Podcasts about Dopamine

“If we want our children to be happy and successful, if we want them to reach their highest potential in self-transcendence, then the most important thing we can do is replace screens with activities that turn their focus outward.” —Clare Morell Summary It's no secret that addictive digital technologies like smartphones and social media apps are harming a generation of kids socially, mentally, and even physically. But a workable solution seems elusive. After all, don't kids need phones, and won't they be vulnerable or socially isolated without them? In this interview with Clare Morell, author of The Tech Exit, we discuss the lies parents have been sold about parental controls, screen-time limits, and even the effectiveness of screens in the classroom. There is another way!  If you need a shot in the arm to make the break from tech, listen in and see how digital technology is anything but necessary for children to live happy, healthy, and socially full lives.     Key Takeaways Putting limits on something immediately implies harm. Why are we choosing to expose our children to something that is harmful?  Dopamine that is released when a child uses screens affects the brain like a drug and produces cravings, not satisfaction.   Since screens have been in our schools, math and reading scores have hit an all time low.   Replace screen time with responsibilities and tasks, as well as hobbies and play.  Screens make us all feel like we don't need other people.  It decreases community inherently,  Life is not about being constantly amused and entertained.  We all need time for reflection, activity, and boredom.     Couple Discussion Questions Are we happy with the screen time use in our home right now?  Are we happy with our own screen time?  How can we be better?  How have screens affected our family life?  What do we want to change about this?    Resources thetechexit.com  clare.morell.substack.com Messy Family Guide to Tech:  https://messyfamilyproject.org/guide/screens-your-child/  

In today's podcast I talk about: Mind strives for Dopamine. Hyrox training. Nice and relaxing day today.

The good news? With intentional use and neurofeedback, we can restore brain function and reclaim our attention. In this episode, neuroscientist Dr. Trish Leigh reveals how "supernormal stimuli" are hijacking our dopamine systems. Pornography produces up to 400% dopamine increase (nearly cocaine-level at 450%), while screens resonate at 60 Hz, pushing brain activity into overdrive. Healthy calm focus operates at 10 Hz, but prolonged screen exposure creates the "wired-and-tired" brain simultaneous fast and slow brainwave activity leading to anxiety, poor focus, and depression. Dr. Leigh reveals how excessive screen time creates measurable brain dysfunction. Her solution: intentional balance and neurofeedback to restore optimal brainwave patterns. Recovery is possible at any age by replacing digital stimulation with real-world experiences. Don't let technology control you, learn to control it.

Dr. David Friedman interviews Dr. David Kessler, former FDA Commissioner and author of Diet, Drugs, and Dopamine, about why diets often fail and how ultra-processed foods hijack the brain's reward system. They discuss the rise of GLP-1 weight loss drugs like Ozempic, its benefits and limitations, and the importance of combining medication with nutrition, exercise, and behavior change for lasting results. Dr. Kessler also emphasizes better food labeling, the dangers of visceral fat, and how brain chemistry drives cravings and relapse.

Did you know iron levels play a HUGE role in dopamine & serotonin production (2 things ADHD brains already have less of)? And that low iron can mimic or worsen your ADHD symptoms?And studies show that people with ADHD are more likely to have lower iron levels!!! In today's episode, we're diving into a topic I wish more ADHDers knew about: Iron & ADHD.Here's what we're covering:Why iron is essential for ADHD brainsWhat low iron presents like & how it overlaps ADHD symptoms (hello, brain fog, fatigue, low mood, anxiety & more!)Why women are especially at risk and why low iron often gets missedWhy your typical blood test won't catch it and what to ask your doctor for insteadHow to check your ferritin (think: how many little ferrets are running around your bloodstream!)Why blindly taking supplements can be dangerous (too much iron is also problematic!)The 3 steps you need to take to get properly tested and supportedLow iron doesn't cause ADHD - but it can crank up your symptoms and make thriving feel impossible. This could be a game-changer for how you feel and function.

In this week's Frankly, Nate reflects on a moment of unexpected insight during a morning bike ride, which catalyzed a larger meditation on the modern human predicament. This episode explores the neuroscience of dopamine, and offers a reflection on the ways it plays into distraction, technology, and how we interact with the hyperstimulating world around us.  What is the “ghost of dopamine past,” and how does it shape not only our individual lives, but our collective economic and ecological behavior? Why does the urge to scroll on our phones override the deep calm of watching wildlife? And how might tactics like dopamine fasting or socialization help us rebalance our nervous systems in a culture engineered to constantly produce more?

My guest is Dr. Nirao Shah, MD, PhD, a professor of psychiatry, behavioral sciences and neurobiology at Stanford University School of Medicine. We discuss how the brains of males and females differ and how those differences arise from different genes and hormones during fetal development, in childhood and adulthood. We discuss what drives male- versus female-specific behaviors and how hormonal fluctuations across the lifespan, including puberty, the menstrual cycle, menopause and aging – affect behavior, cognition and health. Additionally, we discuss how biology relates to gender identity and the impact of hormone therapies on brain circuits that regulate mating, parenting and social bonding.

Dopamine is the feeling of purpose and the passion to pursue it. In Week 1 of Neurotheology, Doug Wekenman unpacks the gospel's blueprint for your dopamine-wired brain showing why Spirit-powered self-control, not quick hits, produces joy that sticks. What's fueling your mind today?

A Note from James:Ryan Holiday is one of the few writers I consider a peer—not just because of the work he's done, but because of the choices he's made along the way. We've both published a lot of books. We've both dealt with audiences, platforms, and the weight of having a “point of view” in a world that increasingly wants you to pick a side. This episode wasn't meant to be a debate or an interview. It was just two people trying to make sense of the tension between creativity and truth, honesty and influence, and why sometimes the best thing you can say is nothing at all.Episode Description:In this candid and far-ranging conversation, James Altucher sits down with bestselling author Ryan Holiday to talk about the changing nature of creativity, writing, podcasting, and personal ethics in a polarized media landscape.They discuss the illusion of having to weigh in on every issue, the danger of algorithmic thinking, and how to stay true to your voice without becoming a prisoner to your audience. Whether you're a writer, a creator, or just trying to think more clearly in chaotic times, this episode offers real insight into the forces shaping our thinking—and how to resist them.What You'll Learn:Why sharing too early can kill creative momentumHow social media shifted from expression to algorithm worshipWhy long-form podcasts might be bad for your brainHow writing differs from other art forms in its tension and permanenceThe tradeoffs between artistic freedom, platform growth, and audience expectationsTimestamped Chapters:[00:00] Writing Without Talking About It[01:00] Why Book Ideas Need Time in the Dark[02:00] Creative Compulsion vs. Discipline[03:00] Stand-Up, Dopamine, and Daily Feedback[05:00] Point of View in a Binary World[06:00] Silence, Ethics, and Speaking Up[07:00] Noise as a Form of Violence[09:00] Political vs. Philosophical Disagreements[10:00] Social Media's Shift to Opinion Farming[11:00] The Algorithm as Audience Puppet Master[12:00] When the Audience Has You[13:00] Podcasting's Algorithm Problem[14:00] Are Podcasts Dangerous?[16:00] Podcasting vs. Books: Tension and Craft[18:00] The Rise of the Longform Grifter[20:00] RFK Jr., Bad Ideas, and No Fact Checks[22:00] Why Audiobooks Outperform Podcasts[23:00] Can the Medium Save Us?[25:00] When Podcasts Work (And When They Don't)[27:00] Music and the Emotional Power of Simplicity[29:00] Songs vs. Culture War Commentary[30:00] Great Lyrics, Great Feelings[32:00] Bono, Stoicism, and Making You Feel Seen[34:00] The Parasocial Magic of Fame[35:00] Acting, Politics, and Emotional Truth[37:00] Writing as the Hardest Artform[39:00] Why Great Writing Still MattersAdditional Resources:Ryan Holiday's website: ryanholiday.netThe Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday: AmazonJames Altucher on Twitter: @jaltucherRyan Holiday's books on Amazon: Author PageOlivia Rodrigo – “Drivers License” (YouTube): Watch hereLed Zeppelin lyrics and discography: ledzeppelin.comU2 – “Sunday Bloody Sunday”: YouTubeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this solo episode, I break down a common but costly mistake most golfers make: confusing mental game strategies with mindset training.  Though both live between your ears, they are wildly different—and both are required to break through the frustration plateau and play to your full potential. I'll discuss how mental game strategies—like breath work, visualization, and pre-shot routines—are powerful, but only surface-level tools. If your identity is riddled with self-doubt, fear of judgment, or an “I'm not good enough” belief system, no amount of deep breathing can save your scorecard. This episode is packed with real talk, powerful analogies (like club vs. swing and the shattered mindset vase), and a surprising case for the one habit that will skyrocket your mindset faster than anything else: fitness. In this podcast, you'll learn: The key difference between the golf mental game and mindset training Why mental game tactics are necessary but not sufficient How identity-level beliefs sabotage your performance The real reason you skip steps you know you need to take Why knowledge alone isn't power—only action is How exercise is the ultimate mindset training tool Why lasting change requires going beneath the surface Whether you're stuck in a cycle of two steps forward, three steps back—or ready to go beyond surface fixes—this episode will show you exactly what's been missing from your training and how to reclaim control of your results.

Mindset training is your swing foundation—if that's broken, no club can help. You can't breathe your way out of a belief that you're not good enough. Dopamine-chasing golf hacks feel productive but keep you stuck. Your subconscious deploys sabotage when success feels unsafe. Lasting change requires addressing the root, not the symptoms. Fitness is the fastest, most effective way to train your mindset daily. Key Quotes: “You can't breathe your way out of a belief system that's been running your life.” “The best pre-shot routine in the world won't fix a fractured identity.” “Mindset training answers the question: Why don't I do what I know I need to do?” “Mental game training is like club selection. Mindset is your swing.” “Reading feels productive—but without action, it's just dopamine.” “Fitness is intentional discomfort—it's the gym where mental toughness is built.” “If you want to expand, you have to expand—starting with how much discomfort you can handle.” Time Stamps: 00:00: Why “Mindset” Matters More Than “Mental Game” 02:25: The Hidden Mistake Keeping You Stuck 04:52: What the Mental Game Really Is 07:09: Mental Game Tactics: Helpful but Limited 09:17: What Mindset Training Actually Targets 10:44: Why You Don't Do What You Know You Should 13:08: Club vs. Swing: A Game-Changing Analogy 15:12: Mind Over Feelings in Life and Golf 18:01: The Dopamine Trap of Mental Game Tips 20:32: Why Affirmations Alone Won't Save You 22:20: How Fear Sabotages You from the Inside 24:18: Using Hypnosis to Rewire Beliefs 26:25: The Vase Analogy: Rebuilding Your Identity 28:36: The #1 Way to Train Your Mindset 29:49: Discomfort Is the Gateway to Growth 32:01: Fit Body, Strong Mind: Why It Matters 34:13: Final Thoughts + Your Next Action Step

▶️ START YOU 7 DAY RESET HERE - www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset   In this raw and truth-filled episode of The Rebuilt Man Podcast, Coach Frank Rich flips the script on porn addiction — and calls it out for what it really is:   Avoidance.   You're not addicted to pixels. You're addicted to escaping life — pain, boredom, responsibility, silence. Porn is just the fastest escape route.   Frank exposes the hidden hierarchy of addiction most men don't see — where comfort, control, and fantasy keep you stuck, passive, and spiritually disconnected. This episode goes deep into the biological, emotional, and spiritual warfare behind your patterns — and reveals why your brain has been rewired to chase dopamine instead of purpose.   If you've ever felt stuck in the cycle of relapse, shame, and distraction… this is the wake-up call you need.  

If you're constantly overwhelmed, yet unsure where all your time goes, you're not alone!

She shares vulnerable stories from her own life and offers a hope-filled blueprint to reclaim your time, restore discipline, and start living with intention and vitality again.   This episode dives deep into:   The health consequences of chronic distraction How boundaries and discipline create freedom Why multitasking and over-researching sabotage your health goals Practical swaps to support your Foundations of Health: digestion, blood sugar, stress, sleep, movement, and a nutrient-dense diet A personal challenge to join Jamie in three weeks (Upcoming Episode 55!) as she begins her own Distraction Detox.   Whether you're a practitioner, a parent, or simply someone craving more clarity and peace, this episode is your invitation to slow down, simplify, and reconnect with what truly matters.   Listen now and take the first step toward a more grounded, focused, and nourished life.   Find a Certified Practitioner Looking for personalized support?

When your child explodes over something small, it can leave you feeling helpless, confused—and even blamed. You may find yourself asking, “Why are they so reactive? What am I missing?”These intense outbursts aren't about disrespect or defiance. They're signs of a nervous system in distress—a brain that's wired to overreact and struggles to come back to calm once it's triggered. Behind every meltdown is a child whose brain is crying out for help, not one who's trying to give you a hard time.In this episode, we'll break down what's really going on in the volatile brain—and what parents can do to bring peace back into their homes. From the neuroscience of emotional dysregulation to practical, daily tools, this episode gives you clarity, validation, and hope.What Causes Volatile Behavior in Kids?If your child melts down over seemingly minor things, it's not because they're manipulative or dramatic. Their brain is likely stuck in survival mode.Here's what's happening under the surface:The amygdala (emotional center) is in hyper-alert mode—constantly scanning for danger, even where there is none.The prefrontal cortex (logic and control) goes offline when triggered, making self-regulation impossible in that moment.Dopamine and serotonin—the neurotransmitters responsible for mood, focus, and impulse control—become imbalanced.Cortisol floods the brain, ramping up reactivity and stress.When a child is in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn, they aren't choosing chaos. Their nervous system is hijacked.What are the Common Triggers of Volatile Behavior?Chronic stress, trauma, or poor sleepNeurodevelopmental conditions (ADHD, OCD, Autism)Brain inflammation from PANS/PANDASSensory overload or diet-related crashesGut-brain issues or birth traumaVolatility is the nervous system screaming for help—not a child trying to make your life harder.How do I calm my child's volatile brain?To calm a volatile brain, we need to regulate the nervous system, not just react to behavior. That means using proactive, brain-based tools consistently—not just during meltdowns.Here's where to start:Start with daily regulation—not just in the heat of the moment.These aren't one-time fixes. Your child's brain needs predictable, calming input every day to feel safe and balanced.Vagus nerve activation (humming, breathwork, cold water) helps shift the brain into a calm, parasympathetic state.Supplements like magnesium, omega-3s, and amino acids can support healthy brain chemistry.The CALM PEMF™ device supports parasympathetic tone and reduces inflammation.Co-regulation is key.When your child is dysregulated, your calm becomes their anchor.A soft voice, steady body language, or a gentle hug can signal safety to a dysregulated brain.Don't rush to fix the behavior—focus on being the calm in the storm.Make regulation part of your family rhythm.Kids with volatile brains thrive with repetition, rhythm, and regulation.Don't wait for meltdowns to use tools—practice regulation every day, when things are calm.Build rituals that help their nervous system settle: quiet mornings, screen-free transitions, sensory breaks.Look

Visceral fat, insulin resistance, and metabolic dysfunction are driving the chronic disease epidemic—and yet, they're still misunderstood. In this compelling conversation, former FDA commissioner Dr. David Kessler, MD, explains why he believes visceral adiposity is the greatest public health failure of our lifetime.Dr. Kessler brings decades of experience (as a pediatrician, legal expert, policy leader, and author of “The End of Overeating” and “Diet, Drugs, and Dopamine”) to explore how ultra-formulated foods impact our biology, why GLP-1 drugs are only a short-term tool, and how we've misunderstood addiction when it comes to food. He also opens up about his own struggles with weight gain and metabolic health, despite having all the professional knowledge and discipline in the world.This interview covers:The link between processed food, dopamine, and metabolic diseaseWhy insulin—not just glucose—should be front and centerThe role of ketogenic and lower-carb diets for people with visceral fat or food addictionWhat went wrong with the dietary guidelinesAnd what it will take to reverse course and reclaim our healthIf you're a clinician, researcher, or someone navigating your own metabolic journey, this conversation is compelling viewing. Dr. Kessler doesn't offer easy answers, but he does help clarify where the real problem lies and how we might begin to fix it.Expert Featured:Dr. David Kessler, FACHEResources Mentionedhttps://www.amazon.com/Diet-Drugs-Dopamine-David-Kessler-ebook/dp/B0D33Y6L42/Follow our channel for more information and education from Bret Scher, MD, FACC, including interviews with leading experts in Metabolic Psychiatry.Learn more about metabolic psychiatry and find helpful resources at https://metabolicmind.org/About us:Metabolic Mind is a non-profit initiative of Baszucki Group working to transform the study and treatment of mental disorders by exploring the connection between metabolism and brain health.

She is the Founder of the Inner Mammal Institute and author of Habits of a Happy Brain: Retrain your brain to boost your serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphin levels.Our happy brain chemicals are not designed to be on all the time. When you know what sparks them in the state of nature, you can find healthy ways to spark them in daily life.But it is hard. Our brain is inherited from ancestors who had to struggle constantly to survive. Our chemicals are designed to reward us for taking action to meet our survival needs. Our unhappy chemicals turn on easily because our ancestors lived in a world of threat.Managing these chemicals is a skill we must learn from practice, like any other skill. She will teach you how, so you can enjoy your natural dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphin in new ways.She has helped thousands of people make peace with their inner mammal. Her ten books have been translated into eighteen languages. She has been on many podcasts and has her own: The Happy Brain Podcast.This method is all positive. It is not about disorders. It is not about diet, exercise, or mindfulness. It is about accepting the natural job of your chemicals so you can guide your mammal brain the way a rider guides a horse. https://innermammalinstitute.org/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

Story at-a-glance Motivation isn't just about willpower; it also starts with brain chemistry. Dopamine drives your internal momentum to act, and thiamine plays a key role in keeping this system energized Thiamine deficiency disrupts energy metabolism in high-demand organs like the brain and heart. Early symptoms include fatigue, brain fog, irritability, and poor physical recovery after exertion New research shows a fat-soluble form of thiamine called tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide (TTFD) increases your motivation to exercise by activating brain arousal systems Thiamine also helps your body clear fatigue by improving lactate handling and carbon dioxide output, both of which are essential for efficient recovery after physical or mental exertion To support healthy thiamine levels, eat nutrient-dense whole foods that provide a spectrum of B vitamins, avoid alcohol and refined sugar, supplement when needed, and correct magnesium deficiency

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode my guest is Dr. Robert Sapolsky, PhD, a professor of biology, neurology and neurological sciences at Stanford University.   We discuss different types of stress and how our perception of stress as harmful or beneficial largely depends on context. He also explains how testosterone amplifies pre-existing behaviors and tendencies, and he highlights the crucial role of estrogen in supporting brain and body health.

All the neurochemicals in the brain have to do with life in the present. Except for one: dopamine. Dopamine is the one neurochemical that looks to the future. It anticipates what may be to come and drives you towards it.That can be a good thing — dopamine is one powerful motivator — but it also has its downsides. Here to help us understand how the most important chemical in the brain works and how to deal with its pitfalls is Michael Long. Michael is a trained physicist turned writer whose latest book is Taming the Molecule of More. Mike and I discuss how dopamine, for better and worse, makes you want what you don't have. He shares what causes low dopamine activity, how to know if you're experiencing it, and what increases dopamine. We then talk about how to deal with the consequences of dopamine in some of the scenarios in which it plays a role — like losing the spark in a relationship and getting stuck in a smartphone scroll habit — and why so much of taming dopamine comes down to living in the here and now. We end our conversation with why The Great Gatsby is really a novel about dopamine and the fundamental answer to not letting the dopamine chase lead you around.Resources Related to the PodcastMike's previous appearance on the AoM podcastAoM Article: How to Do a Dopamine ResetAoM Podcast #745: Do You Need to Take a Dopamine Fast?AoM Article: Your Life Explained Through DopamineConnect With Michael Long  Taming the Molecule website

I describe the wide-ranging symptoms of depression and explain how key neurotransmitters, hormones, stress, genetics and inflammation contribute to its development and persistence.
