The body's basically
a carbon unit...

:56:03
that makes about 20 different
amino acids altogether...

:56:07
to formulate its
physical structure.

:56:09
The body is
a protein-producing machine.

:56:12
In the hypothalamus, we take
small-chain proteins called peptides...

:56:17
and we assemble them into certain
neuropeptides or neurohormones...

:56:22
that match the emotional states
that we experience on a daily basis.

:56:27
So there's chemicals for anger,
and there's chemicals for sadness...

:56:32
and there's chemicals
for victimization.

:56:34
There's chemicals for lust.
There's a chemical that matches...

:56:37
every emotional state
that we experience.

:56:40
And the moment that we experience that
emotional state in our body or in our brain...

:56:46
that hypothalamus will immediately
assemble the peptide...

:56:50
and then releases it through the pituitary
into the bloodstream.

:56:54
The moment it makes it
into the bloodstream...

:56:57
it finds its way to different centers
or different parts of the body.

:57:01
Now, every single cell
in the body...

:57:04
- has these receptors on the outside.

[ Woman ] Now one cell can have
thousands of receptors...

:57:10
studding its surface,
kind of opening up to the outside world.

:57:14
And when a peptide
docks on a cell...

:57:17
it literally, uh,
like a key going into a lock...

:57:22
sits on the receptor surface
and attaches to it...

:57:26
and kind of moves
the receptor...

:57:28
and kind oflike a doorbell buzzing,
sends a signal into the cell.

:57:32

- It's party time!
