In this episode I'm going to be covering how I guide women to get HPV virus to negative and keep it negative. I feel is extremely important for women around the world to know that it is possible to support your body to clear HPV. What is HPV? HPV is the human papilloma virus and it's a very widespread virus. Most all of us will be exposed to it at some point in our lives, and it's associated with risk of cancer - cervical cancer, vaginal cancer, anal cancer, oral cancer and in men, penile cancer. More and more women around the world are finding out that they're positive for the HPV virus. I think that the standard medical system is not doing enough to help these women to address this virus and prevent it from causing abnormal cells. Right now, what's happening around the world is medical practitioners will do a pap smear to test for abnormal cells on the cervix, which is important because this way we can identify abnormal cells hopefully before they turn into cancer. Then, if severely abnormal cells are present, practitioners will remove the abnormal cells or remove the area where the abnormal cells are located. The issue is that these procedures don't kill the virus so it can continue to cause abnormal cells over and over again. Many women are going through years of addressing abnormal cells caused by HPV without practitioners being able to help them prevent it. This is really upsetting to me because for more than 20 years I have been helping women address this virus and get it to negative so it stops causing abnormal cells. Through many years of practice, I have been able to identify a protocol based on what I find to be effective at successfully helping women eliminate the virus and be free of the risk of cancer caused by HPV. You Need a Strategic Plan to Get Rid of HPV What I find helps is to make a very clear and strategic plan. A plan that can guide women out of the state of stress that is caused by HPV and into a heroine's journey of healing and supporting their bodies to protect them from the virus. We know that the human body can fend off HPV. This has been shown and proven. So, what I find is helpful is to start with the question: why is it that for some women their body is not fending off the virus? And when we ask that question, we start to uncover susceptibilities. These susceptibilities are leaving women vulnerable and if we don't address them, the virus can remain positive for years. Studies show that having a diagnosis of HPV increases the level of stress for women. This is because there's so much misinformation and lack of guidance around this virus. Women are then stuck in a state of fear and stress, and that stress actually ends up increasing the risk of cancer. What we need to do is understand how stress impacts us each as individuals so that we can then reverse those effects. For me, the best way to identify susceptibilities is to think about it in terms of how stress, trauma, and potentially abuse in a person's lifetime has then had an impact on their mind and body, which is then leaving them vulnerable because of the imbalances caused by stress. If we can identify those imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and other effects of stress, and address them, we can rebalance and give the body what it needs to heal. Then the body can fend off HPV. I've seen this in my patients time and time again. What Are the Common Susceptibilities to HPV and How Stress and Trauma Play a Role Let's start with stress. When we're exposed to stress and trauma (even from our childhood and not just psycho emotional stress, but also physical stress, toxins, infections, injuries, etc.) we are exposed to a whole cascade of reactions in our bodies. We do have a healthy stress response system that helps protect us from stress, but the issue is that often we're exposed to ongoing stress and so our stress response system never gets a break. We are living in a constant state of stress or what I call stress mode. We're going from one thing on our To Do List to the next. We have work, we have family responsibilities, we have financial responsibilities, we go from waking up in the morning to going to bed at night and we hardly have a chance to do any kind of stress recovery. What happens in that situation is it disrupts our stress hormones (our stress hormones get stuck either too high or too low) cortisol and adrenaline. These hormones are made by the adrenal glands and what happens is our adrenal glands go into a state of dysfunction which has a negative influence on our bodies. If cortisol or adrenaline are either too high or too low, your body is experiencing it as if you're still in that stressful situation because the hormones are reflecting a stress response. So, in order to heal we need to get the cortisol and adrenaline back to optimal and effectively erase all traces of the impact of stress on your stress hormones and your physiology. If your cortisol and adrenaline remain too high or too low, it can cause other disruptions in the body which then also make you susceptible to HPV. For example, digestion can get disrupted by stress and cortisol or adrenaline imbalance. We can develop something called leaky gut where our food is leaking through the intestinal wall and triggering food sensitivities and inflammation. We end up not digesting our food well, not absorbing our nutrients, which leads to nutrient deficiencies, weakening our immune system and our body's ability to fend off HPV. This also results in imbalances in the gut microbiome, and we know now from research that there is a connection between the gut microbiome and the vaginal biome. When there's an imbalance in the vaginal microbiome, bacteria and yeast can overgrow, inflammation increases, and this all increases the risk of HPV. In addition to disrupting digestion and vaginal health, stress and imbalanced stress hormones can also disrupt our other hormones including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA. This also leaves us susceptible to HPV. Thyroid and insulin function can get disrupted by stress, leaving us susceptible to HPV. Imbalances in our blood sugar levels can increase the risk of HPV as well as other health issues. Irregularities in the menstrual cycle (irregular periods, heavy periods, and fibroids) caused by stress can lead to anemia from heavy bleeding. Anemia can be due to iron deficiency, B12 and/or folate deficiency. All of these nutrients are important for helping to fend off HPV. Also our neurotransmitters become depleted when we ae under stress. Serotonin and GABA (our calming neurotransmitters that help us counterbalance stress) become depleted which means we're even more affected by stress. Dopamine can also be affected by stress. Toxins as a stress are an issue because they can disrupt the digestion and microbiome, and also decrease antioxidants in the body, overwhelming liver detoxification, which can also affect the way that we detoxify estrogens, adrenaline and other toxins. In this way, toxin exposure makes us susceptible to HPV. Other infections including COVID can make us susceptible to HPV. There's now research showing that the COVID virus, which most of us have been exposed to, can increase the risk of HPV related cervical cancer. Any trauma and abuse we might have been through makes us susceptible to HPV. Particularly narcissistic abuse has been shown to increase risk of HPV related cancer, so if you have any kind of history of abusive relationships whether in childhood, in your work environment, or in your intimate relationships, that also increases the risk. How to Recover from Stress to Get Rid of HPV We can recover from stress. It is not about getting to zero stress. Some stress is necessary and even healthy for us to function. It's about giving your body the support it needs to recover from stress. To do that we need to first identify how stress has affected you uniquely, we need to figure out what it is for you and what we can do to help your body recover. The first step is to do some testing that we can get from standard labs and blood work. We just need to be able to know exactly which test to order which is what I guide women to do in order to help them identify nutrient deficiencies and hormone imbalances. From there we're going to need to use some specialty tests if we want to know if there is leaky gut and food sensitivities, or if we want to know cortisol and adrenaline levels throughout the day. Then we can address them very specifically. The treatment is different for high cortisol than for low cortisol for example, so we need to know what's happening for you specifically. A good way to start is with my stress type quiz. In this quiz I guide you through questions that help us discover your imbalance of cortisol and adrenaline, which is what I call your stress type. Now, if you really want to know exactly what your cortisol and adrenaline are up to, you're going to want to do a urine and saliva test through my office. This way we can identify your exact levels and then I can help you to get those levels back to optimal. In doing so we effectively eliminate any traces of the impact of stress and we support your body to clear HPV, as well as many other health issues. What About Supplements and Natural Remedies for HPV? The strategic plan to get rid of HPV plan includes natural substances in addition to recovery from stress. There are a number of nutrients and herbs that support the immune system and others that are directly antiviral. Some of them you've probably heard about but the issue I find is that most women who come to meet with me are not taking clinically effective doses to get HPV to negative. So, what I do is guide you to determine the best doses for you. Because of my background and my experience, I know which substances and doses are going to be most effective. The important thing here is to individualize it for you. Otherwise, you'll keep trying and trying, not getting anywhere, feeling more frustrated, and HPV will still be there. Sometimes it does require that you persevere, that you put yourself into this vulnerable state of prioritizing yourself and looking at the routines in your life and what is your body telling you. We have to learn to listen to the signals our bodies are giving us and have awareness also for our thoughts and our emotions. This is why I also encourage women to learn mind-body techniques even as simple as breathwork, biofeedback, guided imagery and meditation, because we can use these tools not only to be anti-stress signals to your body, but also to guide your body in the direction you want it to go. We change from a state of fear and stress to a state of being empowered and in charge of our health. I call this the heroine's journey. If you are dealing with HPV and you've been trying everything you can find and you're looking for more solutions to get this virus to leave you alone, whether you currently have abnormal cells or not, whether you have mild, moderate, or severe abnormal cells, or potentially even cancer cells, I can still help you to get this virus to stop and to go to negative, so you can move on with your life. Just imagine if we could actually decrease the rates of cervical cancer from third most common cancer to off the list. I believe that it's absolutely possible to decrease risk of all different kinds of cancer associated with HPV by implementing this approach, thinking it through, using the science and the clinical information to help more women get rid of this virus for good.

Many of us can relate to feeling like there's just too much, that whatever we're doing is never enough, that the things we're facing are more than we can bear. We live in a culture that is constantly calling us to more and that asks us to continually be at the top of our game. On this week's podcast, we talk about why so many of us revert to numbing when we begin to feel those feelings of overwhelm, stress, and exhaustion. We examine how the contemplative life can help us in the midst of these difficult emotions and experiences. And we consider the possibility that there may be some positive things we can do to numb that can ultimately lead to feeling satisfied, fulfilled, and rested.

My guest specialist, Loretta Breuning PhD, founded the Inner Mammal Institute. She has spent the last decade really looking at the ways that our brains are wired. She's created a podcast of her own to help support folks on their journeys to rewiring. The good news is that we are capable of making big, profound changes in our lives. The harder news is that it takes time, commitment, and discipline. Part of what makes us human though is our capacity to rewire, retrain, and recreate our brains to be in service to more consciousness. Loretta explains the role of the different feel good chemicals in our brain. Serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, and also endorphins have historic roles in helping keep us alive. Similarly, the stress chemical, cortisol plays an important role in our survival. Looking at the ways that these chemicals served our mammalian ancestors gives us greater perspective about the ways that we have evolved to use these chemicals. And Loretta's work with the Inner Mammal Institute is all about how we can use this knowledge to live better. In my own life and reflections, I am somewhat of a perennial seeker, looking to grow. And, I am so impressed by the research the Loretta has done. I hope that you'll enjoy our conversation and begin to train your own brain!

Join me in October for the 4th Shift Daily DOSE.Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphins are all the 'feel good' chemicals that are associated with exercise and general happiness.  Each morning in October I'll be doing a short bout of exercise to give myself a DOSE.The parameters of the month are very simple; pick 5 movements you like and then each day you pick one and do between 20 and 100 of it.  That's the starting point.  Some days you might feel good and do 100 of every movement, and some days 20 bodyweight squats might feel like an impossible undertaking.If it seems too easy, loose, or generic to be worth your time, I'd say those are the exact reasons I like it so much!  Take this skeleton of a program and make it yours to see the most value.The time and effort commitment are both extremely low but the effects of building consistency and routine are giant.Look for more info and graphics on the Daily DOSE on the 4th Shift Firefighter IG.Support the showSupport the show directly here: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/4thshiftfiEPlease order your favorite products through my affiliate links:Rescue1CBD https://rescue1cbd.com?ref=509Use code TAILBOARD for 15% offAthletic Brewing- Code TTFP10 for 10% off for new customersThen use: https://athletic-brewing-co.sjv.io/c/4029326/889587/12298?campaign=affiliate%20%3Dcontent%3Donline_tracking_link to continue to support the show with your purchases.For topic/guest requests use this form https://www.4thshiftfitness.com/guestformFor all other things, reach out here: https://www.4thshiftfitness.com/contactThank you for listening and let's all keep working to be more capable and durable both on shift and away from it.

The science of gratitude is a burgeoning field within psychology and neuroscience that explores the profound impact of expressing and experiencing gratitude on human well-being. Research has shown that practicing gratitude can lead to a multitude of positive outcomes, including improved mental health, increased life satisfaction, and enhanced relationships. This phenomenon is believed to be rooted in the brain's reward system, where expressing thanks triggers the release of feel-good neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. Additionally, cultivating gratitude is associated with reduced stress and greater resilience, making it a valuable tool for promoting overall emotional and psychological health. As scientists delve deeper into the mechanisms and benefits of gratitude, its role in promoting a happier and more fulfilling life becomes increasingly evident.

It took me a long time of struggling myself before I realized that a large part of our mental health & wellness hinges on how well we understood our nutritional status and lifestyle habits. I sat down with Dr. Kate Henry of Rupa Health to untangle this intriguing question and discovered a multitude of insights that may be the key to unlocking a healthier, more balanced, mental state. We explored the pivotal roles of overall health, nutrient status, hormonal status, and fitness on mental health, and how they can be leveraged to both prevent and treat mental health issues.Check Out Dr. Kate + RUPA HEALTHPractitioners: CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP with Rupa or head to Rupahealth.comConsumers: Head to www.Drtyna.com/labsOn This Episode We Cover:0:06:25 - Nutrition's Impact on Mental Health 0:14:53 - SSRIs' Impact on Serotonin and Inflammation 0:21:43 - Importance of B6 in Dopamine Production 0:31:01 - Zinc in Beef 0:34:48 - Omega-3s and Anger 0:44:15 - Teaching Nutrition and Whole Food Importance 0:50:16 - The Role of GABA and Nutrition0:58:10 - Depression Among Vegetarians 1:11:38 - Special Diet Meal Planning Tool 1:17:46 - Functional Medicine and Role of Technology1:40:40 - The Power of Exercise and Nutrition Sponsored By:RUPA HEALTHPractitioners: CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP with Rupa or head to Rupahealth.com and let them know Dr. Tyna sent you!Consumers: Head to www.Drtyna.com/labsALITURAUse Code DRTYNA for 20% offPALEO VALLEYFor 15% off go to http://paleovalley.com/drtynaLMNTGet 8 FREE packs with any order at drinkLMNT.com/drtynaHead to www.Drtyna.com for the following offers:Grab my FREE GUIDE to Assess Your Metabolic Health.Check out my Metabolic Revamp Toolkit for a deeper dive.Join me inside my Private Membership/Strength Training PortalDisclaimer: Information provided in this blog/podcast is for informational purposes only.

Join this insightful conversation to ignite your passion for life, explore your desires, and enhance your overall well-being. Also in this episode: Passion provides a range of benefits, including bonding, connection, stress relief, release, and exercise. Serotonin is the hormone of connection and happiness, and it can be boosted by consuming quality protein, such as turkey and salmon, and practicing gratitude. Oxytocin is the hormone of ecstasy, orgasm, bonding, and childbirth. Activities like hugging, massage, touch, and quality time can increase oxytocin levels. Dopamine is the hormone of fulfillment and accomplishment. It can be supported by healthy protein intake, quality fats, gut health, exercise, and celebrating achievements. Cultivating desire and pleasure starts with noticing and acknowledging what brings you pleasure in various aspects of life, not just sexually. Developing a pleasure-positive mindset is crucial for experiencing fulfillment and pleasure in all aspects of life.   Apply today for a free consult with Maraya to receive a personalized plan: https://share.hsforms.com/1Y59wqx-JRhKl8F-TbECbRwcr1a5   Subscribe To The Women's Vibrancy Code: Women's Health And Wellness w/Maraya Brown: Apple Podcast | YouTube | Spotify Connect With The Show: Facebook Page | Linkedin | Website | Tiktok | Facebook Group Make A Connection Call With Maraya Brown: Click here to book   About Maraya Brown: Maraya is a Yale and Functional Medicine Trained Women's Health And Wellness Expert CNM, MSN with her undergraduate degree in marketing.

Human beings are programmed to approach pleasure and avoid pain. It's an instinct that dates back millions of years, to a time when people needed to actively seek food, clothing and shelter every day, or risk death.Dopamine Nation talks about the importance of living a balanced life in relation to all the pleasure and stimuli we're surrounded with on a daily basis, such as drugs, devices, porn, gambling facilities, showing us how to avoid becoming dopamine addicts by restricting our access to them. Here are my three favorite lessons from the book:Misery turns humans into pleasure addicts who can't deal with discomfort.Our brains build resistance to dopamine over time, and that's a bad thing. Ironically, pain can help us tap into our dopamine reserves. Lesson 1: Dopamine addiction follows from our desire to stop feeling miserable.Lesson 2: Constantly fulfilling our dopamine cravings leads to neuroadaptation.Lesson 3: Using pain as a dopamine source can promote our well-being.

“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10 That's a command for all of us, but some of us find it easier to do than others. I do a lot of neurotransmitter testing in my practice: urine testing for brain signaling chemicals, including serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, GABA, glycine, and glutamate. I used to simply feed the appropriate pathways with the precursors if they were low, and feed the enzymes for metabolism if one was too high, to try to balance things out. I still do that to an extent, but I've also started to recognize patterns. Sometimes a neurotransmitter test can suggest to me that someone is low in some of the cofactors (vitamins or minerals) for certain pathways. Other times, it can suggest that there's a common genetic predisposition to metabolizing neurotransmitters in a particular way. I also used to do a lot more genetic testing than I currently do (for a variety of reasons, though it can still be useful). Sometimes the genetics can tell me that someone will tend to make an excessive amount of a particular neurotransmitter, or that they don't tend to make enough of it, or that they tend to break it down really fast, or break it down really slowly. That can help inform what I see on neurotransmitter testing, and how I might go about trying to maintain balance, once we've achieved it. There are certain personality types, as well as patterns of thinking, that go along with patterns of neurotransmitters. Serotonin and dopamine tend to be an especially striking see-saw. Those with high (but not too high) serotonin tend to be very laid back and in the moment. Those with high (but not too high) dopamine tend to be very driven, always checking off their to-do list, and then moving straight on to the next thing. Too much of either one, or too little of either one, can lead to a particular type of anxiety or depression. Those with excessively high (but more often excessively low) norepinephrine or epinephrine (together known as adrenaline) tend to be jumpy, and constantly in fight-or flight mode. Usually I see this pattern in people who have been stressed out for a long time. Some of these patterns can be explained by the genetics, but it's also true that neurotransmitters and thoughts are a "chicken-or-egg" scenario: which comes first? We all are familiar with the downward spiral of negative thinking: the more you do it, the harder it is to stop. I think this is why Paul told us to take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ," (2 Cor 10:5), and then to think on "whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." Phil 4:8. We do have a choice--but our habitual thinking makes this easier or harder to do. A few years ago I read a fascinating book called "The Molecule of More" by Daniel Lieberman. It fleshed out not so much the acute imbalances, but the personality types that go with certain patterns. Lieberman categorizes norepinephrine, along with serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins, as “here and now,” or H&N neurotransmitters, meaning they help with enjoyment of the moment and satisfaction in one's actual, current experience. By contrast, the neurotransmitter dopamine is all about novelty and desire (it is the "Molecule of More," as in always wanting more). The moment that a pleasure is no longer unexpected, or a goal is achieved, dopamine is quenched. The enjoyment associated with expected pleasures or enjoying what one already possesses requires the H&N neurotransmitters–and certain kinds of people are predisposed more toward one over the other. The highest achievers in history tended to be very dopamine dominant, with all its attendant benefits and pitfalls. They are constantly driven, and usually obsessed with achievement and efficiency–but this also means they are rarely “happy”, where happiness is defined by satisfaction with what they actually have. Many of them are more susceptible to affairs and divorce, because for them, it's more about the thrill of the chase than the actual relationship. They often care for humanity in the abstract, but have little patience with individual people. But on the plus side, they also are quite resilient to adversity and change, since novelty produces the dopamine spike they crave. On the flip side, those more predisposed genetically to the H&N neurotransmitters tend to be happier and more content, and to have stronger interpersonal relationships, but far less driven to achievement, and less resilient to the stress of change. Lieberman doesn't argue that either is "better" than the other per se; each has their own strengths and weaknesses (and he also makes the fascinating argument that one's political leanings can often be affiliated with certain patterns of neurochemistry, too). If you tend toward the H&N neurotransmitters, you'll find it much easier to "be still and know" that He is God, but you might have a harder time seeking out and performing the good works that He has prepared for you to do (Eph 2:10). If this is you, you'll probably do much better with accountability partners and little hacks to keep you motivated. (Another great book for building habits for success, particularly if you're not otherwise inclined to do so, is "Atomic Habits" by James Clear.) If you tend more toward dopamine dominance, you'll likely be an internally motivated high performer who accomplishes a great deal, but you'll struggle to be satisfied with what you've achieved. (A great book that might help with this mentality is "The Gap and the Gain," by Dan Sullivan and Dr Benjamin Hardy.) You'll also likely find it much harder to meditate, and to stop and enjoy the moment--but you're the type of personality that really needs to prioritize the habit of silence and stillness. I prioritize it by setting a timer on my phone, and five minutes a day, I'll close my eyes and picture myself at the beach with Jesus--sometimes meditating on verses, other times just being there, and bringing wandering thoughts back to the mental sound of the waves. I also tend to multitask--and I enjoy it, but I know it can go too far. I have to be intentional about choosing silence: running outside (when it's not blisteringly hot) without headphones, so that I can pray instead. Sometimes completing rote tasks in silence, and choosing prayer and meditation. Some more verses on this topic: "You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is stayed on You because he trusts in You," Isaiah 26:3. "I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done." Psalm 143:5 "I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds.” Psalm 77:11-12 "My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to one's whole body." Prov 4:20-22 "Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers." Psalm 1:1-3.

Regulating your mental state, especially in times of feeling triggered, can be quite  challenging. How do you bring yourself back, without continuing to feel reliant on others?Or even worse, feeling like you're asking for help and not getting what you need.  In the trauma informed wellness world, we speak about this concept of "self regulation", which is a way to calm your nervous system without being dependent on the outside world to help you in times of distress. To literally, regulate yourself in a way that feels safe and nurturing to your emotions, so you can be there for yourself and break the cycle of self-abandonment. (Listen to my last episode on this if you haven't already!) In this episode, I will uncover 4 powerful ways to self-regulate + naturally produce Serotonin, which is a chemical that carries messages between nerve cells in the brain and throughout your body. Serotonin plays a key role in such body functions as mood, sleep, digestion, nausea, wound healing, bone health, and sexual desire - and has a longer lasting effect than Dopamine - which is a sense of temporary pleasure, or that quick fix! Stay tuned towards the end of the episode where I do a live 3-card reading from Rebecca Campbell's oracle deck, The Healing Waters, for the New Moon in Cancer this week. Regardless of when you listen, the resonance of these cards will help you anytime you are ready for a FRESH START! Support the showConnect with me: Join my Live Vibrant Sisterhood - we kick off this August 2023!

Mice with microglia missing receptors for the neurotransmitter serotonin since birth have too many synapses and show social difficulties in adulthood.

In this episode, my guest is Robert Malenka, MD, PhD, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford School of Medicine who has made numerous seminal discoveries of how the brain changes (neuroplasticity) in response to learning and in response to rewarding and reinforcing experiences. We discuss the brain's several reward systems involving dopamine and serotonin and how these motivate us to seek out specific behaviors and substances. We discuss how these reward systems are modified based on context and our memories, and how they can be hijacked toward maladaptive drug seeking in addiction. We also explore how reward systems influence social connections, oxytocin and empathy and how that applies to our understanding of autism spectrum disorders. This episode should be of interest to those interested in neuroplasticity, social bonding, addiction, autism learning and motivation. For the full show notes, visit hubermanlab.com.

Summer has begun!  Jon and Abby talk about the mental health benefits of the sun, and the summer, and the role serotonin plays in health and happiness.

Fast ein halbes Jahrhundert lang haben die Universitäten in den USA gezielt schwarze Studienanwärter gefördert. Affirmative Action nennt sich dieses Prinzip. Nun hat der Oberste Gerichtshof es für verfassungswidrig erklärt: Künftig darf die Hautfarbe bei der Auswahl der Bewerber keine Rolle mehr spielen. Das Urteil reiht sich ein in eine lange Liste polarisierender Entscheidungen, die das republikanisch dominierte Gericht im vergangenen Jahr getroffen hat. Kann man da noch von Gewaltenteilung sprechen? Oder ist der Oberste Gerichtshof viel mehr zu einem Parteiorgan der Republikaner geworden? Antwort auf diese Frage gibt Rieke Havertz, internationale Korrespondentin von ZEIT ONLINE. Warum werden Menschen depressiv? Die gängige Erklärung ist ein Mangel an Serotonin. Falsch, sagt eine Forschergruppe um die Psychiaterin Joanna Moncrieff, nachdem sie im vergangenen Jahr 17 Studien ausgewertet hat. Ein brisantes Ergebnis, denn die meisten Antidepressiva greifen in den Serotoninstoffwechsel ein. Nun haben andere Wissenschaftler die Arbeit kritisiert - sie weise technische Mängel auf. Welche Ursachen Depressionen tatsächlich haben und ob Antidepressiva dagegen helfen oder nicht, hat Tom Kattwinkel aus dem ZEIT-ONLINE-Gesundheitsressort recherchiert. Im Podcast berichtet er von seinen Erkenntnissen.

My guests are pioneers in retraining the inner mammal. I love learning from them! Listen in and subscribe so you can turn on your happy chemicals in healthy new ways.Your host, Loretta Breuning PhD, is founder of the Inner Mammal Institute and author of "Habits of a Happy Brain: Retrain your brain to boost your serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin and endorphin levels.” Details at: https://innermammalinstitute.orgLife is more peaceful and satisfying when you understand the brain we've inherited from earlier mammals. Your mammal brain controls the chemicals that make you feel good: dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphin. These chemicals are released for reasons that don't make sense to our verbal human brain. When you know what these chemicals do in animals, your ups and downs make sense!Our happy chemicals evolved to reward survival behavior, not to make you feel good all the time. Each happy chemical has a special job. When it turns on, it paves neural pathways that turn it on more easily in the future. That's why we repeat behaviors that we'd rather do without. Fortunately, you can re-wire yourself to stimulate them in sustainable ways.But it's hard. It's like learning a foreign language: it takes a lot of repetition. Yet people do it every day. You can be one of them! You can design a new path to your happy chemicals and repeat it until it's strong enough to turn on easily. The Inner Mammal Institute shows you how.The Inner Mammal Institute has free resources to help you make peace with your inner mammal: videos, blogs, infographics, and podcasts. Dr. Breuning's books explain the big picture and help you plot your course step by step. No matter where you are right now, you can enjoy more happy chemicals in healthy ways.

In this episode, I discuss Methyl​enedioxy​methamphetamine (MDMA), which is also commonly known as “ecstasy” or “molly,” including how it works in the brain to cause short- and long- term-shifts in emotional processing and its clinical applications for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), alcohol and other substance-use addictions. I discuss the neuronal mechanisms for how MDMA elevates mood, empathy, motivation, social engagement, and empathy, and reduces “threat detection” and how these effects can synergistically support talk therapy. I also explain the ongoing debate about the potential neurotoxicity of MDMA, myths about the origins and treatments for post-MDMA “crash,” the evolving legal landscape around MDMA use for clinical purposes, and I caution recreational users about the extremely dangerous additives (e.g., fentanyl) now commonly found in black market MDMA. This should be of interest to those curious about MDMA, neuropharmacology, the origins of emotional processing in the brain, empathy, PTDS, neuroplasticity, mental health and psychiatry.
