In this episode, I’m diving into the brain chemical that rules our lives: dopamine. Pulling from Dr. Anna Lembke’s Dopamine Nation, Andrew Huberman’s research on addiction, and the book The Molecule of More, we’ll cover:

✨ Why dopamine isn’t about happiness—it’s about wanting more

✨ How love, sex, drugs, and TikTok all hijack the same system

✨ Why the honeymoon phase feels like a drug… and why long-term love feels different

✨ The dark side of dopamine: addiction, tolerance, anxiety

✨ How to reclaim dopamine for creativity, ambition & joy

Whether you’re addicted to your phone, chasing love like it’s cocaine, or just trying to understand why Oreos are impossible to eat ā€œin moderation,ā€ this episode will make you laugh and maybe change how you live.

šŸ‘€ Watch, subscribe, and share your weirdest dopamine spiral in the comments.
