## Resource

In this episode of Dishing Up Nutrition, registered dietitians Melanie Beasley and Britni Vincent unpack the truth about dopamine, the brain’s reward and motivation neurotransmitter, and how modern life is hijacking it. From ultra-processed foods and sugar to caffeine, social media, and endless notifications, they explain why so many people feel overstimulated yet unsatisfied at the same time.
