Today's Sponsors: Backgate Prayers (promo code DTNECKLACE) & Cozy Earth (promo code DADTIREDBOGO)Why does real life feel boring sometimes?Why does your phone feel more exciting than prayer, your marriage, or even God?In this episode, we talk about dopamine—the brain's reward system—and how our world has hijacked it with cheap, artificial pleasures. From scrolling and porn to sugar and streaming, we've trained our souls to crave fireworks instead of candles.Jerrad shares stories, Scripture, and practical wisdom to help men understand what's happening in their brains and hearts—and how to slowly retrain their desires toward the kind of joy God actually designed.If you've felt tired, numb, or disconnected from God and your family, this episode will help you name what's happening and take your first step toward healing.

In this episode, we talk to David Herrera to explore why biology, not motivation, determines follow-through, discipline, and health.We dive deep into how light exposure, dopamine, circadian rhythm, cold, and modern environments shape everything from energy levels and sleep to hormones, mood, addiction, and long-term disease risk. From blue light and melatonin to vitamin D myths, sunscreen, seed oils, and why kids spend less time outside than prisoners, this conversation challenges nearly everything we've been taught about “health.”This isn't about hacks.It's about restoring the inputs humans evolved with.References:https://x.com/DrJackKruse/status/2009355665538720248David's House:https://www.loom.com/share/0d2d864b0c724a6390f1096915a19e21Monitor mentioned:https://spectrumview.com/Special perks for our listeners below!

Do you feel unmotivated, distracted, and mentally drained no matter how hard you try? You're not lazy. You're stuck in a dopamine hole. In this episode, I break down what dopamine actually is, how constant stimulation quietly destroys your focus and joy, and why scrolling, snacking, and nonstop noise keep you feeling numb and stuck. I explain how overstimulation lowers your dopamine baseline, leaving you craving quick hits while meaningful work feels impossible. Feeling stuck? It's time to take back control.

In today's episode, you'll learn how to get motivated, even when you don't feel like it. If you feel unmotivated, scatter brained, or exhausted… If you keep reaching for your phone, wine, or the remote even when you want to stop… If you're frustrated with yourself for lacking discipline…. This conversation will help you stop wasting time and finally understand why it's so hard to do the things you know you should do. Joining Mel today is Dr. Anna Lembke, MD, who is the world's leading expert on dopamine and compulsive behavior.

Dopamine isn't just about pleasure—it's the master regulator of motivation, pain, digestion, immune function, and healing capacity. In this episode of The Health Revival Show, we break down how dopamine dysfunction shows up as burnout, chronic pain, IBS, constipation, low motivation, anxiety, and stalled healing. We explore the difference between low dopamine tone vs dopamine resistance, how chronic stress and modern life blunt reward signaling, and why gut protocols often fail when the nervous system isn't addressed. You'll learn how dopamine impacts the immune system, gut motility, inflammation, and recovery—and what actually helps restore balance, from circadian rhythm and protein intake to dopamine detox strategies and targeted support. If you've tried “everything” and still feel stuck, flat, or exhausted, this episode connects the dots you've been missing.

Most Christians don't lose their faith overnight. They lose it slowly—through fatigue, distraction, and disorder. In this episode, Coach Alex breaks down why mornings are not just a productivity hack, but a spiritual battleground.Drawing from Scripture, neuroscience, circadian biology, and lived discipleship, he shows how your first 30 minutes shape your faithfulness, clarity, and emotional regulation for the entire day. You'll learn why Scripture before screens matters neurologically and biblically, why sunlight and movement anchor your nervous system, how prayer realigns your loves, and why delaying dopamine restores authority over your mind.This isn't aesthetic “quiet time.” It's embodied stewardship of the body God designed.Main Discussion Themes-Why mornings are about consecration, not self-care-First fruits theology and the discipline of order-Scripture before screens: neurological and spiritual implications-Circadian rhythm, cortisol, testosterone, and morning light-Dopamine, novelty, and nervous system dysregulation-Training attention toward truth instead of threat-Prayer as alignment, not performance-Habit formation and spiritual plasticity -Stewardship of the body as worship-A simple, repeatable, faithful morning rule of lifeTimestamped Outline0:00 – 0:45 Hook: “If Satan can't steal your salvation, he'll gladly steal your morning.” Why most Christians drift through fatigue, distraction, and disorder.0:45 – 1:45 Biblical foundation: Psalms 5:3, Mark 1:35, Lamentations 3:23.

JOIN THE 7 DAY RESET - ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset   What happens when the content you used to watch no longer does it for you?   In this powerful Q&A episode of The Rebuilt Man Podcast, Coach Frank Rich and Head Coach Arnold tackle one of the most common  and most misunderstood  experiences men face in porn addiction: escalation into more extreme content.   A listener bravely asks: "Why do I keep escalating… and can I undo the damage?"   Frank and Arnold break down the neuroscience behind porn escalation, explain how dopamine desensitization rewires the brain, and share practical steps men can take to reverse the conditioning and reclaim control.   This episode covers: Why the brain craves more extreme content over time   The science of desensitization and dopamine tolerance   How escalation happens (and why it's not a character flaw)   Why social media fuels relapse without men realizing it   Cold turkey vs. gradual recovery — what actually works   How to retrain your brain toward healthy dopamine   The role of identity, environment, and brotherhood in real transformation   Why isolation keeps men trapped — and community accelerates healing     If you've ever felt ashamed of where your habits have taken you, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and a proven path forward.   You are not broken. But you must take this seriously. And there is a way out.   If you're serious about breaking the cycle and becoming the man you were created to be, this episode will hit home.  

What is the deadliest item in London’s Vagina Museum? Why are drug addiction rates in Australia spiking by over 30% post-pandemic? And if you’ve already had two surgeries for inherited bunions, is “third time’s a charm" actually possible? What makes a substance addictive, and why is it so hard to just "quit"? In this episode, Claire Murphy and Dr. Mariam dive into the complexities of drug addiction in Australia, from the alarming rise of vaping among teens, to the shifting chemistry of the brain. We are joined by Dr. Shalini Arunogiri, an addiction psychiatrist, Associate Professor at Monash University and Clinical Director at Turning Point. She breaks down the "reward" chemicals like dopamine and serotonin that hook us, the reality of relapse, and why alcohol remains the most harmful drug from a population health perspective. Dr. Shalini also addresses the cannabis debate - exploring the link between high-potency use and psychosis - and why the term "addict" is being replaced by more empathetic, health-centered language. But first, we take a field trip to London’s Vagina Museum to look at its deadliest item…We discuss the history of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), the biology of the vaginal wall and why "retained tampon smell" is a more common clinic visit than you’d think. And, in our Quick Consult, Dr. Mariam helps listener Simone navigate the tricky world of "inherited bunions".

This week on Live Well Be Well, I'm joined by Dr Anders Hansen, psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and bestselling author of The Real Happy Pill and Brain Blues, to explore how modern life is reshaping our mental health, focus, and emotional resilience.In this conversation, Anders explains why anxiety, low mood, and restlessness are not failures of the mind, but evolutionary responses that no longer fit our current environment. We discuss how movement, boredom, attention, and social connection shape brain chemistry, and why understanding our evolutionary wiring can help us respond to stress with more compassion and clarity.Here's What We Dive Into:- Why the human brain evolved for survival, not constant happiness or comfort.- How modern environments amplify anxiety, low mood, and attention problems.- Why physical movement is one of the most effective interventions for mental health.- How boredom and mental rest support creativity, emotional regulation, and focus.- What social connection does to the brain, and why isolation increases psychological distress.- How dopamine, serotonin, and stress hormones respond to modern stimulation.- Why chasing happiness can backfire, and what a healthier goal looks like.- How understanding evolution helps reduce shame around mental health struggles.Love, Sarah Ann

It's a controversial topic, fasting, especially for women. Dr. Mindy Pelz was teaching women to fast primarily because they wanted to lose weight, but what she was witnessing was women saying things like, "I lost weight, but my hair's falling out. I don't have a period anymore. I sat down with Dr. Mindy Pelz, New York Times bestselling author of Age Like a Girl, hormone expert, and the voice redefining fasting for women - because doing it wrong can wreck your health. We explore why fasting affects women differently, how ketones can restore brain function during menopause, and why understanding your hormonal cycle is critical for metabolic health, cognitive performance, and longevity.

This powerful clip is from episode 340.In this electric microsode, I sit down with Rich — former Navy SEAL, resilience architect, + student of fear — to break down what actually happens inside your mind when uncertainty hits. Through years of lived experience in extreme environments, Rich offers a simple but profound truth:Fear = uncertainty + anxiety. Shift one… and everything changes.We dive into the psychology, the biology, + the spiritual grit it takes to stay grounded when chaos erupts. Rich takes us into the world of SEAL training, freefalls, gunfire, high-stakes decisions — and shows us how to translate those same principles into the everyday battles of the human psyche.This microsode is a masterclass in horizon management, emotional focus, dopamine alignment, + the art of staying HERE instead of spiraling into mental fiction. If you've ever felt consumed by anxiety… this one is medicine.TAKE THIS WITH YOU: • Fear isn't a monster — it's a formula. Change the variables, reclaim the power. • Anxiety is future-fiction; presence is truth. • When life descends into chaos, ask: What do I KNOW? What can I CONTROL? • A moving horizon keeps the mind steady + the heart courageous. • Dopamine isn't a reward — it's a compass. Set better horizons, get better outcomes.Missed the Full Episode?

What if the real question isn't just how to live longer, but why so many people are living longer and healthier lives on paper, yet feel depleted, inflamed, disconnected, or cognitively foggy in daily life?In this solo episode, Dr. Taz reframes what longevity really means and why healthy aging has far less to do with chasing more years and far more to do with protecting cellular health, vitality, and resilience across decades. She explains why humans are living longer than ever before, yet not necessarily living better, and how focusing only on disease management or biohacking trends misses the real drivers of aging.You'll learn why longevity is not defined by a number, but by biological age, health span, and cellular aging, and how inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, gut imbalance, nervous system stress, emotional disconnection, and loss of community quietly accelerate aging long before symptoms become diagnoses.This episode reframes longevity as a full body system, not a supplement stack or a protocol. One that integrates physical health, brain function, emotional regulation, spirituality, and community. When these systems fall out of sync, aging speeds up. When they are supported together, living longer becomes living with clarity, strength, and purpose.Dr. Taz shares: • What longevity actually means and why lifespan and health span are not the same • Why humans are living longer but not necessarily healthier • How cellular aging, inflammation, and metabolic stress drive chronic disease • Why diet quality, gut health, liver function, movement, sleep, and nervous system balance matter more than biohacking • How cognitive reserve, dopamine regulation, and emotional health protect the aging brain • Why community and spirituality are overlooked but essential pillars of healthy aging • Where peptides, hormones, and modern longevity tools fit and where they don't • How to build a longevity plan that is realistic, accessible, and sustainableWhether you're thinking about how to live longer, worried about aging faster than you should, or simply want to protect your health span as you move through midlife and beyond, this episode offers a grounded, integrative roadmap.Longevity is not about optimizing harder. It's about supporting the systems that keep you well, year after year.Stay Connected:Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Follow Dr. Taz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsGet your copy of The Hormone Shift: Balance Your Body and Thrive Through Midlife and MenopauseHost & Production TeamHost: Dr. Taz; Produced by ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek)Chapters00:00 Longevity is not about more years00:50 Are humans really living longer01:49 The global aging reality03:31 Why aging became something to fear05:17 Aging on a spectrum, not a number06:07 The hidden disease burden of aging08:31 Cellular aging explained09:45 Why biohacking misses the foundation11:10 The five-body approach to longevity13:10 Community, emotion, and aging14:05 Diet, inflammation, and cellular health16:19 Medications, gut health, and aging16:49 Fasting, calories, and longevity18:52 What eating for longevity actually means19:39 Movement and aging well21:35 Sleep, repair, and brain health22:50 Dementia, cognitive reserve, and prevention24:20 Dopamine, emotion, and brain aging26:49 Spirituality, community, and vitality30:05 Peptides, hormones, and future medicine31:58 A new vision for positive aging32:48 Longevity is built day by day (00:00) - Longevity is not about more years (00:50) - Are humans really living longer (01:49) - The global aging reality (03:31) - Why aging became something to fear (05:17) - Aging on a spectrum, not a number (06:07) - The hidden disease burden of aging (08:31) - Cellular aging explained (09:45) - Why biohacking misses the foundation (11:10) - The five-body approach to longevity (13:10) - Community, emotion, and aging (14:05) - Diet, inflammation, and cellular health (16:19) - Medications, gut health, and aging (16:49) - Fasting, calories, and longevity (18:52) - What eating for longevity actually means (19:39) - Movement and aging well (21:35) - Sleep, repair, and brain health (22:50) - Dementia, cognitive reserve, and prevention (24:20) - Dopamine, emotion, and brain aging (26:49) - Spirituality, community, and vitality (30:05) - Peptides, hormones, and future medicine (31:58) - A new vision for positive aging (32:48) - Longevity is built day by day

In this episode, I finally figured out what was missing - and it had nothing to do with magnesium, valerian, or sleep hygiene before bed. This case humbled me. I'd treated her twice before with all the "right" things - minerals, adaptogens, calming herbs, etc., and nothing worked. When she came back a third time, desperate and hardly sleeping, I knew I had to dig deeper. What I found changed how I think about restless leg syndrome entirely. RLS isn't a muscle problem. It's not a simple mineral deficiency. It's a nervous system excitability disorder driven by overlapping dysfunctions: dopamine signaling, brain iron metabolism, inflammation, and liver function. I discovered the smoking gun was a protein called hepcidin which controls iron trafficking in the body. When inflammation is high and the liver is congested, iron gets trapped. The brain starves. Dopamine drops. And the legs can't stop moving. In this episode, I walk you through the research that opened my eyes, the labs that finally made sense, and the Phase One protocol I built from scratch. After just two weeks, she's already seeing improvement - not because I treated her legs, but because I treated the right things in the right order. If you've ever had a case that forced you to start over, this one's for you. Download the 6 Principles of Clinical Thinking Join Clinical Academy

Why does motivation feel harder than ever—even when you want more for your life?In this episode of The One Second of Strength Podcast, Tanner Clark breaks down the hidden cost of cheap dopamine—the instant rewards we get from phones, social media, scrolling, gaming, and constant entertainment.This isn't about laziness or lack of discipline.It's about how our brains are being trained to avoid discomfort—and how that slowly reshapes our identity.Tanner explains:Why cheap dopamine feels good now but steals confidence laterHow avoiding discomfort rewires the brain to quit earlyWhy motivation doesn't come before action—it comes afterThe small, powerful choice that begins rebuilding self-respect and mental strengthThis episode is especially relevant for teens, parents, and educators who are seeing rising anxiety, lower resilience, and a growing fear of hard things.You don't need to overhaul your life.You need one moment where you don't chase the easy reward.RATE: Leave a 5 Start rating for the showSHARE: Who is ONE person who needs this today?SUBSCRIBE: Never miss another episode.

Geoffrey Blaylock Returns: The Information That's Gap Killing Addicts | The Hopeaholics PodcastIn this powerful return episode, Geoffrey Blaylock comes back to the Hopeaholics Podcast to continue the conversation on addiction as a brain-based disease, diving even deeper into the realities that families and individuals often misunderstand. Building on his previous appearance, he expands on trauma, attachment, and epigenetics, while challenging outdated intervention models and the damaging belief that addiction is simply a choice. He explains how impaired decision-making, toxic shame, and nervous system dysregulation keep people trapped in cycles of relapse and self-destruction. Through compelling analogies and real-world clinical examples, he clarifies why education is one of the most critical tools in saving lives. Geoffrey also discusses how addiction affects not just the individual, but entire family systems, often pulling loved ones into their own form of emotional dysregulation. The conversation emphasizes the importance of compassion without enabling, accountability without punishment, and support rooted in neuroscience rather than fear.Check out Geoffrey's First Episode:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeJN23-Gsx4#thehopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

In this solo episode, Darin breaks down one of the most misunderstood drivers of behavior change: environment. We've been taught that success comes down to discipline, motivation, and willpower, but neuroscience tells a very different story. Darin explains how modern environments hijack the brain's reward system, override conscious choice, and quietly shape habits before we even realize it. This episode is a practical, science-backed roadmap for redesigning your surroundings so healthy behaviors become automatic and self-sabotaging patterns lose their grip.     What You'll Learn Why willpower is a weak and unreliable backup system How your environment shapes behavior before conscious choice The neuroscience behind cues, habits, and automatic behavior Why modern food and tech are engineered to hijack dopamine How stress amplifies cravings and impulsive behavior The link between cortisol, dopamine, and habit formation Why changing your environment works better than "trying harder" How visual cues influence food choices and cravings Why phones, notifications, and color overstimulate the brain Simple ways to design a SuperLife environment that supports your goals     Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife and the mission of sovereignty 00:00:33 – Sponsor: TruNiagen NAD⁺ supplements and why verification matters 00:02:18 – Introducing today's topic: environment vs willpower 00:02:42 – Why willpower has been misunderstood 00:03:18 – Willpower as a weak backup system 00:03:32 – How surroundings shape habits automatically 00:03:53 – The neuroscience of behavior change 00:04:01 – Dopamine hijacking in modern life 00:04:14 – Designing environments that make good habits automatic 00:05:06 – Why this topic matters more than ever 00:05:46 – External cues and automatic brain responses 00:06:18 – Hippocampus, basal ganglia, and habit loops 00:06:55 – Nudge theory and environmental design 00:07:31 – Why willpower shouldn't lead behavior change 00:07:55 – Food cues, stress, and cravings 00:08:20 – Phones, notifications, and dopamine overload 00:09:05 – Reward prediction and cue-driven behavior 00:10:02 – Redesigning environments to reduce addiction 00:10:34 – Stress hormones and habit reinforcement 00:11:30 – Sponsor: Our Place non-toxic cookware 00:13:34 – Stress, scrolling, and lost time 00:14:26 – Junk food, stress, and compulsive eating 00:15:12 – How environmental cues shift food desire 00:15:28 – Engineered foods and reward circuits 00:16:09 – Tech cues, stress, and attention hijacking 00:17:06 – Practical solutions: designing a SuperLife environment 00:17:48 – Kitchen setup and visual food cues 00:18:41 – Workspace design and single-purpose zones 00:19:08 – Reducing digital dopamine triggers 00:19:32 – Using grayscale mode on your phone 00:20:32 – Social environment and behavior modeling 00:21:21 – Community, support, and the SuperLife Patreon 00:22:18 – Bringing nature into your home 00:23:19 – Environment influences habits more than willpower 00:23:52 – Why inaction keeps you stuck 00:24:13 – Changing your environment to change your life 00:24:26 – Closing thoughts and call to action     Thank You to Our Sponsors: Our Place: Non-toxic cookware that keeps harmful chemicals out of your food.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared introduces a refined Emotional Vitality format and tackles one of the most common struggles in modern life: overwhelm. Rather than being a mindset failure or lack of willpower, overwhelm is explained as a nervous system state—specifically a freeze response driven by brain chemistry and stress signaling. Jared breaks down what's happening neurologically, why procrastination is often protection, and how clarity and motivation shut down under chronic stress. You'll learn practical, science-grounded tools to regulate your nervous system through simple physical actions, breathing, language shifts, and small, specific steps that restore agency. Supplement support like magnesium, ashwagandha, L-theanine, and B vitamins is discussed as supportive—not corrective—tools. This episode is about skill-building, self-leadership, and learning how to move forward when life feels heavy.Products:Magnesium BisglycinateUltimate Vitality MultiActive B ComplexAnxiety ReleaseSensoril AshwagandhaL-TheanineVitality Radio POW!

Mood, motivation, and emotional resilience are not personality traits. They are biological systems. In this episode, you'll get the 12 greatest mood boosters on Earth, not as a clickbait supplement list, but as the real biological levers that control dopamine sensitivity, hormones, neuroplasticity, and energy production.Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down in Dubai with friend of the show, Lucas Aoun, founder of Ergogenic Health and INB4, for a deep, experience driven conversation on dopamine, mood, and performance. Lucas is Australia's leading biohacker, now based in Dubai, with a background in exercise science, naturopathy, and pharmacology. He is globally recognized for his work in dopamine regulation, testosterone optimization, and neurohormonal performance, and for rigorously testing protocols before recommending them. Together, Dave and Lucas explore how dopamine receptor upregulation changes motivation, mood, and resilience more effectively than stimulants alone. They break down compounds and systems discussed in the episode including solbutiamine, lithium orotate, sarcosine, inositol, uridine, testosterone, growth hormone, ketamine pathways, thyroid optimization, liver health, sleep quality, and desire regulation. The conversation also examines GLP-1 drugs, why they can blunt motivation, and how to think more strategically about long term mood and energy. This episode connects neuroscience, functional medicine, hormone biology, nootropics, and advanced biohacking ethics into a single framework for improving how you feel and function every day. Dave and Lucas also explain why experimentation requires guardrails, how to avoid tolerance and emotional flattening, and why upgrading baseline biology beats chasing quick fixes. You'll Learn: • Why dopamine sensitivity matters more than dopamine levels • How mood, motivation, and desire are regulated biologically • Which compounds and systems came up as major mood levers • How testosterone and growth hormone influence emotional resilience • Why some longevity drugs may reduce motivation and drive • How sleep depth and mitochondrial function affect mood • The role of neuroplasticity in emotional regulation • Why strategic testing beats random supplementation • How to improve mood without addiction or burnout • Where to start if you want sustainable energy and motivation Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade is the top podcast for people who want to take control of their biology, extend their longevity, and optimize every system in the body and mind.

Send me a text! I'd LOVE to hear your feedback on this episode!Many women experience rising anxiety in midlife as menopause and hormonal brain changes reshape fear circuits, confidence, sleep, motivation, and emotional resilience. In this episode, I explore why women often feel more fear in midlife - how biology, culture, and lived experience quietly rewire the nervous system - and how to expand again instead of shrinking.This science-meets-soul episode unpacks the menopause brain, nervous system conditioning, and the emotional load women carry, including the effects of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, dopamine, blood sugar, vision changes, and sleep disruption on anxiety, cognition, and confidence.I also explore how trauma, grief, chronic responsibility, and cultural scripts shape risk sensitivity over time, often creating the feeling that you're “pulling back” from life even when your true capacity is still there.This episode includes a grounded, practical roadmap to rebuild emotional safety and confidence, including:• Menopause brain changes and midlife anxiety• Dopamine shifts, cognition, and eyesight changes affecting confidence• Cultural load and narrowing tolerance• Trauma, grief, and nervous system conditioning• Hormones and fear circuits: estrogen, progesterone, testosterone• Sleep, blood sugar, and hormone-support foundations• Micro-exposures to safely expand capacity• Specific breathwork, EMDR, and BEAM Therapy• Strength training, novelty, identity reinvention, and community• A daily, weekly, and quarterly protocol for personal expansionIf you're in midlife and wondering why fear feels louder, and how to turn this chapter into power instead of contraction, this episode brings both the biology and the path forward.Please share this episode with a woman who needs it.Follow Sandy K Nutrition on all platforms, and if this resonated, leave a rating or review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts as it truly helps the show reach more.Support the showPlease rate & review my podcast with a few kind words on Apple or Spotify.

Have you ever found yourself in a place of fatigue, depression, isolating from others and just feeling like you're tolerance for things that used to bring life joy just aren't there anymore? There could be many things that contribute to this, but one of the things that can be contributing is something called dopamine crash. How does the dopamine crash take us out of God's design for life? In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field, Director of Celebrate Recovery, will unpack what a dopamine crash is and how going outside of God's design for stimulation and natural dopamine release can lead to unhealthy consequences. There is hope and a way out of it if we're willing to acknowledge it and understand it and invite God and others into it.

Dopamine Discipline Explained: The Neuroscience of Delayed RewardIf you struggle with focus, consistency, or self-discipline, I want you to hear this.This is not a motivation problem. It is dopamine overstimulation.When your brain is trained on instant reward, it stops working for your future. Planning weakens. Effort feels harder. Long-term goals lose their pull because dopamine is spent on relief rather than on pursuit.In Dopamine Discipline Explained: The Neuroscience of Delayed Reward, I walk you through how dopamine is meant to work, why overstimulation collapses self-discipline, and how to retrain your nervous system to delay reward and build real follow-through.This is not a dopamine detox or a hype talk.This is a neuroscience-based discipline for people who want lasting change.If you are ready to stop the hijack and start the reset, explore brain mapping and neurofeedback with me at drtrishleigh.com. Send us a textSupport the showHi.

When Kerry received a diabetes diagnosis and was offered a shot, she felt a quiet check in her spirit—convicted there was another way. She chose whole foods, consistent movement, and faith in God's possibility. Result: 31 pounds lost and A1C lowered naturally—no meds needed. But like so many of us, Kerry still struggled with evenings—that tired pull toward a "reward" snack when the day finally winds down. In this episode, Alisa coaches Kerry (and us) on why evening cravings hit hard, what's happening biologically after dinner, and how to meet those moments with kindness, wisdom, and Spirit-led alternatives. Key Insights Cravings are, at their root, a search for relief How hormones can sometimes make the journey feel harder The reliable path forward: whole foods in healthy portions, consistent movement, and giving the body time to heal and settle at its natural set point Why Evenings Feel So Tough Decision fatigue + shifting circadian rhythms reduce impulse control Dopamine is actively seeking reward while rising melatonin naturally lowers restraint Step One Awareness: simply noticing patterns and getting curious in the moment Scripture Anchors Hebrews 8: Set your mind on things above Galatians 5: The flesh opposes the Spirit Philippians 1:6: He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion
