Loretta is an author, podcaster and professor who helps people understand their inner mammal brains with Inner Mammal Method.  From the website www.innermammalinstitute.org :\n\"The chemicals that make us feel good are inherited from earlier mammals (dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphin). We control them with brain structures we’ve inherited from animals. This limbic system (the amygdala, hippocampus, pituitary, etc.) cannot process language, so it cannot tell you in words why it’s releasing a chemical. You can find you power over your happy chemicals when you understand the job they do in animals.\nIt’s hard because our brain is wired by early experience. We rely on old wiring because it’s so efficient. You can build new neural pathways to turn on your happy chemicals in new ways, and relieve your threat chemicals. It’s takes some effort, but anyone can do it with this step-by-step method.\"\nCheck out the Inner Mammal Institute YouTube channel\nBuy  \"Habits of a Happy Brain\" here .\nThis week I'm launching Step One\nCheck it out for an early offer that expires August 14th! \nBuy Breaking the Bottle Legacy: How to Change Your Drinking Habits and Create A Peaceful Relationship with Alcohol on Amazon or most online retailers. \nUS Kindle\nUS Paperback\nUK Kindle\nUK Paperback\nApple Books\nBarnes & Noble\nKobo\nJoin my private FB group Alcohol Minimalists here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/changeyouralcoholhabit\nHas this podcast helped you?
