0:00today I'm joined by TJ power the UK's
0:02biggest neuroscientist with over 700,000
0:05Instagram followers he's the author of
0:06the book the dose effect and today he's
0:08going to be helping us understand about
0:10all the hormones that are imperative to
0:11making us feel
0:19good excuse the sweating we had to do
0:21the Jiu-Jitsu before the introduction
0:23but TJ power has a what would you call
0:25it the dose slogan acon acronym I could
0:28tell he well educated and that acronym
0:30dose which is dopamine oxy t o c i n
0:34serotonin what was one with the
0:37endorphins dophins now most people
0:40interchange these without really
0:41thinking about what they mean and in
0:43this video we're going to get to the
0:44bottom of exactly what they mean why
0:45they're important so next time you're
0:47with your friends having a conversation
0:48you can use the right one and someone
0:49can go yeah you know what that is
0:51endorphins not dopamine I'm just brought
0:54a neuroscientist to training what do you
0:56do you're a builder here today with TJ
0:58power we're going to go to jiujitsu
1:00first ever Jiu-Jitsu session what
1:02hormone are we trying to get from
1:05Jiu-Jitsu we're going to effectively try
1:06and get dopamine from getting into the
1:08Flow State getting into deep focus when
1:10we're out there then we're also going to
1:12get a bit of endorphins from the hard
1:13physical work have you ever considered
1:16doing Jiu-Jitsu before I have I've seen
1:18some of your content about it I've seen
1:19uh Russell BR talks about Jiu-Jitsu as
1:22well so I've been curious I know a lot
1:23of people say it's pretty good for your
1:24head good for your body as well so I'm
1:26curious to try even he started yeah I
1:29tackled him drunk in Vegas and he put me
1:30in one of the best Guillotines I've ever
1:32been just natural yeah [ __ ] man it
1:35was so annoying it was I I just didn't
1:37expect it I put my head in the wrong
1:39place I haven't lived it down since I've
1:41have a rematch in a couple of months oh
1:43yeah you're [ __ ] mate I'm going to be
1:44natural that's the plan yeah first time
1:47first time yeah first time it looks uh
1:50complicated which is actually so good
1:52for your brain like as soon as you're in
1:54a state where your brain has to hyper
1:56Focus you start building a ton of this
1:57dopamine chemical so this is I can why
2:00it's good for you for sure adrenaline
2:01and dopamine are like cousins in our
2:03brain that's why people get like hooked
2:04on skydiving for example CU they get
2:06dopamine here and adrenaline here and
2:08this is going to be a similar sort of
2:10concept whereby you're getting that F
2:11Spike of energy from adrenaline then
2:13you're also getting the Deep
2:14concentration from the if I try and put
2:16my weight on you so on your back if your
2:18sh's here I put my weight here if I say
2:20push me away now use your hands as well
2:24if I put hold on my body weight it's
2:26actually not too difficult now push me
2:27away now start to set up me away so
2:31you're fine because your legs are twis
2:33so my job was I'm passing is if I can
2:35get fast dra legs I come to this
2:38position now push me around now it's a
2:40lot more difficult CU I can't have your
2:41legs okay so we call this your so then
2:43if we swap position second and you try
2:46to go chest to chest on top of me and
2:47try on back if I can put my leg between
2:51I have a I can bring so try now to the
2:55chest on me and hold me down as I come
2:57up to fors I want you to put the other
2:58leg in on the leg this way that's good
3:02that's good something your
3:04B cool now go like
3:07this and now choke me into the
3:11T
3:13yeah so there yeah pass my G okay
3:17advance to a good
3:19position and it's all about submit
3:22that's and to initiate
3:24slap yeah that means we're going
3:39[Music]
3:44[Music]
3:57still now this kind of intense to quite
4:03difficult that Hur you about making
4:08you so
4:10now you can sit like St already you're
4:13exerting way too high so let's
4:17say your but for a
4:19sec I can very frantically try and
4:24or CH okay now your knees here pretty
4:29good for you cuz you can push me away
4:31yeah your knee's here yeah not so now
4:34bring my weight yeah I'm also I weigh
4:38the same asserting I weigh the same
4:41Cal oh yeah okay so my weight never
4:44changes they say a tired black belt is a
4:47white belt yeah so a tired white belt is
4:50a go on keep going
4:53F so it's up to me to try and make it
4:56more difficult by working angles using
4:59Lev Bridge so here for instance I have
5:01control of your right hip and your left
5:03shoulder oh yeah so because of this no
5:05matter how strong you are make it very
5:07difficult to advance cool you 3 one I'll
5:11come back to this now this isn't great
5:14for you but there's no immediate thrat
5:16okay so you're actually right so what
5:17you can do now is sit your butt and face
5:20me cool you're now back in your guard oh
5:24good this feels like a vulnerable
5:25position but it's actually good position
5:27best place you can be is on my back best
5:29place I can be is your back so if you go
5:31behind me here if I can get the
5:34opportunity and put my back to the map
5:36I'm now INF safe wa because you're now
5:39not on my back so now this is bad for me
5:42because although my back's on the map
5:44you're in a real advantageous position
5:46yeah so you can try bending my arms and
5:48try so now here's a here's the nice one
5:51put this
5:52hand put your elbows my
5:55ear grab my wrist cool but like clean
5:58your elbows that so now un Stu in this
6:00TR M yeah you're now left hand going to
6:02come under my clet here it go under and
6:05grab your WR now slowly because this is
6:08where you have to protect me as a
6:09training partner yeah you're going to
6:10lift my elbow up now you're going to
6:13paint a semicircle with my fingers
6:15towards your
6:16here this way and you get the top ah cuz
6:19that will [ __ ] out way from here when I
6:22get to this bit here this is where I go
6:24chill I kind of look at my partner and
6:26I'm like hey do you want me to do this
6:28and then very slow an in professional
6:30level you would break would you have the
6:32right to break it yeah cuz the second
6:34you get here you probably tap they would
6:35just not let them get someone gets that
6:38I'm like yep I'm like you can have
6:41it there's some electrolytes in there as
6:43well highest sweating sport in the
6:58world ni right it's like it's not like
7:00you're getting whacked you're not taking
7:02any damage you're getting like a nice
7:04your musle is pretty hard and so much
7:07like a human chess I do something I want
7:10a reaction the reason people get better
7:12is they get better at knowing what
7:14reactions to look for you're actually
7:16quite strong you're quite you're very
7:18ProActive at trying to keep me off like
7:20for I I'm actually relatively impressed
7:22with even just giving you that very
7:25basic guide retention drill yeah it's
7:26good be able to move the legs around
7:28that you shut down quite a lot in my to
7:29pass stay chill stay bre if you finish
7:32the round with energy no one's going to
7:33go over your [ __ ] [ __ ] but if you
7:35gas out with a minute to go they're
7:36going to go look at him pathetic stra
7:39for
7:44that it's got to trle that's not good
7:46that start how endorphins this chemical
7:50evolved in our brain is when we're under
7:52extreme physical danger has hunted
7:54gather as me to run or fight an animal
7:56this chemical pump through our brain and
7:58body in order to take the stress out of
8:00our thoughts so that we're in that
8:01situation like [ __ ] I'm going to die we
8:03just got locked in the harder you
8:05physically push yourself the more
8:06endorphins release so on those days
8:08where work or family is super stressful
8:10it's hard physical work that is
8:12scientifically the best way to d-stress
8:14your thoughts dopamine what is dopamine
8:17dopamine basically evolved in our brain
8:19to give us drive to do hard things
8:22anytime as we're evolving as humans we
8:24had to do a lot of hard [ __ ] making
8:26fires hunting building shelter and it's
8:28this chemical that made doing hard
8:30things feel good so Jiu-Jitsu that first
8:33thing we did on the white board dopamin
8:35would you say that was dopamin yeah
8:37Jiu-Jitsu is an interesting one cuz
8:39anytime you're in deep states of
8:40concentration for prolonged periods of
8:42time you're building a ton of dopy so
8:44that can be in work it could also be in
8:46something like Jiu-Jitsu like your brain
8:48has to get so hyper focused on one thing
8:51in that pursuit of deep focus your brain
8:53is generating dopamine so is dopamine
8:55like considered a good or a bad hormone
8:59because some people can get like bad
9:01habits or
9:02dopamine uh they do things just for hits
9:04to dopamine like scrolling on their
9:06phone right dopamine is both creating
9:08the most amazing world in the world most
9:10amazing world we've ever seen but it's
9:13also causing all of our difficulty at
9:15the same time because we have two
9:17elements of dopamine we have quick and
9:19slow dopamine when we're doing that
9:20Jiu-Jitsu when you start you don't
9:22immediately feel amazing but gradually
9:25as you're getting into it you start to
9:26get more and more pleasure from The
9:27Experience so doing is generating slowly
9:30in your brain when I take out my phone
9:32if I took it out hour went on Tik Tok
9:34dopamine would rapidly generate in my
9:35brain then it would crash out causing
9:37like this L it makes you demotivated it
9:39makes you procrastinate all and now the
9:42sound of this car when I rev
9:47it what hormone are we feeling then that
9:50is going to be dope me that's like an
9:51exciting pleasure experience anything
9:53that's like novel like anything new is
9:55like oh wow dope for me dope for me and
9:57like especially when you first got the
9:59car you'd never done it before you would
10:01have got this massive doam in there yeah
10:03it's like when you first buy a car
10:04you're driving it home you're like oh my
10:06God that's just dop me and then that
10:09wears off over time that does wear off
10:11over time but in that situation if you
10:13had won the lottery and bought the car
10:15with the money you wouldn't have
10:16necessarily earned that dopamine because
10:18so it wouldn't have felt as satisfying
10:20but because you've worked extremely hard
10:21for like a decade in order to attain the
10:23car you have actually earned the
10:25experience of purchasing it so that's
10:26going to actually last that feeling of
10:28satisfaction that is very interesting I
10:30like that suddenly you made me feel
10:32better about it I thought I was just
10:34doing something for dopamine but you're
10:36right yeah and of course you want to be
10:37careful material stuff you you can get
10:40over hooked on that cuz then you can
10:41keep wanting more and more and more but
10:43there's an element of like if you feel
10:44like you've earned something like when I
10:46first signed the book deal I felt like
10:48wow I can take myself on a cool holiday
10:50and stuff like that cuz I'd earned that
10:51experience and getting there and
10:53there'll be a link for the book in the
10:54description
10:59[Music]
11:02all within the speed limit as well can
11:04you believe it that's going to move us
11:05on to the next hormone down which is
11:08oxytocin yeah oxytocin is fascinating
11:10oxytocin basically involved to connect
11:12humans together in the moment we're born
11:15oxytocin surges through our brain and
11:17our mom's brain you've experienced this
11:18recently with your partner and your son
11:20being born and as we go through life we
11:23start building friendships relationships
11:25romantic relationships and it's driving
11:27that desire to connect with humans wow
11:30okay so now we're going to try and
11:32maximize our oxytocin the best we bloody
11:35can we'll move us on to the next part of
11:37the video oxytocin talk to me about
11:40oxytocin always the whole chemical is
11:42designed to faecally connect humans
11:44anytime you having good conversations
11:46with humans socializing physically
11:49connecting hanging out with dogs like
11:51this anything that's bonding you with
11:53species is creating
11:55oxytocin this for example as soon as you
11:57make contact is oxytocin in our modern
11:59world we are super dopamine driven we're
12:02obsessed with either either success or
12:04pleasuring our brains and progressively
12:06we've started to fall back on how much
12:08oxytocin is generated in our brain the
12:10more every day you're thinking about how
12:12you connect with humans the more you
12:13generate second you start filming
12:15alarm's going off that is a breathing
12:17sensor so baby in bed at night few weeks
12:21ago started sleeping face down as babies
12:23like to sleep so in the middle of your
12:25night I'm like why is my baby trying to
12:26kill itself going face down so I'm
12:27Googling it I'm like should sleep face
12:29down apparent it's normal he loves it
12:31now so every time he's in bed boom face
12:34plants the mat so we to get a sensor
12:35that has an alarm so t n just pick the
12:37baby up do you know without oxytocin
12:40being in your brain you would have no
12:42interest in even figuring out why that
12:43was a problem for your baby like the
12:45neurobiological reason you actually care
12:47about that baby is because his chemical
12:49is driving you to think oh that's my
12:51being I got to keep that safe that would
12:52mean that till before having kids I
12:54wouldn't say that I had much of that
12:55hormone I I don't even care about other
12:57people's kids that much I for it out
12:58there kid falls over I found it funny
13:01now I've had kids and a kid falls over I
13:03feel bad throughout that period where
13:04your partner was pregnant and then that
13:06whole period of actually raising the
13:07baby from when it was born your brain
13:09would have been generating tons of it as
13:11that creating that desire to contribute
13:13hey
13:17man oh look at your teary eyes look at
13:20you you're ready for camera aren't you
13:23Happ good morning good morning sir did
13:27you have a good he loves his dad D look
13:29at that did you have a good
13:31sleep and then in his brain oxytocin is
13:34being created like right in these
13:35moments and anytime a baby can either
13:38see their parent or they can hear their
13:40voice they're generating oxytocin hello
13:43I am your
13:44father so yeah this is Ken he's going to
13:47take over all the social
13:48channels in 20 years isn't you hey yeah
13:53there we go where else is oxytocin
13:56prevalent do you know something that's
13:58crazy is as he's growing up anytime as I
14:01say he can hear your voice in another
14:02room it's creating oxytocin in him and
14:04calming his stress hormones cuz he knows
14:06oh my mom and dad are nearby what theyve
14:08basically discovered is that when two
14:10humans are texting one another whether
14:11you're like starting to date someone or
14:13you're calling your family when you text
14:15no oxytocin releases because there's no
14:16sound of voice and as soon as you call
14:18someone and hear their voice oxytocin
14:20starts to generate you think in our
14:21world now where so many of our
14:23relationships are maintained through
14:24like WhatsApp and I message or like you
14:26start dating on a dating app you're not
14:29generating the chemical that bonds you
14:30together so hearing voices is actually
14:32vital that's so interesting cuz I refuse
14:33to have phone calls my phone's been on
14:35do not disturb for about 6 years now it
14:37sounds really bad but like for me if
14:40can't let me hand over the baby Alfie's
14:42brought you a door stop down there show
14:44that Declan Alfie's been kind enough to
14:45bring him a door stop what's up
14:48man dogs are then also so good and as we
14:52said cortisol is the stress hormone
14:54comes into your gut and anytime you're
14:58super stressed out if you you can
14:59physically connect with a dog it's
15:00another thing that oxytocin is going to
15:01calm your system down have a dog in the
15:04house yeah for me when people call me up
15:06I'm like for me efficiency is a very
15:09important part of life so you're a
15:11dopamine junkie yeah I'm a dopamine guy
15:13so I'm like what do you want they're
15:14like is everything okay I'm like why are
15:15you asking me a question on top of the
15:17question I just asked you efficiency is
15:20key what do you want let's get it over
15:22with so these are the 20 most
15:23scientifically backed actions to boost
15:25these brain chemicals if we have a
15:27little look at this for for example we
15:29both had our cold showers after
15:31Jiu-Jitsu currently we're getting off
15:32our phones when you're taking a break
15:34from your phone it's awesome discipline
15:36is good flow state is when we got into
15:38deep focus these are the kind of things
15:40that are great oxytocin this chemical
15:42we're on now social connection you and I
15:44bonding up physical touch babies humans
15:47dogs anything so these are the kind of
15:49actions that are causing these chemicals
15:51to rise we have serotonin these are big
15:54deep breathing patterns we call this
15:55underthinking it slows your brain Down
15:58nutrition obviously a big element of
15:59what you talk about we're about to be
16:01outdoors in the sunlight for our next
16:03activity we're going to be in the nature
16:06so this is like the mood chemical 90% of
16:08Serotonin is generated in your gut which
16:10is crazy and it evolved as a chemical to
16:13effectively make us take care of our
16:14body and then we have endorphins we were
16:16talking about this in Jiu-Jitsu anytime
16:18we're putting our body under extreme
16:20physical load we're experiencing this
16:22rise in endorphin from the exercise the
16:24stretching of the body when your body
16:25gets extremely hot and then also if we
16:28have some fun today and some laughter
16:29we're going to get the endorphins up and
16:31if people wanted to learn more about
16:33this stuff imagine if you had a book oh
16:36wait we'll put a link in the
16:39description so you're like a a better
16:42version of Andrew hubman the next one
16:44maybe oh fantastic serotonin from the
16:47sea the sand the heat the sunlight and
16:50the sunlight let's go whilst we're doing
16:52a a full video about the brain and
16:55Neuroscience wouldn't it be
16:59amazing if they were now Stay classy we
17:01don't need to promote it on the video
17:03come
17:04on towels Beach Swim serotonin you bring
17:10the oxy don't you so now serotonin
17:13something like we're out in sunlight
17:16anytime you're in good natural
17:17environments you're getting the sasone
17:19in if that water's cold it's going to be
17:21dopamine as well for our fortunately not
17:23is it not cold we were this morning it's
17:25not too hot not too cold one of the
17:29rules that we try and get people to live
17:30by is the idea of sunlight before social
17:33media every day the sunlight being
17:35ridiculously good for your serotonin and
17:37not going on social media first thing is
17:39so good for restoring your dopamine
17:40system so would you say you come out
17:43here before you go on social media this
17:45morning I came out here before I brushed
17:46my teeth go came here with the dog but
17:50most days I walk the dog I have a
17:53harness that goes around my waist he's
17:54on a bungee and I just go on my phone
17:56while I'm walking so I'm mixing the both
17:58at the same same time but um we might
18:00have to change that up for the start of
18:02the day being no could you do no phone
18:04first thing do you think no cuz when the
18:05UK are awake and they've been awake all

19:26what is your brain dead [ __ ] uh watching
19:28fail compilations what YouTube or Tik
19:31Tok yeah car video get YouTube cuz then
19:33I can sit with the baby yeah then uh
19:36maybe do a couple more hours work 4: to
19:38600 yeah if I have it then we watch TV
19:42uh 7 to 8:30 go to bed now here's
19:45something that could be quite
19:47controversial I love a good hour of just
19:50Doom scrolling before bed right okay but
19:53it doesn't hinder my sleep it doesn't
19:55stop me falling asleep it's my 1 hour
19:57why I don't think about about anything
19:59important so when Tay says to me oh by
20:01the way we've got this I'm like nah this
20:03is my time to not think about anything
20:05that's important and then like after
20:07that I do exactly what everyone says I
20:09get the blue light in my eyes I Doom
20:11scrub whatever yeah then I sleep and I
20:13sleep for as long until the baby wakes
20:15me up and what does your doom scull
20:17involve cuz it's actually not just phone
20:19equals bad it depends on the app you're
20:22on and stuff like that for you page Tik
20:24Tok hit me and I'm like is there
20:27something funny enough the t's getting
20:29her toe touched under the covers have a
20:31look at this but we both just sit there
20:33in bed with our feet touching we do it
20:35for like half an hour an hour at the
20:37same time and then you hear each other's
20:38TI and then I can hear her giggling at
20:40stuff and then I'm like oh what have you
20:42got over there and then we go to bed and
20:44do you also do SC in the morning no no I
20:48couldn't get caught in a Vortex on the
20:49dog walk but mostly it's wor okay
20:52putting out fires how many times do you
20:54reckon you open Tik Tok a day uh Tik Tok
20:57not not a huge deal mostly Instagram my
21:00bad habit is I will open Instagram and
21:02go to my inbox without even thinking
21:04about it okay so I do move the apps
21:06around yeah to then realize how [ __ ]
21:09autopilot that [ __ ] is there's a
21:11ridiculously good software I've put on
21:13that makes it take 20 seconds for
21:15Instagram to open so you click the app
21:17and you have to sit there for 20 seconds
21:19considering whether you're going to
21:20actually need to go on it that that sort
21:22of thing can help a lot what's the app
21:23called it's called one set it is very
21:26good I don't necessarily provide it but
21:27it's very good yeah I'm so hooked on
21:30social media that I've had to create
21:31this rule whereby I can only go on it at
21:3310 a.m. 300 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. and I
21:37have to earn those moments I have to
21:38earn it in the morning earn it in the
21:40afternoon earn it in the evening and the
21:42evening one I have to make sure I've had
21:43my dinner and washed up my dinner before
21:45I can have that that chill moment on
21:47social media oh look serotonin in the
21:49wild serotonin the Wild and because
21:51they're bonding because they don't know
21:52each other so they're now building a
21:54friendship they're getting
21:56oxytocin if they're finding it cold it's
21:59both me did you look at that so i' be
22:02guilty I've been guilty of just throwing
22:04around terminologies I don't really know
22:06which one's which but after today Dean
22:09it's going to be difficult to make that
22:10mistake again I'm not going to comment
22:12about a swimwear attire that's good
22:14swimwear Tire I reckon do you know what
22:16the hardest part of wearing swim shorts
22:18they get those nice shorts they don't
22:19look like this like J do you know what
22:21the hardest hardest thing of swim shorts
22:23is telling your parents yeah
22:28come
22:42on yeah I went to a phase of my life
22:44where definitely used to love MDMA the
22:47crazy thing is when you get a social
22:48media following you can't enjoy MDMA
22:50anymore because you'll be at a festival
22:52You' be coming up on MD listening to a
22:54song someone's like oh M I'll follow you
22:56on Facebook you're like oh you're right
22:58mate oh yeah my man loves your [ __ ] oh
23:00cheers mate cheers right you just want
23:02to be there right yeah and then kman
23:05gets a bad RP but sometimes a little bit
23:08of C in dance FL with your mates have a
23:11little bit of a boogie no come down you
23:13find it addictive no not really I don't
23:15even find the idea of going out and
23:17having fun addi like how you Reon you go
23:20out and buy now every 6 months oh really
23:24what every 6 months used to be every 6
23:26days you know what I can't I don't even
23:28enjoy alcohol anymore I'm saying today I
23:31can't have one beer and enjoy it yeah
23:33cuz you start getting that voice in your
23:34head of I want more I want more and then
23:36you have to battle the resistance not
23:38even that like I know that one beer
23:41really negates my quality of sleep yeah
23:43so I'm like okay you're in that shallow
23:45you're like away am I am I going to uh
23:48reduce my sleep by 30% also here it is
23:51my blood alcohol can only ever go off
23:53the second it starts coming down I'm
23:55hating life yeah so the idea of having
23:57two beers at 2: p.m. in the afternoon
23:58and going about your day basic me
24:00depressed no cuz when it wears off the
24:02dopamine crash it's so be yeah so I'd
24:04rather just not have it probably while
24:06like Australia I could never even put my
24:07finger on it here there's so much more
24:09of a natural dose of those things
24:11whereas where you don't have them you
24:13need to get them from other means like
24:14if you said to me now all James you've
24:16got a condition you're never going to be
24:17able to drink alcohol again I probably
24:19wouldn't be that disappoint oh oh no and
24:23if I said you can never come out here
24:24again I'll kill
24:26myself so with this day we've been
24:28having we've now hit all four chemicals
24:31remember dope means the chemical that
24:33gets boosted when we do hard things that
24:35focus our brain when we were in that
24:36Jiu-Jitsu and we were deep focused that
24:38was generating it the other part of DOP
24:40mean is we're always thinking about how
24:42can we reduce the quick dop me into our
24:45brain from the social media the sugar
24:47the booze and so on this whole time for
24:49these hours we've been together neither
24:50of us have been on WhatsApp we haven't
24:52been on our email we haven't been on
24:53social media I call that phone fasting
24:56like fasting from the tech so that's
24:57been awesome for the dop mean oxytocin
24:59we've been connecting up with one
25:01another connecting with the baby
25:02connecting with the dog building our
25:04friendship and relationship which is
25:05generating that never met before never
25:07met before this is true oxy comeing to
25:10my house you stranger I just turned off
25:12and I was like right mate dose day do
25:14day today serotonin we've been out in
25:16the nature the sunlight and then
25:18endorphins that hard physical work from
25:20the Jiu-Jitsu the're swimming so we are
25:22fully dosed and every day you want to be
25:24thinking I'm doing something hard for
25:26dopamine I'm doing something that
25:27connects me with humans I'm doing
25:28something outdoors in nature and I'm
25:30physically pushing my body for the
25:32Endorphin and if someone isn't getting
25:34those things they got to start
25:36prioritizing them right for sure it
25:38makes a ridiculous difference to your
25:40life if in your life you hadn't just
25:43gone through a serious life event like a
25:45a breakup or you're going through grief
25:47but you feel like you're struggling with
25:48your mental health you're feeling low
25:50mood low motivation if you're not going
25:53through a big life event it's very
25:54likely that your lifestyle is causing an
25:56imbalance in these brain chemicals and
25:58that is then sending a message to your
25:59brain creating that difficulty in your
26:02thoughts so beginning to think each day
26:04how can I boost one of these up you
26:06don't have to do loads of stuff just one
26:07or two actions it's going to start
26:09transforming how you feel in your head
26:11cuz I think modern day life people seem
26:13to think that your Baseline is happiness
26:16and anything below that but really you
26:18have to support feeling good you have to
26:20promote you have to pay into the bank CU
26:23if you don't your Baseline then starts
26:25to fall below zero like some people
26:27think oh I should just be unless someone
26:29dies when the truth is go way the truth
26:31is your mental health is like a table
26:33that needs to be propped up it doesn't
26:35even cost much it's just with all these
26:37brain chemicals it is so important to
26:39understand that we spent 300,000 years
26:42in Sim similar physical forms to this as
26:44Homo sapiens and we were running around
26:46in groups in tribes making fires hunting
26:48connecting with one another and these
26:50brain chemicals were evolving in that
26:52period of time they didn't just appear
26:53in the last 20 years they were evolving
26:55for a lifestyle of Hard Work Connection
26:58and natural living and in our modern
27:00world we have just moved to the complete
27:01opposite so they're dropping and every
27:03day if you're thinking something like
27:04jiujitsu that's really bringing you back
27:07to how we originally were designed to be
27:09we would have been in those like
27:10physical fights all the time well I hope
27:12you enjoyed the video uh socials TJ
