Today on the Limitless Athlete Podcast, Coach Tom speaks to psychiatrist and author, Dr. Anna Lembke, about the role of dopamine and how to stop it ruining your progress as an athlete.
There's two main topics of conversation here: leaderboarding, and phone addiction.
These are the two forms of addiction which form the greatest destructive habits to athletes like yourself.
Dopamine is an extremely powerful neurotransmitter and plays a huge role in addictive behaviours and emotional patterns.
Questions we'll answer:
- Why are you addicted to the leaderboard even though it makes you feel crap?
- How do you learn to put your phone down?
- What role does dopamine play in your mental health?
