301: You Don’t Have Sugar Cravings—You Have a Dopamine Problem
Description
You think you’re addicted to sugar… but it’s way deeper than that. In this episode, Nate Palmer exposes the real root of cravings: dopamine addiction.
We’ll break down how modern life hijacks your brain’s reward system, why your ancient biology can’t handle 24/7 comfort, and how you can take back control without relying on willpower alone.
