Welcome to a powerful new era of the Thrive and Aligned Healing Podcast! In celebration of our 200th episode, we’re launching a brand-new series diving deep into the root-cause roles of your neurotransmitters and hormones—starting with dopamine.
You’ve heard it called the “pleasure molecule” or the “reward chemical,” but there’s so much more to this powerful neurochemical than you’ve been told.
In this episode, Dr. Carmen and Kim Jarman explore:
How dopamine actually drives your motivation—not just your pleasure
Why low energy, brain fog, or “blah” moods may signal a deeper imbalance
The hidden cost of dopamine addiction (hello, social media, food, retail therapy)
The role of dopamine in gut health, sleep, and mood disorders like ADHD and depression
Natural ways to nourish dopamine (starting with food and nervous system repair)
What it really means to “take your power back” by understanding your emotional wiring
✨ “Symptoms are signals—not problems.”
✨ “When I quit buffering with retail therapy, I reclaimed control of my life.”
✨ “You can’t supplement your way out of a dysregulated nervous system.”
This isn’t just a conversation about brain chemistry—it’s about reclaiming sovereignty over your health, your choices, and your joy.
Let’s kick off this new chapter together.
