INSIGHT

Food as a Drug

  • Modern food, with excess salt, fat, and sugar, acts like a drug.
  • It releases excessive dopamine, making moderation and conscious limitation crucial.
INSIGHT

Pleasure-Pain Balance

  • The brain's pleasure-pain balance seeks homeostasis, downregulating dopamine after pleasure.
  • Repeated pleasure-seeking leads to tolerance, stronger cravings, and potential addiction.
ADVICE

Dopamine Fasting

  • Acknowledge constant dopamine stimulation from modern rewards and its negative impact.
  • Reset your reward pathway with a dopamine fast to restore homeostasis.
