Hey, what's up, Motivators, Terran here. I recently read a great book about the dopamine

reward pathway. On the good side of things, this pathway is what allows us to be motivated,

and figure things out, and push ourselves to being better versions of ourselves. But the other side

of that coin is very negative. This is also what causes us to get addicted to drugs or gambling or sex or

become overweight as endurance athletes we can fortunately harness the dopamine

reward pathway and I want to talk about how we can use it to avoid a lot of the

bad things involved with extreme amounts of fitness and really work towards achieving our goals,

bigger goals than we ever thought imaginable by using the dopamine reward pathway for good,

not evil.

My name is Terran Gazelle. In my 20s, I was overweight, unfulfilled, and couldn't even run

to the end of the block. Over the following years, I found endurance sports, lost 65 pounds, won age

groups, race world championships, broke records, and trained and learned from some of the best

athletes and coaches in the world. You too can use endurance sports to change your life and

accomplish your fitness goals. You just need a system, a system that's meant for us amateurs

who want to be our best while feeling our strongest and healthiest.

My company Motiv offers that system, and I want to share some of the tips from it today.

Thank you for tuning in Motivators.

So I recently read a book called The Molecule of More.

Excellent, excellent book.

It's even a good audiobook.

I recommend that you check it out.
