Cortisol: Your Emergency Broadcast System (#3 of 7) - Happy Brain Chemicals
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- This episode explains the job of cortisol, our unhappy chemical. You have power over your cortisol when you know how it works.
FULL VIDEO SERIES WITH A FREE ACTION GUIDE: innermammalins...
These 7 short videos show you how to build new neural pathways to turn on your happy brain chemicals in new and healthy ways. Anyone can do it by following these simple steps.
You'll learn:
- What turns on each happy chemicals in the state of nature, and why they're not on all the time.
- Why do our unhappy chemicals turn on so easily.
- Three simple steps to wire in new self-soothing skills, so you can replace an old habit that you're better off without
It’s hard to accept the fact that our happy chemicals can’t surge all the time. DOPAMINE only spurts when you approach a new reward. OXYTOCIN only spurts when you enjoy safety in numbers. SEROTONIN only spurts when you assert your social importance. You will not have peace if you rush to trigger more of these chemicals as soon as a spurt is over. You’ll have more peace in the long run if you get comfortable with the neutral feeling between these spurts.

THESE VIDEOS ARE SO COOL. Your videos are an amazing mix of science and psychology.
Thank you! I've just done a new series as an online course, to be released soon. Get the details on my site and newsletter: innermammalinstitute.org
This channel is so good, I hope the RUclips algorithm can do the works
So perhaps when children come home from school and play rather than study it's because they are trying to distract and counter balance their cortisol levels which have been elevated from a stressful school environment. That would mean it's not laziness, but rather a safety mechanism to maintain mental stability.
i only wish more parents understood this
Sex too
Mam I am from India, I've read your book 'habits of a happy brain' it's so interesting and things are explained so clearly that without the knowledge of neurobiology anyone can understand. Big thumbs up 👌 and thanks for your effort.
Thank you! Please spread the word.
By the second time she blew on that whistle my cortisol levels went sky high,
and my threat detector was laser-focused on her hands,
hoping there would be time to get my headphones off before the next blow.
Loved the video though. XD
the funnel did it for me
Thank you so much! I experience a lot of anxiety or stress, and have been smoking on and off for years now... I have finally thought to myself there must be a reason for why I can't seem to stop this, and others can.... I think I finally understand this better, and it feels helpful to see it in the light you are shining on this subject. Trying to mask high cortisol levels by elevating the happy chemicals, even though - you said it right - they are harming me in the long run..... Be it smoking, be it sugary foods, be it anything else that makes me feel "good".... Needing a drink when going to a party or social event etc. Really refreshing to look at it from a biochemical standpoint. Thanks!
Thank you! We're all in the same boat of course. Hope you'll join my 45-day Beyond Anxiety Challenge. innermammalinstitute.org/beyondanxietychallenge/
Nearly shat myself when you blew that whistle😂
Well done, thank you. I hope your knowledge and ability to share it is appreciated elsewhere, because these videos don't have anywhere close to the amount of views they deserve.
Thanks! Any marketing suggestions?
Really, that's an amazing illustration of the topic, you are the best.
Oh man, I love these videos. Thank you :)
Very interesting subject matter so far, I look forward to watch all your other videos. Thank you for creating this content.
Thank you , these a fantastic.
i am fascinates with your videos I just order 2 books tame the anxiety and Habits of a happy brain. Iam a psychologist and i am using it in my practice. I want to know more thanks very much. It has been very helpful to icrease my box of tools for my practice.
Always happy to answer questions: innermammalinstitute.org
Last time I ignored my cortisol alarm I got sick for a week from overwork. I've listened to it ever since.
Good point. Will add that to my upcoming Self-Acceptance video
Fascinating. It seems silly but it’s excellent cannot be presented any better.
Today I learnt a useful question: What is my cortisol past? ❤
Very useful to uncover it without hiding in it. Two of my books help you do that: Tame Your Anxiety: Rewiring Your Brain for Happiness. 14 Days to Sustainable Happiness
Antidepressant Can mess all this up
Thank you.
This explains ptsd so well omgggg 💖
without diseasifying
@@InnerMammalInstitute Yes! It's such a relief to know the "why" of thr lasting effects of experiences that you know you have gotten past. Thank you so much 😎💖✌
thanks a lots excellent 👌🏼
Wow. 😮
Love these videos im really in to nootropics herbs to have a better life doctor useally dont give u yhe right meds do i use certain drugs and nootropics
Love your videos, they are the best. But does the amygdala scan for threats instead of the cortex?
Cortex filters the flood of inputs to zero in on what's urgent. The amygdala helps you build the template of "what's urgent" from past experience to filter and respond to new experience. So they work together.
Hey, is it true that cortisol creates a sense of urgency that makes someone pull their hand out of a fire? I thought is it a mere reflex.
The reflex is to withdraw from pain, and the chemical is what tells you you're in pain. Imagine a baby. It doesn't "know" what fire is but it knows that when something hurts, you try to make it stop. That's cortisol.
👏👏
This is fantastic I am glad I was able to come across this, like many comments before me, it helps to explain what has been happening.
I do have a question though. When you state "Our mammal brain is triggered when we see a threat to our social support" do you have a real life example?
Youbhave half a chocolate bar at school to give your friend but someone else has a full chocalate bar to give your friend so you feel the threat of not being able to have that friend much longer because he goes to the full chocolate bar guy?
Is it a threat too your social standing as is?
Any clarification with an example would be unreal, from anyone if they can think of it.
Cheers!
Here's a wide range of examples: You see an attractive person flirting with your partner; Your health club loses its lease so you won't see your pals every day; your kids grow up and leave home; your boss focuses a lot of attention on a new coworker.
Inner Mammal Institute Fantastic thank you!
hey, so how to reduce cortisol faster. like it takes 2 hr to metabolise so how to metabolise faster.
Good question, addressed in my new book, ANXIETY: What turns it on. (only $5.) What turns it off. Also, drink water. I do not believe in hacks. If you try to rush it, you will get addicted to something harmful in the long run just to mask your anxiety in the short-un. You are better off turning it off at the source.
Poor monkey. Poor gazelle. Used and then abused. Thrown away once ur done with them.
Its all gues work no evidence
