There's this incredible researcher called King Lee in Japan who's done this whole research into forest bathing and what we call serum serotonin levels. And when humans are in forests, you build tons and tons of serotonin. So if you can ever get into a forest, that would be awesome. The other one for serotonin is your food.

If you can eat single ingredient foods, meaning steak, chicken, fish, eggs, yogurt, fruits, nuts, anything that just came from the jungle, basically, and has been here for hundreds of thousands of years, as opposed to ultra processed foods, that'd be great in nature and gut health. And then the final one, endorphins, either exercising hard, like you mentioned earlier, or singing music out loud.

Those are two methods that are really good. Oh, not my singing. It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad quality. I'm sure there's been a time in your life, maybe you're at like a bar or something and you were drinking and you had a good sing and you probably felt quite good when you were doing it.

For sure. And this is where, this is the most important factor. So it's good we've come to this idea. Four... All of humanity's evolution, dopamine was the primary chemical we were in the pursuit of because we would get dopamine hits off the main things that were keeping us alive.

So if we successfully stumbled across some fruit or if we caught an animal or if we built shelter or if we started a fire, these things that were essential for our survival that were a lot of effort to attain would create dopamine in our brain, they create satisfaction and they would help humanity survive. Without dopamine in the human brain, there would be no humans.

It drove us to do all these actions. In the modern world, Maybe about 500 to 1,000 years ago, we figured out how to hack dopamine for the first time with things like alcohol and tobacco. Those are the first sort of things that could create a very rapid stimulation of dopamine in an unnatural way. These were concepts that weren't from the natural world.

They were modern creations, especially as we began to harness them and chemically them more and more. And then we began inventing more stuff, pornography. We also invented social media, which is huge. And these kind of things overstimulate dopamine. They create this rapid increase in the chemical. And because of that rapid increase, we effectively burn out the dopamine engine.
