FIR Episode 60: Serotonin, Dopamine and Norepinephrine

March 18, 2023 by Philip Watkins

Serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine are keys to your emotions, thoughts, memory and learning.

The chemicals in our brains are the messengers that influence our minds and body.

Various illnesses see unbalanced neurotransmitter levels, such as Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, Huntington’s disease and depression.

But what do frogs have to do with their discovery?

Learn about how a Nobel prize winner’s dream and two frogs brought about the discovery of neurotransmitters in 1921.

Learn about neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine and how they work.

For example, neurotransmitters help the brain influence and control the body.

For example, did you know neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine can communicate with the digestive, respiratory and cardiovascular systems?

Did you know that ninety-five per cent of serotonin originates in the gut?

Learn more about how serotonin influences our mood, social interactions and even our bowel patterns!

If serotonin rules the body, then it might be fair to say that dopamine governs the central nervous system.

For example, discover how dopamine influences the quality of our day. From decision-making, motivation and impulse control, you’ll be surprised how much dopamine does!

Learn how a Stamford University marshmallow experiment helped shape our understanding of how dopamine affects our behaviour.

Find out more about how dopamine affects how well we can delay gratification or rewards and how this later leads to sustaining our motivation during the day.

Norepinephrine helps activate our stress response so we can act on our motivations.

Learn more about this vital neurotransmitter and a whole lot more in this Free and Inspired Radio episode!

Testimonials

  • "I now manage to fall asleep after waking and generally get at least 6 hours sleep a night. The treatment avoided addictive medicine and was without daytime grogginess. Early morning waking is not a concern."

  • "I finally had a diagnostic to work with. I was so happy with the lack of pain and getting sleep at night that I embarked on a 6 month protocol. It was the first time in years that I saw any relief and progress."

  • "Philip took his time to explain what was possibly going on. Philip also took the time to digest the results of a recent annual medical, a recent allergy test and a genetic test. This level of care and attention was highly appreciated."

  • "He does not silo the physical from the mental and approaches things in a very holistic manner. I really found this invaluable as I feel a number of my complaints were not only driven by physical triggers but also emotional/mental triggers."
