Dr. Trish Leigh Podcast

The Neuroscience of Flow: Why Stillness Fuels Your DopamineIf you feel overstimulated, tense, or stuck in control mode, your brain is not the problem. It’s  your rhythm. In this episode, I show you how your nervous system shifts from chaos to coherence when you stop forcing and start flowing.Flow is not a mindset. It’s a biological state in which your brain waves, heart rhythm, and emotional circuits sync. When that harmony returns, your dopamine stabilizes, your focus strengthens, and you feel fully present again.You will learn what flow looks like on a brain scan, why stillness creates clarity, and how simple rhythms in your breath and body can bring you back into balance.If you want to see your own brain’s rhythm and learn how to restore it, visit drtrishleigh.com  to get your Brain Map and begin rewiring for coherence.Send us a textSupport the showHi.

Every time you scroll, your brain learns one thing: distraction feels safer than stillness.In this episode, Dr. Trish Leigh explains the real dopamine hijack happening in modern life, the overstimulating, engineered world that keeps your nervous system running on urgency, novelty, and noise.As part of No Numb November, you will learn why ancient dopamine wiring struggles in a saturation-based world, how the scroll–spike–crash loop reshapes your reward circuits, why peace feels “boring” and stillness feels unsafe, what high-beta chaos looks like on a brain map, and how to move from quick dopamine highs into steady, grounded clarity. Dr. Leigh also shares her own story of burnout and the moment she realized the issue was not a lack of willpower but a pattern of miswiring shaped by modern overstimulation.Neuroscientist Explains the Dopamine Hijack: How Modern Life Miswires You 👉 If you are ready to calm the chaos in your mind and bring your system back into balance, you can explore a Brain Map or neurofeedback plan at drtrishleigh.com to see exactly where your brain is strained or drained. If you are caught in the dopamine loop or facing NoFap setbacks, the masterclass on the site offers the structure and support your nervous system has been needing.

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. 🧠 Get your Brain Map at drtrishleigh.com to see how your control circuits are firing — and how to rewire them for clarity, calm, and authentic motivation.Send us a textSupport the showHi.

Discover why going cold turkey on dopamine can backfire and leave you feeling worse. Explore the concept of the dopamine illusion, where novelty-driven highs lead to deep crashes. Learn how overstimulation shows up on brain maps and manifests in issues like erectile dysfunction. Dr. Trish shares her journey from overstimulation to rewiring and offers practical steps for restoration. Emphasizing regulation over restriction, she reveals how to reset pleasure pathways in your life for long-lasting well-being.

You’ve seen dopamine everywhere—on shirts, mugs, even tattoos—but the real issue isn’t “more dopamine,” it’s imbalance. In a world wired for novelty—clicks, explicit matter, endless goals—your brain learns compulsion, not clarity. Dopamine was meant to be a teacher, not a trophy.This November isn’t just NoFap—it’s No Numb November. Because the problem isn’t only the behavior, it’s the numbing your nervous system keeps chasing. When you quit cold turkey, the stimulation stops, but your circuitry is still revving—so you feel flat, anxious, or relapse. That’s not weakness; it’s withdrawal from artificial dopamine spikes.On brain maps, I see red chaos in the reward circuits—your striatum and prefrontal cortex firing too fast and out of sync. That’s the loop of chasing → crashing → chasing again. The wake-up call often comes as ED (Erectile Dysfunction) or SAD (Sexual Arousal Dysfunction). You can’t out-discipline a dysregulated brain—you must rewire the rhythm.That means balancing dopamine with serotonin for joy and oxytocin for connection, detoxing digital noise, and “dopamine stacking” from real life—connection, purpose, fun, and meaningful work. If it’s not scheduled, it’s not real.Neuroscientist Explains Why No Numb November (& NoFap) Doesn’t Work — and What Does 👉 Watch Full Episode 1 — The Real Reason NoFap Fails (and How to Rewire Instead) — and let me guide you out of the dopamine hijack into supernormal living, where calm creates clarity and clarity creates freedom.Send us a textSupport the showHi.

You think you’re just catching up—but suddenly your chest tightens, your breath shortens, and your brain whispers, “You’re not enough.” That’s not a lack of discipline. It’s a nervous system hijack. 🧠Every scroll trains your brain to crave stimulation instead of stillness and comparison instead of contentment. This is the digital envy loop—a dopamine-driven trap that floods you with pleasure and shame all at once, leaving you restless, anxious, and disconnected from your true worth.But here’s the truth: you’re not broken. Your brain has just been baited. You can rewire it—pause before you scroll, rebuild real reward through creation, and reclaim stillness as your superpower. 🌿Stay here with me in this podcast episode as I show you how to take your power back from the algorithm and reconnect with your sacred self.And if you want deeper help retraining your brain from overstimulation, I can help you—visit drtrishleigh.com.Send us a textSupport the showHi.

Discover how modern screens are tricking our brains into mistaking fleeting pleasure for true joy. Learn about the dopamine trap and how overstimulation rewires our reward circuits, leading to addiction and mental health struggles. Dr. Trish shares hope through neuroplasticity and outlines practical brain hacks like digital detoxes, journaling, and stillness practices. Shift from chasing quick fixes to nurturing lasting contentment and purpose in life. Rewire your mind and embrace a more fulfilling existence!

You don’t need more willpower. You need coherence.Trying harder isn’t the answer — it’s your brain that needs realignment. Neuroscience shows that willpower lives in your prefrontal cortex, but when dopamine spikes from overstimulation, that part of your brain literally goes offline. That’s why white-knuckling through temptation never works.True discipline isn’t about control — it’s about coherence. When your nervous system is balanced and your higher self is in control, discipline flows naturally. You don’t conquer temptation; you outgrow it.If you’ve been trying to “be stronger,” this episode will show you a new way — the neuroscience of sacred order: thought → intention → aligned action → integrity. 💻 Visit drtrishleigh.com to get your Brain Map and begin your rewiring journey today.Send us a textSupport the showHi.

Dopamine Hijack: How Screens Miswire Your Brain (and How to Rewire It Back)Have you ever opened your phone to “just check one thing”… and suddenly 45 minutes are gone? That isn’t weakness—it’s your brain being hijacked. Dopamine, the chemical that drives motivation, gets rewired by screens to chase novelty and notifications instead of real-life rewards. Over time, that leaves you fragmented in focus, drained of motivation, and disconnected from who you really are.The good news? Your brain can change. Neuroplasticity is the same power that miswired you—and it’s the same power that can rewire you. By creating screen-free rituals, training your nervous system to calm focus, and redirecting dopamine into purpose, connection, and creativity, you can reset your pleasure pathways and reclaim your motivation.Your brain was never designed for endless scrolling. It was designed for joy, focus, and real intimacy. Don’t let screens steal that from you.👉 Learn how to rewire with neuroscience-based tools at drtrishleigh.comSend us a textSupport the showHi.
