Do you find yourself scrolling through social media for hours on end, unable to break away from the screen? Are you constantly checking your phone for notifications, even when you know there's nothing there? You may be addicted to social media, and you're not alone. Social media platforms are designed to trigger our brain's reward system and keep us hooked, leading to compulsive use and addictive behaviours.

But it's not all doom and gloom. There are ways to break free from social media addiction and take back control of your dopamine, the brain chemical responsible for reward and pleasure. In this video, we'll explore the science behind dopamine and how it affects our brains, with insights from neuroscientist and professor Andrew Huberman.

We'll start by examining the role of dopamine in our brains and how social media exploits this system to keep us hooked. We'll also look at the negative effects of social media addiction on our mental health, including anxiety, depression, and decreased attention span.

But it's not all bad news. By understanding the science behind dopamine and developing healthy habits, we can take back control and use social media in a more intentional and productive way. We'll provide practical tips and actionable strategies for reducing screen time, creating healthy boundaries, and using social media in a way that serves us rather than controls us.

Whether you're struggling with social media addiction or simply looking to use social media more mindfully, this video is for you.
