Hi everyone. Welcome to, I don't know what number episode it is, but this is the first episode of my

science deep dives, as I told you earlier this week, and if you are a new listener, welcome.

Bonjour and welcome to the podcast. But I'm starting these science deep dives. Now, they're not

going to happen every single week, but they will be happening often. They're not going to be as long

as my 40 or 45 minute episodes.

We're going to see how long it goes.

Who knows?

I've not yet done one.

But basically what I'm going to be doing is I'm going to be going into, I pick one topic in as understandable to someone that has not studied, you know,

neurobiology or neuroscience or anything like that because the aim of this podcast is to be

describing or to share my passion for science and describing these topics in a way that is

understandable to someone that has not, you know, gone through the depths of it. But it is going to be

more in depth than what you'd get from my other podcast or what you'd get from a lot of different

information sites for someone that considers themselves to be more so a lay person in science.

Okay. So I'm very excited to be sharing this. It is really interesting because while it is going

into a, you know, more scientific side of things,

it's still very much something that you can hold on to that knowledge,

even if you only absorb some of it and apply it into your everyday life.

That's the main point of all these bits of information.

I'm still going to show you how you can apply what I've taught you into your everyday life.

So today I want to be talking about serotonin, what serotonin does, how to create more of it,

especially through things such as exercise, which I'll be kind of hitting on at the end of this
