The Dopamine Detox: Reclaiming Motivation in a Hyper-Stimulated World


Listen Later

Feeling unmotivated, drained, or just… flat? You’re not alone—and it's not laziness. In this episode, therapist Caty and naturopathic doctor Rachel dive into the neuroscience behind dopamine—the brain’s “feel-good” chemical—and how modern life is frying our reward systems.

From social media scrolling and binge-watching to endless notifications and online shopping, we explore how overstimulation leaves us anxious, numb, and searching for that next quick hit. Katie and Rachel share real-life stories, the mental health science behind dopamine burnout, and their favorite ways to reset—through nutrition, mindfulness, boundaries, and finding joy in the small stuff again.

Grab your coffee, get cozy, and join us for a conversation that’ll help you feel more human, more grounded, and a little more you again.
