TJ Power

Welcome to Proper Mental episode 101 with TJ Power, a neuroscientist, international speaker and educator.

TJ has spent many years deeply researching mental health, lecturing in psychology and speaking all over the world about the human brain.

In this episode TJ and I chat about the four key chemicals required to maintain biological harmony.

We chat about why we need these chemicals and how they help us and also how they are affected by things like social media, alcohol and junk food.

TJ also offers some solutions and ideas about simple ways that we can produce these chemical when we need them which really contribute towards improved mental health.

We chat about dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin and endorphins and we chat exercise, nature, connection and diet.

These chemicals are the foundations of physical and mental wellbeing, and it is so important to have the basics in place when it comes to health.

I’ve personally taken a huge amount from this episode and TJ’s social media channels and actively use several of his methods daily and they have made a huge difference to my mental state in recent months.
