Nothing personal; I'm explaining it to scientists too because they don't see it this way. (The medical model ignores the animal origins because they want to believe animals are always nice.)
eugkra33 we have 2 minds - The Conscious Mind and the Subconscious. The Subconscious is the most powerful and yet immature and childlike. This lady is very clever at targeting the part of your mind that would really have a lasting impact.
eugkra33 - I know what you mean and I don’t think your comment was a criticism. I like to think of myself as smart, but this is complicated and I appreciate the effort to make it understandable.
So eating a protein bar after running a 5K fundraiser for your local church ought get you all four! So religion is a big boost of Oxy and Serotonin. Add in lunch afterward, and you've got most of it explained. This is really great starter video.
Knowledge is power and you delivered it in such a beautiful, sophisticated, yet simple and easy to understand manner. I have ADHD and bipolar II disorder. I am also in EMDR therapy. Learning how each of these chemicals naturally operate in my body is beyond beneficial in helping me learn how to manage my mental health. Thank you for the content!
You remind me of Amy on the TV show Big Bang Theory... It's a good thing! She's a brain researcher in a major university. Your mannerisms are very similar and you even look like her, sort of. lol No really I enjoyed your video very much! Thank you. I've even subscribed! By the way, I do not believe in the theory of evolution. But I like you...
Hahaha. I'm 20+ years older so I'll take it as a compliment! And thank you for being open to the mutual respect view of life, which I incorporate into all of my work.
They are designed to go up and down. They are designed to spurt in appropriate moments, not to flow all the time. The whole idea of "levels" is an illusion that comes from pharma and academia. Check out this better way of looking at it: ua-cam.com/video/emsI9pxYWUQ/v-deo.html
Mostly dopamine, as the calories tell your brain "I am meeting a need." If you want to eat less, focus on other ways of meeting your needs, and practice telling yourself "I am meeting a need." For example, take small steps toward a goal you love. It all depends on the wiring you built from past experience. For example, if you linked the food to social support in your past, it triggers oxytocin. If you linked it to social power, it triggers serotonin. For example, if you were told NOT to eat a cookie food and you grab it anyway, you feel power and you eat more cookies because it triggers your sense of power.
To replace a habit, build a new habit- watching this series to the end explains. Weed kills your short-term memory so cutting back will be its own reward, but you can create a new relaxation ritual. A big part is to know that you're not really threatened when your threat chemicals turn on. And when your happy chemicals dip for a moment, you're still find. You don't need to be soaring all the time to feel safe. Happy chemicals mask bad feelings but we can manage bad feelings by facing them and they just melt. Here's a good resource: ua-cam.com/video/mT479Qaq-Ow/v-deo.html&feature=emb_title
Question for all here: Take 2 situations: You and your partner are in love, that is oxytocin. Now your boss says something that implies his superiority. You will certainly tap into cortisol, but what will your boss tap into? Oxcytocin (moral recognition), doppamin (chasing the winning position) or serotonin/endorfin (enjoying his comfortable position)?
Serotonin is the one-up feeling. You don't hear this from mainstream sources because it conflicts with beliefs. But... it's easy to blame your boss. We all want the one-up feeling. When we don't get it, we suffer and blame. We blame the boss for feelings that we created...because we're mammals.
Endorphins are there for emergency not for partying 😂 But if the people are too intoxicated throw a party. Even if that party is about beating someone up 😜
Thank you. And please explain the same kind of things very clearly more, but never do it in this way again. It is annoying. Your target audience is not kindergarten, right?
I didn't understand. Because to understand more and better it should be explained with simple words, sentences and examples. So I don't like the way you teach.
I really love the concept of the video! It entertains and at the same time it teaches a bunch of useful information. Much more people should see this video as "happy chemicals" are often misunderstood and used in a same context although they do have different functions in mammalian organisms.
When women have low serotonin levels Zoloft can turn their life around. My daughter is Korean, we brought her to to America and adopted her when she was 4 months old. When she was in 8th grade she stared to get depressed for no apparent reason, to the point she couldn't go to school. Understand, she was a very good student, completely happy and normal up till then. Luckily we were recommended to a very good child psychologist who figured it out. Around 50% of Korean females have low serotonin levels, showing up around the teen years. Within 2 days on Zoloft we had a normal kid again! She is now 43, married, still happy, and still on Zoloft. The other plus was she missed so much of 8th grade she would have failed, so we homeschooled her all the way until she entered college and then finished 4 years on the Deans List. Getting her out of the public school system was a HUGE bonus. She was doing 1st year college work in homeschool. The local high school fought us the whole way, which made it even more rewarding, fighting a very flawed system of "education". We opened a lot of doors to alternative schooling back then.
Man, and I have been watching lectures, I mean, this woman is doing it in a very simple and meaningful way, which cause a significant understanding of the subject. Definitely loved it.
Thank you I hate when people talk down to me but I appreciate the simplicity in your explanations and the visual aspects of this video were nicely done everyone watching with me was able to understand and follow along
@innermammalinstitute Do we increase our serotonin release when we compare ourselves to ourselves and feel we’re “superior” or somewhere better today than yesterday OR does this only work when in comparison to other people? I appreciate your time and explanation please! Thank YOU!
For each person, whatever triggered your serotonin in youth paved the neural pathway that turns it on for you today. We can build a new pathway to feel confident in our own power regardless of those petty social comparisons of daily life, but it's hard work. It takes a lot of repetition to build a new pathway in adulthood, and we're not very motivated because it doesn't feel as good to pat yourself on the back as it does to get the world's applause. This is why people tend to fall back on whatever got them attention and respect when they were young, even when they hate the results. Remember that people mostly get applause after they die. While they're alive, their contributions are criticized. So don't make yourself miserable over that quest for the world's applause. Just presume you'll get it when you're gone and start enjoying it now. :) This is the subject of my book, Status Games: Why We Play and How to Stop. (Good question!)
For example ; sexual intercourse. Internet says endorphins and oxytocin are secreted but I dont see why dopamin wouldnt according to this's video definition: reward system ?
WOW! Dr. Loretta really has the knowledge and the skills to communicate this information. It is such a pleasure to be guided into that world by such gifted scientist. THANK YOU!!!!
So extremely simplified, it's not entirely accurate. These aren't solid rules of neurotransmitters, but yes this gives a basic basic understanding of the chemicals.
Academic neuroscience is built on the romantic view of the state of nature and thus ignores the unpleasant motivations of animals. They want us to think happiness flows effortlessly in nature and everything bad is caused by "our society." This is simply false.
@@InnerMammalInstitute I agree with you somewhat, however my comment was meant to take issue with how you described serotonin, it has so many important functions in sleep,appetite,mood, etc. but you simplified it down to feeling superior to others. Simply ridiculous. Then, dopamine doesn't just constantly get higher as you look at something or get closer to it...it goes down and the effect of just looking at it weakens. Then you explained cortisol completely wrong. This video is so simplified that viewers are definitely not leaving with a deep or even good understanding of all these neurotransmitters...
@@victoriamarion6141 Yes, that's all explained in my books. This is just a fast intro to the core impulse without all the context. I'd be happy to send you a free pdf if you'd like.
The Angels & Demons are within - one can become the other too....Who decides? Who is this Me within deciding? Its my past, my genes & the need of Nature 🤔
Sorry but the animal hats and toys, pointlessly dripping water into a wheel is incredibly distracting and patronising. This is mainly adult or college level content being explained to me like I'm in a library nursery. Good content but very poor choice of delivery. Dislike from me.
I wish neuroscience was taught in school instead of learning history and two extra languages i would never speak. And i hope teachers teach the same way u did...😔
@@InnerMammalInstitute Yes... ever since Zoloft... super calm even she had a cut in the kitchen. I guess I just have to be a happy monk until she can come off.
@@InnerMammalInstitute I got first 2 books now, 3rd one on the way. Already began reading first one and underline all the important points, very well written book already show all the important points. Good website too, really help with learning on the website with more graphic. Thanks again :)

But you can't eat all the time. That's why we need deeper strategies. For example, planning your fundraiser.
Literally need my professors to teach me like this lmfaooo

Thanks
Very clear. You make sophisticated topics simple ! Genius
great job very easy to understand
Great explanation. Thank you so much. I bought the book🙋🏻♂️
This helped sooooooooo MUCH!!!! Thank you lady THANK YOU!
I'm so glad you get it! Much more about it on my website: innermammalinstitute.org
This is the best explanation ever thank you so much!!
Oryx is not gazelle btw, its antelope.
I wonder if the oxytocin typo in the label was deliberate o.O
Definitely experienced a trickle of endorphins while watching this video
I love this lady
Thank you madam
One of the best explanation 😀
Happy and informative video.
Oxytocin spelled wrong
What are the normal serotonin and dopamine levels in a human?
They are designed to go up and down. They are designed to spurt in appropriate moments, not to flow all the time. The whole idea of "levels" is an illusion that comes from pharma and academia. Check out this better way of looking at it: ua-cam.com/video/emsI9pxYWUQ/v-deo.html
what chemicals are triggered by sugar and carbs?
Mostly dopamine, as the calories tell your brain "I am meeting a need." If you want to eat less, focus on other ways of meeting your needs, and practice telling yourself "I am meeting a need." For example, take small steps toward a goal you love. It all depends on the wiring you built from past experience. For example, if you linked the food to social support in your past, it triggers oxytocin. If you linked it to social power, it triggers serotonin. For example, if you were told NOT to eat a cookie food and you grab it anyway, you feel power and you eat more cookies because it triggers your sense of power.
very insightful
Thats way you feel right before doing drugs
Damn this shit freaks me out lol
We need to release oxytocin in order to tolerate each other 😂 2:30
Brilliant.
Tell me how these brain chemicals work like I’m a 5 year old...oh...thanks
I stumbled upon this while searching for dopamine replacement upon cutting weed. Anything in particular that concerns this topic? Thanks.

@@InnerMammalInstitute Sounds like we will again have some tubes and trying to drain some colorful water with that tubes :D

Thank you. This explaination was lovely.
Wow you're the best teacher ever. I spend months trying to learn this concept but learnt it in your 8 minute video thank you!
It may seem childish but I now have a mental reference when trying to remember what each chemical does.
Oxytocin is also released during breastfeeding... to promote the mother/child bond 💖
This is hilarious. And very good science. 🤓✌️
Mam I'm from Pakistan I'm big fan of you lot of love from Pakistan lahore
Am I the only one to realise the Oxytocin bottle said "Oxtyocin" at 2:11? That cracked me up

Sadly we are slaves of those chemicals
I love your videos and channel. So educational!!! My wife is on the Zoloft.... wondering why too much serotonin would cause sexual dysfunction??
In nature, serotonin has the function of calming the dominant individual, which prevents conflict. Maybe non-natural intake means too much calm.
