Episode #228: Can Retatrutide Help Addiction? The Science Behind Dopamine and Cravings

Most people think addiction is about the substance. Alcohol. Porn. Nicotine. Gambling. Food. It's not. It's about the brain. Every hit floods your reward system with dopamine, the pursuit chemical. Your baseline drops, life dulls, and you chase a stronger hit  to feel normal. That's why researchers are studying Retatrutide, a weight-loss drug, after early signs that it may also quiet cravings and compulsive behaviors. But quieting a craving is not the same as rewiring the brain. Turn one urge down and the pull finds a new outlet. Can Retatrutide Help Addiction? The Science Behind Dopamine and Cravings 👉 In this video, Dr. Leigh breaks down what the research shows, and why this was never about willpower.  👉 See how your brain is wired.
