Addiction is the continued compulsive use of a substance or behavior, despite harm to self and or others.
Have you ever wondered why breaking free from addiction feels like an uphill battle? In this episode of 'The Super Human Life,' host Frank Rich sits down with Dr. Anna Lembke, a leading psychiatrist and addiction medicine specialist from Stanford University, to unpack the science behind addiction and the pivotal role dopamine plays in our brains. Dr.
Lembke, author of the NY Times Best Selling Book 'Dopamine Nation,' brings her wealth of knowledge to the table, explaining how this powerful neurotransmitter drives compulsive behaviors, especially when it comes to pornography addiction. She delves into why porn and sex addiction remain taboo topics despite their prevalence today and sheds light on the complex balance between pain and pleasure that dopamine orchestrates. You'll learn about the positive uses of dopamine and how truth-telling can alter our neurochemistry. Dr.
Lembke also discusses the role of prayer and faith in successful addiction recovery. This conversation is not just for those struggling with addiction but for anyone interested in understanding the brain's inner workings. Tune in for actionable strategies to restore dopamine balance through exercise, intermittent fasting, and even cold water therapy. By embracing discomfort and pain, Dr. Lembke suggests we can retrain our brains to find joy in healthier activities.
Get ready for an eye-opening discussion that could change your approach to addiction recovery.
