   > people don't understand about dopamine as dopamine is created from the aromatic amino acid tyrosine and phenylalanine in humans and the reason why I use the word aromatic is not to confuse the audiences so the audience know the benzene ring is a photon trap and it turns out it's a photon trap for UV light because most people who come upon this information always think that melatonin is a

   Yes is the short answer, and that is why I took a jet plane plane up past the 63 parallel and climbed into a deep dark cold hole hole to see if I could overcome procrastination and increase my decision making acutely without using drugs like cycloset. Anyone who reads this blog knows that leptin sensitivity is directly tied to dopamine levels on a very basic level. ***If you are LR you, by definition, have an altered dopamine level in your brain, pure and simple. It also means at the core, your mitochondria just flat don’t work well when dopamine levels are poor.***

   So the real question becomes: what are the causes of low dopamine?” Is it bad food, bad ideas? In [Brain Gut 11](https://jackkruse.com/brain-gut-11-is-technology-your-achilles-heel/) we examined the cause of low dopamine levels and how they relate to low AM cortisol levels. Here we even talked about how to treat it with a drug like Cycloset. Is there any other way to raise our dopamine levels naturally to avoid procrastination?

   And this is why Adorno calls art a precarious happiness." I wonder whether you're here referring to what Adorno calls the shudder, whereby the eye is undermined or shaken, as he puts it in the aesthetic theory, and thrown into uncomfortable contact with its own limitedness and finitude. Does not Adorno want this productively uncomfortable and momentary destabilization of the knowing eye to take place at the level of thought itself? So just to wrap up. There's a moment in the culture industry essay where Adorno and Horkheimer admit something quite radical, it seems to me, which is that it's not…

   This causes a de-coherence in cells. This is how a physicist would explain it. A regular person would describe it as a shorting out of the system. A blown fuse, so to speak. It simulates what a “brown out” may look like in living thing. This is why people with Parkinson’s disease get an expressionless face, seem to lose their emotion, and why their muscle motions seem to slow down so much. Thinking is slowed and cognitive haze develops. These are the terms people use to describe a low dopamine state. Low dopamine states affect the global control of the organism and it also impairs the ability …

   The group all went out to share some ideas afterward. More importantly, we were raising each other’s dopamine levels by sitting around a table communicating our thoughts and experiences from which we could all learn some things. Jack has such a high level of understanding and an even greater charisma that naturally draws people. I think that when someone lives in such a high quantum-yield environment and constantly works to boost his dopamine level, it becomes very apparent to others that he is living on a “different level” in some way; that the regular troubles and trifles of life are seen fo…

   And the idea that there's two sides of that, and actually, this is a good idea to introduce this term of hormesis, which you and I were talking about offline, the idea that you have this addiction circuit where you get a reward, but then you drop to a baseline that's below the original baseline, and then it's a downward spiral, versus hormesis, which is more like exercise. Can you explain hormesis? - [Daniel] Yeah. And I just wanna say, because you have an educated audience, we're simplifying everything for model purpose and speed purpose. Obviously, it's not just dopamine, right? You can have…

    @Kaleein This is why I lean heavy on biochemistry. It may make your head hurt for many of my blogs but sooner or later you will see why I do it. It allows us to see clearly why an evolutionary approach is best for optimization. I will continue to integrate this info instead of trying to deconstruct theories and opinions. To me that is how we got in trouble in medicine. When someone argues with me now I just open a biochemistry book or an endocrine book and show them what it says. My patients really like the way I go about things because they know why they have the problem they do and I seek to…
