Welcome to Untangle, the podcast from Muse, the brain-sensing headman that helps you meditate.

I'm Patricia Carpice, your host, along with my co-host every other week, Muse co-founder, Ariel Garden.

We just launched a new muse called Muse S, which features a comfortable, soft fabric headman.

It gives you real-time feedback on your brain, heart, breath, and body during meditation.

And also includes new features designed to help lull you to sleep.

Check it out at choose muse.com and use Untangle15 for your discount code.

And if you've ever wanted to learn to meditate in a beautiful

setting, check out the do nothing leadership retreat at do nothing book.com. It's five days in the

Colorado Mountains starting April 19th and is focused on learning to meditate so that you can be

a better leader at work and at home. It's a great place to chill and learn.

Former Untangled guest Rob DeBay is the founder and the reviews have been great.

I'll be there this year leading the kickoff night, so I'd love to see you there.

Now, on to the show.

Today's guest is Loretta Bruining.

PhD and author of the book, Habits of a Healthy Brain,

Retrain your brain to boost your serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphin levels. She founded

the Inner Mammal Institute, where she provides resources that help people rewire, which she calls their mammalian neurochemistry.

Loretta has done a very deep dive into research on how the motivational chemicals work in animals

and make several connections that relate to us as human beings.

She shares how we can retrain our brains to turn on the chemicals that make us happier and

increase our overall feelings of satisfaction. It's pretty interesting stuff. Now, here's Loretta.

Loretta, welcome. It's great to have you on Untangle today. Thanks for being here.
