Welcome back to the podcast. I'm your host, Evan Brand. If you're new to the show, I'm glad you're here.

The world is a crazy place and I hope to bring you important health information that improves your ability to handle stress,

sleep better, have a better mood, a better libido, be a better dad, a better wife, a better spouse in general. I mean, when you're not your best self,

it's really hard to have good relationships. I look at so many people in their 30s and 40s that

still have no permanent relationship. And on the outside, those people may look happy,

but on the inside, they feel lonely.

And we know loneliness is a huge problem in this modern technological world that is compared

to smoking a pack of cigarettes per day.

So I hope that people can listen to this show and fix themselves.

And if they need extra help reach out to me i'll be

happy to help optimize but if your brain chemistry's off if your hormones are off if you have

nutrient deficiencies which literally everyone i've tested in the last decade does you've got to optimize

all that stuff if you want to feel your best and you want to put your best self out there. I went to a, we'll just call it a hardware store, okay, this morning. And I tried to get some help from the customer service guy. Here it is 9.30 a.m. And he says, oh, no, I'm sorry, man. I'm going to take my lunch. And he already has his phone in his hand. he already has some social media app up that he's

already scrolling. So mentally he's already checked out to the point that he can't even do his job

to help me. And I think this is a small piece of a global trend of disassociation from other humans.

And we got to be careful with that. We're treading in some treacherous waters if we can't help

out our fellow humans and some of that is related to brain chemistry if you have low gaba low serotonin

you're going to be less likely to socialize this is why if you go out for alcohol or maybe the table

next to you is drinking and they start getting loud and you think oh interesting those are getting loud, you can tell they're drinking. Well, yeah, that's because alcohol does boost dopamine, endorphin, serotonin. But I don't want us to be a society where we have to use alcohol or something like that to make ourselves feel happy and be able to talk to other people. So I could rant on that all day. Send me your thoughts

on Instagram, how you're feeling about this whole modern world, what direction are we headed? I don't like

the way things are going. And I hope that people can start to connect better and be nicer and slow the

hell down. And don't be in such a rat race. That doesn't mean just in your vehicle, you know, 25, 30 miles an hour
