Podcasts about Serotonin

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

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

Estrogen accumulates in your tissues even when blood tests show low levels, leading to misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment Hair and nail testing reveal long-term patterns of hormone and mineral buildup, offering clearer insight into chronic symptoms like fatigue, infertility, and fluid retention High prolactin levels often signal hidden estrogen activity and are especially important to monitor if your thyroid function is low Vegetable oils, plastics, and many common household products contain compounds that either mimic estrogen or promote estrogen dominance by disrupting thyroid function, impairing detox pathways, and driving chronic inflammation Natural progesterone and liver-supportive strategies like collagen-rich foods help reduce your tissue estrogen burden and restore balance

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Martha Carlin, CEO and founder of the Bio Collective.

Martha Carlin, CEO and founder of the Bio Collective, details the significant influence of the microbiome on overall health. Martha discusses her unconventional path from accounting to microbiome research, sparked by her husband's Parkinson's diagnosis. Together, they explore the complex connections between gut health and diseases like Parkinson's, autism, and even Alzheimer's. Martha sheds light on groundbreaking research funded by NIH grants, the potential of machine learning and AI in understanding microbiome patterns, and the future prospects of personalized probiotics. Practical advice on maintaining a healthy microbiome, the impact of diet and exercise, and the intriguing intersections between gut health, neurochemistry, and systemic diseases are highlighted. The discussion also covers challenges in integrating microbiome research into clinical practice and potential future therapies.

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

„L-Tryptophan ist eine essenzielle Aminosäure – unser Körper kann sie nicht selbst herstellen, ist aber auf sie angewiesen.“ In diesem HEALTH NERDS Deep Dive nehmen wir L-Tryptophan genauer unter die Lupe. Gemeinsam mit Gesundheitswissenschaftler Matthias Baum klären wir, welche Rolle es in unserem Körper spielt, wie es wirkt und wann eine Ergänzung durch Supplements sinnvoll sein kann. -- L-Tryptophan ist der Ausgangsstoff für wichtige Botenstoffe im Gehirn: Es wird zu Serotonin umgewandelt, unserem „Glückshormon“, und spielt damit eine zentrale Rolle für Stimmung, Schlaf und Appetit. Über die Zirbeldrüse kann Serotonin zudem zu Melatonin weiterverarbeitet werden – dem Hormon, das unseren Schlaf-Wach-Rhythmus steuert. Damit ist L-Tryptophan nicht nur für unser seelisches Wohlbefinden wichtig, sondern auch für erholsamen Schlaf und eine gesunde innere Balance. Doch wie merke ich, ob meinem Körper zu wenig L-Tryptophan zur Verfügung steht? Müdigkeit, schlechte Stimmung, Gereiztheit oder Schlafstörungen können Hinweise sein. Auch Heißhungerattacken auf Süßes stehen im Zusammenhang mit einem Mangel. Bestimmte Zielgruppen sind besonders gefährdet – etwa Menschen mit hohem Stresslevel, unausgewogener Ernährung, Darmproblemen oder chronischen Erkrankungen. -- Vor allem in proteinreichen Lebensmitteln wie Milchprodukten, Fleisch, Fisch, Eiern, Hülsenfrüchten, Nüssen und Samen steckt ein besonders hoher Gehalt an L-Tryptophan. Interessant: Kohlenhydrate können die Aufnahme im Gehirn verbessern, weshalb eine ausgewogene Ernährung besonders wichtig ist. Die gute Nachricht: L-Tryptophan kann auch in Form von Supplements ergänzt werden. Doch wie viel ist sinnvoll? Welche Wechselwirkungen gibt es mit anderen Stoffen oder Medikamenten? Und worauf sollten Kinder, Schwangere oder Menschen mit psychischen Erkrankungen achten? Antworten im HEALTH NERDS Deep Dive: L-Tryptophan. -- Ein ALL EARS ON YOU Original Podcast.

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!

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.

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!

We'll explore the limits of serotonin research, what the studies reveal about bone density, hip and spine health, and fracture risk, along with how serotonin receptors influence these areas. I'll also cover potential downsides like cardiac risk, increased bleeding, and nutrient depletion, but we'll balance that with some surprising benefits on brain health and their anti-inflammatory effects.  Topics Discussed: → What are the pros and cons of taking SSRIs? → How do SSRIs affect bone density and fracture risk? → Can SSRIs impact heart health and bleeding risk? → What are the brain health benefits of SSRIs? → Why you should never stop SSRIs without medical advice?

CAUTION: If you are taking antidepressants or any other psychiatric medication, do not stop or adjust your dosage without first consulting a qualified healthcare professional. Coming off medication without proper guidance can lead to withdrawal symptoms. In this episode we're joined by Professor Joanna Moncrieff, psychiatrist, researcher, and author of Chemically Imbalanced - a bold book that challenges one of modern medicine's most accepted beliefs: that depression is caused by a “chemical imbalance” of serotonin in the brain.We saw Joanna on Dr Chatterjee's Feel Better, Live More podcast and really hoped she'd agree to come onto ours - which she thankfully did!In the UK alone, antidepressant prescriptions have almost doubled in the past decade – from 47 million in 2011 to 85.6 million in 2022–23. That's over 8.6 million adults now taking them each year.But what if we've been sold the wrong story? And what are the real effects of these drugs - especially for those of us navigating the complex emotional terrain of midlife?In this episode, we explore the truth about the “chemical imbalance” theory, what psychiatric drugs actually do to the brain, the long term potential dangers, and what you can do to support your mental health without relying solely on medication.Get ready for an eye-opening conversation that could change the way you think about mental health and what really drives healing.Chemically Imbalanced: The Making And Unmaking Of The Serotonin Myth:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Chemically-Imbalanced-Making-Unmaking-Serotonin-ebook/dp/B0DHV5LJX8/Ibiza Retreat: https://themidlifementors.com/retreats/The Midlife Male Handbook available now:AmazonWaterstonesWH Smith Please remember, if you find the show helpful or it makes you laugh, motivates and inspires you - please do like, share and rate us.

In this week's episode of The Red Light Report, Dr. Mike Belkowski welcomes Elizabeth Grojean, founder and CEO of Baloo Living, to share her remarkable journey and the science behind weighted blankets.   Elizabeth opens up about leaving a high‑stress marketing career in New York to embark on a soul‑searching journey in Bali — an adventure that sparked her mission to help people achieve restorative sleep through eco‑conscious, beautifully crafted weighted blankets.   What you'll learn in this episode:   The science of deep pressure touch: how gentle, even weight reduces cortisol, boosts serotonin, and helps your body naturally produce melatonin for deeper, faster sleep.   Real-world data: results from a recent study showing improved sleep efficiency, reduced time to fall asleep, and higher readiness scores for those using Baloo blankets.   Sustainable wellness: why Elizabeth built Baloo Living with environmentally responsible materials and practices—so you can rest easier in more ways than one.   Practical tips: how to choose the right blanket weight and size, plus surprising uses for travel, meditation, and even pets.   Elizabeth and Mike also discuss the compounding benefits of simple habits—like adding a weighted blanket to you r nightly routine—so you can build resilience, improve recovery, and wake up truly refreshed. ​ P.S. If you've been curious about trying a weighted blanket, this episode might just convince you—it's a simple, one‑time change that can pay off every single night for years to come. - Key Quotes from Elizabeth Grojean:   “The even pressure across the whole body signals to the nervous system that you're safe. There's a decrease in cortisol almost immediately, and then there's an increase in serotonin, which naturally converts to melatonin.” “A weighted blanket is a one-time purchase that improves your sleep quality every single night. That has ongoing, compounding effects on your overall health.”  “We offset our carbon footprint from all production and operations—and then we double our offset. Because we all know we've done a bunch of harm to this planet, and the only way we'll ever get anywhere is if we start to undo some of that.”  - Key points: 00:00 – Introduction: Weighted Blanket Sleep Benefits 01:30 – Meet Elizabeth Grojean & Baloo Living 03:19 – The Foundational Role of Sleep in Health 03:43 – Elizabeth's Journey from NYC to Bali 05:11 – Birth of Baloo: Sleep as a Personal Renaissance 06:28 – Creating a Purposeful and Profitable Business 07:47 – The “Should vs. Must” Philosophy and Bali's Influence 09:04 – Weighted Blankets as a Nervous System Tool 10:10 – Deep Pressure Touch: The Science Behind the Calm 13:11 – Physiological Effects: Cortisol, Serotonin, and Melatonin 14:09 – Elizabeth's First Experience with a Weighted Blanket 15:07 – Choosing Your First Weighted Blanket 16:32 – Pets and Weighted Blankets: Thunder Jacket Parallel 17:25 – Baloo's Sleep Study & Key Results 19:01 – 27% Faster Sleep Onset & 10% Deep Sleep Increase 20:12 – Subjective Benefits and Readiness Score Boost 21:17 – Dr. Mike's Experience with Weighted Blankets and Magnets 23:04 – One-Time Health Investments That Compound Over Time 24:17 – Sustainability at Baloo: Eco Materials and Offsets 26:24 – Partnering with SeaTrees for Kelp Reforestation 28:08 – Upcycled Linen Robes Made in the USA 29:02 – Weighted Silk Sleep Mask with Crystals 31:05 – Pillow Mist and Lap Blanket for Meditation 34:04 – Considerations: Weight, Pain, and Accessibility 35:00 – Who Benefits Most: Kids, Anxious Sleepers & More 36:58 – Travel Options for Sleep Consistency 38:38 – Sleep Hacks: Breathwork and Daily Wellness Tools 40:13 – Breathwork Benefits: Grounding and Emotional Regulation 42:43 – What's Next: Retreats, Mindfulness, and Community 45:00 – Final Wisdom: Gentle Consistency in Health Habits 46:11 – Connect with Baloo Living - Where to learn more from and about Elizabeth Grojean & Baloo Living: Baloo Living(website) Instagram - Save 25% when you Subscribe & Save to a BioBundle!For a BioBundle, you choose: 1.)

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.

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.
