Get ready to uncover the complexities of your brain's reward system, as we welcome neuroscientist TJ Power, a man on a unique journey of discovery and personal redemption. From youthful party animal to respected researcher, TJ's fascinating story is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for change.
Learn about the powerful role of dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin in our lives and how they are affected by alcohol. We'll take you on an intriguing journey as we decode the dopamine curve, delve into the 'hacking' of dopamine and its resulting burnout, and reveal the surprising influence of serotonin on our happiness.
