Love the stuff on the dopamine adrenaline connection. And I'm wondering if people who do well living with what is considered high stress (a minority of Type A people) somehow have a protective chemical connection somewhere in there.

Very thoughtful piece. It makes me want to learn more about pregnenolone, the balance of dopamine vs. serotonin, gut health and dopamine, and SIBO and SIFO, the list goes on and on! Not enough hours in the day. *edit* Also the copper-iron metabolism.

Gary, this is something i think about too; as well as how to connect the dots for people about trauma, brain damage (neuro-degeneration) and the biochemistry of self-regulation. Thank you for tackling bigger conversations!

I love it, thank you, Gary. There is a fascinating connection between the brain and body’s master regulatory signaling system for homeostasis, the endocannabinoid system (ECS), and Dopamine. ECS deficiency and Dopamine replenishment would therefore certainly seem to have an important relationship.

Gary, you and Lilian are doing some great work in this area, making important connections.

Since everything begins in the mental field, it is imperative for anyone suffering to first listen to their thoughts, then do their psycho-spiritual work so they can create more health-affirming thoughts which lead to better actions and better results. But I'm preaching to the choir here, haha.🤗
