Our brains are being rewired by constant exposure to supernormal stimuli - digital content like porn, social media, and short-form video that flood the brain with dopamine, impair focus and intimacy, and literally shrink brain structures. The good news? With intentional use and neurofeedback, we can restore brain function and reclaim our attention.
In this episode, neuroscientist Dr. Trish Leigh reveals how "supernormal stimuli" are hijacking our dopamine systems. Pornography produces up to 400% dopamine increase (nearly cocaine-level at 450%), while screens resonate at 60 Hz, pushing brain activity into overdrive. Healthy calm focus operates at 10 Hz, but prolonged screen exposure creates the "wired-and-tired" brain simultaneous fast and slow brainwave activity leading to anxiety, poor focus, and depression.
Dr. Leigh reveals how excessive screen time creates measurable brain dysfunction. Her solution: intentional balance and neurofeedback to restore optimal brainwave patterns. Recovery is possible at any age by replacing digital stimulation with real-world experiences.
Don't let technology control you, learn to control it. This episode provides the roadmap to reclaim your brain and your life.
