Is your brain hijacked—and you don’t even know it?
In this powerful and eye-opening interview, Greg Denning sits down with Dr. Trish Leigh, brain expert and author, to expose the truth behind how pornography rewires the brain, destroys motivation, and sabotages relationships—especially for men.
With practical brain-based strategies and a deep understanding of neuroscience, Dr. Trish Leigh explains how porn addiction isn’t about morality—it’s about dopamine dependency and brain dysregulation.
She outlines the three types of porn addiction (classic, contemporary, and combined), how early exposure affects young men, and why regulating your brain is the first and most critical step toward freedom.
You’ll also learn how purpose and engagement in life are the ultimate antidotes to destructive behaviors—and how to begin rewiring your brain today.
Whether you’re a husband, father, or single man looking to reclaim your focus and rebuild your life, this episode will give you real hope and tools for transformation.
