Sometimes you can see excessive dopamine, depending on, again, whether the receptors that are wonky are the ones that are antagonistic or agonistic. Norepinephrine is yet another neurotransmitter involved in psychiatric issues.
Ever wondered how your body's internal systems impact your mental health? Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes sheds light on the endocannabinoid system in this episode of the 'Counselor Toolbox Podcast'. This system, often overlooked, plays a crucial role in regulating mood, cognition, inflammation, and stress. Dr. Snipes explains how imbalances in this system can lead to various mental and physical health issues.
She dives into practical strategies like stress management, cognitive behavioral therapy, and even the use of terpenes from essential oils to help restore balance. One intriguing aspect is how stress activates the endocannabinoid system, which then works to clear harmful free radicals from your body. Dr. Snipes also breaks down the roles of cannabinoid receptors Cb1 and Cb2, highlighting their importance in both the nervous and immune systems.
The episode doesn't stop there; it also explores how activities like meditation and sex can naturally boost your endocannabinoids, offering a holistic approach to improving overall wellness. This episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice for anyone looking to understand the connection between their body's internal systems and mental health.
