Every post, every like, every notification — it’s all built to manipulate our brain chemistry, often without notice. In this episode, Paul and Erik team up with psychologist Dr. Sherry Pagoto to reveal the brain chemistry behind social media — the dopamine hits that keep you hooked, the algorithms that play you, and the rare moments that still make us feel genuinely connected as human. We explore how the platforms learned to hijack our emotions, and what it actually takes for us to take back control with BALANCE. Equal parts science, confession, and reality check — this episode may change the way you see social media.
