How to Hack Your Brain to Conquer Your Fears and Increase Motivation | This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers and Even.\n\nAt one point or another, we\u2019ve all felt stuck in a rut with feelings of laziness and fear. During these times it can be really hard to take a step back and wonder what\u2019s happening in the body, as opposed to just the mind, but it\u2019s the link between the two that can push us through it.\xa0\xa0\n\nNeurotransmitters have some incredible power over how we function. Dopamine is responsible for craving, motivation, and pursuit. Adrenaline relates to agitation and endurance. Serotonin helps us be grateful and feel good about what we have. And acetylcholine can help us focus. This is just a snapshot of the chemical symphony happening in our bodies all the time, and we can actually leverage these inner reactions to better understand the way we react to the world around us and make positive changes.\xa0\n\nIn today\u2019s mini-episode, Dhru speaks with Dr. Andrew Huberman and Dr. Mark McLaughlin about the connection between fear, laziness, and motivation, and tools and strategies for overcoming them.\xa0\n\nDr. Andrew Huberman is a neuroscientist and tenured Professor in the Department of Neurobiology at the Stanford University School of Medicine. He has made numerous important contributions to the fields of brain development, brain function, and neural plasticity. His lab\u2019s most recent work focuses on the influence of vision and respiration on human performance and brain states such as fear and courage. Work from the Huberman Laboratory at Stanford University School of Medicine has been published in top journals including Nature, Science, and Cell, and has been featured in TIME, BBC, Scientific American, Discover, and other top media outlets.\n\xa0\nDr. Mark McLaughlin is a practicing board-certified neurosurgeon, a national media commentator, thought leader in performance enhancement, and author of the book, Cognitive Dominance: A Brain Surgeon\u2019s Quest to Outthink Fear.\n\xa0\nFind Dhru\u2019s full-length conversation with Dr. Andrew Huberman here: https://lnk.to/DrAndrewHuberman2/\xa0\n\xa0\nFind Dhru\u2019s full-length conversation with Dr. Mark McLaughlin here: https://lnk.to/DrMarkMclaughlin/\n\xa0\xa0\nThis episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers and Even.\nRight now, BiOptimizers is offering my community a few special bundles and for a limited time BiOptimizers is also giving away free bottles of their bestselling products P3OM and Masszymes with select purchases, just head over to magbreakthrough.com/dhru with code DHRU10.\nRight now, Even is offering my community free consultations and 20% off your first order.
