grief: Absent, Attachment & Heart Shock 09:01 Grief Isn't Stress: A Whole-Body Trauma Response 10:00 Guided Body Awareness: Hand on Heart, Hand on Gut 12:44 Stomach Support Practice + Closing Message to Your Belly 13:21 Wrap-Up: Completing the Session Grief is more than an emotion. It is a whole-body response. It creates overwhelm in a way that stress does not. When grief is stored, the gut holds it. The posture holds it. The throat holds it. Dana didn't just need to grieve what happened. She needed to grieve the silence, the years of self-blame, and the cost to her health she hadn't seen. Most of us carry grief we haven't named yet.

The episode of Black Dragon Biker TV you're gearing up for mixes international youth gang drama, a heartfelt veteran tribute, and the real-world toll of social media creation—timely topics for raw discussion. Here's a breakdown with the latest details (as of February 20, 2026) to frame your show.Tokyo Mass Brawl & Teen ArrestsIncident: On February 19–20, 2025, a large-scale fight broke out in a housing complex in Fussa (western Tokyo suburbs). Around 40 members of the bosozoku (biker gang) Suiren (based in Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture) clashed with 20 members of the delinquent group Kyowakai (or Kyokuwakai, based in Hachioji, Tokyo). The rivalry dates back years and involved weapons, leading to injuries among several teens.Arrests: Tokyo Metropolitan Police announced on February 19, 2026, the arrest of 23 boys (aged 16–18) on suspicion of assembling with dangerous weapons (a charge under Japanese law for group violence). The arrests followed a months-long investigation; no major new incidents in 2026, but police have intensified surveillance amid fears of renewed unrest.Context: Bosozoku (motorcycle gangs/delinquent youth groups) in Japan often involve modified bikes, loud exhausts, and territorial fights—echoing outlaw MC dynamics but more youth-oriented. This highlights ongoing youth gang issues in Japan, with police cracking down hard on weapons and assembly.Dandridge Motorcycle Group Gives Vietnam Vet One Last RideStory: On Thursday, February 19, 2026, a local motorcycle group in Dandridge, Tennessee (Jefferson County) organized a final ride for Vietnam Veteran Willard Fields, who is in hospice care. Fields (a Vietnam-era vet) rode in a sidecar or lead position with family and riders escorting him.Details: Organized with help from Caris Healthcare (Morristown hospice), the ride gave Fields and his family a memorable moment—his grandson-in-law described it as a powerful reminder of community support for veterans. Riders from the area joined to honor his service, with emotional scenes of gratitude and patriotism.Why it resonates: Heartwarming contrast to MC news—shows bikers' positive side in community service, veteran respect, and "one last ride" traditions common in riding groups.Mental, Physical, & Emotional Hazards of Being a Social Media Content CreatorThis is a growing concern in the creator economy—especially relevant for biker media folks dealing with comments, backlash, and constant posting. Recent studies and reports highlight:Mental/Emotional Hazards:High rates of anxiety, depression, burnout, and isolation (e.g., a 2025 Creators 4 Mental Health study found creators twice as likely to experience suicidal thoughts as the general U.S. population—10% linked to work pressures).Dopamine addiction from likes/views, leading to obsession over metrics, comparison (FOMO), and toxicity (cyberbullying, hate comments).Stress "bleeds" into offline life, harming relationships; emotion-focused coping (e.g., venting) vs. problem-focused (e.g., boundaries) often fails.Parasocial relationships with audiences can distort self-identity.Physical Hazards:Sedentary lifestyle → poor posture, eye strain, repetitive stress injuries (from filming/editing).Disrupted sleep from blue light/late-night posting.Neglected exercise/eating due to irregular schedules.Broader Impacts: Financial instability (chasing trends), body image issues (filtered content), and burnout from constant creation. Recommendations include platform income stability, peer communities, mental health resources, and setting boundaries (e.g., no metrics obsession).Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dragon-s-lair-motorcycle-chaos--3267493/support.Sponsor the channel by signing up for our channel memberships.

Recently, I heard neuroscientist Emily McDonald share something that stopped me in my tracks on Jay Shetty's On Purpose podcast: one major reason we get stuck in procrastination is because we're “chasing cheap dopamine.”It's that quick-hit comfort—constant snacking, scrolling, or little rewards—that keeps us from doing the deeper, more nourishing things that actually leave us feeling accomplished.For me, my version of cheap dopamine was taking myself out to dinner… Even when I could've been home working on personal projects that truly matter to me—and eating just as beautifully.That's where Recipes 4 Survival continues to show up as something constant and grounding in my life. More than a job, more than a routine—it fulfills me in a way that's hard to describe until you've felt it yourself.And this dish, melted cabbage, is the perfect example.It's simple, economical, and deeply comforting—and the joy and sense of accomplishment I get from making it far exceeds anything I would've had to forage for in the bitter cold anyway.Now, don't get me wrong: I absolutely believe in treating yourself. I love dining out, and when I do, I order whatever I wouldn't make at home.But if you're thinking, “Sure, you can cook like this because you're a chef,” I promise—I can coach you in a way that makes cooking at home feel not only doable but genuinely empowering.So let's get into it.This is a fabulous one-pan dish: silky, oven-finished cabbage wedges with a bold tahini–balsamic–quince dressing. No fancy knife skills, no fuss — just a beautiful ritual you can make your own.In this episode:choosing to cook at home as an act of self-carecutting, searing, and braising cabbage wedgesbuilding a light bouillon with a little chili heatmaking a tahini–balsamic–quince dressingoven timing, glazing, and finishing uncoveredserving ideas: rice, toasted baguette, or straight from the panreflections on comfort, routine, and mindful eatingand an open question: nuclear winter vs. global warmingIf you have any questions or want more recipes and guidance, visit recipes4survival.com.MINDFUL MEALS & SUSTAINABLE LIVING - The Art of Living an Elevated Lifestyle

In this powerful behind-the-scenes conversation, I sit down with Marc Hildebrand — former LAPD sergeant turned high-performance coach — to unpack what men are actually thinking before they decide to step into brotherhood. We break down the hidden anxiety, ego, embarrassment, and "mind talk" that keeps men isolated, stuck, and spinning in quiet defeat.   You'll hear raw audio from one of our members, Tim Cox, as he shares what life looked like before he joined — the mental spiral, the weight gain, the doctor's warning, the loneliness, and the breakthrough that changed everything. This episode isn't just about business or health. It's about identity. It's about the stories we tell ourselves. And it's about the moment a man decides he's no longer doing life alone.     Timeline Summary [0:00] Why men feel defeated before they ever ask for help [3:37] Marc Hildebrand's transformation from overweight LAPD sergeant to coach [9:20] Tim's confession: anxiety, mind talk, and feeling like a fraud [11:01] The danger of "should" statements and internal pressure [17:22] Ego, embarrassment, and the fear of being seen [24:58] The doctor's ultimatum: insulin or change [27:01] Dopamine, food, and emotional coping [30:52] Rock bottom isn't a place — it's a decision [34:22] Why you shouldn't wait until crisis hits [37:54] "You're not alone" — the most powerful realization [41:03] The myth of the lone wolf [44:21] Inside Base Camp: the first 6 weeks of transformation [46:19] The BRAVE Man Code framework explained [49:57] Thinking differently and leveling up identity [53:39] Why Larry left a lucrative corporate career to build The Dad Edge     Five Key Takeaways Rock bottom is not a location — it's a decision to stop going lower. Ego often disguises itself as embarrassment and self-protection. Isolation amplifies anxiety — brotherhood dissolves it. Health transformation starts with identity, not tactics. You don't have to wait for crisis to change direction.     Links & Resources Dad Edge Alliance Preview Call: http://thedadedge.com/preview Dad Edge Business Boardroom (Mastermind): https://thedadedge.com/mastermind Episode Show Notes & Resources: https://thedadedge.com     Closing Remark If you've been telling yourself you'll change when it "gets bad enough," this is your sign not to wait.

In this episode of Acta Non Verba, Marcus Aurelius Anderson sits down with virtuoso guitarist Angel Vivaldi to explore the intersection of artistry, authenticity, and perseverance. Angel shares insights from his recent tour with legendary guitarist Steve Morse, discusses his creative process behind concept albums like "Synapse," and reveals how he balances being 65% artist and 35% business. The conversation dives deep into topics ranging from working with difficult people and learning from enemies, to the role of AI in music, the importance of vulnerability, and why the only thing worse than living with regret is dying with it. This is a masterclass in commitment, creativity, and staying true to yourself in an industry that constantly demands compromise. Episode Highlights [2:14] Learning from Steve Morse's Humility and Reinvention - Angel describes touring with guitar legend Steve Morse and witnessing him reinvent his playing technique due to arthritis. Despite being one of the greatest guitarists alive, Morse remained humble enough to learn legato and tapping techniques from Angel, demonstrating that true mastery includes the willingness to continuously evolve. [20:59] The Muse and Discipline: Speaking Her Language - Angel shares his philosophy on creativity and the muse: "She has a lot of people to visit and she's gonna favor those who know how to speak her language. What is her language? Music." He explains why showing up consistently to practice—even without inspiration—is essential, because you're refining how you speak music so the muse can work through you. [39:44] The Synapse Album: Painting Studios and Neurotransmitters - Angel reveals the extreme creative process behind his concept album "Synapse," where each song represents a different neurotransmitter. He painted his studio a different color for each song (red for adrenaline, green for serotonin), changed scents, and even wrote at specific times of day to embody each neurochemical state—a process that nearly broke him but resulted in some of his most authentic work. [82:13] Learning from Your Enemies: Unfiltered Feedback - Angel offers a provocative perspective: "Your enemies have no stake in you liking them or them liking you. If you want unfiltered, uncensored, direct feedback on your flaws as a human being, look to your enemies." He explains how to parse criticism from adversaries to find genuine insights while filtering out projection and insecurity. Angel Vivaldi is an American virtuoso guitarist, songwriter, and producer who has been pushing the boundaries of instrumental guitar music since beginning his solo career in 2003. Self-taught from age 15, Angel has released multiple concept albums including "Universal Language," "Away With Words Parts 1 & 2," and "Synapse," each showcasing his unique blend of progressive metal, fusion, and melodic sensibility. Beyond his solo work, Angel is a multifaceted creative force—he's a cinematographer, fashion enthusiast, interior designer, and entrepreneur who founded Zenith Council, an artist services company helping musicians with branding, marketing, and creative vision. Recently, he toured as a guest guitarist with legendary Steve Morse, managing Morse's career while contributing rhythm guitar and content creation. Angel's approach to music and life embodies his belief that authenticity and vulnerability are the keys to creating art that truly resonates.

Tavapadon is a new investigational medication for Parkinson's disease that works very differently from traditional dopamine agonists. Instead of broadly stimulating dopamine receptors, tavapadon selectively targets D1 receptors—the brain's primary "go" signal for movement—and does so as a partial agonist. In this episode (watch on YouTube), I explain: -How dopamine pathways actually work in Parkinson's disease -Why most current dopamine agonists target D2 and D3 receptors -What makes tavapadon's D1-selective mechanism unique -How partial agonism may reduce receptor burnout and side effects -Why researchers are excited about restoring the brain's direct motor pathway This is not medical advice. The goal of this video is education—breaking down the science behind emerging Parkinson's treatments so patients, caregivers, and clinicians can better understand what's coming and what questions still remain.

The Missing Current in Modern Male Strength The Lover archetype is the most misunderstood force in modern masculinity. It is often mistaken for softness, indulgence, or emotional excess. In reality, the Lover is neither sentimental nor weak. It is the archetype responsible for aliveness itself. It governs a man's capacity to feel, to connect, to experience meaning and pleasure without losing structure. When this archetype is integrated, life feels vivid, embodied, and human. When it is distorted or suppressed, strength remains—but it becomes brittle, sterile, and quietly unsustainable. In the architecture of the Conscious Warrior, the Lover is the connective tissue. The King governs. The Warrior executes. The Magician refines perception. The Lover circulates life through all of them. Without it, authority hardens, discipline dries out, and insight loses relevance. Men do not fail because they lack strength. They fail because strength becomes disconnected from vitality. The Lover is not a luxury. It is a requirement. The Core Function of the Lover Archetype At its core, the Lover archetype governs connection and vitality. It is the capacity to experience life directly rather than abstractly. Where the Magician sees meaning, the Lover feels it. Where the Warrior moves toward challenge, the Lover experiences why the challenge matters. Where the King sets standards, the Lover ensures those standards serve something alive rather than mechanical. The Lover connects a man to beauty, pleasure, creativity, nature, intimacy, and emotional resonance. This does not mean constant stimulation or indulgence. It means presence. The Lover allows a man to receive experience fully without needing to dominate it, escape it, or numb it. When the Lover is healthy, life feels textured. Effort has reward. Discipline has warmth. Authority has humanity. When the Lover is absent, men often report a strange emptiness. They are productive, competent, and disciplined—yet something feels flat. This is not a motivation problem. It is a circulation problem. Why the Lover Must Be Contained by the King The Lover is powerful, but it is not sovereign. Vitality without containment leaks. Pleasure without structure turns corrosive. Emotion without authority becomes destabilizing. This is why the Lover must be held by the King. When the Lover serves the King, aliveness becomes sustainable. Pleasure enriches rather than distracts. Emotion informs rather than overwhelms. Creativity fuels direction instead of fragmenting it. The King provides boundaries so the Lover can flow without flooding the system. Without the King, the Lover often collapses into excess or avoidance. Desire becomes compulsive. Stimulation replaces satisfaction. Emotional experience becomes something to chase or suppress rather than inhabit. This is not because pleasure is dangerous, but because it is uncontained. The relationship between King and Lover is not oppositional. It is regulatory. One creates structure. The other fills it with life. The Lover as the Antidote to Sterile Strength Many men pride themselves on discipline, restraint, and control. These are not flaws. They are incomplete expressions of strength. When discipline is severed from the Lover, it turns rigid. Training becomes punishment. Work becomes endurance. Relationships become transactional. Pleasure feels suspect, as though it might weaken resolve or dilute edge. Over time, the nervous system adapts by numbing. Sensation dulls. Emotional range narrows. Life becomes manageable—but no longer rich. The Lover restores circulation where strength has dried out. It reintroduces sensation, joy, intimacy, and creative engagement without dismantling discipline. This is not regression. It is integration. A man does not lose his edge by feeling more. He loses his edge by becoming disconnected from what gives effort meaning. Strength that cannot feel eventually collapses under its own weight. The Healthy Lover Archetype A healthy Lover archetype is grounded, regulated, and embodied. It experiences pleasure without compulsion and emotion without collapse. Presence remains steady even when sensation is intense. Men with an integrated Lover often notice subtle but profound shifts. They recover faster. They enjoy effort rather than merely surviving it. They feel connected to their bodies, their environments, and the people around them without losing direction or discipline. Emotional intimacy deepens because presence replaces performance. This form of aliveness is not chaotic. It is rhythmic. The nervous system can open and close, receive and act, engage and rest. Pleasure is digested rather than chased. Emotion moves through rather than lingering or exploding. Life feels inhabited rather than endured. The Shadow Lover Archetype The shadow Lover does not lack feeling. It lacks containment. One expression of the shadow Lover is excess. Pleasure becomes compulsive. Dopamine replaces depth. Stimulation substitutes for intimacy. This often shows up as overconsumption—of sex, novelty, substances, entertainment, or validation—without lasting satisfaction. The system keeps reaching because nothing ever lands. The other expression is numbing. Sensation is shut down in the name of focus, discipline, or control. Emotion is withheld. Joy feels distracting. Intimacy feels threatening. Life becomes muted, and the body adapts by lowering sensitivity. These two shadows are not opposites. They are twins. Both arise from the same misalignment: pleasure without containment or containment without pleasure. In both cases, vitality leaks or dries out. Healthy Lover vs Shadow Lover Healthy Lover Shadow Lover Experiences pleasure with containment Chases pleasure compulsively Emotion is felt and regulated Emotion overwhelms or numbs Presence deepens intimacy Intensity replaces intimacy Aliveness supports discipline Aliveness disrupts discipline Vitality is sustainable Vitality leaks or collapses The difference is not desire. It is structure. The Lover Archetype and Masculine Intimacy When Lover energy is wounded, it shows up clearly in intimacy. Sex becomes performance or escape. Emotional connection feels risky. Some men chase intensity, novelty, or conquest because depth feels unavailable. Others withdraw, convincing themselves that emotional distance equals strength. In both cases, presence is missing. The Lover archetype has been exiled in the name of control. An integrated Lover does not seek intensity to feel alive. He brings aliveness into contact. Intimacy becomes an exchange rather than a transaction. Desire is felt without urgency. Emotion is shared without collapse. Strength remains intact because it is no longer defending against sensation. This is not relational advice. It is an identity-level distinction. Integrating the Lover Archetype Integrating the Lover archetype is not about indulgence. It is about regulation. It requires the capacity to receive sensation without losing containment. To feel pleasure without compulsive reach. To experience emotion without outsourcing responsibility. This integration allows vitality to circulate through discipline, authority, and perception without destabilizing them. Men were never taught how to do this. They were taught to choose between edge and aliveness, between discipline and pleasure, between control and connection. That false choice fractures the system. When the Lover is integrated, strength does not soften. It becomes worth sustaining. Frequently Asked Questions About the Lover Archetype What is the Lover archetype in men? The Lover archetype governs aliveness, connection, pleasure, and emotional presence. It is the capacity to experience life directly and meaningfully rather than through abstraction or control. When healthy, it enriches discipline and authority; when wounded, it leads to excess or numbness. Why do disciplined men still feel emotionally flat? Emotional flatness often occurs when discipline suppresses vitality instead of containing it. Strength remains, but sensation dulls. The Lover archetype has been exiled in the name of focus, causing life to feel sterile despite competence and consistency. How does pleasure become destructive? Pleasure becomes destructive when it lacks containment. Without structure, the nervous system chases stimulation instead of integrating satisfaction. This leads to compulsive patterns rather than sustained aliveness, even when pleasure appears abundant. Is the Lover archetype about relationships and sex? Relationships and sex are expressions of the Lover archetype, but not its entirety. At a deeper level, the Lover governs presence, embodiment, and the ability to receive experience fully. Intimacy simply reveals whether that capacity is integrated or fragmented. How does coaching support integration of the Lover archetype? Coaching provides containment for emotional and somatic awareness, helping men regulate sensation rather than suppress or chase it. This allows vitality to circulate without destabilizing discipline, restoring depth and presence without sacrificing edge. Closing Reflection The Lover archetype does not weaken strength. It animates it. Without the Lover, discipline becomes dry, authority becomes rigid, and perception loses relevance. With it, strength feels alive, effort feels meaningful, and life becomes something you inhabit rather than manage. This integration does not reduce power. It stabilizes it. For men ready to reclaim aliveness without losing their edge, the doorway is quiet but exact. The Conscious Warrior Code exists to support this level of integration—where vitality flows through structure, and strength remains fully human. .lwrp.link-whisper-related-posts{ margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 30px; } .lwrp .lwrp-title{ }.lwrp .lwrp-description{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-container{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container{ display: flex; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-double{ width: 48%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-triple{ width: 32%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container{ display: flex; justify-content: space-between; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container .lwrp-list-item{ width: calc(25% - 20px); } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item:not(.lwrp-no-posts-message-item){ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item img{ max-width: 100%; height: auto; object-fit: cover; aspect-ratio: 1 / 1; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item.lwrp-empty-list-item{ background: initial !important; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-link .lwrp-list-link-title-text, .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-no-posts-message{ }@media screen and (max-width: 480px) { .lwrp.link-whisper-related-posts{ } .lwrp .lwrp-title{ }.lwrp .lwrp-description{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container{ flex-direction: column; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container ul.lwrp-list{ margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-double, .lwrp .lwrp-list-triple{ width: 100%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container{ justify-content: initial; flex-direction: column; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container .lwrp-list-item{ width: 100%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item:not(.lwrp-no-posts-message-item){ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-link .lwrp-list-link-title-text, .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-no-posts-message{ }; } Related Posts The Subconscious Mind And Personal Development ConnectionHow to Avoid Burnout: Warrior Mind Podcast #4576 Scientific Tips for Achieving of Peak PerformanceThe 4C’s of Mental Strength VLOG The Neuroscience of Willpower: The Shocking Science Behind This PracticeMental Strength for Peak Performance: Warrior Mind Podcast #470Warrior vs. Victim: Warrior Mind Podcast #49510 Must Have Leadership Skills: Warrior Mind Podcast #381

Last week I shared a big milestone. It was emotional, vulnerable, and uncomfortable. And if I'm honest, part of me wanted to downplay it and move on quickly. That discomfort is exactly why this week's episode matters. I see so many women skip over their progress and wait to celebrate until they hit a huge milestone. It's easy to live in “not enough yet.” But what I've learned is, the single greatest motivator for high-level performance is the sense of making progress in meaningful work. In this week's episode of Doing Business Like a Woman, I'm sharing the science of celebration and why it belongs in your marketing strategy.

You said you wanted to change. You said this year would be different. And now it's February and your mood is already negotiating with you.In this conversation, Rick breaks down the quiet way moods take over when there is no plan behind your decisions. From fitness to relationships to work to parenting, he challenges the lie that “not feeling like it” is a valid reason to stop moving forward.This episode is about the difference between a feeling and a commitment. Feelings are temporary. Commitments require action. And without a clear plan, your moods will always win. If you're tired of managing consequences instead of creating your life, this one will hit.What Rick explores in this episode:Why moods are not a strategy for building anything meaningfulThe difference between wanting something and committing to itHow shame creeps in when feelings replace disciplineWhy managing consequences feels harder than following a planA simple way to restart when you have fallen off trackFollow Rick's Socials:Instagram | LinkedIn | RickJordan.TVKeywords: discipline mindset, control your emotions, stop procrastinating, build better habits, new year goals, commitment vs feelings, personal responsibility, managing moods, life planning, long term success, relationship discipline, fitness consistency, parenting presence, career growth mindset, stop making excuses, structured goals, high performance habits, regret prevention, self leadership, creating your life

If you've ever felt trapped in cravings, emotional eating, or shame after food — this episode is for you.I break down the three feel-good hormones that quietly run your relationship with food, cravings, and self-sabotage: dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin.This isn't a biology lesson.It's a reframe — one that replaces shame with understanding and control with compassion.Dopamine: The Fast Relief LoopDopamine is the reward hormone. It's released anytime we move away from discomfort toward relief.Stress → foodOverwhelm → wineEmotions → scrolling, shopping, snackingWhen I feel stressed and ice cream makes me feel better, my brain learns that pattern. Over time, dopamine becomes the shortcut — but it never lasts. The body adapts, and suddenly one cookie isn't enough. One glass of wine becomes three or four.This isn't a discipline issue.It's a trained reward loop in the nervous system.Serotonin: Why Joy Starts in the GutSerotonin is the hormone of calm, ease, and steady joy — and 90% of it is produced in the gut.When I'm in protection mode, digestion is no longer a priority. Blood flow shifts, cortisol rises, and healing shuts down. I can eat — but I'm not digesting.This is why protection mode often shows up as:bloatingfood sensitivitiesanxietystubborn weight, especially around the midsectionMy body isn't failing.It's responding to perceived danger.Oxytocin: The Hormone I'm Actually CravingOxytocin is the hormone of love, safety, connection, and belonging.It's released when I'm kind to myself, when I speak gently, when I connect, hug, touch, laugh, and allow myself to feel safe.But when negative self-talk blocks access to oxytocin, my body looks for substitutes.First serotonin.Then dopamine.Food becomes the regulator when love feels inaccessible.Why Shame Comes After the “High”Dopamine delivers fast relief — followed by second-order thinking:guilt, shame, regret, self-judgment.That emotional crash isn't failure.It's the nervous system losing access to safety again.My body was never asking for food.It was asking for connection.The Missing Piece: Safety Before ChangeEvery thought I think creates chemistry in my body.The vagus nerve listens to all of it.When safety comes first:digestion improvesserotonin risescravings softenweight becomes releasableThis episode reframes emotional eating as a nervous-system response, not a character flaw.Key TakeawaysDopamine offers relief, not regulationSerotonin requires digestion and safetyOxytocin is the deepest need beneath cravingsFood becomes the fallback when love feels inaccessibleHealing happens through safety, not controlReflection PromptsWhen I crave food, what feeling am I really seeking?Where am I relying on dopamine instead of safety?How do I speak to myself when I feel out of control?What would it look like to choose kindness instead of correction today?Where can I create more connection — with myself or others?Closing ThoughtYou're not addicted.You're not broken.You're regulating the best way your body knows how.And what it's really asking for…is love.Book your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call now and start your journey to lasting change!

Vandaag beantwoorden we twee vragen van één vragensteller, een 25-jarige studente. Ze voelt zich vrij, veilig en vervuld zonder vaste relatie want zo is ze los van verwachtingen, van verplichtingen en er is niemand om rekening mee te moeten houden. Is dit dan bindingsangst, vraagt ze zich af? Is dit bang zijn om iemand teleur te stellen? Of komt dit doordat ze niet helemaal veilig gehecht is? Mooie vraag om te onderzoeken in deze aflevering. Daarnaast vraagt ze zich af waarom haar generatie massaal kampt met stress, onzekerheid en somberheid? Wat doet het met je als je hele leven zich deels afspeelt op een scherm - waar vergelijking, prikkels en dopamine nooit stoppen? Iedereen die ze kent is wel onzeker over iets. We onderzoeken hoe prestatiedruk en social media elkaar versterken, waarom rust steeds schaarser wordt en wat je zélf kunt doen om niet meegezogen te worden.

Why can one person drink coffee at night and sleep fine while another feels anxious and wired for 12 hours? Why do some people thrive on high-dose B vitamins while others spiral into panic and insomnia? Why does estrogen feel overwhelming for some but not others? The answer may lie in one powerful gene: COMT.In this episode of Wholistic Living, we break down the two COMT personality types and how they influence mood, stress response, sleep, hormones, and caffeine tolerance. Slow COMT is often the intense, driven, high-dopamine type. These individuals are focused and sharp but may be prone to anxiety, overthinking, insomnia, estrogen dominance, and caffeine sensitivity. Stress lingers in the system. Hormones feel stronger. B vitamins can overstimulate. Fast COMT is often the lower-dopamine, stimulation-seeking type. These individuals may feel less motivated or more fatigued and may rely on caffeine. They clear stress quickly but also clear dopamine quickly. Too many methyl donors like B9 and B12 can reduce dopamine even further and worsen low mood or lack of drive. In this episode, you will learn:How COMT regulates dopamine, adrenaline, and estrogen detoxWhy slow COMT can contribute to PMS, PMDD, histamine issues, and insomniaWhy fast COMT can affect motivation and moodHow methylated B vitamins influence each variant differentlyWhy caffeine tolerance is genetically influencedHow to structure your diet and lifestyle based on your COMT typeGenetics are not your destiny, but they are your blueprint. If you have ever felt wired and tired, anxious from supplements, hormonally intense, or chronically unmotivated, this episode will help you understand why. Root cause work begins with understanding your terrain.Equip Foods Grass-fed beef protein - Code: MARLAWant to work with me? email me to health@holisticspring.com

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron dives deep into the concepts of longevity and aging well, discussing the importance of consistent health practices, the impact of diet culture, and the role of hormones and supplements. She emphasizes the significance of building muscle, maintaining good sleep hygiene, and simplifying nutrition to promote overall health and well-being as we age. Takeaways Longevity and aging well are becoming increasingly popular topics. Diet culture has fluctuated between body positivity and weight loss trends. Hormone replacement therapy is beneficial but not accessible to everyone. Consistency in health practices is more effective than quick fixes. Building muscle is crucial for longevity and reducing health risks. Sleep deprivation can significantly impact health and insulin sensitivity. Nutrition should focus on adequate protein and fiber intake. Fiber is essential for preventing colon cancer and regulating blood sugar. Dopamine-driven trends can distract from effective health practices. Boring health advice often yields the best long-term results. Sound bites "Longevity is everywhere right now." "Consistency in health practices is key." "Nutrition can be so simple, truly."

In this episode, we break down the real reason consistency feels so hard, and why motivation is rarely the problem people think it is. Most women aren't lacking discipline. They're stuck in patterns they don't recognize and trying to do everything alone. We talk about why the hardest path is often the right one, how rigidity quietly sabotages progress, and why chasing quick dopamine hits keeps you spinning instead of moving forward. This conversation is about learning to see your habits clearly, choosing long-term action over short-term comfort, and accepting that sustainable change always takes time and support. Consistency isn't a personality trait.

In this episode, we break down the real reason consistency feels so hard, and why motivation is rarely the problem people think it is. Most women aren't lacking discipline. They're stuck in patterns they don't recognize and trying to do everything alone. We talk about why the hardest path is often the right one, how rigidity quietly sabotages progress, and why chasing quick dopamine hits keeps you spinning instead of moving forward. This conversation is about learning to see your habits clearly, choosing long-term action over short-term comfort, and accepting that sustainable change always takes time and support. Consistency isn't a personality trait. It's a skill you build with the right structure and the right people around you.We talk about:-Why the hardest thing and the right thing are often the same-The hidden danger of being too rigid-Why shortcuts always cost more in the end-Dopamine spikes versus real progress-The reality that change takes time-Why nobody succeeds completely alone-Recognizing and breaking self-sabotaging patternsTime Stamps: 0:00 Introduction2:09 Is motivation really the problem?7:13 staying consistent through all stages of life13:23 getting help is the fast path14:30 knowing where to start19:34 the dark side of free information27:00 the choice is yours32:35 following through on commitmentsCONNECT WITH KAIT:1:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd79IG: https://www.instagram.com/kaitannmichelle/Email: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-listFree FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18fyYCSZgn/?mibextid=K35XfPCONNECT WITH MAVERICK:1:1 Coaching: https://form.jotform.com/241375086805157Four Phase Course: https://www.skool.com/4-phase-body-transformation-9674/about?ref=df07484c52f048a59dac76c46465bd79IG: https://www.instagram.com/the.willetts/

When someone comes on strong early, it can feel like intimacy—but it's often just intensity. In this episode, Sabrina breaks down love bombing, future faking, and why fast-moving connections activate dopamine and attachment wounds rather than real emotional safety. She explains what's actually happening in your brain when chemistry feels overwhelming and why those relationships tend to crash just as fast. You'll learn the most common signs of love bombing, why stable connection can feel boring at first, and how anxious attachment keeps people hooked on the high. Sabrina also shares the Reality Check Pause, a practical tool to slow down, spot red flags early, and build relationships based on consistency, trust, and choice—not urgency or fear of being alone. If you're struggling with breakups or repeating unhealthy relationship cycles, this episode breaks down why heartbreak hurts so deeply and how healing actually begins.

In this episode, the focus is on the "quiet crisis" many accomplished women experience in midlife: having everything they worked for yet feeling empty or misaligned. The conversation explores how success driven by external validation and constant achievement can leave a gap where meaning, alignment, and inner peace should be. Listeners are invited to slow down, regulate their nervous system, get quiet enough to hear their intuition, and begin honoring the desires that have been quietly calling to them.   Key Points Quiet crisis: success achieved, but inner emptiness remains Many goals were built on others' expectations, not true desires Midlife shifts focus from "What can I do?" to "Who am I?" External success vs. internal alignment and meaning Dopamine-driven achievement can't fill a deeper soul need Regulating the nervous system allows more calm and clarity Silence and stillness make room for intuition to be heard Notice what now feels heavy that once felt exciting Notice what feels alive and keeps "tapping on your shoulder" Example: prioritizing short, frequent trips to see a loved one Midlife as recalibration, not crisis Connect with Anna: Email: annamarie@happywholeyou.com / info@HappyWholeYou.com Website: www.happywholeyou.com / https://linktr.ee/happywholeyou Personal Website: www.DrAnnaMarie.com Instagram: @happywholeyou Personal Instagram: @Dr.Anna.Marie Facebook: Happy Whole You LinkedIn: Anna Marie Frank Venmo: @happywholeyou

In this urgent solo episode, Darin breaks down what may be the most dangerous fatal convenience of our time: the digital algorithms quietly hijacking our attention, biology, and sovereignty. Billions of dollars are being spent to keep you scrolling by triggering fear, shame, comparison, and low-grade stress, and the cost is your presence, peace, and power. Drawing from neuroscience, public health data, indigenous wisdom, and lived experience, Darin exposes how the modern digital environment is engineered to extract from us, and why reclaiming your attention is one of the most powerful acts of self-protection available today. This episode is a call to stop outsourcing your life to algorithms, and start consciously designing your own.     What You'll Learn Why your attention is the most valuable real estate on Earth How algorithms are designed to exploit fear, shame, and comparison Why digital addiction is now considered a global public health crisis The biological cost of constant scrolling and notification overload How distraction prevents you from choosing your own life Why willpower fails against billion-dollar attention economies The concept of the "toxic digital environment" Indigenous wisdom as an antidote to modern extractive systems What it means to build your algorithm for life How intentional friction restores focus and freedom The science behind lost concentration and attention recovery Why psychological richness matters more than happiness Simple, actionable steps to reclaim your time and sovereignty     Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife and the sovereignty mission 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Our Place and non-toxic cookware 00:03:08 – The most expensive real estate on Earth: your attention 00:03:27 – How algorithms hijack fear, shame, and comparison 00:03:56 – The toxic digital environment as a fatal convenience 00:04:21 – What convenience is really costing you 00:04:28 – Breaking the loop and building your own algorithm 00:04:41 – Digital addiction as a global public health crisis 00:04:58 – Why countries are banning social media for kids 00:05:12 – Biological harm: sleep loss, cortisol, and focus collapse 00:05:18 – Big Tech lawsuits and internal documents 00:05:39 – Dopamine delivery systems and low-grade stress 00:06:02 – When you're distracted, you're not choosing your life 00:06:25 – Why more tech isn't the solution 00:06:35 – Indigenous cultures and a different algorithm for life 00:06:48 – The medicine wheel and solving for balance 00:06:59 – Feeding the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual 00:07:11 – Dadirri: deep listening and stillness 00:07:27 – Reciprocity vs extraction 00:07:37 – Rebalancing time between digital and nature 00:07:53 – Get in the dirt: movement and stillness 00:08:04 – Sponsor: Mana Vitality and frequency-based wellness 00:09:59 – Why willpower doesn't work against AI 00:10:14 – Creating intentional friction 00:10:29 – Removing apps and notifications 00:10:50 – The 23-minute attention recovery rule 00:11:18 – Psychological richness vs endless stimulation 00:11:24 – Why novelty and variety expand life 00:11:45 – Seeking the unknown instead of more of the same 00:12:05 – Nature as the ultimate algorithm 00:12:15 – Auditing your digital environment 00:12:28 – Deleting one app that makes you feel less than 00:12:46 – Why the best things in life aren't convenient 00:13:06 – Taking back attention restores health on every level 00:13:19 – From user to creator of your life 00:13:29 – Why you're not missing anything by not scrolling 00:13:41 – Reclaiming sovereignty together as a community 00:14:24 – Put the phone down.

I break down why self-worth isn't a motivation problem and why trying to “think” your way into confidence rarely works. I explain how your identity is built from predictable behavioral patterns and how your nervous system resists change that feels unfamiliar or threatening. We dive into the biology behind self-worth, including dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine, and how they shape drive, discipline, and resilience. Finally, I lay out practical steps you can use to rebuild self-worth through action, repetition, and new patterns.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:00 - Why Self-Worth Isn't a Motivation Problem01:07 - Identity as Predictable Patterns02:37 - The Rider and the Elephant03:56 - Why the Brain Rejects Change05:16 - Self-Worth as a Felt Experience06:59 - Dopamine and Direction07:12 - Serotonin and Self-Control08:21 - Norepinephrine and Resilience09:28 - Why Change Feels Like Death11:07 - Practical Steps to Rebuild Self-Worth14:56 - Self-Worth Is Built Through Action***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?

I survived the world's unhealthiest diet! Find out how I went from eating the unhealthiest foods in the world to finally getting my health on track. In this video, I'll show you which foods contribute to insulin resistance and how you can shift from an ultra-processed diet to a healthy one. Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO07 0:00 Introduction: The unhealthiest diet in the world 1:30 Side effects of an unhealthy diet 2:41 Dopamine and sugar overload4:32 Environment and the processed food diet 6:28 How to quit sugar and junk food My entire childhood was filled with sugar, starch, seed oils, sweetened cereals, candy, soda, TV dinners, and more. As I got older, I'd graze after dinner until bedtime every single night. I consumed junk food and refined foods in the military while my life was high in stress and low in sleep. In college, I dealt with more stress, drank lots of coffee, and ate more junk food. Side effects of my unhealthy diet included:• Ulcers • Liver and gallbladder problems • Referred pain in the right shoulder • Restless legs syndrome• Nervousness • Insomnia • Dry eyes • Severe arthritis • Kidney stones I weighed 211 pounds, but the food I was eating was not satisfying! Refined carbs and sugar stimulate dopamine, which is not a pleasure neurotransmitter. Dopamine is an anticipatory neurotransmitter. The more you have, the more your body wants. If you eat too much junk food, you can develop dopamine resistance. This is what drives addiction, and why ultra-processed foods may satisfy you initially, but leave you feeling hungry an hour later. This is called dopamine hunger!You're not struggling with your diet because of a lack of willpower; it's your environment. The modern world is engineered with so many things to keep us hooked and addicted. Removing the triggers is the only solution!Ditch your unhealthy diet by focusing on your environment first. Try these steps:1. Get rid of ultra-processed foods: seed oils, starches, and sugar.2. No snacking, especially at night.3. No visible food.4. Find healthy substitutes for junk food.5. No blue light at night.6. Never go to the grocery store hungry or without a list. 7. Preserve your sleep.8. Be careful with social events.

Dr. Read Montague, PhD, is a professor and director of the Center for Human Neuroscience Research at Virginia Tech and an expert in how dopamine and serotonin shape human learning, motivation and decision-making. We discuss how they impact focused effort in the context of short- and long-term goals of all kinds. Also, how SSRIs and low-effort, high-engagement activities reduce the rewarding properties of dopamine, and how AI algorithms are revolutionizing understanding of the brain.

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____If you feel busy, stimulated, but still oddly unsatisfied, this episode will explain why. ADHD isn't a dopamine deficiency. It's a regulation problem. Tracy breaks down what dopamine actually does in the ADHD brain and why chasing it through scrolling, shopping, sugar, urgency, or constant stimulation leaves so many women feeling flat or burned out. ADHD brains don't have a broken gas tank. They have a sticky accelerator. The issue isn't pleasure. It's how often and how intensely we spike it.Tracy explains dopamine spikes versus baseline, why wanting outpaces liking, and why novelty driven motivation fades so quickly for ADHD brains. Drawing on neuroscience research, she shows how constant stimulation lowers baseline motivation and turns productivity hacks, new planners, and systems into part of the same dopamine loop. This has nothing to do with discipline or follow through. It's biology.The episode closes with practical ways to work with dopamine instead of fighting it, including dopamine pauses, time bound resets, replacement instead of restriction, and small doses of productive discomfort. Tracy explains why confidence comes from self trust and why environment design matters more than willpower. Dopamine isn't the enemy. It's fuel. Learning how to steer it changes everything.Resources: Website: tracyotsuka.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/tracyotsuka YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tracyotsuka4796FREE 3-days to Fall in Love With Your ADHD Brain training on Jan 6th:  https://tracyotsuka.com/ilovemybrain Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work?
