This episode of the Unshelling Medicine Podcast dives into the fascinating world of happy brain chemicals with Dr. Loretta Breuning. Together, we unpack how dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins shape our behaviors, habits, and even our conflicts. Loretta explains why these chemicals are not meant to flow nonstop, how social comparison has ancient roots in our monkey brains, and what it takes to replace negative thought loops with healthier habits.

The conversation also explores childhood wiring, accountability struggles, and the delicate dynamics of family relationships. From practical tools for rewiring the brain to cultural challenges around therapy and truth-telling, this episode is both eye-opening and deeply relatable. Tune in to learn how small, intentional habits can create healthier pathways and unlock your power over happiness.
