Had to click on this as soon as I got the notification - for that dopamine hit
Can't wait to scroll through insta and snack oreo's after the video!!!
If you are a true Huberman enthusiast you would know “dopamine hits” aren’t real.
@@jamesdaniels7533 I’m not. The video was in my recommended. I was merely trying to make a joke. Sorry if I offended you with my ignorance, gatekeeper.
Now your getting likes🎉
Nothing is more meta than having a dopamine system that makes you crave learning about the dopamine system.
you have to insert some activity in a loop, otherwise you will burst lol.
It’s so weird watching these videos and then looking at my behavior in the past and seeing that he described it perfectly. Or comparing abstract ideas without trying like when he said that dropping below baseline is what creates the drive to go out and get the thing you desired. It made me think about Kurt Cobain making music and that girl I’ve been chasing and that this chemical process has been with us since the dawn of time and is responsible for everything we’ve created. The rise and fall of civilizations. Godspeed.
Whenever I feel stressed, I eat junk food and couples of minutes later, I feel very bad and guilty about it and the vicious cycles continued. Now I am understanding the problem of my eating disorder to solve the problem.
Keep it up mate, reading about it, this way, is inspiring. You can do it
Thankk youu❤❤
Awesome 😎
Thank you so much for these! I had neuro Lyme disease for years, couldn’t walk after being an elite athlete - springboard diver, teammates went to the Olympics - and I didn’t feel like my dopamine was normal afterward, and I found research that it can be depleted wouldn’t be the right word, but the system can be off after Lyme disease, forget if reuptake or sending out - had ADHD to begin with - psychosis in my family & too with muscles and fibromyalgia. We are learning more! I wonder with long COVID, any major illness, like euthyroid sick syndrome believe the term for thyroid and chronic illness - if your body lowers to rest?
Curious too, as with hunger, hormones player role also interesting in wheat with Lapin. I think leptin right with women and hormones and dopamine. I’d be really curious if you did a video on that, if you don’t have one. Also, head trauma & dopamine and And ACTH/ norenephrine and dopamine.
^ norenephrine, acetylcholine and dopamine
It turns out that in the case of a negative experience, when the subsequent peak of dopamine is lower than the previous one, you need to stop in your desires, give time for the neural connections to be rebuilt and the negative experience to be forgotten, and then, after a time break, try to crave and pursuit it again.
So is it a dopamine spike or a dopamine trough that motivates you to pursue something?
Hello Sir .The drop of dopamine below the baseline after we desire for something and before we get reward is caused due to what?Thank u
Everyday I crave to browse social media and yotube. Does that mean my dopamine level was below baseline and when I browse i get the dopamine hit ? How to change this behavior and do something useful like exercise or clean house or read something useful ?
My mood picks right up when I know chocolate is coming. I get giddy.
Andy Frisella was just asking about why his mood changes so drastically. I think this is exactly what it is.
I’ve just put a pizza in the oven and I have a full tub of ice cream in the freezer. Time to sit back, relax and watch a vid.
What if dopamine levels never significantly increase and stay relatively flat?
Flegma
So what happens when you get a high peak, will it go back to baseline, below or above?
He stated that a high peak will result in a dive below baseline, how deep that dive is depends on how high the peak was.
Corresponding to the craving there will be a sensation in the body Actually sensation arising from the unconscious is causing the craving If u can watch the sensation with awareness that is impermanent craving will subside
That's pretty much what Vipassana meditation is about
This shit is dope.
I mean...
How to make use of this?
Don't watch it and spend those seven minutes you save eating a sandwich.
Hey,genius I am student tell me how to focus and learn fast?
First humble yourself king .
I dont get it, hes covered this several times, a lot. And ppl still "oh ty so much for this, never knew it before".
People discover, find and watch videos at different times. What's your point?
Reiterations in just 6min, because of that I newly realized that part about anticipation.
Someone get this man a sandwich.
