EP. 010: Dopamine Detox: Ditching Modern Addictions

This special episode of Weights & Wealth deviates from our typical format of a weight topic and a wealth topic and focuses instead on a major cultural problem that most of us are facing. Nick and Ted discuss the plethora of sources of high dosage dopamine hits that currently plaque us with pleasure and how we can limit these.
