About this episode

What if your phone is actually training your brain to feel less motivated, less connected, and more stressed?


In this fascinating conversation, neuroscientist TJ Power, author of The DOSE Effect: An Inspiring Self-Healing Guide About the Mind-Body-Hormonal Connection, reveals how four key brain chemicals shape our experience of life, and shares surprisingly simple ways to work with your natural chemistry rather than against it. Learn practical strategies to boost motivation, deepen connections, and feel more energized without expensive supplements or complicated protocols.
