Your treats what it sees in reels the same way it treats ***ne. Both experiences flood a thumbnail-sized region of the with —a chemical that makes you want more, right now. The problem is that after a certain amount of dopamine hits, your brain adapts by turning down the pleasure volume. As a result, things that once made you feel good are no longer enough.

If you’re finding it harder to feel simple joy and genuine connections, you’re experiencing what addiction psychiatrists now recognize as dopamine overload, a state where constant stimulation—especially from cellphones, social media, and ultra-processed foods—quietly erodes your ability to feel your happiest emotions and leaves relationships feeling painfully empty. However, there is hope—through learning to rebalance our reward systems, we can rediscover contentment in simple things.​

One of the most effective ways to support your immune system is regular movement.

Moderate exercise improves blood flow so immune cells can circulate and do their job, stimulates lymphatic drainage to help clear waste and pathogens, lowers chronically elevated stress hormones like cortisol, and reduces low-grade inflammation that interferes with immune function.

Exercise helps your immune system respond more effectively when you’re exposed to viruses and other stressors, supporting faster, more coordinated immune responses without overstimulation.

Movement is medicine.

Most of us have experienced this: You stayed up a bit too late the night before, and although your body turned up to work, your mind was elsewhere.

Blanking out during the day is common for the sleep-deprived, and now researchers have found out why it happens.

When people experience attention lapses after poor sleep, a wave of cerebrospinal fluid flows out of the brain.

During sleep, cerebrospinal fluid—part of the brain’s cleaning system—flushes away waste products, but sleep deprivation forces this process to activate during waking hours.

“If you don’t sleep, the [cerebrospinal fluid] CSF waves start to intrude into wakefulness where normally you wouldn’t see them,” senior study author Laura Lewis, an associate professor at MIT, said in a press statement. “They come with an attentional tradeoff, where attention fails during the moments that you have this wave of fluid flow.”

You’re not eating enough , so you start a prebiotic. You feel bloated, so you add a . Your energy is dragging, so you pick up . Before you know it, you’re swallowing a handful of pills you’re not even sure are working—and honestly, your gut still feels off.

Gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz said that such a scattershot approach is why many people see little benefit from supplements—and that a personalized plan is the way to go.

“Gut health should be a daily priority for literally everyone, and supplements are a part of that package,” he told The Epoch Times. “I wouldn’t argue it’s the number one thing, but strong, strategic supplementation is an opportunity to improve our health starting today.”

Supplements can be potent. The right one at the right time, taken correctly alongside a healthy diet and lifestyle, can help improve gut motility and bowel movements, strengthen the immune system, optimize sleep, and lower inflammation. Supplements can also be weak or inappropriate, amounting to little more than expensive urine.

Modern medicine is amazing. Surgery repairs shattered bones. A trip to the cath lab stops a heart attack mid-stream. Antibiotics clear infections that once meant certain death. These advances have extended life in ways our grandparents could never have imagined.

And yet, somewhere along the way, American medicine lost something essential. We gained powerful tools and technical precision, but surrendered much of the human presence that once put the “care” in health care.

Dr. Frank Ittleman put it plainly when he told me he worries doctors have lost the ability to “deal with the complexities of the soul.” That line stayed with me. It captures the heart of the article I wrote this week.

Today’s medical visits move fast. Doctors spend nearly two hours on screens for every hour with patients. Most people are interrupted within 11 seconds of starting to speak. Touch, a hand on the shoulder that once said “I’m here,” is now rare.

That loss of connection carries real consequences. Patients who see the same doctor over time live longer and face fewer hospitalizations. Yet fewer than half of U.S. adults have had the same primary care provider for five years or more, trailing other wealthy countries.

The past was hardly perfect, but today’s care has become deeply fragmented. Despite medical progress, U.S. life expectancy hovers around 79 years, lagging behind peer nations. Chronic disease, opioid deaths, suicides, and deeper system failures have slowed progress, even as spending soars.

But some physicians are pushing back. Direct primary care and concierge models let doctors care for fewer patients, spend real time in visits, and stay reachable by phone or message. Functional health and naturopathic practices are expanding. Medical training, too, is beginning to return to basics: unhurried listening, intentional touch, seeing the person rather than the problem.

Slowly, trust is rebuilding.

True healing asks more of doctors and patients. Presence may just be the medicine we’ve left behind.

The effects of 12 weeks of chiropractic on physiological biomarkers in adults: A pragmatic

12 weeks of care modulates linked to , , and .

Increases in brain-derived neurotrophic factor and interleukin-6 suggest enhanced neuroplasticity and inflammatory responses, while decreases in tumor necrosis factor-alpha indicate a regulatory effect on systemic inflammation.

These findings support the notion that chiropractic care modulates physiological systemic biomarkers, which may underscore its benefits on clinical outcomes.
