Summary

In this episode, I'm thrilled to continue our enlightening discussion with T.J. Power, the lead neuroscientist at Dose Lab and author of the groundbreaking book, "The Dose Effect." Building upon our previous conversation, we dive deep into how different neurochemicals influence our emotions and overall mental health, with a specific emphasis on the prominence of dopamine and the often-overlooked importance of oxytocin.

We explore the societal shift towards a dopamine-dominated existence—where instant gratification from success, social media, and other pleasures reigns supreme—at the expense of oxytocin, which fosters connection and intimacy. T.J. highlights how the decline of oxytocin levels correlates with increased feelings of loneliness and anxiety in our increasingly digitally-driven lives. We discuss research illustrating the critical role that physical touch and close-knit relationships play in promoting oxytocin release, stressing how these biological imperatives are becoming neglected in our fast-paced world.
