This podcast discusses various natural alternatives to increase dopamine levels, such as L-tyrosine, PEA, phenylethylamine, and huperzine, which tap into dopaminergic and cholinergic circuits without spiking dopamine levels like prescription drugs.

Summary
This podcast discusses various natural alternatives to increase dopamine levels, such as L-tyrosine, PEA, phenylethylamine, and huperzine, which tap into dopaminergic and cholinergic circuits without spiking dopamine levels like prescription drugs. The podcast also warns against exogenous melatonin and promotes the use of compounds like mucunipurines as a lesser-known, but effective way to increase dopamine.
