Why you can’t stop at one bite

Good morning friends,

Ever wonder why some people can eat one square of chocolate and feel satisfied—while others finish the whole bar and still want more?

There’s actually a genetic reason for that.

And once you understand it, you can take back control.

The dopamine connection

Your brain’s reward chemical is dopamine, it drives motivation, pleasure, and satisfaction.

But how your brain responds to dopamine depends on your DRD2 gene.

Here’s what we know:

• GG type = the binger
You’re highly sensitive to dopamine, which can make you more vulnerable to overindulgence—especially with food, sugar, or stimulants.

• AG type = the balanced one
You enjoy life’s pleasures without losing control. Your brain has a healthy sensitivity to reward.

• AA type = the seeker
Fewer dopamine receptors mean you’re always chasing that next hit. But with the right strategy, this drive can be channelled into focus, ambition, and success.

Your genes aren’t your destiny—just your blueprint
When you know your dopamine type, you can build the environment that supports you.

• GG types need structure and boundaries
• AA types thrive with healthy rewards and long-term goals
• AG types? Keep doing what’s working

The truth is, cravings aren’t a lack of willpower—they’re often a mismatch between your biology and your lifestyle.
