We have receptors that take in these hormones, including happiness hormones like dopamine, and over time, we become addicted to them. And what we forget is the long-term perspective.
Imagine a world where your screen and sugar cravings are more than just habits—they're actual addictions. In this episode of Sukkerpodden, host Bente Josefsen sits down with psychologist and sought-after speaker John Petter Fagerhaug to discuss the double-edged sword of screen and sugar addiction. Fagerhaug dives into the science behind why our brains crave these dopamine hits, explaining how both technology and sugar can hijack our happiness receptors.
The conversation sheds light on the often-overlooked parallels between these two forms of addiction and their long-term impacts on mental health, including loneliness and communication breakdowns. Bente also shares her personal journey of battling sugar addiction, adding a relatable touch to the discussion. The episode isn't just a cautionary tale; it's packed with practical advice on how to manage screen time and sugar intake, emphasizing the importance of balance and personal responsibility.
If you've ever wondered how to break free from these modern-day chains, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable steps to reclaim your well-being.
