Ever feel like your brain is running on empty? 🧠 Let’s talk about hacking your brain chemistry—completely naturally.

While there’s absolutely a time and place for clinical interventions, our daily habits have a massive impact on how we feel, focus, and show up every day. You actually have a lot of power over your own neurotransmitters!

Slide through the carousel to see how you can give your brain a natural boost:

✨ Dopamine (Motivation): Celebrate the micro-wins and add some tyrosine-rich foods like avocados or almonds to your plate.

✨ Serotonin (Mood): Get outside for 15 minutes of morning sunlight and get your heart pumping with some quick movement.

✨ Acetylcholine (Focus): Fuel your memory by grabbing choline-rich foods like eggs or broccoli.
Your brain chemistry is dynamic, not fixed. Small, simple changes can completely shift your energy and mood.

📌 Save this post so you can look back at it whenever you need a quick mental reset, and tag a friend who needs a little brain boost today!

" Insuficiencia renal tras uso de repelente de insectos - Dra. Mandy Hector
30 de septiembre de 2026

Un paciente de 55 años acude a un hospital local con náusea y dolor abdominal. No tiene antecedentes de enfermedades renales ni de otras afecciones crónicas, no padece alergias ni toma fármacos.

Según sus propias declaraciones, había pasado la noche en casa de unos familiares. En la habitación, de unos 10 m², se habían acumulado algunos mosquitos debido a una ventana abierta, los cuales fueron eliminados a última hora de la tarde con un repelente de insectos que contenía piretroides.

Después de rociar el producto la habitación permaneció cerrada y sin ventilación. Tras la cena el hombre se dirigió a la habitación y durmió allí cinco noches. Durante ese tiempo notó que la cama desprendía fuerte olor a insecticida..."

Un caso clínico demuestra de manera contundente que los insecticidas utilizados masivamente en todo el mundo, como los piretroides, pueden tener graves consecuencias nefrotóxicas. Lea aquí el caso clínico completo.

" El apego evitativo es un patrón de vinculación emocional que se forma, generalmente, en los primeros años de vida. Se desarrolla cuando un niño o niña experimenta que sus necesidades afectivas no son respondidas de manera consistente por sus cuidadores, ya sea por rechazo, frialdad o distancia emocional. Frente a esta falta de disponibilidad afectiva, el/la niño/a aprende a inhibir la expresión de sus emociones y a volverse autosuficiente, como una forma de protegerse del dolor que implica sentirse rechazado/a o ignorado/a."

La académica del Departamento de Psicología de la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales de la Universidad de Chile explica en qué consiste este patrón de vinculación emocional q

" People with an infection might have Shigella on their skin in the a**l and ge***al areas, including the thighs and buttocks. You cannot tell if someone has germs in these areas just by looking at the skin. Shigella that's on someone's skin, including on and around an infected person's a**s, p***s, va**na, butt, or thighs, can spread to people who touch the skin.

Practice safer s*x
If you or your partner has bloody or prolonged diarrhea (diarrhea lasting more than 3 days), avoid having s*x. To reduce the chance of Shigella spreading, wait at least 2 weeks after diarrhea ends to have s*x.."

" Las personas infectadas pueden tener *Shigella* en la piel de las zonas a**l y ge***al, incluidos los muslos y los glúteos. No es posible saber si alguien tiene gérmenes en estas zonas con solo mirar la piel. La bacteria *Shigella* presente en la piel de una persona —incluso en el ano, el pene, la va**na, los glúteos o los muslos, o alrededor de estas partes— puede propagarse a quienes toquen dicha piel.

Practique s*xo más seguro
Si usted o su pareja tienen diarrea con sangre o diarrea prolongada (que dure más de 3 días), eviten tener relaciones s*xuales. Para reducir el riesgo de propagación de *Shigella*, esperen al menos 2 semanas después de que haya desaparecido la diarrea para tener relaciones s*xuales..."
