Dr. Trish Leigh Podcast Episode #196: Neuroscientist Explains Why You Can’t “Fix” Your Dopamine
Neuroscientist Explains Why You Can’t “Fix” Your Dopamine
You’ve tried to fix yourself — more routines, more tracking, more control. But neuroscience shows what you’re really chasing isn’t progress… it’s another dopamine hit.
When you constantly tweak, check, or perfect, your brain lights up — not from growth, but from anticipation. That’s why stillness feels unsafe. You’ve trained your nervous system to equate safety with activity.
Real discipline isn’t about doing more. It’s about learning to trust your brain’s rhythm again. When you loosen your mental grip, your system finds harmony — the state where dopamine balances and focus flows naturally.
If you’ve been tightening every string trying to hold your life together, this episode will help you tune instead of tense. Because peace isn’t passive — it’s powerful.
