“The Dopamine Revolution” by Sean David Cohen and Dr. Mahsin Habib offers simple strategies to boost dopamine levels naturally

 

• Dopamine impacts mood, energy, focus and metabolism. Low levels cause fatigue, cravings, poor sleep and weight gain. "The Dopamine Revolution" by Sean David Cohen and Dr. Mahsin Habib offers natural, jargon-free strategies to boost dopamine through diet, sunlight and lifestyle changes.
• Processed seed oils (like canola and soybean oil) promote inflammation, disrupt brain chemistry, hinder fat burning and are linked to "leaky brain" syndrome. Eliminating them can significantly improve health.
• Anxiety affects 1 in 5 people, with low dopamine as a key cause. Many medications have harmful side effects; the book suggests natural solutions to restore balance.
• Quick fixes (pills, low-calorie diets, artificial sweeteners) often backfire by ignoring root causes. Sustainable health comes from whole-food nutrition and avoiding toxic ingredients.
• Restaurant meals often contain inflammatory seed oils, hidden additives, excess sugar and processed ingredients. Cooking at home with wholesome foods (like olive oil) supports long-term well-being.

Dopamine, the body's natural "feel good" chemical, has been studied, documented and written about for years – but never quite like this, as delivered in this prolific book aptly titled "The Dopamine Revolution." Natural health advocate Sean David Cohen and Dr. Mahsin Habib, both with over 30 years' experience studying natural remedies and longevity, co-authored this practical and resourceful book about dopamine.

Sure, knowledge is power, but the reward comes from acting on it and using it to your full advantage day in and day out. This book serves as a reference guide, where you can simply flip through to chapters that pertain to your current needs at any given moment in time.

This book stands out due to its unique, profound and innovative approach. The cutting-edge solutions come in DIY form, making it simple to apply natural strategies and source the recommended foods, beverages and supplements.

Clear, straightforward language explains health concepts, avoiding unnecessary medical and scientific jargon. Regardless of background, readers can relate to the everyday examples that illustrate key points, making it easy to integrate these principles into a holistic lifestyle.

Now is the time to revolutionize physical, mental and emotional well-being like never before. Instead of dwelling on anguish, guilt, remorse or regret, this marks the beginning of a new chapter — one filled with vitality and renewed purpose.

Why proper dopamine levels are so important and can drastically improve your physical health

Dopamine isn't just about mood; it's the driving force behind your energy, focus, metabolism and overall ability to maintain healthy habits. When your dopamine levels drop, the effects are real:

• Constant fatigue
• Sugar and junk food cravings
• Poor sleep and low motivation
• Emotional eating and weight gain

Processed foods and artificial additives are secretly sabotaging your dopamine levels and making it harder to feel your best. These foods trigger inflammation and disrupt your brain chemistry, leading to a cycle of low energy and poor health.

But there's good news: Boosting your dopamine naturally is possible! You can:

• Eat real, dopamine-boosting foods
• Get sunlight, movement and proper rest
• Eliminate toxic foods that hijack your brain chemistry

Why seed oils are sabotaging your health and weight

You might be eating all the "right" foods, but if seed oils are still sneaking into your meals, they could be the hidden reason you’re feeling sluggish, inflamed and stuck in your weight-loss journey. Many people overlook these oils, yet they can quietly wreak havoc on your body and metabolism.

Here's how seed oils could be impacting your health:

• Chemically processed: Most seed oils go through intense chemical treatments, stripping away any nutritional value and leaving behind harmful byproducts.
• Cause chronic inflammation: These oils can trigger low-grade inflammation that leads to weight gain, fatigue and even chronic disease.
• Disrupt brain chemistry: Seed oils interfere with dopamine production, which can leave you feeling unmotivated, anxious or down.
• Linked to leaky brain syndrome: They can break down your brain's protective barrier, impacting focus, mood and overall mental clarity.
• Slow down fat burning: Instead of fueling your body, seed oils contribute to fat storage and hormonal imbalance.

The truth is, cutting out seed oils can be one of the most powerful things you do for your health – but most programs never talk about it. The good news? With the right support and knowledge, you can remove these toxic oils and fuel your body the right way.

4 Facts about anxiety you need to know

Anxiety is more common than many realize, and its often misunderstood. Here are four facts about it:

1. One in every 5 people are experiencing anxiety in 2025
2. Low dopamine levels are considered a main cause of anxiety
3. Many anxiety medications can cause serious side effects
4. The prevalence of anxiety is actually higher among females

Most weight problems are only temporary band aids

Here's why most weight-loss programs fail to deliver long-term results:

• Medication "magic pills": While they may promise fast results, these often come with unwanted side effects and don’t address the root cause of weight gain.
• Low-calorie diets: These can lead to quick weight loss but often cause weight gain once the diet ends, leaving you frustrated and back where you started.
• No-carb diets: Though they may seem effective, they can harm brain health and disrupt your body's natural balance.
• Artificial sweeteners: These can actually make your cravings worse, promote weight gain and even have potential long-term health risks.
• Toxic ingredients in "diet" foods: These can slow your metabolism, trigger cravings and leave you feeling drained and unmotivated.

The truth is, many of these approaches only offer a quick fix without addressing the real, long-term changes your body needs. The good news? You don’t have to follow restrictive diets to achieve lasting health. Small, intentional changes are key to restoring your energy, balancing your metabolism and feeling your best.

Here’s why eating out and ordering in can cause health problems and keep you sick

You might think you’re making smart choices when dining out, but the authors see so many people struggling with hidden ingredients that sabotage their health. Most restaurant meals are designed for taste and profit — not your well-being. Even “healthy” options often contain harmful oils, sugars and preservatives.

Here's why eating out too often might be keeping you sick:

• Toxic seed oils: Canola, soybean and vegetable oils trigger inflammation, slow metabolism and contribute to weight gain.
• Gluten and hidden additives: Even if you’re not allergic, they can cause bloating, digestive issues and brain fog.
• Excess sugar and preservatives: They spike blood sugar, disrupt hormones and keep you craving more unhealthy foods.
• Ultra-processed ingredients: Stripped of nutrients, leaving you fatigued and nutritionally depleted.

The good news? You don't have to be perfect to make a change. Take control of your health just by making small, intentional swaps:

• Cook more meals at home with real ingredients.
• Swap seed oils for olive or avocado oil.
• Cut back on processed and restaurant foods.
