8:42 Addiction recovery and restoring dopamine levels
Chronic porn addiction can destroy your sex life, your love life, and even interfere with your emotions. Porn addiction isn’t about sex or pleasure; it’s about dopamine.
Pornography is the number one cause of erectile dysfunction in men under 40. Erectile dysfunction isn’t just the loss of erection; it’s a loss of libido and the ability to climax.
The porn industry is not selling sex, they’re selling dopamine spikes! Dopamine is not a pleasure hormone, it’s a neurotransmitter. It’s about the anticipation before the pleasure: the want.
Over time, pornography creates massive dopamine spikes, but the receptors are unable to receive them. This causes anticipation, cravings, and an obsessive urge to watch more porn. This is similar to the carb cravings you might experience if you have insulin resistance.
Although 98 to 99 percent of porn is free, the porn industry manages to make billions off of the 1-2 percent of porn you have to pay for. This system relies on decreased sensitivity to dopamine, causing a person to crave more extreme porn.
Too much dopamine leads to excitotoxicity, which is toxic to your neurons. As a protective mechanism, your cells will limit the amount of dopamine they allow in through a process called downregulation.
The good news is that the damage to your dopamine receptors is reversible! The surprising solution is boredom. Allow yourself to be bored if you’re faced with the urge to watch porn. Over time, this will become easier and easier as your dopamine receptors return to normal.
Try these tips to quit porn for good:
• Don’t take your phone into the bedroom
• Block pornography websites
• Do not use social media that has soft porn
• Remove triggers from your environment
To restore normal dopamine levels after pornography addiction, focus on the following:
• Sleep
• Consistent exercise
• Low-carb diet
• Zinc
• Magnesium
• Sunlight

Thanks for watching! I hope you find this incredibly helpful for your porn addiction recovery. I’ll see you in the next video.
That is a diff topic ! Important too
Been free for one year now! Thanks to Jesus 🙏🏽
🙌
Amen bro
we need not suppress or release the energy, it only needs to be engaged with in a conscious manner in order to reach higher states of consciousness. I recommend the Tantra master, Ma Anand Sarita, who has courses and articles on this Tantric approach for more information. We need to embrace and work with this energy.
That’s awesome bro
It wasn’t jesus it was you… you did it
What a unexpected video but it really destroys your hippocampal volume and brain cells
This is a very important topic, thank you for addressing it. So many struggle with this.
The truth sets free! Read Proverbs 5:18-23 NLT “Let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you. Rejoice in the wife of your youth. Let her bre@sts satisfy you always…”

These girls must earn somehow – we must stay faithful clients men !
why assume his own audience struggles with it? Kind of accusatory.
@alive28697yikes talk about being easily triggered 😂. I just said many people struggle with this topic and it’s objectively true.

Easy to do! Just don’t watch. I’ve never seen one, but I have seen some written materials when I was very young in grade school. It taught me what my parents hadn’t mentioned to me until i was in high school.
Will it have effect on your back ?
Jesus loves you!
@rome5628 Jesus died long time ago
Mind, Body & Spirit…Dr. Berg takes care of the whole person.
It’s all connected, that’s what Holistic Health means.
Dr. Berg is a guide, it’s up to you to take care of them…
Really dear
I teach a class in Psychology of Addiction and watched to see how you presented this — excellent job!!
It’s not an addiction though. It’s a choice. Stop teaching it’s an addiction.
Thank you 🙂
@SimbaAliayeisn’t everything a choice? Or are we deterministic in outlook?
@SimbaAliaye listen again. It starts out as a choice and turns into a chemical addiction. Of course one still has a “choice” to stop it, like any other addiction.
@SimbaAliaye People like you make me wish the internet were IQ gated.
His videos are getting more and more personal now
As with Dr Josh Axe’s.
Man!!!! I’m going to keep it real this is a heavy VITAL one for me here! Please protect dr BERG at all costs, hes one of the big reasons I’m alive & kicking now🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
“Another” and most powerful weapon of the “enemy”….destruction of oneself and the family….
Correct!
well said, those filthy immoral parasites need to keep to themselves.
Based comment chain.
and who owns it all and this includes Only Frans?
@TheCentralScrutinizer99 synagogue of satan
I think it’s an silent epidemic. Thank you so much, Dr. Berg, for speaking up about the issue.
Silent? It’s in your face everywhere you go.
I think you’re projecting from your own usage. The average person isn’t addicted to porn.
@SimbaAliaye you must not be going to church then and visiting dubious websites.
@SimbaAliaye I don’t think he’s saying the visibility and availability of porn is silent or hidden (indeed, it’s in everyone’s face), but that the actual damage that it causes goes beyond the surface of what is spoken as the drawbacks to porn. It goes much deeper than folks realize and affects multiple areas of life. This is not vocal and publicized enough.
@user-mb4gi1ec1buntil they realise they can’t stop /denial, most males ARE, FACT,
Growing up in the 70s/80s you would never see porn but in modern times it’s everywhere.
There were only two homes in the 80s I saw any of those magazines in. And those were the creepiest and most disgusting people you can imagine. A child should NOT have been brought into those homes.
men were just using their imagination then 🤷♂
Besides is there anything that has changed during these 5-6 decades that maybe have caused more demand for xxx content?
apparently you’ve never heard of Larry Flynt and Hugh Hefner.
every spigot 24/7 and we wonder why !!!!!!!
@mrkwrblnope there were many magazines creepier than p*rn or equals to it,
Even ch*ldren includes that’s so disturbing
Wow! This is a great video! I really appreciate getting the true data on porn addiction. It is very prevalent in our society and so damaging to relationships of all kinds. I am glad to have a better understanding of what dopamine is and how it works in the body. Thanks for this important information. I hope it helps many to break free from addiction and lead healthier, happier lives.
Dr. Berg is going deep. True doctors treat the whole person.
“going deep” pun intended
Did you have to word it that way
@Xenaisthebusiness 😂
Dr Berg needs to create videos on the reality of human psychic function. He hasn’t gone there yet. 👍
Bro… really?!?!
I’m so happy to know you even broach this health issue. You are truly a blessing Dr. Berg……❤
Your phone addition is the same thing 😢
Not at all. When i was in a porn addiction, everything destroyed me. When i stopped it, i became a content creator and can love what i do. When i stopped i used social media for good things like value videos and so much more. Love it, you just need another perspective.
Not even close! Stroking the noodle, is not the same as stroking the keyboard, no way, no how… But I will agree, that both can land you in hell if you let them… A pervert is not the same as a phone freak…
@Quickened1theres nothing wrong with masturbation in moderation. Its great for your prostate
@Filthycasual17 Yeah, well, that makes you just weak for falling to your carnal instincts. If you can live without it, then it’s absolutely unnecessary and even harmful.
@Filthycasual17it’s just a reason to mastrubate, yeah mastrubation is okay but p*rn is not ,
The main urge to mastrubate comes from p*rn ,
If that is the case then u need to stop it .
Monthly once is good but p*rn should be avoided at any cost
This is one of those things I wish I could go back in time to warn my teenage self about. Parents, be active in your children’s lives.
Encouraging parents to be active with children? Disgusting.
incest is wrong, especially if even one party is too young. This is America, not Israel.
@alive28697You know what he meant.
I encourage you to delete your comment so that it doesn’t detract from the seriousness of this situation.
@alive28697wat in the world!!!!😱😱😱 where did you get all that from that comment? You need to be checked
I literally wish I could go back to when I was about 10 years old and never have seen that magazine. I still remember that first exposure to porn, 50 years later. Satan knows what he’s doing.
@alive28697 I think you may have misunderstood what he was saying. He meant to be active in your children’s lives by checking on what they are watching on their phones & social media. Pay attention to them if they start acting distant, depressed or something else feels off. He meant be a good parent by being aware of what your children are focusing on.
What I like about Dr Berg is not only he is giving advice on taking care of the body but also includes mental health as well that could trigger the body functions. Would love to hear more of this kind of mental health topics in the future!
I am free from it for over 1 year now and i will never look back❤
Proud of you.
