    Episode #229: What Gooning Does To Your Brain | The Science of Porn Addiction and Dopamine Hijack

    12/07/2026 | 13 mins.
    You open porn, planning to watch for a few minutes.
    Then hours disappear.
    It's not just a self-control problem. Repeated overstimulation trains your brain to crave higher dopamine, making focus, motivation, and real intimacy feel less rewarding.
    As your reward system adapts, the prefrontal cortex—the part responsible for impulse control—has a harder time stopping the behavior.
    In this episode, Dr. Trish Leigh explains what gooning does to the brain, why porn rewires the reward system, and how neuroplasticity makes recovery possible.
    What Gooning Does To Your Brain | The Science of Porn Addiction and Dopamine Hijack 👉🧠 You can't rewire what you haven't measured. A Brain Map shows how your reward system is functioning, so you know where to start rebuilding.

    Episode #228: Can Retatrutide Help Addiction? The Science Behind Dopamine and Cravings

    05/07/2026 | 17 mins.
    Most people think addiction is about the substance. Alcohol. Porn. Nicotine. Gambling. Food.
    It's not. It's about the brain.
    Every hit floods your reward system with dopamine, the pursuit chemical.

    Your baseline drops, life dulls, and you chase a stronger hit  to feel normal.
    That's why researchers are studying Retatrutide, a weight-loss drug, after early signs that it may also quiet cravings and compulsive behaviors.
    But quieting a craving is not the same as rewiring the brain. Turn one urge down and the pull finds a new outlet.
    Can Retatrutide Help Addiction? The Science Behind Dopamine and Cravings 👉 In this video, Dr. Leigh breaks down what the research shows, and why this was never about willpower.

    Episode #227: Does Quitting Porn Increase Testosterone?

    28/06/2026 | 16 mins.
    "I think my testosterone is low."

    Your drive isn't what it was. You don't feel like yourself.

    Here's what you're missing:
    It didn't start with your hormones. It started in your brain.
    When your brain gets overstimulated, it reduces its own dopamine levels. Real life goes quiet. The gym stops hitting. The man you were gets harder to find.

    The problem is that your reward system got miswired.
    And quitting alone isn't enough.

    You stop, and still feel flat. You have to rewire.
    In this video, Dr. Trish Leigh talks about:
     🧠 What dopamine does that testosterone doesn't
     🧠 How overstimulation kills your drive
     🧠 Why quitting isn't enough
     🧠 How to rebuild motivation through neuroplasticity

    Stop asking how to raise your testosterone. Ask how to get yourself back.

    Does Quitting Porn Increase Testosterone? 🧠 Stop guessing. Measure your brain.

    Episode #226: How to Quit Porn Permanently

    21/06/2026 | 15 mins.
    You've quit before.
    A week. A month. Even 90 days.

    So why do you keep ending up back where you started?

    Most people think they're trying to quit porn.
    But they're really trying to change a brain that learned to depend on it.

    Because porn isn't just pleasure. It's a relief. That's why so many relapses feel confusing.
    And until you address the brain behind the behavior, recovery can feel like an endless cycle of starting over.

    How to Quit Porn Permanently 👉 Dr. Trish Leigh explains why lasting recovery isn't about more willpower—it's about rewiring the brain.

    How to Quit Porn Permanently 🧠 You can't fix what you haven't seen. Stop guessing. Measure it.

    Episode #225 :Why Does Pornography Lower Relationship Satisfaction? The Neuroscience Explained

    14/06/2026 | 19 mins.
    You love your partner.
    So why does a screen feel more exciting than real life?

    Most people assume it's a relationship problem.
    But what if it's a brain problem?

    The brain adapts to what it experiences most.
    Scrolling. Short videos.
    Pornography.  Constant novelty.

    Over time, stimulation becomes the reward.

    And real-life connections can start feeling less exciting than they used to.
    Because your brain learned to chase novelty instead of connection. Your brain has been hijacked.

    Why Does Pornography Lower Relationship Satisfaction? The Neuroscience Explained 👉 Dr. Trish Leigh explains what overstimulation may be doing to desire, intimacy, and attachment.

    🧠 You can't fix what you haven't seen. Stop guessing. Measure it.
