    Aug 1 2024

    What does your rotten health attitude struggle with most?

    2 Week Trial on the app Ben keeps banging on about

    This podcast is a proud member of the PodPack Collective, an indie podcasting group dedicated to spreading positivity (yes, I am) within the podcast community.

    Ever wondered why stress makes you feel a certain way or why some emotions dominate your daily grind?

    Join us on the Push Pull Health podcast as we dive into the fascinating relationship between the brain and your emotions!

    We'll explore how your brain works and how well it was depicted in our half-baked review of Inside Out, covering the stresses of life like money, food, and more.

    Expect to be entertained with fun brain facts, including the incredible speed of neurotransmitters & how the central nervous system plays a crucial role in our mental and emotional health.

    Curious about what keeps you motivated?

    We unpack dopamine and its essential role in goal-oriented behaviour. By breaking down complex brain mechanisms into engaging, accessible conversations, we reveal how dopamine drives motivation and its connection to conditions like Parkinson's and ADHD. The hypothalamus makes a special appearance, influencing hormone regulation while we keep things clear and concise.

    Ready to rethink dopamine?

    We dispel common myths and clarify the distinction between serotonin and oxytocin. Plus, we introduce the intriguing concept of the Chimp Paradox, helping you manage emotions by distinguishing between rational and emotional responses. Explore the evolutionary mismatch affecting our health today, the modern inconveniences contributing to an obesogenic environment, and the challenges of social media and vape pens.

    Parenting in the Modern Era:

    We reflect on parenting and the balancing act of exposing children to life's realities. Get ready for an episode that blends science, humour, and practical insights to help you understand your brain better.
