Today I'll be talking with Loretta Breuning PhD, founder of the inner mammal institute, Professor Emerita at Cal State East Bay, and the best-selling author of The power of Positivity, and Habits of a Healthy Brain.

And that's just what I want to talk with her about today, about how to retrain your brain to boost your serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin and endorphin levels, to help you stay happy, even during these crazy times.

That plus we'll talk about thinking of feral pigs, satisficing and the nobel prize, the importance of judging science fairs, baby chimps and mama's crumbs, animals breaking into zoos, and what paint by number kits & redecorating have to do with anything!
