How to Calm Down (And What Your Brain Is Actually Missing)

from Obesity: The War Within · host Brian Samuel, MD

Calm isn't a personality trait. It's not something you're born with or without. It's chemistry, serotonin, GABA, oxytocin, and your body knows how to make it. In this episode, Dr. Brian Samuel explains what calm actually looks like inside the body, why so many people feel like they can never truly settle, and the simple science-backed ways to help your nervous system find its way back to steady.
