My guest today is Anna Lembke, MD. Dr. Lembke is a professor of psychiatry at Stanford University School of Medicine and chief of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic. A clinician scholar, she has published more than a hundred peer-reviewed papers, book chapters, and commentaries. She sits on the board of several state and national addiction-focused organizations, has testified before various committees in the United States House of Representatives and Senate, keeps an active speaking calendar, and maintains a thriving clinical practice.

Her new book, Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence was an instant New York Times Bestseller, and explores how to moderate compulsive overconsumption in a dopamine-overloaded world.
Some of the topics we explore include:
- Dr. Lembke’s path through medical school and psychiatry training
- Early lessons learned about substance use and addiction
- The neurobiological overlap between addictive and compulsive behavior
- How Dr. Lembke navigates some of the highly stimulating parts of the modern world
- Childhood development and technology
- The way compulsive overconsumption can lead to a dopamine deficit state
- What it’s like having Dopamine Nation be so well known
- What matters most to Dr. Lembke in her life today
