  1. Dopamine Detox: Does It Work? By -TYHO

  2. Introduction It has been trending, with many people around the world hopping on the bandwagon. The international media has been all over it too. Despite its popularity, however, the concept of a dopamine fast has been largely misunderstood by the masses.

  3. What is a Dopamine Detox?  To address this, let’s begin by introducing what dopamine is. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is made in your brain, and neurotransmitters are chemical messengers in your body. Dopamine plays a role in various crucial bodily functions. Examples include cognition, memory, focus and attention, movement, behaviour, mood, thinking and planning, and reward and motivation. 

  4. The Role of Dopamine It is clear that dopamine has a key role in seeking pleasure. It is thus no surprise that experts have contemplated dopamine’s role in explaining addiction. Specifically, some experts have suggested that dopamine conditions one’s brain to seek pleasurable experiences and avoid unpleasant ones.

  5. Original Intent for Dopamine Detox Unfortunately, people have taken the words “dopamine detox” literally. They then try to “fast” from activities associated with pleasure or dopamine. It was assumed that these were the dopamine detox rules. This was not what the creator of the term Dr Cameron Sepah, had intended at all. 

  6. A Dopamine Fast  These breaks can be anywhere from one hour a day to one week a year. During a dopamine fast, we can partake in simpler and more natural activities. This includes allowing ourselves to experience boredom, for instance

  7. Dopamine Detox: Does It Work This is because when we engage less in pleasurable activities, our dopamine levels do not decrease. Hence, it is not actually possible to “fast” from dopamine. What works, however, is fasting from compulsive behaviours that are problematic for us individually.
