Bonjour BEANS!
On this ep, I start of by delving deep into FENTANYL (Bit of a pharmacology sesh) - what is it? what is its mechanism of action on the brain, what are the dangers and negative impacts vs how it is used in a medical setting, and then I speak about how to actually REVERSE a fentanyl overdose.
Then I answer one listener question which I think is a universal experience on how to not have decision regret, and how to chose SOMETHING instead of sitting home taking the safe but very undesirable option.
Let's get amongst it!
Danke!

This episode is an encore of one of my favourite episodes of all time, where I dive deep into the minutiae of memory, how false memories are formed, how we can implant memories and how memories can be manipulated, and how you can improve your own memory.
In this episode I’ll discuss how memories form, how consolidation happens, the difference between short term and long term memory, what happens to your memory when you get lesions or accidents or certain brain conditions like strokes or brain damage.
At the end I'll touch on ways that you can actually improve your memory and I think it's important because memory is one of the major causes of stress and depression. So pay attention!

BEANS I’m currently on vacation in Europe, so we're diving into the back catalogue to revisit one of my favourite episodes all about self-confidence and self-assurance.
It's a topic that I get asked a lot about a lot, and I think it's important to touch on this topic. And I think that self-assurance is something that needs to be worked on all the time just like a muscle, just like your health. So, what is self-assurance and where does it come from? A lot of us struggle to assert ourselves in certain situations, especially when we feel pressure from ourselves, society, our parents, our friends.
If you’re always trying to please others at the expense of yourself then this episode is for you! I've got 7 points for you to follow for what to do to increase your self assurance. Let's do it!

BRAIN FACT:
Central Sensitization and chronic pain: the phenomena when there is an enhancement in the function of the neurons and the circuits that are involved in nociceptive pathways causing an echo or remembered pain. It happens because of an increase in membrane excitability and synaptic efficacy. It’s a great example for how neuroplasticity works in a negative way and has been linked to chronic pain.

Let’s get into HEAD NOISE where I answer your questions about life, love, friendship, and all the fun messy things that make being alive so lit.
1) My partner and I are great, and then every now and then they snap when talking about or learning about my past dating history. My dating history isn’t anything wild, and I can’t control that I’ve been with other people, so how do I deal with their reaction to the fact that they’re not my first and only love?
2) My partner has genital herpes, and has been upfront with me about this. We communicated about expectations in our physical relationship, and how I could most be comfortable and feel protected at the same time. We are now a little further into our relationship and he has started saying things like if I want this relationship to continue I need to stop making him feel so bad about having herpes, that I make him feel dirty and ruin his self confidence because of the precautions I’ve put in place during sex to keep myself at less risk of contracting HSV.
3) My therapist says I am anxiously attached from a past trauma. I was wondering if you could talk me through limerence vs love, because my anxiety around dating

There’s a lot of talk about the monoamine hypothesis of Depression, which is the theory that a reduced level of serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine in the central nervous system is what causes symptoms of depression, but is it the cause?
In this episode we’ll find out what the evidence is, and what treatments work based on that hypothesis, and how they relate to the drugs that are currently on the market to treat symptoms of Depression. In the next episode we'll go into more detail about the glutamatergic system and how these drugs interact with the brain, and potentially new treatments that could potentially reverse the negative side effects of some of the existing treatments.

Revie is legend of a woman, mum, founder of activewear label Alitah State, partner and content creator.

Episode 6 of Being Better and I'm digging into heartbreak. I'm taking on some meaty questions like "What do you do when you mutually break up with someone and they instantly date their ex?", "How do you know when you should break up with someone" and "Should there be chemistry by the third date? I'm seeing someone who's a total catch on paper but there's zero flutter."
Breakups SUCK but hopefully these tips take the sting out a little bit. Happy listening!
