Nutrition Nugget! Bite-size, bonus episodes offering tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn's talking about NSDR for Motivation. One of the best ways to increase motivation is to increase dopamine. How do we increase dopamine? Sleep! However most of us don’t get a chance to take a nap during the day when we could use the boost to our motivation. NSDR (Non Sleep Deep Rest) is a quick 10 minute exercise using breathing and visualization that helps increase dopamine, reduce fatigue, improve your mood, and support neuroplasticity while slowing down the heart rate and focusing the mind. Tune in while Jenn walks you through a quick NSDR practice. Like what you're hearing? Be sure to check out the full length episodes; new releases every Wednesday. Have an idea for a nutrition nugget?
