Definition of «dopamine fasting»

While it sounds scientific, in internet slang it refers to the practice of avoiding all 'cheap' thrills like social media, gaming, and junk food to 'reset' the brain's reward system. It is frequently discussed in self-improvement and 'grindset' communities as a way to regain focus and productivity. The term is often used with a mix of genuine sincerity and lighthearted mockery of extreme wellness trends.
