In today’s episode, I sit down with TJ Power to explore the roles of dopamine and oxytocin in motivation, satisfaction, and connection. We discuss how modern life affects dopamine systems, impacting motivation and mental health, and share strategies to boost dopamine through effortful activities and oxytocin through meaningful connections. We also cover the benefits of gratitude, social interactions, nature, sleep, and diet on mental health, and delve into managing ADHD, depression, and stress through physical exertion.
Enjoy 🙂
