Description:

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 “in moderation,” this episode will make you laugh and maybe change how you live.


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