Andrew Huberman, the guy who used to skate at Embarcadero and is now a professor at Stanford for neurobiology and ophthalmology, has a podcast called Huberman Lab that's getting a lot of attention.
He's known for digging deep into how the brain works and recently talked about some controversial stuff like the effects of p*rn on our brains.
In a recent episode of The Diary Of A CEO, Huberman broke down the real deal on how p*rnography messes with our dopamine levels.
He explains that it’s not just about pleasure—p*rn can mess with our brain’s reward system and lead to addiction if we're not careful.
So, what’s the alternative? Huberman suggests finding healthier ways to stimulate our brain’s reward system, like having a healthy, romantic and sexual interaction.
He also sheds light on the surprising link between fulfillment and p*rn addiction. Turns out, seeking out more genuine, rewarding experiences can lead to greater satisfaction than chasing the highs from p*rnography.
