What is DOSE? The Four Key Chemicals

What is DOSE? The Four Key Chemicals

 

 

Did you know the DOSE in HigherDOSE represents the four happy chemicals - Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin and Endorphins - that you can achieve naturally? Whether using our products or taking our free hacks to heart, we're all about getting high naturally through our body's chemistry. 

1. Dopamine: The Reward Chemical

Dopamine is often referred to as the brain’s “reward” chemical. It’s responsible for that rush of satisfaction you get when you accomplish a goal or check something off your to-do list. Whether you’re achieving fitness milestones or making progress on a personal project, dopamine is what keeps you motivated and feeling good about your success.

How to Boost Dopamine Naturally:

  •  Set small, achievable goals to trigger a sense of accomplishment.
  •  Engage in regular physical exercise, which promotes dopamine release.
  •  Stimulate your mind by reading, learning new skills, or enjoying a challenging activity.
  •  Use HigherDOSE’s Infrared Sauna Blanket to naturally raise dopamine levels through relaxation and stress relief.

Avoid Excess Cheap Dopamine

  • Scrolling on social media
  • Impulse shopping
  • Smoking or Chewing nicotine 
  • Junk food and sugar

 

2. Oxytocin: The Love Hormone

Oxytocin is often called the “love hormone” because of its powerful role in creating social bonds and feelings of connection. Released through physical touch, social interactions, and bonding activities, oxytocin helps you feel close to others and fosters trust.

How to Boost Oxytocin Naturally:

  • Engage in physical touch, whether it’s hugging a loved one or cuddling with a pet.
  • Spend quality time with friends or family to strengthen social bonds.
  • Try self-massage or use HigherDOSE’s PEMF Mat to relax and enhance feelings of connection and well-being.

 

3. Serotonin: The Mood Stabilizer

Serotonin is your body’s natural mood stabilizer. It plays a vital role in regulating emotions, promoting feelings of happiness, and helping to manage anxiety and stress. In addition to mood, serotonin also influences sleep and appetite, keeping your body in balance throughout the day.

 

Natural Ways to Increase Serotonin:

  • Spend time in natural sunlight, which triggers serotonin production.
  • Practice mindfulness techniques, such as meditation or yoga, to calm your mind and elevate your mood.
  • Enjoy regular exercise, which is proven to enhance serotonin levels.
  • Incorporate Red Light Therapy from HigherDOSE products to enhance mood and skin health by stimulating serotonin production.

 

4. Endorphins: The Natural Pain Killer

Endorphins are your body’s natural pain relievers, released during physical exertion or stressful situations. Often associated with the “runner’s high,” endorphins help to alleviate pain, reduce stress, and provide a sense of euphoria after a workout or any activity that pushes your body physically.

How to Boost Endorphins Naturally:

  • Engage in endorphin-boosting activities like running, swimming, or cycling.
  • Laugh! Laughter has been shown to release endorphins and improve your mood.
  • Eat dark chocolate, which naturally stimulates endorphin production.
  • Sweat it out in the HigherDOSE Infrared Sauna Blanket for an endorphin-boosting experience that eases muscle tension and lifts your mood.
