Description

Have you ever wondered what makes people do the things they do? At the most primal level, the answer is pleasure. We’re all striving for a dopamine hit. And while dopamine from natural pleasures like eating nutritious food and getting a good night’s sleep have a positive effect on us, our modern lifestyle has made it dangerously easy to partake in artificial pleasures that have a negative effect. In this episode, I'll break down the science behind pleasure and explains the key differences between healthy, natural dopamine triggers and unhealthy, artificial ones. Listen in to learn how our brains trick us into seeking pleasure from unhealthy sources and how to overcome addictions that develop from these bad habits.
