How to fix your dopamine-fried brain permanently.
It all starts with these 7 simple lifestyle switches:
1) Stop Drinking Alcohol.
1A) Drinking today, steals tomorrow’s happiness
Regular consumption leads to brain fog, lack of motivation, hyper ventilation and stress.
Alcohol spikes your dopamine levels which results in craving the substance even more.
1B) Alcohol
More than 88,000 people die from alcohol-related deaths each year in the United States (CDC).
15 million people struggle with an alcohol use disorder in the United States, but less than 10% of them receive treatment.
2A) P**n
P**n creates a distorted reality on s*x and women.
Then you go back to reality and there's this feeling of "I thought it was better than that".
You feel drained without any motivation to work hard.
And what do you think happens to the self esteem of your woman?
2B) P**n
69% of American men and 40% of American women watch P**n in any given year.
Adult & P**n Websites industry in the United States was on track to match the revenue of the NCAA at $1.15 billion (2023).
3A) Video Games
Gaming has 3 phases:
1) This game is so fun, i really enjoy it.
2) I use gaming after work to distress and distract myself.
3) I don't even know why i'm playing this game.
The constant dopamine release makes it harder to enjoy "normal" life.
3B) Video Games
1.7% and 10% of the American population suffers from Video Game Addiction.
The average age of a gaming addict is 24 years of age.
4A) Drugs
All forms of addiction, have a common biological underpinning. It’s a disruption in neural circuits that adjust pain-pleasure balance.
Drugs give you a huge spike of Dopamine which results in an even bigger drop.
That's why feel so bad after the effect wears off.
4B) Drugs
Since 2000, more than 700k people died from drug overuse.
The fedral budget for drug control in 2020 was s staggering $35 billion.
5A) Stress
Dopamine is a currency
When it's high, we feel motivated and happy.
When it's low, we feel demotivated, sad and stressed out (feeling of exhaustion and knots in the stomach)
Dopamine regulation is the key.
5B) Stress
Craving and Desire is the foundation of stress and fear.
The increase in the long-term stress has impacted well-being, with a rise in chronic illnesses.
(Americans aged 35 to 44, increase from 48% in 2019 to 58% in 2023).
6A) Gambling
Dopamine has a crucial rule when it comes to Gambling.
Dopamine is released in response to the anticipation and outcome of the activity, creating a cycle of craving and reward.
Every gambling website has some sort of bonus when you sign up
I wonder why...
6B) Gambling
The gambling industry is also a major cog in the U.S. economy, with the national commercial (GGR) reaching 66.65 billion U.S. dollars in 2023.
Casino slots and tables games, generate three-quarters of total GGR in 2023.
7A) Digital Technology
You're Gambling your Time Away.
Social media feeds work the same way as slot machines.
Every post that you like is a winning combination.
Yet, the highest amount of Dopamine is released during the "chase" of the next funny post.
7B) Digital Consumption
Roughly 10 percent of Americans are addicted to social media.
That translates to 33.19 million Americans (based on 2021 population data).
Bonus: Dopamine Mastery
A solution to this problem is Dopamine Mastery.
It's not enough to "use it in moderation" or do Dopamine Detoxes.
That doesn't change who you are.
What needs to change is the relationship we have with Technology.
Fixing your Dopamine will drastically improve the quality of your life
The after-work scrolling...
The constant stimulation...
The ups and downs of business...
Jumping from one meeting to the other...
The hundreds of thousands of dollars made...
All of that is screwing your Dopamine Levels
Making your stressed and burnt out
Preventing you to enjoy life to the fullest
You worked so hard to get here, you don't wanna lose it all
