Welcome to Cheap Dopamine Detox — a short, powerful reset designed to bring your brain back into balance.
Modern life floods your nervous system with constant stimulation: phone notifications, scrolling, multitasking, processed food, overconsumption — all of which train your brain to chase quick hits of dopamine and abandon focus, deep work, and calm.
This course guides you through understanding how dopamine actually works, identifying your biggest drains, creating a short reset, and rebuilding healthier patterns that support your baseline motivation, energy, and clarity. You’ll learn practical tools that help your brain shift from impulsive, distracted behavior to intentional, steady, sustainable focus.
This course is a general educational program and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. It is not a substitute for professional guidance from a licensed medical, psychological, or mental health provider.
Always talk with your doctor before adjusting medications, diet, supplements, or routines that may impact your mental or physical health. By participating, you acknowledge that you are responsible for your own choices, actions, and outcomes.
Learn what cheap dopamine is, why your brain craves it, and how it impacts focus, motivation, and energy. Discover the difference between short-term spikes and your natural baseline, and see why modern life overstimulates the reward system compared to our hunter-gatherer roots.
Pinpoint the habits, triggers, and activities that steal your attention and energy. From social media scrolling to mindless multitasking, this step helps you gain awareness of what’s draining you so you can take control.
Create a simple, realistic plan to reduce overstimulation. Set personal boundaries, limit triggers, and replace reactive habits with intentional alternatives. This step ensures your detox is structured, sustainable, and effective.
Learn how to swap artificial, short-lived rewards for meaningful, sustainable ones. Incorporate practices like movement, journaling, breathwork, sunlight exposure, and single-tasking to naturally boost focus, motivation, and calm.
Anchor your new habits into your identity so the changes last. Align your daily actions with the person you want to be, retrain your brain for intentional behavior, and build long-term focus, energy, and resilience.
