Episode Details

The Epstein Files aren’t just dominating headlines, they’re hijacking your nervous system. In fact, the constant exposure to any of this chaos, outrage, and disturbing content is spiking your stress hormones and rewiring your dopamine response… and it’s showing up in your cravings and binge eating. I spent 13 years at the FBI and saw firsthand what this level of exposure does to the brain. 

Today, I’m going to break down the psychology behind how this works, and how you can stay informed without getting sucked into the drama or stress-eating an entire sleeve of cookies. 

Together, we will investigate:

• Why 5 minutes of doom scrolling can spike your cravings and binge eating harder than skipping a meal.
• The nervous system effect no one is talking about when disturbing content floods your media feed.
• The uncomfortable reason chaos is addictive.
• How “staying informed” quickly turns into being physiologically hijacked.
• What doom scrolling reveals about your wiring.
• The simple 7-day experiment that will expose whether chaos is driving your binge eating.
