Reprogram Your Brain to Destroy Laziness and Improve Focus with Dr. Andrew Huberman
b"This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers and Cozy Earth.\\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\\nOn today\\u2019s episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast, we are re-sharing Dhru\\u2019s interview with Dr. Andrew Huberman.
