Episode notes

Ready to feel some joy, chicks? This week we’re breaking down our brain’s 4 head honchos of happiness: Dopamine, serotonin, endorphins and oxytocin. We chat about the role of each happy brain chemical, signs you might be low and the everyday habits you can wield to give ‘em a boost.

We’re not medical professionals and this week’s episode is based on research conducted by the actual experts. If you’re feeling low, anxious or depressed, please reach out to a loved one or your GP for help. We’ve also provided a list of mental health resources below.
