Making Sense of Our Inherited Brain Chemicals
She is the 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.
Our happy brain chemicals are not designed to be on all the time. When you know what sparks them in the state of nature, you can find healthy ways to spark them in daily life.
But it is hard. Our brain is inherited from ancestors who had to struggle constantly to survive. Our chemicals are designed to reward us for taking action to meet our survival needs. Our unhappy chemicals turn on easily because our ancestors lived in a world of threat.
Managing these chemicals is a skill we must learn from practice, like any other skill. She will teach you how, so you can enjoy your natural dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphin in new ways.
She has helped thousands of people make peace with their inner mammal. Her ten books have been translated into eighteen languages. She has been on many podcasts and has her own: The Happy Brain Podcast.
This method is all positive. It is not about disorders. It is not about diet, exercise, or mindfulness. It is about accepting the natural job of your chemicals so you can guide your mammal brain the way a rider guides a horse.
