What happens when your brain shuts down the very systems that bring joy, energy, and motivation?

For Andy W, the author of Dopamine Mountain and Anhedonia Wastelands, this wasn’t a theoretical question—it was her reality for nearly four years.
In this powerful episode, Andy shares her journey through severe chronic fatigue, cognitive decline, and anhedonic depression, and how she clawed her way back by hacking the dopamine reward system. With raw honesty and scientific insight, she unpacks the tools, mindset shifts, and lifestyle changes that led to her full recovery—including how she overcame migraines, chronic pain, and rewired her parasympathetic nervous system.
