Episode 161: Neurotransmitters 101 Part 2: Excitatory Compounds

Did last week’s episode on neurotransmitters leave you wanting more? Want to know what impact dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine have on your mind and body? Curious how you can balance your brain chemicals? Tune in to learn what your excitatory neurotransmitters do and how you can use diet, lifestyle and supplemental support to find balance and mellow! 

 

In this episode, Ali and Becki go even deeper into the topic of neurotransmitters, hitting on the main excitatory brain chemicals of dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine. Learn about the impact of intermittent fasting on your neurotransmitters, how to recognize symptoms of deficiency and excess and why these brain chemicals might be imbalanced in the first place. Learn why l-theanine can work magic for balancing your brain and mood, how CBD can play a role and how adaptogens and nervines can be supportive of neurotransmitter expression.
