A conversation with Loretta Breuning on Creating Habits for a Happy Brain

Have you ever binge watched Netflix? Or ate more chocolate than you should in the hopes it would make you feel better? We have too. In fact, we all have used self-soothing tools. Did you know that we release cortisol when we feel threatened or stressed? We do it and so do mammals. Doctor Loretta Breuning built a career on her study of mammals and how animalistic behavior can translate to us, humans.  We had an incredibly insightful conversation with Loretta. We spoke about brain chemicals, how to nurture a healthy brain and how nature holds the answer to a lot of our blockers. Bio Loretta G. Breuning, PhD, is the Founder of the Inner Mammal Institute and Professor Emerita of Management at California State University. She is the author of many personal development books, including Habits of a Happy Brain, with the subtitle: Retrain Your Brain to Boost Your Serotonin, Dopamine, Oxytocin and Endorphin Levels. As a teacher and a parent, she was not convinced by prevailing theories of human motivation. Then she learned about the brain chemistry we share with earlier mammals and everything made sense. She began creating resources that have helped thousands of people make peace with their inner mammal.   Dr. Breuning's work has been translated into eight languages and is cited in major media. Before teaching, she worked for the United Nations in Africa. Loretta gives zoo tours on animal behaviour, after serving as a Docent at the Oakland Zoo.  She is a graduate of Cornell University and Tufts. The Inner Mammal Institute offers videos, podcasts, books, blogs, multimedia, a training program, and a free five-day happy-chemical jumpstart.
