Welcome back to another episode of the Next Level Podcast. Today, I'm thrilled to dive deep into the fascinating world of dopamine and its impact on our daily lives, health, and fitness journeys. I'm joined by the insightful Craig Smith as we explore how seemingly mundane routines can actually lead us to success and why it's important to understand our cravings for those dopamine hits. We'll share personal anecdotes and societal observations, addressing the common challenges of maintaining balance in a society driven by instant gratification. Whether you're chasing fitness goals or navigating the complexities of addiction recovery, this discussion promises to offer valuable insights for everyone. So, tune in and let's take your life to the next level together!
