Dopamine Detox: Hitting Reset on Your Reward System

The Black Girl Bravado

Feeling constantly pulled towards notifications, social media scrolling endlessly, or maybe that afternoon sugar crash just won't quit? These could all be signs of a dopamine overload. In this episode, we'll explore the science behind dopamine, the brain's feel-good chemical, and how excessive stimulation can disrupt our focus, happiness, and overall well-being.

In this episode we discuss:

• What dopamine is and its role in motivation, learning, and pleasure
• Signs and symptoms of experiencing excessive dopamine stimulation
• The potential benefits of a dopamine detox
• Practical tools to help you reduce exposure to activities or substances that trigger excessive dopamine release
