Description

In this inspiring episode of the RAISE Podcast, we sit down with TJ Power, neuroscientist, educator and bestselling author of The Dose Effect. TJ unpacks the science behind our four key brain chemicals - dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins (D.O.S.E.) and how they shape our mood, motivation and mental health in the digital age.

We explore how modern life, especially our relationship with technology, hijacks these chemicals and what we can do to reset our systems. TJ shares practical, science-backed strategies to reduce screen addiction, improve focus, regulate mood and raise both our kids’ and our own sense of well-being.

We also explore ADHD, how dopamine affects attention, motivation and addictive behaviours in the ADHD brain, and what strategies can support children and adults with ADHD to feel more balanced, focused and empowered in their daily lives.

From dopamine detoxes and nature walks to bedtime boundaries and parenting with intention, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you rebalance and thrive! Whether you're a parent or someone feeling digitally drained, TJ's wisdom will leave you empowered to create lasting change in your life and your children’s.
