Understanding the Dose Effect

The podcast introduces the concept of the Dose Effect, which centers around optimizing mental health by focusing on four primary neurotransmitters: dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins. These chemicals play a significant role in regulating moods, motivation, and relationships and are crucial for overall well-being. Neuroscientist T.J. Power explains that modern lifestyles often disrupt the balance of these chemicals, leaving individuals feeling depleted. By adopting certain science-backed habits, people can enhance their mental state and experience greater energy, focus, and joy.
