Why You Crave Dopamine: The DRD2 & DRD4 Gene Connection

Why do you crave dopamine—and what do your genes have to do with it? In this video, board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner Jezel Rosa breaks down the science behind two key dopamine receptor genes: DRD2 and DRD4. Learn how these genes influence your motivation, mood, focus, and even your risk for impulsivity, addiction, or burnout. We’ll also cover practical, holistic strategies to support dopamine balance—no matter your genetic blueprint. Whether you’re navigating ADHD, emotional eating, or just want to optimize your mental wellness, this is your dopamine deep dive. 🔬 Featuring: DRD2 Taq1A, DRD4 7R allele, dopamine deficiency, and how BDNF and COMT genes also come into play. 📌 Skills before pills.
