Podcasts about Serotonin

Most people try to “heal” their brain with supplements, mindset, or meditation—but this episode reveals the deeper protocol to actually grow a new brain, reverse stress damage, activate 1,100 healing genes, and unlock higher human performance at any age. You'll learn how neuroplasticity, mitochondria repair, plant-based NRF2 activators, and energetic practices work together to rebuild the brain and extend longevity. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D.—medical anthropologist, neuroscientist, energy medicine pioneer, and founder of The Four Winds Society, the gold-standard school for modern shamans. He has spent 25+ years studying Amazonian and Andean healing traditions, led the Biological Self-Regulation Lab at San Francisco State University to explore psychosomatic medicine, and authored more than 25 bestselling books on neuroscience, functional medicine, and energy healing. Few people on earth bridge ancient biohacking and modern brain science at this level. He also reveals the forms of nicotine that are safest (spoiler: it's not vapes or cigarettes), how nicotine works at the receptor level, and what the science says about long-term health effects. This episode blends functional medicine, brain optimization, and biohacking into one powerful, myth-busting breakdown. You'll learn: • How to grow a new brain every 22 days using neuroplasticity and mitochondria support • Why plant medicines and NRF2 activators can turn on 1,100 healing genes in 24 hours • The surprising link between nootropics, psychedelics, serotonin, and endogenous DMT • How mindset, belief systems, and placebo/nocebo shape immune function and metabolism • Why RFK's chronic disease warning connects to viral evolution and immune collapse • The real reason carnivore diets work—and when they fail without gut repair • Peptides, GLP-1 agonists, and the future of functional medicine hacking • Why most people sabotage themselves and how to stop fighting your own biology This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, human performance, and longevity, and for those who want to understand how functional biology and mitochondrial science are redefining recovery, energy, and aging. Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade brings you the knowledge to take control of your biology, extend your longevity, and optimize every system in your body and mind.

In this episode, I'm celebrating six incredible years of Raising Serotonin! I take a look back at where it all started,  during one of the most challenging times in my life,  and how this podcast has evolved alongside my own personal growth. I open up about what I've learned through the ups and downs, the lessons that shaped me, and the role this community has played in helping me grow into the person I am today.Over the past six years, Raising Serotonin has become more than just a podcast to me. It's been a space for healing, connection, and honest conversations about mental health, self-love, and becoming your best self through small, consistent shifts.As I look ahead, I'm so grateful for every single one of you who's been part of this journey. Here's to continuing to grow, learn, and raise serotonin together. FOLLOW RAISING SEROTONIN ON INSTAGRAM HERE Support the show

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog The summer of 2025, the US has experienced record heat. Most Americans have been under a severe heat warning for months, which has caused me to review the symptoms, prevention and treatment for Heat Stroke.  This summer's heat was unusual, however it may recur in the future, so we must learn to deal with the effect of prolonged exposure to dangerous heat. Heat stroke is not classically a stroke as you know it, however heat stroke is a condition of a different kind, but no less deadly.  The conditions that can lead to heat stroke are listed below. Please think of these signs of Heat Stroke before you go outside in severe heat. At Risk Conditions for heat Stroke: High ambient temperature High body temperature (body temp of 104 or more) High humidity, Prolonged sun exposure (more than an hour at a time) Dehydration Loss of electrolytes through sweating which can result in heart attacks, seizures delirium and can lead to death. The hot weather we have been experiencing has been prolonged and has  all the qualities described above that may lead to heat stroke: Temperatures above 90 degrees Fahrenheit, High Humidity (over 50%), Bright sunshine, causing body temp to rise rapidly and continue for a long time even after a person has gone inside to cool off in air conditioning. You Should be aware of the beginning signs of heat stroke so you can remove yourself from the heat before it becomes an emergency, and you can protect your family from heat stroke. The early signs/symptoms of heat stroke include: Heavy sweating/ or no sweating at all Thirst Weakness of muscles Headache And Dizziness When you develop these symptoms, please listen to the signs your body is sending you and seek a cool place inside away from heat and sunlight. If the symptoms don't resolve quickly, then take the steps below to prevent progression of symptoms to result in heat stroke. Lie down (heat stroke can cause you lose consciousness and hurt yourself if you pass out) Drink cool but not cold water continually Drink Electrolytes (preferably products that contain Potassium, and sodium, chloride, magnesium) with every other 12oz of water. If you don't have electrolytes, Gatorade can be substituted for electrolytes (It is only Potassium). If you are unprepared and away from civilization, put several shakes of salt into a glass of cool water and drink it. Apply icepacks on the areas of the body that can cool you quickly: Underarms, groin, and neck. This will cool your body down faster than just sitting in a cool space. Don't be alone. Ask someone to sit with you in case you pass out or seize, and they can call 911 to take you to the ER. They can also make sure you continue to drink water and take electrolytes. If you feel your headache or weakness getting worse call 911 yourself. That is a late sign of Heat Stroke. Lastly, Heat stroke can make a person act out, with a temporary personality change. The affected person can hit and push the people trying to help him or her. That means they are in the late stage of heat stroke, and they need IV fluids a cooling blanket and Medical help. Remember, heat stroke can be deadly, and immediate action must be taken. If you or someone else has the following symptoms, then Call 911: passes out or seizes, gets confused and wanders around, acts out and hits or pushes has a rapid heart rate, has a bounding pulse, has either hot dry or very damp skin, complains of a headache or dizziness, nausea, vomiting rapid shallow breathing, like panting Often, they will complain of feeling cold and they shiver even though the temperature is very hot. Don't Wait!  call 911! In these cases, tell the 911 operator that you suspect heat stroke. So how do you prevent heat stroke? There are many ways to prevent heat stroke, if you recognize the conditions outside will put you at risk. First determine whether you are at high risk (below are the risks). Anyone can get heat stroke but people with the following conditions will develop heat stroke faster and more severely than healthy young individuals. The following conditions should best be treated by staying in a cool area inside away from the sun. Know the Symptoms of heat stroke and follow the directions listed above. Prepare yourself for heatstroke by carrying electrolytes more water than you think you will need, plastic zip locks to put ice in if needed High Risk Medical Conditions and Medications  Previous History of a Heat Stroke The biggest risk for heat stroke is having had it in the past.  People who have a history of heat stroke should be extra careful to avoid going outside or exercising in the heat and humidity.  They should stay inside during the heat of the day or on days that put them at risk. If you have almost had a mild form that you acted promptly and were able to avert the severe symptoms, that still makes you at risk for heat stroke. Heart Disease or other Circulatory medical conditions Diseases of the circulatory system place you at risk for getting a more severe form of heat stroke more quickly, so limit your time in the heat. Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Imbalance, from genetics or medications Disease of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems that cause excessive fluid loss due to sweating or increased body heat can cause you to develop heat stroke with less time in the heat and sun.  These conditions affect your ability to sweat, which is the way humans cool themselves down. Patients with these diseases don't sweat to cool yourself down like other people.  Stay inside until the temperature and humidity is safer. Age above 50 We all know that we are not as physically able as we age, even if we use testosterone pellets, so older age is a risk factor. Please limit your time outside in dangerous conditions to one hour at a time with 10 minutes or more inside a cool place before going back outside.  Medications that put you at risk for heat stroke when exposed to heat and humidity You may be unaware of the risk that some medications have when it comes to heat stroke.  Medications are part of our lives and most of the time we don't think about them causing problems or side effects, but many types of relatively safe medications can cause you to have heat stroke when the other folks around you are completely normal. My Experience with Heat Stroke I was playing golf in August in St. Louis, when the starting temperature at 8:30 am was 88 degrees F, and the humidity was 65%.  Being me, I thought to myself,” Well I'm in good shape because I have minimal body fat and good muscles, I should be able to golf with 3 other women even in this heat.” That day the humidity increased to 80% and the temp was over 90. Then the Pro announced that we had to stay on the cart path.  Well that makes golf a lot harder…,it takes twice as many steps  during a round and it requires even more exertion than walking the course and dragging a bag behind you….but I'm not a quitter (but clearly I was not thinking about being sick and taking my life in my hands)…which means I was stupid! I want all of you to be smarter than I was! Right away I started sweating profusely so much so that I had to change my golf glove three times in 6 holes. I still felt ok, but I couldn't hit the ball as far as usual, and I continued to sweat.  Despite 7 bottles of water, 2 with electrolytes, I started getting a headache, and then I couldn't make contact with the golf ball. My balance was off….” Uh-oh,” I thought, “it's happening”….At that point I knew I had to go inside but was far away from the club house.  I continued one more hole and I was dizzy and had poor balance….so I quit, and I drove the cart back to the club house not finishing the 9 holes. I sat inside, drank water took another packet of electrolytes and put ice packs under my arms and laid down in the women's locker room until my headache was bearable, but I knew I was not going to be productive the rest of the day. It took 24 hours of lying down in a cool room, drinking quarts of water and taking electrolytes, putting ice around my neck and head, and doing nothing else! I kept thinking “why did the heat and humidity affect me and not the other 3 women?” We are all in good shape for our ages 60-70, and we all exercise and lift weights as well as play golf a few times a week, so I thought about what my risk factors were. Finally, I checked out all the medications and supplements I am on and found that  some of them  put me at risk!  This incident made me look up the all the meds that can impact people and increase their risk of getting heat stroke. Medications That Increase Risk of Heat Stroke Diuretics- Spironolactone is a diuretic given to all women who take T pellets to prevent facial hair and acne. It can cause dehydration in hot weather unless enough water, and electrolytes are taken to replenish body fluids. Other reasons for taking a diuretic is hypertension, heart disease, swelling, and poor circulation.  eg Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) and Maxide are diuretics. Beta Blockers- such as Metoprolol, Propranolol slow down the heartbeat and reduce blood pressure.  The actions of Beta blockers slow the cooling mechanism of the body. Antidepressants- There ae many types of antidepressants but the “Serotonin-reuptake-inhibitors” such as Lexapro, and Wellbutrin can increase the risk of Heat Stroke, but the mechanism is not known. Amphetamines like ADD medicine, Sleep Apnea drugs, and old-fashioned weight loss pills speed up the heart rate, increase baseline body temperature and decrease the body's ability to cool itself. Thyroid Replacement-Thyroid replacement increases the heat produced by muscle tissue therefore it increases body temperature. This causes a patient on thyroid to have fewer degrees to get to a critical body temperature. I will leave you with the warning that hot weather can kill you and knowing the signs and symptoms of Heat Stroke is the first step toward helping yourself and others avoid the worst consequences. If you have medical conditions or take medications that increase your risk of developing heat stroke you should spend most of your time indoors staying cool when heat and humidity is highest. I will leave you with the warning that hot weather can kill you and knowing the signs and symptoms of Heat Stroke is the first step toward helping yourself and others avoid the worst consequences. If you have medical conditions or take medications that increase your risk of developing heat stroke you should spend most of your time indoors staying cool.

So the Longer You Fight, the Less You Can Focusby Mr. Twenty Twenty – Power of Imagination Podcast“I can't focus for more than a few seconds. Then my mind wanders…”I've gotten that email three times this week.Here's the deal:The longer you fight, the less you can focus.If you're in a battle of the mind…Trying to force yourself to focus…You're not manifesting…You are mentating - on a problem…Trying to eliminate a pain.Instead of giving life to a possibility.Let's Start Where Manifesting Actually BeginsNeville Goddard taught it in The Four Mighty Ones:“Wouldn't it be cool…”Wouldn't it be cool…That's the FEELING that awakens the PRODUCER.The first of the FOUR MIGHTY ONES.In my life….  I nailed….“Wouldn't it be cool..   to make great money… while doing what I love?”That's your Producer moment.Right there, you just opened the door to a possibility.There's a physiology shift that happens.You feel it in your belly and it will land in your bones.You smile. You nod.Something moves inside.That's real.  That's FEELING IT REAL.Then Comes the Author MomentThe Author writes the FINAL scene.Neville says that's all he does.No movie script.No detailed storyboard.No trying to figure it out.Just a moment of:“What would imply my wish is already fulfilled?”I imagine this:YOU show up HERE with a box of cigars.“Mr. Twenty Twenty, I got something for you. Can I stop by?”Boom. That's it.  That implies - our work - has blessed you.And it takes just a split secondin time.Don't Ignore The  Secret DoorMost people start with pain.They try to eliminate it.But when you start there?You're trying to slay the dragon, not enter the garden.You haven't found the secret door.The secret door is always:Wouldn't it be cool…That's your entrance.That is the masterkey to the POWER OF POSSIBILITY.I'm a Tricker. Here's the Trick.Here's my sneaky secret…That guarantees YOUR success…Inside Manifesting Mastery Deluxe…Every seven days, I say:“Post an update in the group.”Not to report in.  I want you…To experience the Author moment.Wouldn't it be cool…To have a really cool update?Then it happens….If you take the time - to experience…Wouldn't it be cool?Becuase…Manifesting doesn't start with pain.It starts with a spark.Wouldn't it be cool…That lights up your status chemicals.

Because You're Not Beginning Where Manifesting BeginsManifesting always begins with the power of possibility.If you try to begin anywhere else,You're not manifesting.And odds are - you're going “mental”.   Most people try to make mind movies that take minutes.But their attention span? About 18 seconds.So they end up daydreaming instead of creating.Neville Goddard said:“The twinkle of an eye.”“The moment you feel a desire…”“That's when you move into its assumption.”Not 10 minutes later.Not after your meditation music.Not after clearing your chakras.Transformation happens in an instant.I can look at someone and feel that…They're full of shit.And guess what? They respond - instantly.Their body.Their emotions.Their mind.They respond to my imaginal act.“They are full of shit.”But if I take it one step further...I remember the Disciple of John from https://JoinRemarkable.comThe disciple of John helps us notice…They're just lost love.They forgot who they are.They forgot to listen with love.So they talk shit…Because they feel - like shit.So I imagine lovingly for them.And they shift- instantly.“Man's faith in God is measured by his confidence in himself.” -  Neville GoddardOne Sip Simple.This is how we teach imagining.The Missing Masterkeys to REALLY feeling it real.You stop seeking solutions - your mind - loves - seeking solutions.Your soul wants to see from - love - and bring beauty into the world.Because you are how God has the adventure of a lifetime.The spirit that you are — the life-giving spirit…The soul you bring to the room…Wants to see from a state.But your humanity?It gets hooked on stories.Hooked on fixing.Hooked on proving.Hooked on arguing.When you are Mental….Take a walk.Beacause you can only walk in one direction at a time.This will focus you - in one direction if…While you walk, you…Imagine lovingly.For the people you pass.For the people who pop into your mind.Don't try to figure out what to imagine.Don't try to do it “right.”Do you see an old couple?I imagine them holding hands.Do you pass a puppy?I imagine it wiggly waggly.You see a little girl?I imagine her riding ponies or playing with posies. I don't try to figure it out.I just notice what pops in and…I give it life.And I move on.That's how you stop being mental.  And that's how you discover the state of…I am the blessing!Kung Fu King & Dev's QuestionMy buddy Dev last night dove into Identity-Based Manifesting.He asks:“How do I find my Kung Fu King?”Let's nail this down:Most people try to fix their pain.Financial pain.Emotional pain.Physical pain.Pain, pain, pain.They're chasing relief.Trying to escape cortisol.But Neville teaches in The Four Mighty Ones:It begins with a possibility.“Wouldn't it be cool…”Wouldn't it be cool to do Kung Fu again like I did in my 30s?Boom. That's identity.  The Kung Fu King!Once identity shows up?The Four Happy Chemicals flood your system.

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

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

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Tyler Panzner, a PhD scientist specializing in genetic health optimization, to discuss the most common mistakes people make with supplements. He emphasizes the importance of integrating both genetic data and blood work to create personalized wellness strategies, noting that while genetics reveal potential vulnerabilities, lifestyle and epigenetics determine how those genes express. Dr. Panzner also highlights the significance of methylation genes (like COMT), which impact neurotransmitters and detoxification, touches on the role of GLP-1s, as well as how psychedelics can be helpful tools. Overall, the conversation reinforces the value of precision health—leveraging genetic insights alongside lifestyle factors to make smarter, safer choices in supplementation.Dr. Tyler Panzner is a Ph.D. scientist with a deep background in pharmacology, cancer, neuroscience, and inflammation research. His passion for how different substances affect the body has been lifelong, but about seven years ago, he found his true calling in genetics and personalized medicine. Since then, he's been on a mission to create personalized vitamin, supplement, and lifestyle protocols tailored to each individual's unique biology.His approach is all about understanding what your cells truly need and uncovering which vitamins, supplements, or foods might not be a good match for your genetic makeup. He firmly believes that by aligning your habits with your genes, not only can you feel your best every day, but you can also lower your risk for chronic diseases in the long run. His practice focuses on genetically optimizing health, helping people unlock their body's full potential to truly thrive.Dr. Panzner sees a massive lack in supplement education across all sectors of healthcare, which shows up as unnecessary suffering as people feel worse due to the wrong supplement recommendations. He is driven to educate both practitioners for their practice and consumers in the supplement aisle of the store so they can make more informed decisions regarding their or their patient's supplementation strategies.SHOW NOTES:0:39 Welcome to the podcast!3:31 Dr. Tyler Panzner's Bio4:03 Welcome him to the show!5:05 This biggest mistake with supplementation9:31 Iron chelation & anemia12:35 CBD & Serotonin blockers15:51 GLP-1s: the good & bad24:25 Genetics vs lifestyle26:37 Cross-referencing with lab work 31:11 Histamine issues35:59 *ALIGN MAT*37:36 Methylation genes44:30 MTHFR52:46 Genetic testing57:17 Alzheimer's & APOE1:00:58 Psychedelics & genetics1:11:58 Natural ways to raise BDNF1:12:41 His finale piece of advice1:15:34 Where to find him1:16:16 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:https://drtylerpanzner.com/InstagramFacebookLinkedInYouTubeTikTokAlign Mat - $250 off with code: BIOHACKERBABESEp 291: Align Mat with Alyssa & MikeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

In his appearance on Tin Foil Hat with Sam Tripoli, Christian Yordanov challenges the mainstream narrative around serotonin, arguing that it is not the “happy chemical” it has been marketed as, but rather a product of pharmaceutical propaganda. He explains that serotonin can actually cause harm in the body, potentially contributing to inflammation, disease, and long-term health problems. Christian links the widespread use of SSRIs to darker agendas, referencing MK-ULTRA mind control programs and the idea of a population dulled into compliance, often referred to as “NPCs.” He also suggests that manipulating serotonin is part of a broader depopulation agenda, where these drugs gradually undermine both mental and physical health. More controversially, he claims that serotonin-based medications may be feeding the cancer industry, creating a long-term dependency on treatments that ultimately serve pharmaceutical profits rather than public well-being.

In this episode of Raising Serotonin, I sat down with Lindsey, The Holistic Mama, to have a real conversation about what it actually means to live holistically—without the fluff, without the quick-fix promises, and without feeling like you have to do all the things to be healthy. Lindsey opens up about her own journey and the shifts that helped her find balance in mind, body, and spirit.We dig into the power of being present as a parent, the role supplements can play in supporting mental well-being, and the small-but-mighty habits that truly move the needle—like hydration and listening to your body's cues. We discuss:-Why chasing quick fixes is costing you more than you think -The hydration tip that actually works (and it's way simpler than you think) -How to know when your body is saying “slow down” — and what to do about itIf you've ever felt stuck chasing the next “health hack” or overwhelmed by wellness trends, this episode will help you slow down, tune in, and realize that caring for yourself doesn't have to be complicated.Follow and Connect with Lindsey on Instagram FOLLOW RAISING SEROTONIN ON INSTAGRAM HERE SIGN UP FOR THE FREE RAISING SEROTONIN NEWSLETTER HERE

Your gut is home to trillions of microbes that influence digestion, stress, and overall health. In this episode of Love & Life Elevated, we unpack what the microbiome is, what happens when it's out of balance, how stress hormones affect the gut, and why most serotonin is actually made in your digestive system. Simple, practical, and science-backed - this is gut health made easy.

This week on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I pulled two seemingly contradictory cards (the Knight of Wands and the Seven of Pentacles) and found myself reflecting on the very human tension between urgency and patience. At first glance, these archetypes appear at odds: one races forward, fiery and eager; the other waits, steadies, and tends. But beneath the surface, they share a common root: passion.In this episode, I explore how both cards express passion differently - one through movement, the other through stillness. I unpack how this polarity often shows up in relationships (think of the couple where one is impulsive and driven, while the other is methodical and calm) and how both partners are often acting from the same place: care, longing, and a desire for connection. The challenge is in learning how to integrate their styles rather than battle over whose rhythm is “right.”We then zoom out into the lens of neurobiology by pairing the Knight of Wands with dopamine and the Seven of Pentacles with serotonin. Drawing on recent research from Stanford and Columbia, I discuss how these neurotransmitters operate in opposition yet depend on each other: dopamine initiates action and drives momentum, while serotonin regulates patience and long-term reward. Just like tarot, our brains need both. Without dopamine, we never start. Without serotonin, we can't sustain.By working with the Knight and the Seven together, we can begin to honor the full spectrum of passion: the spark that ignites, and the soil that nourishes.Deck used: Tarot VintageStudies cited:https://www.columbiapsychiatry.org/news/lack-serotonin-receptor-plays-role-aggressive-and-impulsive-behaviorshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39586475/Pre-order my forthcoming book Dark Shadow, Golden Shadow here and get an exclusive sneak peek!

Dr. Chris Masterjohn is the host of the Mastering Nutrition Podcast and founder of Mitome, where he helps people optimize their mitochondrial health through advanced analysis. He received his PhD in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Connecticut, completed his postdoctoral research at the University of Illinois, and served as Assistant Professor at Brooklyn College before choosing to work independently - free from institutional constraints - in science research and education. His groundbreaking SSRI series on his substack hasn't just exposed the truth about these drugs. It's revealed that we've been looking at them completely wrong. Dr. McFillin and Dr. Masterjohn expose how these drugs act as mitochondrial toxins, disrupt cellular energy, and deplete serotonin. They also explore the consequences no one talks about: from prenatal exposure to why so many patients say they feel “dead inside.”Chris Masterjohn, PhD Website Dr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here

My guest is Sasha Hershfeld, creator of TraumaDater.com, which helps people see the link between their early pain and their present patterns of romantic attraction…and grow from it.The HAPPY BRAIN PODCAST helps you spark your happy brain chemicals in healthy ways. Your host is Loretta G. Breuning PhD, 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.org. Check out our new video course, Train Your Inner Mammal to Feel Good Now.(https://innermammalinstitute.org/course — 10% off with the code ReaderDiscount at the checkout.) You will learn to rewire your happy chemicals with small simple steps!Our dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphin are inherited from earlier mammals. We control them with the limbic brain we've inherited from animals. The verbal human part of the brain doesn't understand what makes the animal part feel good, and that's why we do things to feel good that we later regret. When you understand the job that each happy chemical evolved to do, you can find healthy ways to spark them.Dr. Breuning's new book, Why You're Unhappy: Biology vs Politics, shows why unhappiness comes so easily to our brain. Why do they tell us that happiness is the natural state and unhappiness is a disorder? It's politics. The kind of politics that all mammals have.

Your brain chemicals are like paving on your neural pathways, which wires you to repeat behaviors that spark good feelings and avoid behaviors that spark bad feelings. That's why we keep repeating or avoiding things without quite knowing why. To change these patterns, you have to blaze a new trail through your jungle of neurons. It's hard because it takes so much repetition. The Inner Mammal Institute shows you how to design and build the new neural pathway that's right for you, and motivate yourself to do the repetitions. Rewiring your brain is like learning a foreign language: we all know it's possible, but most people don't. You can be someone who does! You can build new paths to your happy chemicals so you flow there more easily.The Inner Mammal Institute has the resources you need to do that. It offers free resources, including 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. Get the details at https://InnerMammalInstitute.org.The music on this podcast was composed by William Sharp.

Vilazodone (brand name Viibryd) is an antidepressant with a unique pharmacologic profile compared to most other agents in the SSRI class. While not a first-line choice for every patient, understanding its mechanism, adverse effects, and interaction profile is essential for optimizing therapy and preventing downstream prescribing problems. Mechanism of ActionVilazodone is classified as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and a partial agonist at the 5-HT1A receptor. The SSRI activity increases synaptic serotonin by blocking the serotonin transporter, while partial agonism at 5-HT1A receptors may contribute to antidepressant effects and potentially reduce certain SSRI-associated adverse effects (though clinical evidence for this benefit is mixed). Adverse Effects GI effects – diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting are frequent early in therapy. Taking the medication with food can help minimize these. Insomnia – often dose-related; morning dosing may help. Sexual dysfunction – may be slightly lower than with some SSRIs but still present. Serotonin syndrome – rare but serious, particularly if combined with other serotonergic drugs. Discontinuation syndrome – abrupt cessation can lead to dizziness, irritability, and flu-like symptoms. Drug InteractionsVilazodone is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4. This means: CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, clarithromycin, ritonavir) can increase vilazodone concentrations, potentially worsening side effects—dose reductions may be required. CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., carbamazepine, rifampin, St. John's Wort) can lower drug levels, reducing effectiveness. Other serotonergic agents (e.g., triptans, SNRIs, MAOIs, tramadol, linezolid) increase the risk of serotonin syndrome. Antiplatelets and anticoagulants – SSRIs can impair platelet aggregation, increasing bleeding risk when combined with aspirin, NSAIDs, or warfarin. Prescribing Cascade ExamplesVilazodone's adverse effects can easily lead to unnecessary prescriptions if side effects aren't recognized: GI upset → Acid suppression therapy – Diarrhea or nausea prompts the addition of proton pump inhibitors or antiemetics, instead of adjusting vilazodone dose or timing. Insomnia → Hypnotic initiation – Trouble sleeping results in adding zolpidem or trazodone, without reassessing morning dosing or vilazodone's role. Sexual dysfunction → PDE5 inhibitor prescription – Erectile dysfunction leads to sildenafil use, when the root cause is vilazodone's serotonergic activity. Vilazodone's combination of SSRI and 5-HT1A partial agonist activity makes it somewhat distinct, but its side effect profile and interactions require the same careful monitoring as other antidepressants. Healthcare professionals can play a key role in catching early signs of adverse effects, preventing prescribing cascades, and ensuring drug–drug interactions are managed appropriately.

My guest today is Dr. Kenda Rigdon. Dr. Rigdon is a microbiologist with a PhD in microbiology and virology from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Drawing from her expertise, she explores how the gut's microbial ecosystem—comprising bacteria, yeast like Candida and Malassezia, and other microbes—interacts with genetic and epigenetic factors to influence Autism. Dr. Rigdon highlights the critical role of the birthing process, particularly how vaginal delivery seeds a newborn's gut with beneficial microbes like lactobacillus, setting the stage for healthy development in the first three years. She also delves into how yeast overgrowth, nutrient competition (e.g., for tryptophan), and environmental factors like manganese and glyphosate exposure can disrupt this delicate ecosystem, potentially exacerbating autism-related symptoms.Dr. Rigdon shares insights into the surprising links between melanin, Neanderthal DNA, and Autism. She discusses how specific genetic mutations, such as MTHFR and PAI1, can intersect with Autism. Additionally, she connects melanin production—potentially influenced by gut yeast like Malassezia—to neurological health, drawing parallels with conditions like Parkinson's. By viewing the gut as a dynamic ecosystem shaped by birth, diet, and early development, this episode offers a fresh perspective on Autism's microbial roots and practical implications for health, urging listeners to reconsider modern birthing practices and dietary choices in fostering a balanced gut microbiome.Dr. Rigdon X https://x.com/KendaRigdonDaylight Computer Companyuse "autism" for $25 off athttps://buy.daylightcomputer.com/RYAN03139Chroma Iight Devicesuse "autism" for 10% discount athttps://getchroma.co/?ref=autism0:00 Dr. Kenda Rigdon1:14 Journey into Microbiology4:08 The Gut's Ecosystem8:21 Genetics, Autism, & The Microbial Connection13:08 MTHFR & PAI1: Homocysteine, Methionine, Folate20:21 The Role of Yeast in Health & Disease; Serotonin, Candida26:39 The Fight for Tryptophan31:14 Impact of Birthing Method on Gut Health (!)33:13 Modern versus Evolutionary Births, Breastfeeding; Oxygen, Acidity, PH37:15 Melanin, Cell Protection, Neanderthal DNA, Autism40:46 Neuromelanin; Biological Energy, Melanocytes43:20 Neanderthal's & Modern Disease & Environments47:23 Microbes in the Brain53:21 Manganese & Gut Health58:22 Gut-Brain Connection & Microbial Balance01:03:19 Early Gut Health & Development; Modern Insults01:07:21 Future Direction in Gut Health & Kenda's Passion & LoveX: https://x.com/rps47586YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGxEzLKXkjppo3nqmpXpzuAemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

In this episode, Dr. Tracy Beth Hoeg discusses the implications of SSRIs during pregnancy, the role of serotonin in fetal development, and the importance of transparency in FDA communications. The conversation also touches on the hormone therapy debate, the issue of over-medication in society, and the need for a focus on root causes in treatment approaches.

This week on Raising Serotonin, I'm chatting about that in-between season we're in right now — saying goodbye to summer and stepping into fall. I'm sharing how I'm trying to bring all the good energy, habits, and lessons from the summer with me instead of letting them fade away. We'll talk about the mindset shifts that help when the days get shorter, how to set intentions that actually stick, and why change doesn't have to throw you off your game. If you're ready to make the most of this next chapter while still taking care of yourself, this one's for you.FOLLOW RAISING SEROTONIN ON INSTAGRAM HERE SIGN UP FOR THE FREE RAISING SEROTONIN NEWSLETTER HERE

What if your mood isn't just in your mind—but in your gut? In this powerful episode, GI psychologist Dr. Daphne Spyropoulos of Cleveland Clinic explains the surprising science behind gut health, serotonin, shame, and self-talk. We unpack how social media affects our self-worth, whyyour inner critic might just be habit, and how small shifts in thought can change everything.You'll also hear the viral “cereal story” thatmakes neuroplasticity (rewiring your brain) easy to understand—and even easier to apply. If you've ever felt anxious, judged, or stuck in self-doubt, this conversation will show you how to build emotional resilience from the insideout.Resource & Links:Bart Berkey: MostPeopleDont.com | LinkedIn

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Scott Sherr, a board-certified internal medicine doctor and expert in integrative and hyperbaric medicine. He's shining a light on a little-known brain chemical called GABA — often described as your brain's “off switch.”Dr. Sherr believes GABA deficiency is one of the most overlooked drivers of mental fatigue, stress, and sleep issues today. And more importantly, he shares powerful, practical ways to support GABA naturally — beyond just popping supplements. We're talking cutting-edge tools like medicinal mushrooms (a.k.a. fungiceuticals), targeted lifestyle shifts, and more.For full show notes and transcript: https://drgundry.com/dr-scott-sherrThank you to our sponsors!

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Dr. Matthew Johnson, PhD, a senior researcher for the Center of Excellence for Psilocybin Research and Treatment at Sheppard Pratt's Institute for Advanced Diagnostics and Therapeutics. We explore the science and therapeutic potential of psychedelic medicine, including psilocybin, MDMA and LSD. We discuss how these substances can profoundly alter perception and self-identity, providing long-lasting relief from depression, addiction and trauma when used in controlled clinical settings. We also discuss microdosing and emerging research on psychedelics' potential to support recovery from neurological injuries. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

In this episode, I dive deep into a topic that's rarely discussed but incredibly important: the art of pleasure at midlife. I'm joined by Laini Gray as we explore why many women have either disconnected from intentional pleasure or are caught in cycles of false pleasures that don't truly satisfy. We cover: The science behind pleasure – How our brain chemistry works and why pleasure matters for our health and longevity False pleasures vs. true pleasures – Understanding the difference between momentary escapes and genuine joy The unique challenges midlife women face – Why we struggle to prioritize pleasure and how societal messaging contributes Practical strategies – Simple ways to incorporate more meaningful pleasure into your daily life This conversation isn't just about indulgence—it's about reclaiming your right to joy and making pleasure a non-negotiable part of your wellness journey. If you've been feeling disconnected from what truly brings you happiness, this episode is your permission slip to prioritize pleasure again.

In this episode I explain how your vagus nerve—an extensive neural pathway linking your brain and body in both directions—powerfully regulates your mood, digestion, alertness and even certain food cravings, and I explain how you can activate certain vagus nerve pathways to improve your heart rate variability (HRV), a key marker of health and longevity. I also explain how to control vagal pathways to enhance your focus and alertness to improve learning and neuroplasticity. And I explain how your vagus nerve controls levels of serotonin in both your gut and brain, impacting your mood and emotional resilience and how to keep that pathway robust.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explore the sensations of pain and pleasure, explaining how they are sensed in the body and interpreted by the brain as well as methods to control their intensity. I discuss both the hardwired mechanisms and subjective factors that shape an individual's perception of pain and pleasure. I also explain why pain thresholds vary from person to person and discuss various treatments for pain management such as acupuncture and supplements. Finally, I explain the role of key neurochemicals like dopamine and serotonin in mediating our experience of pain and pleasure. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.
