In this episode of The Wealthy Consultant Podcast, Mike and Taylor delve into the science behind motivation, specifically focusing on the role of dopamine. Contrary to popular belief, motivation is not an emotion but a chemical process. The discussion covers how understanding the chemistry of dopamine can help overcome procrastination, analysis paralysis, and other mental blocks. The episode explains how dopamine acts as a neurotransmitter that initiates but does not sustain effort, emphasizing the importance of rewards and proper timing for goal achievement.

Hey team! I've recently been seeing a lot more stuff around the concept of dopamine fasting.Now, I'm going to start by saying that I'm entering this conversation with a bit of trepidation because it comes from a side of the internet that… well, they tend to have good intentions, but this basically amounts to bro science despite the backing it does have.The idea behind dopamine fasting is to reduce or eliminate activities that provide instant gratification and a quick release of dopamine. So, someone going through a dopamine fast might give up using their phone, watching TV, video games, junk food, and alcohol, plus anything else they see as their go-to dopamine activities for, say a 24-hour period. I know, sounds like torture.The idea here is that because we've glutted our brains on all these easy dopamine activities, we want to try to “reset” the process to regain a more sensitive system that isn't seeking that quick hit all the time.In today's episode, we'll break down this concept and examine whether it works (hint: I already called it bro science) and what, if anything, we can still gain from the ideas.Support me on PatreonAsk me a question on my Contact PageFind the show note at HackingYourADHD.com/190This Episode's Top Tips When dopamine fasting, you are trying to reduce or eliminate activities like watching TV, playing video games, eating junk food, and drinking alcohol that would give you a quick release of dopamine. While there may be some benefits in abstaining from these activities, the idea of doing a dopamine fast to reset your system doesn't hold much water.Instead of trying to use a dopamine fast to create a quick fix, it's better to examine your habits and daily activities that lead to feeling like you need one and see how you can modulate those.With ADHD, we often are understimulated, and by doing something slightly stimulating, like playing with a fidget toy, can help improve our focus and concentration.

Dopamine is often associated with helping us feel pleasure, though its role in the body is far more complex. The neurotransmitter is essential for memory and learning, as well as reward-related behaviours. But some of those behaviours can be problematic. Patricia Di Ciano, a scientist with the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, breaks down how dopamine functions, and whether dopamine fasting actually works.

Dopamine fasting is a relatively new trend that has gained popularity in recent years. The idea behind it is to take a break from certain activities or behaviors that release dopamine, such as using social media, eating certain foods, or engaging in other pleasurable activities. By doing so, the brain's reward system is given a chance to reset, leading to increased motivation, focus, and productivity. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/m-k-jayadev/support

If you don't control your dopamine receptors, they will control you.Look at your life. It's a product of your behaviour. Look at your behaviour; is it a product of the neurotransmitter dopamine? Dopamine runs people's lives, and most people have no say or control in the way they unconsciously behave because their relationship with stimulus is ruined by dopamine. Today's video tackles this issue and gives you my exact strategies and methods I used to ‘hack' my dopamine receptors and system so I can be 10x more productive and get 10x more work done.And no, it's not going to tell you to ‘fast from dopamine for 24 hours'. That doesn't work.I hope you find it helpful. If you do, consider subscribing :)Thanks,Charlie

This week is slightly different to our normal episodes, we thought we'd have a bit of light heated fun this week talking about Dopamine Fasting so we give our personal thoughts on it!Dopamine fasting is a silicon valley craze and it's rising in popularity. The idea is to reduce your exposure to dopamine creating stimulus in order to “reset” your body. It's born on the idea that we have so many dopamine hits daily that we've become numb. It varies in levels of intensity. Some people go on a digital detox, whereas the most extreme version involves periods of 24hrs where you don't eat or drink anything but water and even avoid talking to other people as this can be a stimulus. The Science Section!There were no studies available but we but did find a blog post from Harvard Medical School:https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/dopamine-fasting-misunderstanding-science-spawns-a-maladaptive-fad-2020022618917Their conclusion is you can't fast from a naturally occurring brain chemical and so the science doesn't support it (This talks about the extreme version of fasting. They do see benefits in a digital detox as an opportunity to reconnect)We discuss how to do this in a healthy way in our social media episodes, so we encourage you to go back and check them out!Don't forget to follow the podcast on this platform!We'd love it if you could leave us a review and let us know what you think!!!NEW EPISODE EVERY SUNDAY AT 6PM!!!Our Socialswww.adopaminekick.comFollow us on Instagramwww.instagram.com/adopaminekickLike us on Facebookwww.facebook.com/adopaminekickwww.adopaminekick.comEmail us: adopaminekick@gmail.comSupport the showIf you'd like to support the show please consider subscribing to us, it starts at $3 a month:BUZZSPROUT Subscriptionhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1898728/supporters/newBuy Me A Coffeehttps://bmc.link/adopaminekickThanks so much to anyone that donates to us, we really appreciate it.Our Socialswww.adopaminekick.comFollow us on Instagramwww.instagram.com/adopaminekickLike us on Facebookwww.facebook.com/adopaminekickEmail us: adopaminekick@gmail.com Support the show

Hear it Here - A Detox to End Them All A dopamine detox is a new strategy that can help you reduce the levels of dopamine your brain is used to. It's a relatively new technique that draws from existing theories and research to help you unplug and cut down on all the activities that are keeping you hooked. If you do such a detox, you'll notice that much of the vocabulary comes from the addiction world, and that's because the underlying mechanisms for “classic” addictions to things like alcohol or drugs are essentially the same as the ones keeping you hooked to online shopping, Instagram, or “doomscrolling” on your phone at night when you should be sleeping. 02:27 Here are some habits and activities that can give you dopamine, but which are not all that great for you. • Using social media, messengers, and your phone • Video games and mobile games • Watching shows, movies, and consuming content in general • Consuming pornography • Eating high-sugar foods and snacks, junk food • Taking stimulants - coffee, tea, chocolate, some sodas, and sugary drinks, drugs • Online shopping and browsing without purchasing • Consuming online content that features clickbait, outrage, and other manipulative strategies A 1-day detox is the best way to start the process and what Kirby describes as a “hard reset.” What will you do during these 24 hours? You will not take part in any activities that stimulate your dopamine, such as the ones described above. You will not use your computer or your phone at all, you will not consume drugs or stimulants, you will not game, and you will just not engage in any activities that offer instant gratification. You're not punishing yourself. You're just removing the existential junk food from your life. 10:37 A 7-Day Detox Plan For a seven-day detox plan, you will pick one day per week to do a detox. It's usually better to do it during the weekend, as work might depend on your ability to answer your emails or use your phone and computer. Choose a day every week to perform a reset and disconnect from all the activities that demand your attention. It will help you stay mindful and aware of the instant gratification activities and focus on your goals and ideas. As you do it more, you might discover the type of tasks and activities that best fit your situation and your needs. 12:20 Dopamine fasting Dopamine fasting is a term that is often used interchangeably with dopamine detox. We can define dopamine fasting as the process of long-term change in dopamine-related habits, while a detox is a short-term practice. Fasting is another way to bring down the levels of dopamine in your brain and to increase your focus. Dopamine fasting is meant to be sustainable, so it's important that you choose a strategy that works for you and a timeline that is realistic. Don't try to simply cut out all dopamine sources and instead focus on problematic behaviors that are hurting you in some way. This will help you reduce dopamine levels more effectively without necessarily losing the enjoyment other, healthy activities bring you, too. #AddictiveBehaviors #ADopamineDetox #AndrewKirby #Detox #DetoxPlan #Dopamine #DopamineDetox #DopamineFasting #DopamineTolerance #DrCameronSeraph #DrSeraph #HighDopamineLevels #InstantGratification #NickTrenton #DopamineDetox #RussellNewton #NewtonMG #DopamineDetox

Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #162 with Professor of Psychiatry and Medical Director of Addiction Medicine at Stanford University, Dr. Anna Lembke.[i] Visit the episode website here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Pu82wZRZwo Watch the interview with visuals on YouTube here. Backstory and Introduction 0-13:00 minutes Interview with Dr. Lembke 13:00-49:45 Follow Dr. Lembke https://profiles.stanford.edu/anna-lembke To See Past Episodes of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast https://www.achieveit360.com/episodes/ In Today's Episode, you will learn: ✔︎ About the addictive nature of social media, as well as why people become addicted to certain behaviors and substances. ✔︎About her 30 Day Dopamine Fast: An 8 step process that she suggests to help us to reset our brains if we have had a surplus of dopamine in our brain due to over-indulgence that helps many people "kick their bad habits" to the curb. ✔︎ What is happening in the brain when we experience withdrawals when we try to stop a habit or behavior and how to overcome this uncomfortable feeling for increased happiness, mental health and awareness. ✔︎What exactly is the pleasure/pain balance and why we should all be able to recognize when we are getting too much of a good thing. ✔︎How to return to whatever it is that you enjoyed in moderation. You may have seen her in the Netflix Documentary The Social Dilemma [ii] where she discusses the addictive nature of social media, explaining that it taps into “our basic biological imperative to connect with other people—that directly affects the release of dopamine and the reward pathway” (32:35 The Social Dilemma) and she warns us that “there's no doubt that a vehicle like social media which optimizes this connection between people is going to have the potential for addiction.” Dr. Lembke is more concerned with our children and her children (who appear in the documentary with her) and on today's podcast, she will arm us with the knowledge that she shares with her own children daily. Her book Drug Dealer, MD: How Doctors Were Duped, Patients Got Hooked and Why It's So Hard to Stop[iii] (2016) is a good overview of what addiction is, and the dangers of prescription drugs. Her NEW book Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence[iv] that was just released last month, explores the exciting new scientific discoveries that explain why the relentless pursuit of pleasure leads to pain…and what to do about it. I'm Andrea Samadi, author, and educator from Toronto, Canada, now in Arizona, and like many of our listeners, have been fascinated with learning and understanding the science behind high performance strategies that we can use to improve our own productivity in our schools, our sports, and workplace environments. My vision is to bring the experts to you, share their books, resources, and ideas to help you to implement their proven strategies, whether you are a teacher working in the classroom or online, a student, or parent working in the corporate space. This week's interview with Dr. Anna Lembke on her NEW book Dopamine Nation is based on true stories of her patients falling prey to addiction and finding their way out again with stories that many of us might find to be shocking, but she explains that “they are just extreme versions of what we are all capable of.” (Dopamine Nation) When reading this book, or listening to this interview, I encourage you to think about your own life, your behaviors and what you might be running from since we are all running from something and like we have mentioned many times before on the podcast, awareness is the key to making any behavior change that can have a lasting impact on our productivity and results. My hope is that we can all take an honest look and find places where we might be leaking energy, to close those gaps, and redirect that energy towards our goals. We covered the topic of addiction at the start of this year with Aneesh Chaudhry (EPISODE 102)[v] on “Mental Health, Well-Being and Meditation: Overcoming Addiction Using Your Brain” and I first mentioned Dr. Lembke on episode #157[vi] “Overcoming Digital Addiction Using Neuroscience” after a discussion with our friends about technology use led me to Dr. Lembke. This episode was a popular one, with over 700 downloads in the first few days of release. Then when I posted that I was working on this episode, over Labor Day weekend, I had many messages from friends and colleagues who shared with me that they were very interested in this topic. I think this is something that we should all be aware of, since most of us also have not ever had any training on the topic of addiction, yet we all know someone who struggles in some way. We can also learn so much about ourselves with this information. Understanding how chemical, behavioral, and even digital addictions are formed/broken can help us all to navigate our lives, with a deeper level of awareness that can close up those gaps where we waste energy, to improve our productivity. Medical Disclaimer: Just a reminder—I would consider myself a researcher, sharing preventative and supplemental ideas and strategies related to the most current research on the brain, health and wellness education. Always seek the advice of your physician or qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have about your health and remember that you should never disregard medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you learn through this podcast. Keep in mind, Dr. Lembke recommends her 30 day dopamine fast for people with less severe addictions and anyone who is struggling with a serious drug or alcohol addiction should seek further treatment from their medical provider. Back to the episode… Dr. Lembke's book, Dopamine Nation shows us what happens when we get too much of a good thing, but we can use this understanding to counteract the effects of this neurotransmitter in our brain, bringing us back to balance, and productivity. PART I The Pursuit of Pleasure In part 1 of the book, called The Pursuit of Pleasure, Dr. Lembke gives some examples of “how we are constantly trying to distract ourselves from the present moment to be entertained” and “that we're all running from pain—we'll do almost anything to distract ourselves from ourselves” and that “we've lost the ability to tolerate even minor forms of discomfort.” When I thought about this part of the book, I couldn't agree more thinking of all the times I grab my phone to distract myself from something, anything difficult that comes my way, instead of staying in the present moment. Chapter three goes deeper into the science of brain chemistry, discussing two key features of the effects of dopamine: the brain's tendency to seek homeostasis, and the development of tolerance PART 2 Self Binding: Dr Lembke describes some encounters with her patients, and how to keep addictive behaviors under control. She covers Dopamine Fasting with an ACRONYM to help us learn how to use her 30-day Dopamine Fast to reset our brains. Dr. Lembke will explain her 30-day Dopamine Fasting Plan for people with less severe addictions, where she often sees people return to their “drug of choice” in a controlled way. 30 Day Dopamine Fast Data: what are you using, how much, how often? Objectives: what does it do for you? Problems: or downsides does it cause? Abstinence: stop using it for a month and see what happens Mindfulness: be prepared to feel worse before you feel better Insight: abstaining from our drug of choice gives us incredible insight that we cannot see without stopping. What did you learn? Next Steps: moving forward without the drug/behavior even when you miss it. Can you do that? Experiment: Go back out into the world, experiment and see what works and what doesn't. If there is something that you want to change in your life, try going without it for 30 days, and see what happens. Only you will know if this will work for you or not. Dr. Lembke noted that “even when moderation is achievable, many of her patients report it's too exhausting to continue, and they ultimately opt for abstinence in the long haul” (Dopamine Nation). PART 3 The Pursuit of Pain: Dr. Lembke explores the opposite side of the equation: seeking out things that are painful, in order for the brain to tend to increase feelings of pleasure immediately afterward in an attempt to regain homeostasis. Explains the “pain” side of addiction and the importance of finding balance, radical honesty and self-awareness because “people who lean too hard and too long on the pain side of the balance can also end up in a persistent dopamine deficit state.” (Dopamine Nation) After releasing EPISODE 157 that explained Dr. Lembke's work and her 30 day dopamine fast, I almost wanted to move on past this topic, as I say often, there are entire podcasts dedicated to addiction[vii], and they do a much better job than I ever could. But there is another reason I would rather skip it, and that's because it's a difficult topic. It's much easier to move on past it than talk about something I'm still trying to learn and understand myself, because we weren't taught this topic in school for us to know how it to handle it when it shows up in our life. I remember the extent of my education on this topic was in 9th grade, when our PE teacher said, “don't drink alcohol to cover up your problems.” I remember she appeared to be uncomfortable with the topic, but it's an important one. If you ask anyone, we all know someone who suffers with a chemical addiction (alcohol or drugs) and since this topic was never a part of our schooling, it's easy to criticize what we don't understand, let alone recognize it in our own behaviors. When I first encountered someone with an addiction, around 20 years ago, I couldn't understand why they couldn't just have one or two drinks and call it a night. Why did they have to keep going? What's going on in the addicted brain? This was years before we could type our questions into Google and get hundreds of articles to help us (like Dr. Lembke's work, or even Dr. Amen's work on the addicted brain), so I would go to our local library and find books that explained addiction to gain some understanding. I wish Dr. Lembke's first book was there, as it wasn't easy to navigate this topic. Not being the type to sweep anything under a rug, I found some ideas and solutions for this person to enter into a local rehab program[viii] to get further help, but this opened up a can of worms with a problem that was never discussed and made me really popular in that family, but this understanding gave me a new level of awareness that would help someone else years later. This awareness helped my husband with one of his best friends from high school who called one day to confide in him that he had a heroin addiction, and was entering a faith-based rehabilitation program, but wanted one of his friends to know what was really going on with him. His initial reaction would have been to say “what the heck is wrong with you? Heroin addiction? Are you an idiot? How did this happen?” but because of all that time I spent researching at the library, I explained to him how addictions happen, often beginning innocently (using pain killers after a surgery) or in his friend's case, using uppers to help him through his busy days). This explanation helped him to talk with his friend with more understanding and his friend did well in recovery, helping many others for a few years, until one day, it beat him, and he was gone. I know this is a complex topic, often resulting in death like we saw with my husband's high school friend, or we see with celebrities who have been unable to break the cycle, and the pandemic has magnified this issue for those who were stuck in their homes for all of this time, but with the understanding of our brain in mind, my hope is that this topic no longer is swept under the rug, but talked about openly to find solutions with our brain in mind. Let's meet Dr. Anna Lembke and explore her new book, Dopamine Nation, together to gain a deeper understanding for those who struggle with serious addiction, to those with less severe, and see if her 30 day Dopamine Fast could be a solution to tighten up the gaps and improve our productivity. Welcome Dr. Lembke, thank you so much for agreeing to speak with me on the podcast today. I've got to tell you that before I hit send on your email to invite you on the show as a guest, I thought twice, a bit nervous about you actually replying and saying yes because I knew I needed to talk about a topic that I have avoided going deeper into, but at this point, It was obvious that I couldn't avoid it any longer, so thank you for agreeing to speak with me so quickly, allowing me to be more authentic and open. Dr. Lembke, before we get to the questions I have on your most recent book, Dopamine Nation, I wanted to ask a question that ties into where I first saw you, in the movie The Social Dilemma (which scared the living daylights out of me) where you talk about how “social media is a drug—that directly affects the release of dopamine and the reward pathway”[ix] and you talk about how with all of your knowledge and experience, you are still worried about your own kids and their time spent using these apps. I know your kids are a bit older now since that film was released, but what did you tell your kids DAILY about how our brains respond to certain apps on our cell phones? NOTE: This question sums up everything I want to ask you in this interview, and that at the end, we can come back to your answer here, and I know it will sum everything up perfectly. I launched this podcast helping educators and those in the workplace to understand how to apply the most current neuroscience research into the classroom and workplace because it's so important, and many of us need this information, but it wasn't taught to us in school. Either was the topic of addiction, and this is why I thought it was so important to reach out to you, because your first book on this topic, Drug Dealer MD: How Doctors Were Duped, Patients Got Hooked, and Why It's So Hard to Stop (2016)[x] explains what is addiction and who is at risk, Dopamine Nation goes beyond chemical addiction (drugs and alcohol) to understanding the Social Dilemma you spoke about in the Netflix movie and beyond that with how our brains respond to anything we do to escape “even minor forms of discomfort.” Q1: So diving into your book, Dopamine Nation, I thought I'd seen it all, but I'm sure there's a lot you see in your practice that shows to what extent we distract ourselves from whatever it is that's painful in our present moment. You give some good examples that drill down this point, and I thought about how often I use my phone to distract me from difficult times in life (From serious life challenges to minor things). I know we can all think of what we do to escape from life, but can you explain why not being In the present moment and dealing with life's challenges as they come up (whether we are using our phones as an escape/drugs/alcohol, romance novels, binge watching Netflix, whatever it is we do) only make our challenges worse? Q2: I think I've got an understanding of what happens to our brain when we are in a dopamine deficit. Would it be accurate to say this is what happens when we cut something out that we liked, and experience withdrawals? 2B) What happens to our brain when we overindulge? I had never heard of the idea that you mention in the article one of my friends put on the windshield of my car[xi] about how too much pleasure (with our phones, or video games or whatever it is) can tips us towards feeling pain. I'm not sure I have ever felt this, or I'm not aware of it. What is the pleasure /pain balance and how do we know we have had too much of a good thing? Q3: But you say there's good news, and that our brains can reset if we do what you call a dopamine fast (30 days away from whatever we were doing) and our brains can go back to balance or baseline. With the young man who was playing video games, he went back to doing what he enjoyed by modifying his behavior and making sure he kept his work and gaming separate. You talk about after the 30 days, that you experiment and see what works and what doesn't. I know an alcoholic can't after a month of abstinence go back to “controlled” drinking (as much as they would like to). How does the dopamine fast work and is there something we should watch out for to make sure our brains don't get flooded with dopamine again? Dopamine is not the only neurotransmitter involved in reward processing, but most neuroscientists agree it is among the most important. Dopamine may play a bigger role in the motivation to get a reward than the pleasure of the reward itself. Wanting more than liking. The more dopamine a drug releases in the brain's reward pathway (a brain circuit that links the ventral tegmental area, the nucleus accumbens, and the prefrontal cortex), and the faster it releases dopamine, the more addictive the drug. Q4: When I saw your rewards and dopamine chart that show how much dopamine is released with chocolate vs sex vs drugs, and you say that learning “also increases dopamine firing in the brain.” Where would learning or other healthy habits fit on your rewards/dopamine release chart? How can we be sure we are not being “indulgent” with healthier habits like learning/exercise? In your article[xii], the young man who played video games was able to go back to playing video games with a modified schedule. Then I read about how the brain changes with high dopamine rewards. (Experience dependent plasticity). Does this mean that high reward behaviors you can't limit, and you can never go back to them? Don't we eventually experience tolerance with all behaviors, and over time would find them boring anyway? (Your example reading your novels they were never as exciting as the first read, or when we rewatch a Netflix series we loved, it's never as good as the first time). Where does tolerance fit into the equation? Experience Dependent Plasticity The brain encodes long-term memories of reward and their associated cues by changing the shape and size of dopamine-producing neurons. For example, the dendrites, the branches off the neuron, become longer and more numerous in response to high-dopamine rewards. This process is called experience-dependent plasticity. These brain changes can last a lifetime and persist long after the drug is no longer available PART II Self-Binding chapter four: Dopamine Fasting chapter five: Space, Time, and Meaning chapter six: A Broken Balance? Q5: Can you explain your ACRONYM for DOPAMINE and what happens to our brain when we take a month off of using our drug of choice? Dr Huberman[xiii] said it really well in his recent interview with you, the first 10 days suck. Why does this dopamine deficit feel so bad? “A week would be good, but in my experience, a month is usually the minimum amount of time it takes to reset the brain's reward pathway. If you don't feel better after four weeks of abstaining, that's also useful data. That means the cannabis isn't driving this, and we need to think about what else is. So what do you think? Do you think you would be able and willing to stop cannabis for a month?” Younger people recalibrate faster than older people, their brains being more plastic. Furthermore, physical withdrawal varies drug to drug. It can be minor for some drugs like video games but potentially life-threatening for others, like alcohol and benzodiazepines. Mindfulness practices are especially important in the early days of abstinence. Many of us use high-dopamine substances and behaviors to distract ourselves from our own thoughts. When we first stop using dopamine to escape, those painful thoughts, emotions, and sensations come crashing down on us. Q5B) Why does tolerance occur? Dr. Lembke, I could spend the next week asking you more questions, but know I've got to wrap up this interview. Q6: To close out our questions, I wanted to give something for our listeners to be able to apply on this topic. I know that you openly talk about something you stopped doing in the book that you enjoyed, and I was on the tail end of letting go of a habit that I loved when someone put the article on my car about your 30 day dopamine fast, showing me how important it was to understanding this at the brain level. Going back to the first question I asked you, “what do you tell your kids daily about dopamine/the pleasure/pain balance and dopamine deficit and the risk of addiction” what should we all know dopamine, and breaking free of its hold over us? Q7: Final thoughts? What should we all know about Dopamine Nation? Thank you very much for your time today. I will put the links to Dopamine Nation in the show notes, and for anyone who wants to reach you, is the best way through your Stanford website? Thank you Dr. Lembke. BIO: PROFESSOR OF PSYCHIATRY AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES (GENERAL PSYCHIATRY AND PSYCHOLOGY-ADULT) Dr. Anna Lembke received her undergraduate degree in Humanities from Yale University and her medical degree from Stanford University. She is currently Professor and Medical Director of Addiction Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine. She is also Program Director of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Fellowship, and Chief of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic. She is a diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, and a diplomate of the American Board of Addiction Medicine. Dr. Lembke was one of the first in the medical community to sound the alarm regarding opioid overprescribing and the opioid epidemic. In 2016, she published her best-selling book on the prescription drug epidemic, "Drug Dealer, MD – How Doctors Were Duped, Patients Got Hooked, and Why It's So Hard to Stop" (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2016). Her book was highlighted in the New York Times as one of the top five books to read to understand the opioid epidemic (Zuger, 2018). "Drug Dealer, MD" combines case studies with public policy, cultural anthropology, and neuroscience, to explore the complex relationship between doctors and patients around prescribing controlled drugs. It has had an impact on policy makers and legislators across the nation. Dr. Lembke has testified before Congress and consulted with governors and senators from Kentucky to Missouri to Nevada. She was a featured guest on Fresh Air with Terry Gross, MSNBC with Chris Hayes, and numerous other media broadcasts. Using her public platform and her faculty position at Stanford University School of Medicine, Dr. Lembke has developed multiple teaching programs on addiction and safe prescribing, as well as opioid tapering. She has held multiple leadership and mentorship positions and received the Stanford's Chairman's Award for Clinical Innovation, and the Stanford Departmental Award for Outstanding Teaching. Dr. Lembke continues to educate policymakers and the public about causes of and solutions for the problem of addiction. Look for her new book, "Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence" (Dutton/Penguin Random House, August 2021). FOLLOW DR.

The relentless pursuit of pleasure always leads to pain.As the world evolves from one of scarcity to overabundance, we increasingly orient our lives around the pursuit of pleasure and avoidance of pain—an instinct that has produced a myriad of unprecedented types of addiction, and consequently, the pain we so desperately seek to avoid.To better understand this conundrum, I'm joined today by one of the world's leading authorities on the neuroscience of addiction, Anna Lembke, MD.If that name sounds familiar, it's likely due to her on screen presence in the Netflix documentary The Social Dilemma—a must-watch for anyone with a smartphone.Anna is a professor of psychiatry at Stanford University School of Medicine and chief of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic. She is widely published, has testified before Congress, and has authored two important books, Drug Dealer MD and her newest work, Dopamine Nation—a powerful primer on compulsive overconsumption in a world where feeling good has become confused with the highest good.This is an important and impactful conversation that explores:The nature, psychology, and neuroscience of addiction;the explosion in addiction in lockstep with technological advances;the opioid crisis & the fascinating history behind how we think about and treat pain;recovery protocols from 12-step & the latest science on psychedelic treatments; andhow to manage & avoid addiction.To read more click here.

Here we talk about the original concept of Dopamine Fasting and the biggest yet dangerous mistake or the misconception of Dopamine Fasting.

Dopamine Fasting is a 'thing' these days. But what is it? And is it even healthy? Not surprisingly, dopamine fasting is itself what it's trying to eliminate. Dopamine is a chemical in all of us that is part of the action/reward cycle. It's necessary for life, and what big companies use to control and steer our actions. Ironically, this fad to eliminate dopamine plays on the very control mechanisms that it professes are evil.Let's take a real look at dopamine, how the action/reward cycle works, and how you can regain control to have a healthier and happier life.At some point, we're all going to get to that point where we say “How the hell did I get to be this age?”.

There is so much in store for all of us, from renewed relationships, to travel and adventure, to life changes, and even to exploring the differences between the sexes as we move into our better years.

How Global Laws Try to Contain Coronavirus (0:30)Guest: Eric Jensen, JD, Professor of International Law, Brigham Young UniversityCOVID-19. That's the official name the World Health Organization announced for the disease caused by the new coronavirus that has spread to 24 countries and killed more than a thousand people. The vast majority of infections and deaths have been in China, where the outbreak remains a serious emergency. Other countries have shutdown travel from China and quaranted travelers from the country. Let's take a look at the laws in place to manage a global health emergency like this. The Carrot Is Mightier Than the Stick (19:15)Guest: Paul Caldarella, Professor of Counseling Psychology and Special Education, Brigham Young University.There's a guideline for teachers that their praise for students should outnumber reprimands at least 3-to-1. It's a nice idea, but really hard to pull off when you're wrangling 30 third-graders in a classroom all day. The other thing is that there's really not been much research to back up the 3:1 ratio. Why Is a Chilean Dog the Face of NYC Subway Protests? (34:51)Guest: Alexandra Isfahani-Hammond, Professor Emerita of Comparative Literature, University of California San DiegoIf you ride the subway in New York City, you may find a stray sticker of a black dog with a red bandana left over from protests in November. The dog's name is Negro Matapacos, and he was face of the movement protesting excessive police force in subway stations. But he's not from around here – the black dog is Chilean. So how did drawings of him end up plastered in the New York City subway? Dopamine Fasting, Explained (50:39)Guest: Cameron Sepah, PhD, Assistant Clinical Professor, University of California San Francisco Medical SchoolIntermittent fasting is the dieting trend du jour. And now there's dopamine fasting, where people abstain from things that bring pleasure – including food, social interaction and the internet. The idea is to recalibrate reward pathways in the brain that have grown out of whack from constant stimulation. But the Silicon Valley psychologist who helped popularize dopamine fasting says it's gone too far. Creating a Sustainable Food Future for the World's Growing Population (1:09:36)Guest: Richard Waite Is an Associate With the World Resources Institute and Author of the World Resources Report: Creating a Sustainable Food Future.In another 20 or so years, the planet will have an estimated two billion more mouths to feed. And so, we'll just grow more crops, right? But the catch is that farming more land means clearing that land of forest or grassland to make room for crops. Globally, we've already cleared an area roughly the size of South America to grow food. For raising livestock, we've taken over an area roughly the size of Africa. And we're running out of water to keep up with all that agricultural demand. So how do we feed a growing population without ruining the planet? Primarily by changing what we eat and getting more out of the fields we're already farming. What Are the Health Risks of 5G? (1:26:22)Guest: Christopher Collins, PhD, Professor of Radiology at New York University. A federal judge this week ruled that Sprint and T-Mobile can go ahead with their merger. It won't hurt customers in terms of prices or products, the judge says. But there are people out there – a lot of people around the world – who are more worried about the physical harm cell phones may do to use when they're connected to super-fast wireless 5G networks. (Getting up to that speed is a big reason Sprint and T-Mobile want to merge.) 5G uses higher-frequency electromagnetic waves. What will all that radiation mean for our brains and bodies?

Have you heard of dopamine fasting? It's the trendy idea that if you restrict your enjoyable activities, like drinking, gaming, checking social media, sex, or eating cookies for a day or two, that it will reset the neurochemical makeup in your brain. But is there any truth to this? Is this practice helpful? Is it harmful? In today's episode, Dr. John Grohol, Psych Central founder and editor-in-chief explains the real science behind dopamine and whether this practice has any effect on it.
This week Claire Kroulik-Klingenberg joins Jelena and Pontus for the 199th episode – we're into our fifth year, folks! In This week in Skepticism, Jelena tells the story of how a young pre-Sherlock-Holmes Arthur Conan Doyle fictionalized the real story of a ghost ship, creating a modern legend. Pontus Pokes the Pope and goes through some of the main on-going abuse scandals, while Francis himself celebrate with lasagne. In the news we learn about good news for Skeptic Pepijn van Erp, we also hear that institutionalized sex abuse happens also in the Church of England and that an American church causes two deaths in Latvia. The Good Thinking Society scores two wins this week, both regarding ear candling and homeopathy and we again establish that the Swedish Free School system very often is a front for religious indoctrination. Measles may be on the decline in Europe, but is continuing to create disasters with thousands of deaths in the Democratic Republic of Congo and a state of emergency declared in Samoa, where 1.5% of the total population has been infected, a number that is rising exponentially (as we release this it is more like 2%). A recent Swedish court case renews the discussions about assisted deaths. Despite some serious topics in this episode we finish off with a bit lighter Really Wrong Award that we hand out to Dr Cameron Sepah, who for some reason believes we all need to make our lives more boring. It's called Dopamine Fasting. Enjoy!
