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.

From prehistoric dopamine cycles to the modern sugar scroll-swipe-snooze trap, this is your wake-up call.

If you feel stuck, lazy, unmotivated, or constantly reaching for snacks—you don't need more discipline. You need a dopamine reset.

What You'll Learn:
  • Why your brain is addicted to comfort—not calories

  • The wild difference between ancient dopamine cycles and modern life

  • How porn, DoorDash, and TikTok rewire your nervous system

  • Why fasting isn't just fat loss—it's a mental upgrade

  • The 4-part blueprint to rebuild your discipline and dopamine sensitivity

  • The one mantra to dominate cravings, fatigue, and mental resistance: "I don't take orders from cowards."
