Show Notes
Do you ever find yourself falling into a slump of being inactive, eating unhealthy, feeling unmotivated, and temporarily have feelings of depression? Well the root of all of this is the dopamine brain reward pathway. This pathway is activated by physical activity and regulates our feelings of motivation and ability to pursue our goals. Physical inactivity, unhealthy eating, weight gain, obesity, and addictive drugs can reduce the activity of this brain reward pathway and lead to feeling a lack of motivation and lack of an ability to pursue our goals. In this episode, I talk about how we can gain control of our brain reward pathway to keep us feeling motivated and reaching our goals.
