98. Hack Your Brain: Defeat Vaping’s Dopamine Trap



Break Vape Podcast with Tami Ernst | Quit Vaping in 6 Simple Steps

I personally vaped for years because I thought it helped me cope with stress and anxiety, but that could not have been further from the truth. After doing some research, I learned that vaping actually causes stress and anxiety, not helps with it. For me, this was a light bulb moment and the main catalyst for driving my decision to quit.


The science behind this phenomenon is fascinating. When we vape, nicotine enters our bloodstream and reaches the brain in less than 10 seconds. It then binds to neurons in the brain's reward center, stimulating the release of dopamine. This process creates a feeling of satisfaction, but it also tricks our brains into craving more nicotine.


Join me this week as I explore the intricate relationship between vaping, stress, and dopamine. You’ll learn the science behind a vaping addiction, how vaping bio hacks our bodies to cause stress and anxiety, and my favorite quitting tool: dopamine shifting. 

 

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

  • How vaping causes stress and anxiety through a dopamine hijack in the brain.

  • Why the brain becomes dependent on vaping to feel good and release dopamine.

  • The science behind nicotine addiction and its impact on brain chemistry.

  • How to use dopamine shifting as a strategy for quitting vaping.

  • Why quitting vaping can lead to a newfound sense of strength and empowerment.
