We’re living in a screen-saturated world—and many of us are starting to ask: what’s all this phone time actually doing to our brains?

In this episode, we’re joined by TJ Power, neuroscientist, founder of The DOSE Lab, and author of The DOSE Effect. TJ’s work explores how our brain chemicals—dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins—shape our mental wellbeing, especially in a digital age where constant scrolling is the norm.

In This Episode, We Cover:

  • What dopamine is and how it’s affected by our screen habits

  • How social media and phone use influence mood, motivation, and mental health

  • Whether excessive phone use is actually addictive—and what the warning signs are

  • The science behind phone-free mornings and pre-bed habits

  • How constant scrolling might be affecting your emotional resilience

  • Common myths about dopamine and tech

  • Three practical, science-backed ways to reset your brain and improve focus
