About this listen

You’re not burned out because you’re weak. You’re burned out because you’re addicted: to stimulation, to notifications, to performance highs that quietly destroy your ability to focus and lead.


In this episode, Dr. Andre Heeg breaks down how dopamine, the brain chemical behind motivation and reward, is being hijacked by modern work culture. With help from his AI co-host Clara, he explores:

  • Why high-performers are more vulnerable to dopamine burnout
  • How coffee, email, news, and microdosing form the same addictive loop
  • The neuroscience behind distraction, overstimulation, and collapse
  • A 5-part protocol to reset your nervous system and rebuild focus

This isn’t self-help. It’s survival for ambitious professionals who want to sustain performance over decades, not just quarters.
