Twisted Truth: Dopamine and Screens with Dr. Adriana Stacey (#151)

Melanie Hempe, Adriana Stacey

This episode starts a new series on the podcast called Twisted Truths, where we uncover topics that seem true—and may be true in part—but these “truths” fall apart when applied to the screen issue.

Today, Melanie and Dr. Stacey dive into the dopamine addiction reward pathway and highlight how screen activities can throw your kids’ brains out of balance. Melanie also shares some foundational truths to counteract the twisted ones.
