Dr. Trish Leigh Podcast
Porn has been shown to create underactivity in the frontal lobe and reward centers in the brain. Porn can increase your anxiety, depression, mood problems, strain your relationships, and even give you erectile dysfunction. Dr. Trish Leigh will teach you how porn can ruin your brain and what to do to heal it.

Episode #207: Why Fantasizing Feels Normal
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Your brain isn’t broken. You’re living inside a neurological environment built by chronic overstimulation.
What feels “normal” today is engineered. Algorithms train your nervous system to expect reward without effort — and over time, your brain’s effort system goes offline.
When stimulation replaces engagement, motivation drops, focus fractures, emotional regulation weakens, and desire shuts down.
That’s not a discipline problem.
It’s a nervous system state.
In this Supernormal conversation, you’ll understand:
• Why overstimulation rewires effort, desire, and regulation
• Why habit change fails when the nervous system is dysregulated
• Why porn use and dopamine loops flatten real-world reward
• How miswiring shows up as low motivation, anxiety, ED, or shutdown
Real change doesn’t start with willpower.
It starts with seeing how your brain adapts.
