The Chemistry of Emotions (Neurotransmitters & Hormones)

Emotions aren’t just “in your head”—they’re deeply rooted in your body’s biochemistry. In this episode, we explore the fascinating interplay between neurotransmitters and hormones, revealing how chemical messengers like serotonin, dopamine, cortisol, and oxytocin shape our moods, behaviors, and even decision-making. From the rush of falling in love to the stress of a looming deadline, we break down the science of feelings in a way that’s both accessible and eye-opening. Whether you’re curious about mental health, human connection, or brain chemistry, this journey into the molecular world of emotions will change the way you think about what you feel.
