hi guys in this video we’re going to

talk about how to raise something called

dopamine dopamine is what’s called a

motivational molecule because it

actually improves your motivation your

get-up-and-go your ability to jump out

of bed so when you’re deficient in it

you can’t get out of bed you lose your

focus you lose your cognitive function

become depressed at anxiety apathetic

feet and hands get cold decrease libido

mental sluggishness carb cravings other

than that you’re perfectly fine so

there’s certain unhealthy things that

will trigger dopamine as well like crack

cocaine for example little baby right

here it’s called cocaine right when a

person gets hooked and addicted to crack

what’s happening is that this drug is

triggering this neurotransmitter which

is elevating the your mood and different

cognitive functions temporarily

gibble me and then what happens is the

more you do it the more you lose the

effect the more that you want to do it

so you’re in this really terrible cycle

because it needs more and more cocaine

to stimulate the same amount of dopamine

so you become very very addicted and of

course what it’s doing all the time it’s

giving you this artificial sensation

which then gives you the need for more

and more of it so it’s it’s a bad habit

now the other thing is if you consume

caffeine for example or any type of

stimulants what you’re doing is you’re

triggering dopamine over and over and

over again and then you’ll every time

you do it over time you lose that effect

so you need more and more coffee

more and more stimulants to create the

same effect just like any drug so let’s

talk about what dopamine is it’s a

neurotransmitter okay neural

transmitters are similar to hormones in

that their communication particles yet

the neurotransmitters communicate to the

nervous system where about hormones

communicate through the blood okay that

would be the difference okay so there

are things that you can do to stimulate

the production of dopamine like taking

l-tyrosine as an amino acid which is a

precursor because maybe you need more

raw material or improving the stomach

acids so you can break down the proteins

to formulate this neurotransmitter those

are some things and by the way the way

that you would know that you wouldn’t

have enough stomach acid is if you would

have gas indigestion or bloating

okay then you’d want to add outside of

vinegar something like maybe something

like patanè hydrochloride just to

increase the acidity so you can make

more of this neurotransmitter on a

flipside you also have reducing stress

too much stress in cortisol will nullify

the production of dopamine okay and this

is actually really really important so

you would want to maybe take some B one

from nutritional yeast but let’s say for

example you have a history of being a

drug addict and you’re like you’re in a

really bad state right now and you want

to spike it up there’s a type of B one

called cell Butte to mean

so yes it’s synthetic but it’s stronger

and if you use it on a temporary basis

it’ll actually be okay

but just make sure that you take it in a

blend of nutritional yeast so therefore

you’re not depleting any of the other

factors any time you take excessive

amounts of a certain isolated synthetic

vitamin you can deplete the other

vitamins that normally come and that

complex and this goes for vitamin C

vitamin B vitamin E across the boards

rhodiola is another herb to help

decrease stress holy basil is another

one that’s really good to lower stress

as well and the next thing is to reduce

sugars okay because what that does is it

sets up a situation that you get insulin

resistance insulin resistance is a

situation when you can’t absorb these

amino acids to make the

neurotransmitters so you would have to

fix this insulin resistance to be able

to have this work and everything else is

not going to work unless you fix that

point because it’s kind of like the the

door that allows everything to go in

there to kick it in and make it work

correctly and there’s something else you

can take to actually improve dopamine

levels and it’s something called uridine

okay it’s a natural chemical that is in

nutritional yeast but it’s really good

for cognitive issues helping to

stimulate more dopamine but if I were

you I would take a nutritional yeast by

itself that way you can actually get

this right here

and the b1 and actually improve that

situation okay lastly get more Sun more

Sun will improve the dopamine levels as

well alright thanks for watching hey if
