Ever wonder why you can't stop scrolling, even when you know you should? It probably comes down to dopamine, a key neurotransmitter that drives pleasure and motivation. In this episode, host Cristina Quinn talks to psychiatrist Anna Lembke, author of “Dopamine Nation,” about the neuroscience behind digital addiction.Anna explains how our devices keep us hooked by triggering dopamine surges — and why, over time, this actually leaves us feeling worse. She breaks down the “plenty paradox,” the idea that having unlimited access to pleasure might be making us more anxious and less happy.But the good news? We can reset our dopamine levels and regain control of our attention. This episode lays the groundwork for understanding the science behind our tech habits — so we can start making intentional changes.Subscribe to The Washington Post or connect your subscription in Apple Podcasts.

Final Monday show of winter! We pick through some of the top stories of the weekend, which includes President Trump getting attacked by a boom-mic operator; a silly Frenchman asking for the return of the Statue of Liberty; and a provocative move to reverse all action by Biden that were authorized by signature stamp instead of by hand. In the second half I'm throwing in some testimony from a school teacher who claims that social media use has lead to a largely undiagnosed dopamine addiction problem with school children...and the people who raise them.

Isabelle and David continue to talk with David's brother's friend, Aaron, and dig deep into why winding down and going to sleep is the hardest transition of all: because you're staring into a black hole of no dopamine for hours! And also, a lot of traditional sleep hygiene tricks may not work. Folks with ADHD have higher rates of sleep apnea, among other sleep disorders, and also, can do with staying away from preferred activities before bed. This, sleep tips and tricks, and recognizing the value of being open about your neurodivergence...as well as some really good callbacks to the previous two episodes (096 and 097) regarding "St. Elmo's Fire's" amazing theme song.—-Isabelle and Aaron wonder: what's with this PDA business (persistent drive for autonomy/persistent demand avoidance)? David explains: It's hard for us to connect a learned moment with an experience, it's hard for us to take a moment we're learning now and take it into the future, and we're distractable. If we're in a place with any shame, guilt, or anxiety, distraction becomes highly reinforcing. We are highly reinforced by not paying attention to what we want to pay attention to it. We're not seeing the long term consequence, we don't understand what we're doing to our future by not doing it in this moment--delay of gratification and response cost. Like, what did you do today? “I watched three seasons of Scrubs and ate a buffet of Indian food.” We can't claim any wins at the end of the day, but in the moment it felt so nice, it was a distraction. Neurologically we don't get a success, norepinephrine —you feel anxious, and it leads into their evening, and for kids and adults, if you're really anxious about the next day, you don't want to go to sleep. “The longer I'm up today, the longer today is! I don't have to face tomorrow if I haven't gone to bed yet.” David has been thinking about this with his friend and colleague Noah, based on this book, Dopamine Nation. If we're not accommodated or assisted by something during a transition, and then you have nothing else to do, you are looking down a long dark hole of no dopamine—that's why the evening can look so hard. The road to sleep to extra awful, you have to sit still, you have to tolerate frustration and still yourself enough to go to sleep. David names: we are considered overtired if it takes less than 15 minutes to fall alseep—most ADHD folks, as an accommodation to not sit in the discomfort of staying still with no dopamine, don't hit the bed until they are beyond exhausted and just crash. Isabelle and Aaron disbelieve this. Isabelle does not compute that this is how people live, that people just lay there for 8, 10, 15 minutes and slowly go to sleep, this has never happened to her. Aaron gets anxious that he won't fall asleep in 5 minutes and then can't stand the guided meditation.  David will be snoring watching tv on the couch with his partner but doesn't confirm he is “tired." with Delayed sleep phase onset, this is a thing we struggle with. Accommodations for sleep? Did you use enough physical energy during the day? You can't go into a preferred activity before bed—you have to find weird shows or things that are interesting but not so interesting it will keep you awake. What is a preferred activity? If you're super into a video game, for example—if you can't sleep, don't play the video game. The things that you prefer and wake you up, engage your hyperfocus. What's the boring video game that's like paint by numbers? Isabelle will read nonfiction when she's not feeling very tired, but if she reads compelling fiction she will stay awake. Because, who wants to sit in boredom? These are tips that are not sleep hygiene or what you'd expect. So many tactics to help a kid fall asleep are there to help them get bored enough to stay still and not reach for a preferred activity. The most important task in the brain's development is boredom: One of the most important things is to experience boredom. It's really important and yet we run from it all the time. A neurotypicaly person needs to encounter a certain amount of boredom to get creative. But with ADHD, we are bored a 1000's of times more often in a day than a neurotypical does in a day, and the feeling of being bored is so caustic and our brain is so creative and thinking of fun things all the time. But because we encounter so many micromoments of boredom, it makes it really hard to tolerate the 10 or 15 minutes to fall asleep. Or try something on in the store. The moment of a transition that's boredom and hurts. When do we want to sit with it, when do you want to avoid it? David tries to stop listening to a D&D podcast he wants to, he's trying to train himself to be awake still and do it at a time and then fall asleep, instead of falling asleep when he crashes. AND there are literal sleep disturbances. People with ADHD have a much higher likelihood of getting a CPAP machine and sleep apnea, cause our physical necks are bigger (what?!). We have to think of social conventions made to busy people as problematic: are you folding your underwear because you're worried about them wrinkling? So many clothes are not wrinkling! Clean your clothes, but don't think you're failing at life if you're not folding laundry. Aaron requests more on sleep, and refers to an older episode by name "I'm not tired, you're tired!” David wonders: what would a Aaron tell his younger self if he had a 20 second time machine. He'd like to tell himself: “be brave, it's hard, it gets better. And look into ADHD earlier." The whole sequence of anxiety he's had to deal with has been altered by knowing about ADHD and being medicated. It's not just the medicine, it's finally having a reason for how his interior life is the way he is. If there's no reason, it's just your fault—why is Aaron a slob in his private places? It's not a character defect. But some people with ADHD are clean and tidy! Isabelle is one of these people—she just got a label maker and has been labeling her cabinets and pantry with things but then putting exclamation points at the end, so it says things like “BEANS!” “PASTA!” Referring back to Ep097, David names that Isabelle is a promoter: of pantry staples. But for Isabelle, she doesn't mind if others are making messes, she just needs things to be in order because otherwise they will move on her, it's a way to accommodate her working memory and find things again later. There isn't a right way to fit into this culture,. There's parts of ADHD culture—and theory of group dynamics, that says that people within a group have more things different between each other than they do with those outside of the group: ADHD is no different. Like medically: with depression, you can sleep not at all, or sleep a lot: these are opposite things and yet they all fall under the same diagnosis. Some things we can all relate to, like the way that we are hurt by our own integrity (not doing what we wanted or said we would do), our celebration and glee at remembering to do or finally doing the boring thing! Recognizing you have ADHD is a bit like parts of you being seen before, and suddenly all these associated pains --you don't know why you can't do what you want to do, and it has be to you. Aaron ties that back to his calvinist upbringing: “I wanted to do this, why did I forget?" It's the internal monologue we have to chance. There are parts of us that in a wheelchair and we keep coming at stairs. Isabelle references “I wanna to be a man in motion? All I need is this pair of wheels. Take me where the eagle's fly: St. Elmo's Fire."  ...

This week we're celebrating our 250th podcast by taking you through our top 10 podcasts. The episodes that have had the most downloads since we started the podcast back in 2020. So coming in at number 10 with 2,500 downloads is Sobriety Coach Lori Massicot. Lori is the host of a podcast called 50 and Beyond and like me she's convinced that ditching the booze is one of the very best things we can do for ourselves as we get older. Her episode is called Why We Need to Ditch the Drink in Midlife, and we released that one in December 2021. Here's a clip. I did a second episode with Laurie when we listed the 15 signs that you need to take a break from the booze. Signs that Laurie and I ignored for far too long. That one was released on January the 27th 2024 Coming in at number 9 is Dr. Loretta Breuning, who helped me to unpack the cause of my own early sobriety blues. Have a listen to the first interview I did with her, which was in August 2021. Here's a clip Loretta also did an interview with me very recently to talk about her new book, which is called Why You're Unhappy – that one was released on 20th January last year Since we last ranked our top ten which was in February last year we've had 2 new entries One of those entries has come in at number 8 with 2756 downloads its called:- Alcohol and your Body Fat with James Swanwick James had some great advice around Alcohol's Effects on Sleep and Weightgain He explained how Alcohol consumption can compromise sleep quality, metabolism, and overall health.  It can also disrupt the body's natural processes, leading to weight gain, reduced productivity, and increased cravings for unhealthy foods. Heres a clip Our other new entry along with James came in at number 7 with 2800 downloads and is called RECOVERY IT'S A BRAIN THING – which is the name of the book by my two guests – David & Susan Kenney They run a program to train Recovery Coaches and one of our Tribe members Darren was so impressed by their approach he signed up for their course. Darren is now a qualified Recovery Coach so if you'd like to book in for a free consultation you can go to his website which is pauserecovery.com – Coming in at number 6 is Stanford Psychiatrist Dr Anna Lembke with 2851 listens Anna has written a top selling book called Dopamine Nation. It's an awesome book, which I highly recommend if you're interested in the science of addiction. Her explanation of the pain pleasure balance is superb. That episode is called, Why We Get Addicted, and it came out in November, 2023. Here's a clip. At number 5 we have Neuroscientist Staci Danford with 2890 downloads Stacy taught us about our lizard brain and how we need to manage it before it manages us. She even recommended that we give it a name. She calls hers Ernie. My interview with Stacy came out in August 2021. Here's a clip Next up at number 4 is a firm favourite with Tribe Sober – Ken Middleton who had 2,906 downloads for his “How Drinking Limits our Potential” episode He's the author of Bamboozled, which has the clever subtitle of How Alcohol Makes Fools of Us All,  Do grab a copy if you haven't yet read it. Such a brilliant description of how we've been manipulated by big alcohol for decades. I often quote Ken, who says, "even if alcohol doesn't destroy us, it will limit our potential".  His Tribe Sober episode is called How Alcohol Limits Your Potential - released in April 2023 here is a clip. Ken was also one of our guests back in November 2020 when he shared his own story and explained the science behind alcohol dependence. And why drinking regularly for 20 years means you're very likely to develop a problem Next up at number 3 is me, with our very first podcast episode, which was released in May 2020 to celebrate my fifth soberversary. – that got 3,135 downloads At number 2 we have the brilliant William Porter with 3,675 downloads William is a lawyer with a passion for the science behind alcohol dependence, and he's written two books, Alcohol Explained and Alcohol Explained 2. They're both essential reading, and I think the more we understand the damage that alcohol does to our bodies and brains, the less likely we are to want to drink it. His episode is called, Managing Cravings, and came out in December 2023. Here's a clip Finally, hogging the number one slot with an incredible 3, 877 downloads is Australian sobriety coach, Catherine Elliott. It's called "How to Stop Binge Drinking" and came out in June 2022. Here's a clip Like me, Catherine's had breast cancer, which prompted us to do an episode together recently. Because neither of us had realized that our heavy drinking was putting us at risk of breast cancer, so we celebrated Breast Cancer Awareness Month by having a conversation about it, spreading the word to other women that more than three glasses of wine a week increases your risk of breast cancer. We called it "Drink Less for Your Breasts" and it was released in October 2023. So that's our top 10. I'd like to say a big thank you to all our listeners.

Dr. Anna Lembke is a Stanford Professor and Medical Director of Addiction Medicine at Stanford University's School of Medicine. Her latest book, Dopamine Nation, is a New York Times bestseller and has been translated into 30 languages. It examines the effects of being surrounded by abundant sources of instant gratification, such as food, social media, gaming, pornography, and drugs. Anna combines the neuroscience of addiction with the wisdom of recovery to explore the problem of compulsive overconsumption in a dopamine-overloaded world. In this episode we discuss the following: Anna learned from her patients in addiction recovery that if they wanted to maintain their recovery, they couldn't tell a single lie. One of the reasons lying hurts ourselves and others is because it denies us access to reality, which of course makes it more difficult to deal with reality. Radical honesty applies to more aspects of life than we may realize. For example, Anna is able to reduce her anxiety before interviews by being radically honest with herself and remembering that she doesn't have to be all things to all people, she doesn't have to be anything more than she already is.   Connect on Social Media: X: https://twitter.com/nate_meikle LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natemeikle/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nate_meikle/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@nate.meikle

During our January technology fast, I've been diving into some books that are shifting how I think about life beyond screens. Today, I want to share four powerful reads that are helping me envision what I want my days to look like instead of defaulting to technology. Here are the books that are transforming my perspective: The Opt-Out Family by Aon Lochner - Through a series of essays, she shows how one family helped their children observe and understand technology's impact Dopamine Nation by Anna Lembke - Understanding the science of pleasure and pain in our high-dopamine world For the Family's Sake by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay - A beautiful perspective on creating home and family culture (written before smartphones took over) Habits of a Sacred Home by Jennifer Pitts - Using historical examples to help us think about living out our values Whether you're in the middle of your own tech fast, thinking about starting one, or just wanting to be more intentional with your technology use, these books offer both inspiration and practical steps for creating the family culture you want. Remember, a 30-day technology fast isn't just about taking a break - it's about resetting habits and creating new desires. Sometimes things just naturally fall away after that break. Other times, we develop new pleasures, like enjoying bedtime without our phones. Either way, the results are remarkable! Want help starting your own tech fast? You can find the workbook at thrivinginmotherhoodpodcast.com/techfast. Need help creating a vision for your life in 2025? Check out the Create Your Vision Mini Course HERE.

Is alcohol really a reward for a hard days work? In episode 183 of The Alcohol Rethink Podcast, Patrick challenges the idea that alcohol is a reward. He explores how society and our own minds trick us into believing that alcohol is the answer to life's challenges, celebrations, and everything in between. Using insights from Dr. Anna Lembke's Dopamine Nation, Patrick explains the science behind dopamine, why alcohol feels rewarding in the moment, and how it actually robs us of true satisfaction in the long run. Patrick explores the roots of our desire for rewards, often shaped by childhood experiences, and shows how these patterns influence our adult behaviours. He shares practical ways to reframe common thoughts like “I deserve a drink” and provides healthier, more meaningful alternatives that align with your values and goals. If you're ready to uncover the real rewards of living alcohol-free, this episode is packed with insights and strategies to help you create lasting change. Awesome takeaways from this episode: Understand how alcohol manipulates your brain's dopamine system and creates a false sense of reward. Recognise how societal conditioning and childhood experiences shape the belief that alcohol is a treat.

While the term “addiction” is generally associated with the misuse of drugs or alcohol, there is a wide range of substances or behaviors that have the potential to become addictive – including those that are generally considered positive, such as work or exercise. To prevent or heal from addiction of any kind and maintain a balanced relationship with the things you enjoy, it may be helpful to understand the neuroscience behind why we get addicted. Clinician and scholar Anna Lembke, our guest in Episode 223 of The Mindset Game® podcast, is a professor of psychiatry at the Stanford University School of Medicine and the Chief of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic. She has published over 100 peer-reviewed papers, book chapters, and commentaries and is the author of books including “Drug Dealer, MD: How Doctors Were Duped, Patients Got Hooked, and Why It's So Hard to Stop” and “Dopamine Nation.” Anna sits on the board of several state and national addiction-focused organizations, has testified before various committees in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate, and maintains an active speaking calendar. In this week's episode, Anna shares the following: Why the overwhelming abundance of our modern world may leave us more prone to addiction, as well as other factors that may drive addictive tendencies, including genetics, psychiatric disorders, and the desire for control An in-depth explanation of the science behind addiction, how it differs from a healthy passion or hobby, and why addiction to anything is harmful Practical strategies for avoiding addiction triggers and either reducing or eliminating use of a substance or behavior you may be addicted to, as well as tips for supporting others in your life who may be struggling To learn more, visit https://www.annalembke.com or look for Anna's books on Amazon.

What do kink, dopamine and addiction reveal about the human experience? In this fascinating conversation, Dr. Anna Lembke, Stanford Psychiatry Professor and author of Dopamine Nation, unravels the secrets of addiction and the delicate balance between pleasure and pain. We explore topics such as the neuroscience of kink, the psychology of addictive personalities, and how contemporary issues have reshaped our culture. With thought-provoking insights, Dr. Lembke examines the hidden forces driving our behaviours - from the "drugification" of modern life to the surprising connections between shame, spirituality, and recovery. We delve into the psychology of craving, the lessons addicts can teach us about resilience, and practical steps anyone can take to avoid falling into dopamine traps. This episode might challenge some of your conventional thinking (hello pain) while offering grounded, science-based advice for living a more balanced and intentional life - to make sure you get a bit of aftercare to ease the journey.

Everyone understands that getting enough sleep is important. But how important? This episode begins by revealing the benefits of getting just a mere 15 minutes more of sleep per night. https://conservancy.umn.edu/handle/11299/162769 We live in a world today where there is more abundance and more available pleasure than at any other time in history. You would think all this pleasure would make us happy. But could too much pleasure be causing a lot of people to be miserable? What if our brains aren't wired to handle our wonderfully pleasurable life? That is what Anna Lembke is here to discuss. She is a psychiatrist and medical director of the Stanford Addiction Medicine and author of the bestselling book Dopamine Nation (https://amzn.to/3BahOhY). Listen as she explains how humans are not designed to have unending pleasure whether it's technology or food or anything else. She has some interesting thoughts about why this is such a problem and how we can best deal with the downside of too much pleasure and not enough struggle.

Episode 504 – A Dopamine Feast   Today we have Don. He is 44 and lives in Clarkson, MI. He took his last drink on November 15th, 2021.   Sponsors mentioned in this episode:   Better Help  - code ELEVATOR     The theme for this podcast is I am Here, I am Whole. What does that mean? It means, that in this moment, the only moment that has ever mattered or ever existed, I choose to be here, and I will view myself as whole.   Please don't kick the can of wholeness, authenticity and self-love down the road. It has to be now.   [04:22] Thoughts from Paul:   Paul shares that he really enjoyed the book Dopamine Nation by Dr. Anna Lembke, minus one part of it that talks about a dopamine fast as a way to beat an addiction.   A recent NYT article summarizes why Paul doesn't like the dopamine fast idea. It has to do with the quote that “it's less about quitting drinking, and more about creating a life that doesn't require alcohol”. There are many healthier ways to release dopamine, such as hobbies you enjoy, that don't involve your drug of choice. Trying new things helps us release dopamine as well.   The last paragraph of the article says “consequently, America's problem isn't that we're a bunch of hedonists hooked on capitalism's dopamine hits, it's that so many of us aren't able to get our social, physical and emotional needs met in healthy ways. Instead of a dopamine fast, we need a dopamine feast - one that makes us want experiences we actually like, rather than compulsively responding to craving”.   [08:36] Paul introduces Don:   Don is an anesthesiologist, and he lives in Clarkston, MI. He started enjoying traveling since his mid-30s and has been to 30 countries, five continents and heading to Antarctica at the end of the year. Don is a big fan of sports and roots for the teams out of Detroit.   Alcohol always seemed to have a positive light around it when Don was younger. Whether it was a gathering or party the adults seemed more relaxed, happy and silly. It always seemed like something to look forward to when he got older. Being more of a goody-two-shoes, Don says, he didn't try alcohol until the summer after school ended. He recalls feeling like he was comfortable in his own skin and his racing thoughts relaxed. Don says he was immediately someone that couldn't stop drinking once he started.   Don says his 20s were spent in school and would drink heavily maybe once a month. In his 30s after graduating and feeling he achieved all of his goals, he wondered “what's next?” Don says that alcohol didn't answer the question, but it prevented him from having to answer it. Don says that he realized he was gay as a young man and never wanted to deal with it. Drinking helped him push that away too.   COVID sped up the inevitable, Don says. Having more time off work due to less surgeries being performed; Don would start drinking more on his off days. Once work became busy again, he's drinking continued where it was and started affecting his work. When Don arrived at work still drunk after a Labor Day weekend binge, he says receiving a call from his boss was relief.   When Don started rehab, he knew he was going to need to address being gay in addition to having a drinking problem. After completing rehab, Don began attending a program for health professionals that gives him the accountability he needed.   Don says AA is a big part of his life now. He says he enjoys the community and accountability. He is testing out dating to see if it's something that he wants to do. After falling in love with Costa Rica, he decided to build a house there. The greatest gift Don says he was given in sobriety is the ability to be present.   Don's parting piece of guidance: Just start. You've got to start somewhere and if that's rehab, than so be it. Take a break from your job, people will be much more supportive than you think they will.   Recovery Elevator You took the elevator down, got to take the stairs back up.

Sometimes we talk with each other in a way to figure things out. Today, we dive into staying in the game, being in the moment, and living a life of experiences. We talk about letting outcomes ruin great journeys. We look at moving through things that give us fear. We get into shifting perspective on races that didn't quite go our way. We look at how being in person is so much different than an experience on a screen. It's so easy to fall into a comfort trap and it rarely gives us satisfaction. What will you regret if you don't try it? It's easy to think about a vacation or a big race all the time, but don't miss what's happening right now.

This is an experiment in progress, but I do have a hunch that this is the way forward. Today, I talk about my idea about building an intentional audience and about what it means to be an intentional content creator. We live in an era of increasingly competent AI generated content. Soon, it will be possible for anyone to create virtually unlimited, generic, AI content in any medium. What does this mean for the future of content creators. And maybe more importantly: what does it mean for the future of content consumption?

In this conversation, Emma and I dig into what's keeping us “bound”, overwhelmed, and feeling not-enough. We touch on the types of happiness (Emma's been researching happiness for 20 years) and why a contemplative practice is the foundation of having a more life-affirming relationship with yourself. You'll hear about how people get “committed to burnout,” and how to break out of what Emma calls the “Matrix” that's keeping you stuck and exhausted. There's also a cameo from Dr Anna Lembke, best-selling author of Dopamine Nation, and Stanford professor. Emma and I get into the programs that are running our behaviours and thoughts – including one scenario where a salesperson insulted me, and I opened my wallet, fully aware of what I was doing (and I did it anyway!). Emma, why do we do this? Emma's practical, evidence-based suggestions give you a path back to freedom, energy and your power.  Links Emma Seppälä's website (and books) Emma on Instagram Mandy on Instagram Sky breathing technique Anna Lembke's book, Dopamine Nation  

In this episode, Stephen shares his experiences with ADHD medications, specifically Ritalin and Vivance. He discusses the challenges he faced with Ritalin, including afternoon crashes and the need to avoid caffeine. He then explores the concept of dopamine and its impact on neurodiverse individuals, highlighting the tendency to seek external sources of dopamine. Stephen also mentions the book 'Dopamine Nation' and its insights into the dopamine economy of modern society. He concludes by discussing the importance of proper nutrition and finding balance while on ADHD medications. Takeaways Different ADHD medications have different effects and side effects, and it's important to find the right one for each individual. The impact of dopamine on neurodiverse individuals can lead to a tendency to seek external sources of dopamine, such as addictive behaviors. Modern society is heavily driven by a dopamine economy, with short, sharp dopamine hits being sought after. Proper nutrition and finding balance are important factors to consider when taking ADHD medications.

This episode focuses on dopamine, a critical neuromodulator in our brain that plays a significant role in motivation and reward systems.Key Points Discussed:Understanding Dopamine: Dopamine is released during activities, not just upon achievement but also in anticipation, driving goal pursuit and motivation.Role of the Prefrontal Cortex: The prefrontal cortex, involved in setting contexts and pursuing ambitions, connects closely with the dopamine system to steer actions.Reward Prediction Error: Dopamine levels rise when approaching goals and drop if missed, helping to combat procrastination and boost motivation.Cues and Motivation: Signals of progress spike dopamine levels, and enjoyable activities with rewards further enhance motivation.Impact of Substances: Mixing enjoyable activities with substances like caffeine can amplify experiences but may cause energy crashes, so moderation is key.Dopamine Dynamics: Baseline dopamine levels drive motivation, with environmental cues causing peaks and drops that create a loop of desire and pursuit, so avoiding extremes, especially drugs like cocaine, is crucial to prevent addiction.Actionable Tips: Engaging in daily activities like early cold exposure and using supplements like L-tyrosine (cautiously with stimulants) can sustain motivation.Overcoming Procrastination: Making tasks more challenging than procrastination and engaging in activities like cold showers or intense workouts can propel action.Intrinsic Motivation: Finding joy in the effort process itself is essential to avoid burnout from dopamine peak-inducing behaviors.Further Reading: For more insights into dopamine and its role in addiction, read "Dopamine Nation" by Dr. Anna Lembke.Key Takeaways:Dopamine Drives Motivation: Understanding how dopamine works can help you stay motivated and chase after your goals effectively.Environmental Cues Matter: Small signals indicating progress can keep you motivated. Use them to your advantage.Moderation with Substances: Be cautious with substances that release dopamine, like caffeine, to avoid diminishing your zest for activities.Daily Foundational Activities: Incorporate cold exposure and possibly L-tyrosine to maintain high dopamine levels and motivation.Overcome Procrastination: Use challenging activities to make the effort more appealing than procrastination.5 Things to Start Doing Today:Set Small, Achievable Goals: Break down larger goals into smaller tasks and celebrate each achievement to maintain motivation.Incorporate Cold Exposure: Start your day with cold showers or ice baths to boost dopamine levels and stay motivated for hours.Moderate Dopamine-Releasing Substances: Be mindful of caffeine and other stimulants. Use them in moderation to maintain energy levels and enjoyment.Use Environmental Cues: Surround yourself with cues that signal progress toward your goals. This can be as simple as a checklist or a progress chart.Engage in Enjoyable Activities: Find activities you genuinely enjoy and ensure you get rewards for them, but avoid over-relying on these rewards to keep the activity pleasurable.Thank you for tuning in to this episode of Shift with CJ.

She's an American psychiatrist and Chief of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic at Stanford University. She is a specialist in the opioid epidemic in the United States. Here we talk about the relationship between anxiety, pleasure and pain. The pleasure pain balance and the way in which we move toward pleasure to solve anxiety and it works short term, but for many of the things we do to - such as picking up our phone to scroll - we only create more anxiety longterm. we talk about medication, addiction - and not just addiction to drugs or alcohol. We talk about our intolerance of boredom, the importance of what she calls 'pro social shame' and her go-to self binding strategies. Sign up to my Substack and get 20% off forever at this link.

Regular listeners know I see our relationships with many activities that are enabled by pollution as behavioral addictions like gambling or playing video games. Thus, I bring experts in addiction.Anna's book Dopamine Nation is one of the most accessible I've read. She covers the scale of addiction, how much it's increasing, how it works, her personal history with her own addiction, and the stories of several of her patients.After she describes her background, we start by talking about the shame that accompanies addiction and makes it hard to share about, including our personal experiences of it. We cover how much our culture and economy have embraced addiction. It's profitable, after all.She describes in lay terms how addiction works, how it disrupts homeostasis and the results, for example tolerance. She talks about the paradox that as we create more material abundance, we see more anxiety, depression, and other problems. We find addictive things lead us to feel we're treating our problems, but more often add to them.She asked me about avoiding packaged food, doof, and other sustainability experiments. I read she asked out of genuine curiosity, recognizing I'm not just doing it for myself. I think she wants to practice sustainability more and is looking to learn how.We talk about our culture. She identifies commercially-driven epidemics for profit. You can tell I enjoyed this conversation.Selected publicationsLembke, A., Digital Addictions Are Drowning Us in Dopamine, The Wall Street Journal, August 13, 2021Lembke, A., Eyal, N.

Anna Lembke est une psychiatre de renom, et diectrice de la clinique de médecine de l'addiction et du double diagnostic de l'université de Stanford et autrice de "Dopamnine nation". C'est la médecin de référence dans le documentaire "the Social dilemna" (derrière nos écrans de fumée) que vous avez sans doute vu! Autant dire que c'est une invitée qui mérite très largement un épisode en anglais. Je vous propose une conversation approfondie sur le monde fascinant de l'addiction, de l'emprise des opioïdes aux dépendances numériques qui façonnent nos vies modernes. Anna partage son point de vue sur la façon dont notre recherche du plaisir conduit à une douleur accrue et à la dépendance, en se plongeant dans les mécanismes du cerveau, le concept de déséquilibre de la dopamine et les répercussions psychologiques de nos choix de mode de vie. Nous évoquons également le travail remarquable d'Anna dans ce domaine, mis en lumière dans son livre « Dopamine Nation », et sa participation au documentaire percutant « The Social Dilemma ». En outre, elle aborde le sujet controversé des psychédéliques tels que la psilocybine et la MDMA, en examinant à la fois leur potentiel thérapeutique et les dangers de la dépendance. Cet épisode regorge d'histoires marquantes, de conseils d'experts sur la gestion de la dépendance et du point de vue unique d'Anna sur les raisons pour lesquelles la société doit s'efforcer de faire preuve de modération dans notre monde d'abondance constante. Que vous luttiez contre vos propres addictions, que vous connaissiez quelqu'un qui en souffre ou que vous soyez simplement fasciné par la psychologie humaine, cette conversation ne manquera pas de vous éclairer et de vous inspirer. Installez-vous confortablement pour un épisode qui offre non seulement des défis, mais aussi des voies pleines d'espoir vers la guérison et l'équilibre. Les questions que l'on traite : 1. Can you explain how the brain's response to opioids can lead to increased pain rather than relief? 2. You mentioned a gradual tapering off approach for stopping opioid use. What are the key stages of this process, and why is it preferred over abrupt cessation? 3. In regards to digital device addiction, what are some practical strategies individuals can adopt to manage their device use effectively? 4. How does the pursuit of the perfect self through biohacking and social media contribute to addiction? Can you provide examples? 5. Discussion on "dopamine nation" suggests a mismatch between our ancient brain wiring and today's world of abundance. How does this mismatch contribute to modern day addictions? 6. What role do governments, schools, and corporations have in addressing the global dopamine deficit state you mentioned? Could you outline some interventions they could implement? 7. Considering the positive and negative impacts of psychedelics you discussed, how should regulations around the therapeutic use of substances like psilocybin and MDMA evolve? 8. With your deep dive into the impact of exercise on dopamine production, what advice would you give to someone looking to balance pleasure and pain through physical activity? 9. You shared an impactful story about a patient named Jacob. Could you discuss how individual stories like his shape your approach to addiction treatment and public advocacy? 10. The concept of an "addictive personality" was briefly mentioned. Could you delve deeper into how understanding one's baseline dopamine levels and genetic factors could aid in personalized addiction treatment plans?
