Episode Synopsis

Think about the last time you scrolled TikTok, checked your email, or reached for chocolate without even realizing it. That wasn’t just willpower—or lack of it—that was your brain’s dopamine system at work.Dopamine isn’t about pleasure. It’s your brain’s ‘get up and go’ chemical—the thing that motivates you to seek, chase, and crave. And in today’s world, our apps, our food, even our streaming platforms are designed to hijack it.In this episode, we’re diving into the female dopamine system: how it really works, how it gets hijacked in the 21st century, and—most importantly—how we can retrain our brains to rely on slow, sustainable dopamine for long-term resilience, focus, and joy.WELCOME TO THE DOPAMNE MENU.
