Using science to cure a broken heart??

Unbothered
About this episode

Can understanding the science of heartbreak actually help you heal? Heartbreak feels like you’re dying because your brain literally thinks you are. In this episode, we break down what’s really happening in your body post-breakup. Cortisol spikes, dopamine crashes, withdrawal symptoms, and how love literally mimics addiction in the brain. It’s not just emotional, it’s chemical, and we’re here to help you make it out the other side.
