Only halfway through this episode and I can safely say that this is the best self-help podcast episode I've listened to! TJ is such a great explainer, the way he breaks down the science behind the chemicals and how they work is simply brilliant. The actionable tips he gave for each section is the cherry on top. Thank you for this episode!
I would recommend this video to EVERYONE! So many golden nuggets of wisdom can be obtained from this video! Literally LIFE-CHANGING! Love the ENTIRE episode!
this is such a great episode filled with tons of invaluable advice and guidance. despite the lack of stellar youtube performance, i hope you continue to invite guests like tj to deliver high quality knowledge all the best Ali!
Most of us who have been through the Performing Arts world, or are still there, access this part of our brain daily. Music, painting, sculpting , singing , acting, dance etc takes us fast into the Dopamine pathways. Orgasmic , check out the research globally.. It is a natural normal world to live in, only challenged when our careers finish. But at least we have access to streaming services for further immersion.
Unbelievable and life changing lessons in this podcast. I love the way the science of the chemicals is explained. I've shared this with multiple family members, colleagues, and patients (am a doctor). Many of those I've shared with are already onward-sharing because of how impactful this is. Have adopted a few of the strategies immediately- cold showers/cold immersion, intentional deep breaths... I've never left a comment before about ANYTHING on TH-cam, but this has been so good I had to say something - thankyou Ali, thankyou TJ.
It feels like they can read my mind because everything they said exactly what happened to me😄good insight to stop this bad habit of scrolling and more focus on life challenges🙏🏽thank you guys
20 minutes in and this is an absolutely brilliant episode. Thought I already knew everything about dopamine from andrew huberman but this is so informative and a super helpful additional perspective. Thank you for this episode!
So I've listened to this podcast episode twice a couple weeks ago and it's safe to say, that it really changed my day to day life as well as my mental well-being. I've taken notes during the entire conversation you two were having, paused several times to sort my thoughts and man... Loved everything I learned from it. Already pre-ordered TJ's book as well. 😅 Anyways I tried to make a list for myself to try and put into order when I could be doing which one of these actions points and I thought I'd just share it. I designed it a bit like a 30-day challenge for myself back then. Maybe someone will find it useful as well. Thank you two for this great episode! 30-day DOSE-Challenge Remember: It's okay not to do everything. It's about trying to find what works best for you. If you get weak, don't judge yourself, but appreciate how much you've done well! Generally - Take a cold shower for at least 30 seconds (dopamine) - Sing loudly. (endorphin) - Eat natural foods. (serotonin) - Avoid addictive substances. (dopamine) - Be in contact with people and situations that make us laugh. (Endorphin) - Do something good for others every day (Oxytocin) - Only use your smartphone for smart use and for relationships (Dopamine) - Reach flow state once a day (Dopamine) - (If appropriate) physical greeting (Oxytocin) - When meeting: eye contact and active listening (Oxytocin) - Discipline in your own home (Dopamine) Morning - Sit in the sun for 5 minutes in the morning (15 minutes if it's cloudy). (Serotonin) - Yoga or stretching in the morning and evening. (Endorphin) - Meditate or do breathing exercises. (Serotonin) Afternoon - Spend time in nature using all your senses. (Serotonin) - One hour of exercise or a walk with 3 sprints every day. (Endorphin) Evening - Yoga or stretching in the morning and evening. (Endorphin) - No fast digital media 1 hour before going to sleep. (Serotonin) - Appreciate a daily success before going to sleep (Oxytocin) Weekly - At least 15 minutes in the sauna or hot bath. (Endorphin)
I watched it without blinking as it was compelling, indeed and subscribed to the channel. If we implement everything what your guest says, we may definitely raise the quality of life.
Start reading books. I suggest Unveiling Your Hidden Potential by Bruce Thornwood. I read it like two months ago and it has already completely changed my life. I mean, I still play video games but I started my own business in the mean time, and other people notice the change in my behaviour. Especially women, and I was able to go dates with different girls.
Great podcast! Thank you! "Visit the website for the transcript and highlights from the conversation" - I could find no transcript or highlights on the website
Really interesting! But can I just add on the cold water emersion point and any form of increasing dopamine isn’t good for everyone. Many people with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia are on dopamine inhibitors because too much dopamine can induce mania. The trend towards ice baths assumes having loads more dopamine is a good thing.
Hi Ali, I loved this episode, veeeeery interesting and helpful, your questions were on point 🎯but I almost not click on it, thinking that it was going to be something else because of the title and thumbnail.
With the cold water immersion, doesn’t that affect women differently to men? I’ve read a few things about that, and that it can actually increase cortisol for women.
Curious how eye contact and touch impact folks with sensory differences or who are neurodivergent where those things can be uncomfortable, distracting, or painful.
If you don't like lifting weights, why not do something more natural? He mentioned climbing trees. I like wall climbing, which definitely counts as weight lifting, especially for the upper body. It also takes care of some of the stretching/flexibility.
Whereas I like Ali and the Content (Not so much lately), as a parent I keep thinking that most of these topics become irrelevant and kind of silly when you have Kids. Pursuit in life? Work as your main Identity factor? 3-Hour Gaming Sessions? Finding reasons to work other than Money? Luxury Problems…
Hey Deep , very good video ! I was wondering if I can help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and make Highly Engaging Thumbnails which will help your videos to get more views and engagement . Please let me know what do you think ?

Jesus Ali if you're hungover don't do podcasts. We can hear your loud breathing as you barely survive listening and being focused :D Episode on Dopamine, Ali deprived himself of any xD
hi. thank you Tj and Ali for today's episode, i'm still taking notes as i type this. when you say phone fast do you mean the entire device or dopamine depleting activities on the phone? thank you. i happen to work out following a youtuber (body for days by Jerrika, she's amazing) as soon as i wake up and say a short prayer, does this affect my dopamine?
@@tjandgeorgia I guess I could still brush my teeth and lay my bed before starting the workout, thank you and have an amazing day ps. it's my birthday today, if you could, it'd make me really happy to receive a wish from you but if you can't it's no problem at all ❤️❤️
Er should there be a health warning for videos mentioning cold water immersion cry and any issues with cardiac blood flow yes people in your aimed ay demographics could have risk factors! Hopefully people do have common sense but it's not common fir people yk have common sense.
not accurate depiction of dopamine, i would have expected Ali to call out some of the fibs. seems more like story telling than factual. overall result seems near sensationalism
however, i do realise that some of it is due to a lack of language for describing the different features of the dopamine graph and its life cycle and effects
As muslim in Malaysia, we must get up from sleep to pray fajr prayer. Its nice to hear about this in science perspective

What an amazing guest. Extremely helpful information being communicated extremely well. He makes it interesting and easy to understand!
Great Guest. So enjoyable because he isnt trying to sell anything, not talking about his millions and making money. Sooo refreshing🎉🎉❤
This is the best self help podcast ever so simple and clear
this is such a great episode filled with tons of invaluable advice and guidance.

This was my fave deep dive of all. He’s so clear and explains concepts so well. Super relatable too.

Only 30 mins but already saving this one for a future rewatch
This is incredible! So many actionable tools & protocols for living a better, more integrated, happy life. I'll be sending this one around!
This is my favorite Deep Dive yet!
this episode is gold

The optimism that's being emitted by both dudes is really appreciable....

This was a great podcast, one I will keep coming back to. TJ is indeed great at what he does and it radiates throughout the episode

I cannot recall ever felling satisfied completing a task, project, or goal unless I felt joy during the process.
You've never felt happy just because you're done with a task?
Interesting. I do think some people feel satisfaction from putting something bad or difficult behind them
The Opposite is True for me. Just because I am satisfied with the outcome doesn’t mean I had fun doing it…
1:17:48 thats whats up, I started carnivore diet and this is the best thing happened to me in the last months
"You want as much one ingredient items as possible". Never thought about it from this perspective. Thats good
This episode was amazing
This is an incredible and underrated episode!!
Loved this episode with James Maddison!
Love this episode thank you 🙏
Awesome conversation 👏🏾
Such an all-rounder episode! Love it
"rotting" - sounds like an acute version of what was emerging in the 1980s - M.E. or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
Thank you! I will watch it second time and write down some notes 🫶
best video I've watched in a long while

So many likes and no comments?
I was checking reddit. It’s basically a marketing thing for the book to post comments
Scam. I've been seeing this post everywhere
Its a bot
The knowledge is very interesting and wonderful.
How do we engender a sense of community without the sexism or tribalism in modern society.
Great podcast! Thank you! "Visit the website for the transcript and highlights from the conversation" - I could find no transcript or highlights on the website
What kind of microphones are being used here? They look really cool and the sound quality is great!
Wow I’m new here and I can relate so much to what was said. Will definitely be actioning the advice mentioned in this pod!!

So relatable

Should I download this?? Seems like ali has uploaded this by mistake and would restrict it only to paid members soon.This is so valuable!!!

Did he just say "silver spoon up their behind"?😂 12:35

Jesus Ali if you're hungover don't do podcasts. We can hear your loud breathing as you barely survive listening and being focused :D
Episode on Dopamine, Ali deprived himself of any xD
Hello there!
I am unable to access this podcast on Spotify.
hi. thank you Tj and Ali for today's episode, i'm still taking notes as i type this. when you say phone fast do you mean the entire device or dopamine depleting activities on the phone? thank you. i happen to work out following a youtuber (body for days by Jerrika, she's amazing) as soon as i wake up and say a short prayer, does this affect my dopamine?
Ideally a full detox from the device for a period of time. But definitely from dopamine depletion.
@@tjandgeorgia I guess I could still brush my teeth and lay my bed before starting the workout, thank you and have an amazing day
ps. it's my birthday today, if you could, it'd make me really happy to receive a wish from you but if you can't it's no problem at all ❤️❤️
@@allofomaamazing! Happy birthday ❤️
@@tjandgeorgia thank you! it means a lot
Great stuff! Also learn about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
am I the only one who is feeling like the audio is too sharp ..
Nice
Er should there be a health warning for videos mentioning cold water immersion cry and any issues with cardiac blood flow yes people in your aimed ay demographics could have risk factors! Hopefully people do have common sense but it's not common fir people yk have common sense.
this video’s take really clicks with some of the things I've been reading in unveiling your hidden potential by bruce thornwood
Isnt that adam grant
Is this the same for women?
Guest was great, Ali didn’t add anything to the podcast and sounded like he just wanted to rush through all the points
First!
Thank God, i my brain doesnt react to notifications .
❤
Cool :)

Is it just me or Ali seems bored and possibly stoned?
Yes, I agree!
Seemed stoned
He’s talking too fast 😭
not accurate depiction of dopamine, i would have expected Ali to call out some of the fibs. seems more like story telling than factual. overall result seems near sensationalism
however, i do realise that some of it is due to a lack of language for describing the different features of the dopamine graph and its life cycle and effects
eg dopamine does not predict the future, it predicts future routine behaviours, creativity is very satisfactory and yet not predictable
