There's a fish on it.

It's been gone in there for like... Oh, look at that.

There's a fish on it.

I swear to God, this went in the water at 9 o'clock last night.

It's now 10 o'clock the next morning and I caught my fishing rod.

There's a fish on it.

No, that's a fish.

That's definitely a fish.

Our brain chemicals are a fascinating world to investigate.

We have these four that I'm particularly focused on in my research lab.

Dopamine, which is super famous, oxytocin, serotonin and endorphins.

And they very conveniently spell the acronym DOSE.

These chemicals evolved over a huge period of time.

For our pre-hominin ancestors, 2.5 million years.

For our homo sapien ancestors, 300,000 years.

And they really evolved for a very different experience of life, one that was deeply connected with nature, tons of sunlight, tons of movement, tons of effort.

Our environment now is very different to the one that humanity grew up in, and it's causing disruptions to the balance of these chemicals.

Yeah, so with each of these chemicals and our whole goal with DoseLab is to really demystify these rather than just seeing them as sort of like quote unquote happy hormones.

They have very specific functions.

So for example, how it may show up for us is if our dopamine level was very low, we'd find it really hard to take action towards any form of goal.
