GLP-1s, Anhedonia, and the Dopamine Trade-Off with Dr. Robin Berzin​
Jim,

I went on a low dose of tirzepatide to move a couple of stubborn cholesterol markers ... and it moved a lot more than that.

Two sips into my espresso and my body said no thanks. The same thing happened with the drink I was looking forward to at a friend's dinner party, and in the bedroom, too.

I sat down with Dr. Robin Berzin to figure out what was happening. Her read is that GLP-1s work on the same reward circuitry as coffee, alcohol and social media: the nucleus accumbens and the VTA, the parts of the brain that hand out our motivation and our cravings.

I have spent years meditating to loosen my grip on craving, and here a drug did it for me in a matter of weeks. But what I got instead felt like the volume turned down across the board, good stuff included.

Here's some of what we got into:
  • Why losing your appetite for food can also mean losing it for coffee, alcohol and sex
  • What the dopamine and serotonin circuitry do when you're on a GLP-1
  • Why some people feel liberated when food noise disappears, and others feel flattened
  • The line between healthy desire and maladaptive craving

I came away from this conversation less interested in whether the drug works and more interested in what it costs.

I hope you'll listen in,
Jeff​

NEW VIDEO!​
Sometimes the plants everyone wants gone are worth a closer look.​
Hey folks,
You’ve probably seen this plant before.
It grows along roadsides, riverbanks, fields, and plenty of other places people don’t particularly want it.
In fact, it’s considered one of the more invasive plants in North America.
But there’s another side to this plant that most people never hear about.
I had my own unexpected introduction to it years ago, and it completely changed the way I looked at it.
In this new video, I’ll show you the plant, tell you what happened, and explain why I think it deserves a second look.

Dear Jimi,

When creating Zonia, I wanted to build something more than a streaming platform for health, wellness & natural medicine.

I also wanted to create a hub where not only do you get access to all the amazing health and wellness content…

Yet you also can watch some of the most inspirational, empowering, and mission-driven live-action, documentary, and animation short films ever made in the world.

So whenever you feel like you need inspiration in your life, something to lift your spirit and make you smile, you can come to Zonia and watch one of our films.

So you can instantly lift up your spirits and mood.

Because, remember, our thoughts can become our reality.

That’s why being in an elevated good mood is great for your health and your soul.

And we know you’re a busy person.

That's why these short films are no longer than 20 min in length…

Yet will keep you feeling empowered for the rest of your week.

What’s more… We’re constantly adding new live-action, documentary, and animation short films on Zonia.

Some of those are Oscar Winners or Nominees.

In fact, we just added the Oscar-winning short film, “Toyland.”

“Toyland” tells a story about WWII through the eyes of a child.​

Then there is another short film that qualified for the Oscars - “Life in Four Seasons.”

This is one of the short films that I produced and directed.

This short film is about a little boy who, guided by the spirit of his beloved grandfather, embarks on an epic dreamlike adventure through the past and present, encountering heroes of all kinds, before facing his own fears and finding the hero within.​

For all who use an electric toothbrush
Please Quit usin it
New studies shoe that:

"You put your phone on airplane mode at night. You skipped the smart watch. Then you press a high-EMF motor against your skull twice a day and hold it there.
A University of Texas study measured electric toothbrushes at 370 milligauss of magnetic field exposure. That is stronger than a microwave measured from two inches away. Except nobody holds a microwave against their face.
Here's the mechanism: the motor sits inches from your brain, pulsing electromagnetic fields through your jaw for 2 full minutes, morning and night, every single day. And while it vibrates at 30,000+ strokes per minute, its nylon bristles shed microplastics onto gums that absorb 10x faster than skin. Two exposures. One device.
Long-term EMF exposure is linked to poor sleep, reduced focus, and neurological stress. The 3am wakeups. The brain fog no supplement fixes. The afternoon crashes blamed on everything except the device touching your head twice a day. EMF stickers didn't solve it. Switching back to a manual brush meant giving up the deep clean. The problem was never addressed at the source."

BREAKING: Vaccinated People Spread Measles. The CDC, the WHO, and Johns Hopkins Just Said So on the Record.​

​
A new peer-reviewed study by CDC, WHO, and Johns Hopkins leadership found that nearly 8 out of every 100 vaccinated people who catch measles pass it to someone else. Almost a third of them had received two doses. And the world has exactly one study, of 137 people, trying to measure how much the vaccine actually reduces onward spread.

Hi Jimi,

Episode 4 just went live!

This next episode is vital to every single one of us. We will be going into powerful medicinal foods and herbs for… YOUR BRAIN!

You can use either of the two links below to watch it now for free. We are expecting a lot of viewers again tonight, so we’re making Episode 4 available on two different webpages. (If one takes a little while to load, just try the other one!)

You’re going to learn about healing dishes and culinary remedies for a whole spectrum of brainy issues.

We’ll explore nutrient-dense superfoods for the cognitive challenges that many of us struggle with - like brain fog, poor memory, lack of clarity and focus, ADHD, depression, and feelings of being scattered.

You'll also witness some "wonder-herbs" and mushrooms that can repair more serious neurological challenges and regenerate new brain tissue.

PLUS, you will hear amazing healing stories from real people who overcame all odds and reversed severe conditions using foods and other natural medicines. Very powerful stuff.

Western medicine offers precious little help for neurodegenerative conditions. In that paradigm, a diagnosis is often a life sentence. They say there is “no cure” for certain brain conditions... Well, this episode might just change their minds.
