ULTIMATE Guide to DOPAMINE DETOX

Nutritional Support
• Mucuna Puriens – L-dopa. Dopamine precursor
• Beta Phenylethylamine (PEA) – Modulates the nigrostriatal pathway and stimulates dopamine release. – Influences Beta endorphins.
• Blueberry extract – Antioxidants for dopamine producing neurons.
• D, L – Phenylalanine – Amino acid precursor for dopamine. Both the D and the L versions together helps with pain modulation, depression and dopamine modulation.
• N-acetyl-tyrosine – Amino acid that is a precursor for dopamine.
• Pyridoxal – 5 – Phosphate – Critical in dopamine creation.
• Glutathione cofactors – Prevents cellular oxidative stress.

Catabolism of Dopamine
Dopamine-------------------Methyl Donors(Betaine, folic acid, B12, trimethylglycine) + Magnesium and COMT(Catechol-O-Methyltransferase)

**Synthesis and Release impacted by: Dysglycemia, lack of oxygen, B6 insufficient, iron anemia, folic acid(folate), Methylation, liver disease(promote phenylalanine hydroxlase)
**Receptor binding and sensitivity: testosterone sensitizes dopamine receptors, progesterone sensitizes dopamine receptors
**Termination of the signal: Methylation and magnesium insufficiency(cofactors for COMT)

1. Cold Plunge- increase 200% Long arc of dopamine== cocaine
2. Exercise-100-200% long arc of dopamine
3. Intermittent fasting
4. Abstaining-all social media, video games, pornography, ice cream, chocolate, energy drinks/stimulants, gambling.
5. Read, mediation, saunas, nature

Dietary support for Dopamine
1. Avoid junk food
2. High protein diet-influences transport carrier (LNAA) to increase delivery of dopamine precursors. Dysglycemia will impact LNAA
3. Increase the consumption of foods rich in phenylalanine-proper insulin response is crucial. Foods: Beef, cheese, chocolate, eggs, fish, oats, pork, turkey

Avoid for 30 days from that gives you pleasure. Dr. Anna Lembke

D ata-what is the patient doing. How much and how often?
O bjectives-why are patients using the activity?
P roblems-what is not going right about the consumption of habit impact on life

M indfulness-mediation, observing your thoughts
I nsight-patient realization moment
N ext Steps-who will they go back to using the “phone” changing the relationship, limitation of time or usage.
E xperiment-with behavior.
