💔 Is it love? Or just dopamine with bad lighting?
This Valentine's Day special hits DIFFERENT. Dr. John Tsuang aka JT Love (addiction psychiatrist / human behavior decoder) joins Dana to break down:
✅ Why your "situationship" is a case study
✅ The 50/50 gene-environment split on addiction
✅ Why rebounds are basically relationship relapses
✅ How to NOT marry the first fish you pull out of the MUD
Hollywood lied. Love does NOT conquer all. But compatibility? That's the real MVP.

Hide your exes. This one's gonna sting (in the best way).
