TJ has dedicated his career to translating complex neuroscience concepts into accessible strategies that encourage healthier lifestyles. His upcoming book, "The Dose Effect," delves into the crucial role that neurotransmitters—dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins—play in mental health, particularly concerning anxiety and stress. Modern living often disrupts the balance of these chemicals, contributing to feelings of anxiety, and TJ's insights provide practical, neuroscience-informed strategies for restoring this balance through achievable daily habits. Our conversation explores TJ's personal journey towards uncovering the Dose Effect framework. He shares how his early struggles with OCD and the profound loss of multiple family members during his teenage years shaped his fascination with psychology and neuroscience. This unique background inspired him to create a lifestyle plan centered around achieving equilibrium in brain chemistry. #Anxiety #Stress #MentalHealth #Neuroscience #Neurotransmitters #Dopamine #Oxytocin #Serotonin #Endorphins #TheDoseEffect #BrainChemistry #MentalWellbeing #LifestyleHabits #Mindfulness #Resilience #PhoneAddiction #ScreenTime #ModernLife #EmotionalRegulation #SelfCare #MentalHealthPodcast #Podcast #GinaRyan #ACP #AnxietyCoachesPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.
