Podcasts about neurotransmitters

Dr. Dale Bredesen, a renowned expert in the field of neurodegenerative diseases, is on a mission to reshape the way we think about aging and brain health. He challenges conventional perceptions about aging, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a "brain span" that matches one's lifespan. Often posing thought-provoking questions about longevity, Dr. Bredesen highlights the undesirability of living to an advanced age if it means suffering from dementia. His work, driven by ongoing research and encapsulated in his latest book, aims to shift the narrative from expecting cognitive decline with age to implementing proactive strategies for preserving brain function.

Text Dr. Lenz any feedback or questions This episode dives into the complex relationship between migraines and hormonal changes, particularly focusing on estrogen. The discussion covers the prevalence of migraines, the distinction between migraines with and without aura, and the significant impact of reproductive hormones on migraine patterns, especially in women. Key topics include the discovery of the estrogen threshold, the influence of estrogen on neurotransmitter systems like serotonin and glutamate, and the potential of hormone-based treatments. The episode also examines the role of the trigeminal vascular system, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), and the impact of oral contraceptives on migraine frequency and intensity. Practical strategies for managing menstrual migraines and the importance of using headache diaries for accurate diagnosis are highlighted.00:00 Introduction to Migraines00:20 Types of Migraines and Auras00:42 Sex Differences in Migraine Prevalence00:59 Hormonal Influence on Migraines01:53 Estrogen's Role in Menstrual Migraines02:05 Historical Breakthroughs in Migraine Research02:35 Estrogen Threshold and Migraine Triggers04:10 Estrogen's Impact on Brain Function07:29 Neurotransmitters and Migraine Pathways11:15 Oxytocin and Migraine Prevention13:20 Trigeminal Vascular System and Migraines16:46 Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide and Inflammation20:38 Oral Contraceptives and Migraine Management24:59 The Importance of Headache Diaries26:45 Conclusion and Future Research Click here for the Fibromyalgia 101 link.Click here to connect with Joy Lenz.

Your brain is not producing adequate amounts of neurotransmitters.   Neurotransmitters control your reality–your mood, memory, thinking and behavior.    And when your brain has what it needs, you naturally feel relaxed and alert, focused and positive–even happy.    But when your brain does not have what it needs, you get symptoms like anxiety, depression, anger and irritability, apathy, low energy and motivation, sleep problems and loss of memory, focus and attention.    An inadequate supply of neurotransmitters is why you have the urge to use substances like sugar, alcohol, caffeine and prescription medications to cope or compensate.   The good news is that nutrients you need are inexpensive and widely available. And clinical studies show that following simple nutritional protocols gives you FIVE TO ONE ODDS of overcoming substance use disorders.   In this episode, I give you a basic overview of the vitamins, minerals and amino acid supplements that can restore your sense of confidence and control.    —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.

Angela talks to TJ Power about the intricacies of high performance and the role of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins in enhancing focus and mental well-being. They discuss the importance of achieving a flow state, looking at how it requires sustained attention on a single task for at least 15 minutes, and suggest that breaks should involve broad attention tasks to recharge the brain KEY TAKEAWAYS Flow State Foundations: You need at least 15 minutes of uninterrupted focus to enter a true flow state. Distractions like your phone can easily break this. Broad vs. Narrow Attention: Breaks should involve "broad attention" activities like walking or talking, not phones or sugar, to help the brain reset. Brain Chemicals 101: Dopamine drives motivation, oxytocin supports connection, serotonin regulates mood and energy, and endorphins help reduce stress. Boost Without the Crash: Cold exposure can naturally boost dopamine. Heat (like saunas) helps increase endorphins and support recovery. Dopamine Overload: Constant stimulation (social media, sugar, alcohol) overstimulates dopamine pathways, leading to a low, flat mood. Morning Reset: The best fix for low dopamine and motivation? Change how you start your day—simple shifts can improve your mental health dramatically. Timestamps and Key Topics 00:00 – Intro and flow state basics03:10 – Feeling foggy and tired?

In this episode of fx Medicine by BioCeuticals, host Dr Adrian Lopresti interviews Dr Nenad Naumovski, a leading researcher in food science and human nutrition at the University of Canberra. Dr Naumovski delves into his pioneering research on L-theanine, a non-proteinogenic amino acid found in green tea, highlighting its potential to improve sleep quality, reduce stress, and enhance cognitive function. Dr. Nenad discusses how L-theanine impacts neurotransmitters and increases alpha waves in the brain to induce relaxation and sleep. He also explains how L-theanine works to improve memory and cognition, which can be understood through its neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. The discussion also covers the development of functional food products fortified with nutrients, including L-theanine, and the challenges of making them viable and palatable while maintaining health benefits. This episode offers invaluable insights into L-theanine's role as a potent therapeutic agent and its positive effects on sleep, cognition and mental health, as well as its place in integrative medicine.

#199 Dopamin: die Sucht nach Vergnügen – mit Dr. med. Jan Dreher Diese Folge liegt mir persönlich sehr am Herzen, weil ich das Thema in der Zeit, in der wir aktuell leben, für ausgesprochen relevant halte und weil es uns alle auf die eine oder andere Art betrifft. Wir sprechen über Dopamin. Dopamin ist ein wichtiger Botenstoff, ein sogenannter Neurotransmitter, in unserem Gehirn. Es spielt eine Schlüsselrolle bei der Steuerung von Bewegungen, der Motivation und dem Belohnungssystem. Einfach gesagt hilft Dopamin, uns für positive Erlebnisse zu belohnen und motiviert uns, Dinge zu tun, die uns guttun oder Freude bereiten. Erstmal also nichts Verwerfliches und auch nicht weiter problematisch, könnte man meinen. Die amerikanische Psychiaterin und Stanford Professorin Dr. Anna Lembke landete 2021 mit ihrem Buch „Dopamine Nation“ auf Platz 1 der New York Times Bestseller Liste und sie beschreibt die Problematik rund um Dopamin so: „Das Verlangen nach Dopamin ist die treibende Kraft hinter allen Süchten. Es ist das Streben nach dem nächsten Höhepunkt, dem nächsten schnellen Genuss. Aber die Wahrheit ist, dass der Versuch, den Dopaminspiegel ständig zu steigern, uns letztlich mehr Schaden zufügt als Nutzen.“ Sucht hat viele Gesichter und die Dopaminnation, über die sie schreibt, sind am Ende WIR alle. Das Buch hat mich sehr nachdenklich gemacht und je tiefer ich in das Thema eingestiegen bin, umso nachdenklicher wurde ich, auch, was mein eigenes Verhalten angeht. Ich glaube, wir brauchen dringend mehr Bewusstsein für Dopamin und seine Auswirkungen und ich freu mich wie Bolle, dass sich mein heutiger Gast bereit erklärt hat, mit mir und euch zusammen tiefer hinabzusteigen in den Kaninchenbau unserer Neurotransmitter und unseres faszinierenden Gehirns. Er ist Facharzt für Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie und Chefarzt der Klinik Königshof Krefeld, einer Fachklinik für Psychiatrie, Psychotherapie, Psychosomatik und Neurologie. Nebenbei hat er ein Buch über Psycho- Pharmakotherapie geschrieben, Videokurse für Studierende und Fachärzte erstellt und er hostet mit seinem Freund und Kollegen Dr. Alexander Kugelstadt den berühmten PsychCast, wo Ihr dieses Gespräch auch als Video anschauen könnt!

Is our biology predisposing us to addictive tendencies? Addiction isn't just about willpower—it's deeply rooted in biology.  Today, we dive into how our own biology can make it easier to fall into an addiction and make it harder to break free. Why is that though? Because it gives us leverage points to both prevent or treat addictions. Similar to trying to treat trauma just with therapy and not including the biology, addictions is a mind-body and biology condition and will require such an approach for the best outcomes. The late Dr. Charles Gant, who was our guest for this episode, achieved an 83% success rate in addiction recovery—far surpassing conventional methods that have less than a 50% success rate. By targeting neurotransmitter imbalances, detoxifying the body, and optimizing nutrition, his method offers a revolutionary path to true healing beyond traditional treatment. To honor him, this conversation highlights his outstanding efforts in understanding and overcoming addiction.   You'll learn more about: Why relapse is more often a result of unaddressed biological imbalances How genetic vulnerabilities and neurotransmitter deficiencies contribute to addiction and coping patterns What you can do to naturally to improve mood and focus How detoxification can accelerate recovery and create long-term healing   For more information and show notes, please visit our website: https://biologyoftrauma.com/biology-of-trauma-podcast/

With either high or low cortisol in menopause, the way you exercise has to change. Yet, this is a  gap in fitness education for trainers, instructors and coaches who don't get training specific to women in menopause. So, whether you're here for yourself or here as a coach or trainer who does now or wants to coach women in midlife and beyond, this episode is for you. In this episode, I talk about the impact of exercise intensity on cortisol and how cortisol is used for the energy to do exercise, cortisol changes that occur in menopause, and what's really wrong with the way we can interpret the signs of high or low cortisol… all so you can avoid making mistakes that might make you worse, or prevent you from ever having an issue in the first place. Questions We Cover in This Episode: Why are high or low cortisol in menopause so prevalent? [00:04:00] What's the difference between someone “apparently healthy” and high or low cortisol? [00:04:30] How would you test to know? [00:11:30] Without testing what does abnormal cortisol feel like? [00:13:50] How does exercise impact cortisol levels? [00:16:30] What mistakes do women (and trainers & coaches) make with exercise recommendations? [00:28:10] Looking at Exercise Science for High or Low Cortisol in Menopause Low-intensity exercise may decrease cortisol levels or keep them steady. Prolonged activity, however, can cause cortisol to rise. Moderate to high-intensity exercise increases cortisol. Prolonged “aerobic” exercise at higher intensities can significantly elevate cortisol concentrations. At about 45 minutes, to less than an hour, cortisol begins to rise significantly above resting levels and then not have the corresponding fall that is beneficial for us. This elevated cortisol response can occur even with exercises you've done for years. With declining estrogen, life itself becomes more stressful. For women engaging in long endurance activities without proper fuel, recovery, or adjustments, results may stall—or even backfire.. This doesn't mean giving up long runs or rides forever but prioritizing muscle, bone, and brain health temporarily. Why Elevated cortisol is indicative of muscle catabolism, increasing the loss of lean muscle tissue. This is a significant health concern for the growing elderly population. The rate of cortisol production changes as we age and has differing responses to exercise intensities in males and females. Cortisol production is correlated with exercise intensity and duration but does not increase the same across all exercise intensities. Higher exercise intensities and duration appear to be the main contributing factors that influence the production of cortisol, increasing the potential for muscle catabolism and muscle loss. The longer the duration, or the higher the intensity, and certainly both combined, the greater the increase in cortisol. Other factors like heat, humidity, intake of carbohydrate and hydration can impact cortisol levels. Last, of course the higher the conditioning level you have the less of a stress response (cortisol rise) you're going to have to the same level of duration or intensity in a deconditioned level. That is, the stress response will occur sooner for the deconditioned than later. Low Cortisol Solutions When Dealing with High or Low Cortisol in Menopause With low cortisol levels (adrenal stress), overtraining is the biggest risk. Small exercise snacks, lower intensity exercise is the first step. Gradually adding in resistance training in short sessions to support blood sugar stabilization is the goal. Monitor to be sure you don't go backward. Keep in mind cortisol and adrenaline are needed to support intense exercise. Your body doesn't currently have it, so high intensity workouts like intervals and metabolic conditioning (bootcamp style) are not favorable for you. You won't benefit from them right now. Low intensity and low volume resistance training would mean lower rep ranges and higher number of sets (3-5) with a few compound exercises. You're going to skip old school advice for 8-10 exercises for each muscle group. High Cortisol Solutions when Dealing with High or Low Cortisol in Menopause Short interval sessions or metabolic conditioning can be effective, but be mindful to keep them short. Start with 1 session and add a second only if it's improving, not draining your energy. These sessions may help reduce cortisol, but going too long, even if it feels good, can backfire. Neurotransmitters may push you to continue, but elevated cortisol and adrenal fatigue will eventually catch up. High cortisol breaks down muscle, so strength training is essential. Use heavier weights and increase your rest time (by using balance exercises, stretches or core) to make the most of your time. The HPA-Axis issue, that is adrenal fatigue, needs time away from longer duration and high intensity workouts to allow the brain and adrenals to start communicating effectively again. It doesn't have to be permanent. Train earlier in the day, balancing sleep and exercise, especially if work adds stress. Overworking, lack of movement, or poor stress management may have contributed to current challenges. Use weekends wisely – skip long workouts and focus on a solid strength session one day and yoga or walking the next. Prioritize earlier sessions that don't require an alarm clock for optimal recovery and hormonal balance. Signs You're Recovering from High or Low Cortisol in Menopause Check Your Appetite: You should have one, but not cravings especially, soon after meals. Appetite can be sluggish with low cortisol and either high or low with high cortisol. Your Energy level: Should be stable throughout the day. For low energy getting up, maca can be a natural support for your own system to self-regulate. It's an herb most women can take, however check if you have had breast cancer, there are some contraindications and a medical advisory board you can check with. I found this super helpful and within a week of taking this felt better back in early 2020. Sleep Should Improve: Whether you struggle to fall asleep, stay asleep or simply are not waking rested, this should begin to improve. (That is, if you're doing your job to prioritize sleep).

Did you know that microbes play a critical role in the production of neurotransmitters? Neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and GABA travel through the nervous system to regulate your mood. Ninety percent of all your serotonin is made in the gut. The vagus nerve acts as a two-way highway between the gut microbiome and the brain. Depression and anxiety can negatively affect the gut microbiome, while problems with the gut can cause depression and anxiety. The good bacteria in the microbiome maintain and support the gut wall and keep bad bacteria in check. Antibiotics, herbicides like glyphosate, junk food, medication, stress, alcohol, pollution, and smoking diminish the microbiome. This results in fewer neurotransmitters, an alteration of blood sugar, the migration of pathogens into the small intestine, SIBO, inflammation, leaky gut, and allergies. Dr. William Davis has developed an amazing protocol for growing your own probiotics. Dr. Davis studied the work of Dr. Irina Conboy, who isolated the benefits of the microbe L. reuteri in experiments with rats. Rats given L. reuteri experience anticancer effects, a better coat, improved healing time, improved muscle tone, increased mating behavior, and an amplified immune system. All the benefits observed in rats also proved true in humans. To make L. reuteri yogurt, combine one probiotic tablet of L. reuteri, inulin prebiotic fiber, and 2 tablespoons of organic half-and-half, and mix into a paste. Once mixed, add a quart of half and half and combine thoroughly. Add this mixture to a yogurt maker and cook at 99 degrees for 36 hours. Consume a half cup per day!

You're just a workout, even a warm up set, away from strength training benefits in menopause. In this episode you will learn or get a refresher on just how soon you can expect to get those immediate results we all crave. Unlike Amazon you can't get them dropped on your doorstep in a few hours, but you will be pleasantly surprised (or reminded) by the fact that some changes happen in seconds. Within Minutes these are Happening: Increased Heart Rate - which means increased blood flow to brain and because of that a decreased level of pain and increased sense of alertness and creativity and problem solving Release of Anabolic Hormones - testosterone and growth hormone blood sugar reduction - it's used for the fuel for the exercise, even 10-15 air squats works so of course, if you're lifting with a load or tempo that causes more muscle stress Release of Neurotransmitters - this occurs more with intense exercise and may take a few minutes but by the end of your workout, dopamine, and Improved Neuroplasticity - if you're trying to learn a new language or absorb new information you might want to push play while you're working out. How to amplify these while you workout? Want more "feel good" hormones ? Play music you love, workout with a friend (and yes, even an exercise video if you feel like the instructor "gets you" and is more than a drill sergeant could do this) Want to take advantage of learning or inspire a little creativity? If you're already working on a project, absorb a little content about it before the workout and don't necessarily dwell on it while you workout. Your brain may actually answer questions you ask while you're taking a break from it. But also, listen to that Spanish lesson or informative podcasts while you exercise. Within days or weeks these strength training benefits occur Reduce Hot Flashes - in the  24 hours after a moderate or higher intensity workout. The same is not true of low or leisurely activity. A 2012 study in the medical journal Menopause. Continued Neural Connection - studies show a large part of initial gains - up to 8-12 weeks of training - are still due to that stronger neural connection. During this time, heavier may not be better, especially for women in midlife with history of injury or tendency toward injury. Blood Sugar Control Improves - reducing insulin resistance issues that negatively impact visceral belly fat, so you will be on the path to reducing total fat as well as directly impacting visceral fat Strength Increases - due primarily to the neural connection as your brain learns or also strengthens the signaling between brain and muscle while you're learning a new movement pattern or waking up an old one. This isn't yet due to size (or hypertrophy) so the first few weeks you may not see noticeable change but you will already be picking up a heavier weight. Fiber Size Increases - after those first weeks and as that neural connection continues, muscle fiber size increases, and you'll likely see more tone as evidence. Changes in Fiber Type - less noted but the anaerobic exercise improves your type two or fast twitch fibers. So important for aging because these are lost without intentional stimulation. These changes will continue and enable more powerful speed and agility work that further enhances your aging process. Tendons And Ligaments Improve - a big bonus for midlife women who have lost estrogen and are thus more prone to injury. You'll be improving resilience in those for every day activities as well as preparing to do heavier work that will be a greater stimulus for bone and metabolism boosts. Over Months and (lasting) Years....these strength training benefits occur Reversed Aging Effects of 179 Genes Associated with Aging - hello game-changer. If you start October 1 by April 1 (no kidding) you'll be younger. Increased Bone Density - with the right progressive protocol (we don't jump in at the end and we can't stay at the beginning if you're able to do more) significant changes take 9 months to a year for the bone remodeling process. But if you're having an annual DEXA (and I highly recommend you do), you'll have noticeable change with strength training as you also fix any gut issues. Reduced Risk of Both Sarcopenia and Osteoporosis in Late Life - muscle and bone loss historically have been issues related to metabolic disease and structural issues related to falls, fractures, bedrest, weakness and injury directly related to falls or consequent falls. Resistance training is proven to decrease this risk. But ? Pilates and yoga may be on the continuum... they are on the left... not the right. Psst. Sarcopenia and osteoporosis BOTH begin in your 30s. Muscle peaks at 25, bone at about 30. Losses of each begin around 30 and 35, respectively. Think about what you were doing. Were you consuming adequate protein? Doing high impact and high intensity resistance training? Were you prioritizing sleep? Or were you on weight loss diets one after the other, skipping meals or skimping on calories, or making poor choices? You may have been doing the best you knew then, or may have been ignoring best in search of short cuts to skinnier obsessions so many women have. You can support a young woman from making the same mistake. Her bones could be better thanks to you.
