Kacee Markarian
GLP-1 Guide & Dopamine Behavior Consultant
Kacee bridges neuroscience, psychology and real life experience to help you break the trance of compulsive behaviors, reconnect with your body, and trust yourself again.
From Trance to Empowered Stance
Have you ever felt like something takes over—like you’re watching yourself reach for food, scroll endlessly, or chase the next dopamine hit without knowing why?
You're not alone.
In fact, what you're experiencing is dopamining—your brain’s natural, biologically driven search for pleasure, comfort, and relief.
But here’s the kicker:
That same drive that leads to compulsive eating, food noise, and shame spirals?
It’s not your fault.
It’s neurobiology. And it's changeable.
At Dopamining Demystified, we explore the powerful intersection of brain science, behavior, and culture. If you've struggled with binge eating, ADHD, food fixation, or compulsive habits, you're not broken—you’re wired to seek reward in a world that exploits that wiring.
This work isn’t about restriction or willpower. It’s about:
Understanding your cues and cravings
Disrupting trance-like behavior patterns
Reclaiming your relationship with food and body from diet culture
Returning to homeostasis—your internal balance point
Your body is not a problem to solve.
Let’s explore a different way forward, rooted in neuroscience, compassion, and lived experience.
dopamining
verb | do·pa·min·ing /ˈdō-pə-ˌmīn-iŋ/
The act of seeking quick relief, stimulation, or pleasure — often through behaviors like binge eating, scrolling, shopping, or other habits that light up the brain’s dopamine reward system.
A survival strategy wired into the nervous system, especially during times of stress, boredom, or emotional discomfort.
A term that brings compassion and clarity to behaviors that are often misunderstood or judged.
“I wasn’t being lazy or undisciplined — I was dopamining. Now I understand what my brain was really needing.”
demystified
adjective | de·mys·ti·fied /dē-ˈmi-stə-ˌfīd/
Made clear and understandable; stripped of jargon, shame, or confusion.
A way of approaching complex topics — like dopamine, food behaviors, or medication support — with grounded language and practical insight.
A core value: helping people reconnect with their inner wisdom by replacing overwhelm with knowledge they can trust.
“Once it was demystified, I stopped blaming myself and started making changes that actually stuck.”
Real Talk.
Tired of obsessing over food?
Sick of starting over every Monday? Or every New Year?

About Kacee
I'm Kacee Markarian, a lifestyle consultant and behavioral coach, backed by a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and a personal journey of overcoming binge eating disorder through mining for cutting edge knowledge along with creative experimentation to manifest transformation in mind and body. My approach blends neuroscience, psychology, and practical tools for real-life change.
I believe that understanding your brain’s dopamine system isn’t just about science — it’s about empowerment. Many of the patterns driving binge eating formed long before conscious awareness, often before we even had words to describe our emotions. When food becomes a primary source of comfort early in life, it can create automatic responses that feel impossible to control. But when you learn how these mechanisms work, you gain the ability to reshape your habits, heal your relationship with food, and make choices aligned with your goals.
Let’s work together to demystify dopamine and reclaim your well-being.
