Too much dopamine is *not* a good thing. Brains want BALANCE.

What are dopamine Gremlins? How do they regulate feelings of pain & pleasure? How much pleasure is too much? What can we do to restore balance in our brains amidst the unprecedented high-reward stimuli in our environment?
On May 18, 2023 GPS hosted Anna Lembke, M.D. in an encore presentation of Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence. Learn how dopamine works in the brain, how we can experience pleasure overload, and why our body fights to maintain balance.
