Pt 1: How to Stop Dopamine from Controlling Your Life | Tj Power

Tj Power is the creator of The DOSE Effect, a concept which explains how dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin and endorphins influence our physical and mental health.


Tj’s organisation The DOSE Lab provides relatable, science-backed strategies to empower individuals to improve their mental wellbeing by rebalancing their brain chemistry. His book ‘The DOSE Effect: Small Habits to Boost Your Brain Chemistry’ became an instant Sunday Times Bestseller earlier this year.
