Dopamine receptor D2

which is all about neuroplasticity, learning and your circadian rhythms and how well you do in recovery if you get a brain injury.

Then there's DRD2 and the ANKK1, dopamine receptor density.

I don't have a lot of those.

That's one of the things that makes me such an addictive personality and a workaholic and a runaholic and all the other things.

never enough always trying to do more okay so knowing that i can take supplements i can take different foods and things and i can do more breath work and i can do meditation and i can do things to try to counteract uh that gene and i can also accept that uh i'm gonna be more driven and hopefully that means i'll achieve more right so there are pluses and minuses to some of these Then there's a couple of other genes, 5-HT2A, GAD1, and SLC17A7.

And these are all for serotonin and glutamate signaling.

So telling you again, my DRD2 means poor dopamine receptor expression.

My ADRA2B means plenty of adrenaline.

And that was the opening of this door of, oh my God, there's genetics to what I am.

Um, and that was the DRD2, the dopamine receptor number two dash A1 allele gene.

And it was this.

constellation of genetics it's actually a bunch of different things coming together but it makes people feel intolerant to boredom

Either one works and your brain gets that hit and you're satisfied.

The genetics of dopamine are the DRD2 gene determines the density of the dopamine receptors.

So when that moment happens, what intensity level did you feel it at? Because how much did you bind, right? The density of the receptor.

Then there's a gene called MAO that breaks the dopamine down, metabolizes, because eventually you need to come back to your normal baseline behavior.

Then there's comp, which you brought up earlier, that makes the comp protein to remove it, right? So How much did I feel? How long did I feel it for? And when was I ready for the next thing? So my genes look like I have the worst version of the DRD2 gene.

My receptors are minus 70%.

I have the fastest MAO breakdown and the fastest calm clearance.
