#38 How to Increase Serotonin and Dopamine Levels (Of Lobsters and Men VOL 2)

Are you a sad lobster?!? Let me explain... In the previous episode, we talked about one of the most fundamental principles of your embodied experience of reality. Namely, that the way you hold your posture and in what physiological state you’re in has a profound impact on your psychological state of mind and vice versa. Jordan Peterson wrote in his book The 12 Rules of Life: An Antidote to Chaos how male lobsters engage in brutal dominance fights between each other.  Winning once is going to predict the future successes of a lobster because of experiencing a boost in the neurotransmitter serotonin Serotonin plays an important role in decision making, cognitive performance, risk-seeking behavior, and social affiliations. Low serotonin will lead to low serotonin-producing behavior and depression. Therefore, if you ever want to get yourself back on the right track of health, wealth, love, and happiness, you need to know how to manage and optimize your neurotransmitters even after having suffered from detrimental defeat. That's what we'll discuss in today's Body Mind Empowerment Podcast with Siim Land, some lobsters, and your brain's neurochemistry.
