So have you ever noticed how, after scrolling through social media for an hour or so, nothing

else seems interesting or exciting anymore? Or why that quick dopamine hit from your phone

feels amazing in the moment but leads you feeling oddly empty and unmotivated later, there is a

fascinating reason for this, and it has everything to do with how our ancient brain chemistry

collides with modern technology. These questions sparked one of the most eye-opening

conversations about what's really happening in our brains when we pick up our phones and also

just live our lives today. Why nature instantly makes us feel better. How seeing out loud in a car

might be one of the most powerful stress relievers

you're not using, not theoretical ideas, but practical insights about how four specific

brain chemicals shaped nearly every aspect of how we feel and function, and how sometimes

they get hijacked by modern life. My guest today is T.J. Power, a lead neuroscientist at the DOS lab and author of the

Instant Sunday Times bestseller, The Dose Effect, an inspiring self-healing guide about

the mind-body hormonal connection. And through his research and the dose framework,

T.J. has drained over 75,000 people at institutions like Harvard, Amazon, NHS,

building a community of more than 800,000 followers who are discovering how to work with their

brain chemistry rather than against it. And what really caught me off guard in this conversation

was learning that 90% of our feel-good chemical serotonin is actually produced in our gut, not in our brain.

And we'll hear what TJ shares about how a simple walk without headphones could dramatically

shift your state of mind and why, like what's actually happening under the hood.

We explore practical ways to harness these natural chemical processes that make you feel more

alive, more connected,

and yes, happier, even in our hyper-digital and fast-paced world.
