The Chicken or the Egg? - Dopamine and Human Performance 

We're rolling into a new week and that means....a brand-new episode!! This week Alyse and I are discussing one of my personal favorite neurotransmitters... DOPAMINE! We discuss our professional experiences within tactical and HPO settings with dopamine as a whole but also get into what happens when you are unable to maintain balance. This is a great informational epsiode covering:

  • What dopamine deficiency is and it's symtpoms. 
  • It's roll in someone being in "flow state".
  • Dopamine's role in performance.
  • What happens to dopamine when we have an MSK related injury?
  • ADHD?
  • Tips for balancing our natural dopamine including dopamine fasting. 

Come learn how to increase your happiness and get your nerd on with us!
