I'm down for it.

I'm down for it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think ADHD is a fascinating topic for our world. I think it's something that many humans may have had for thousands of years. I think there would have always been a subset of society that potentially had this lowered baseline dopamine level. There's a brilliant scientist called Volkow who's done like a lot of research into ADHD and dopamine levels.

And you see with those that are genetically born with ADHD that they might have a lower production of dopamine within their brain.

so there's that element of the genetic component we in our modern world with all the things we've been discussing of social media and porn and sugar are really disrupting this pathway so we have some people that are exhibiting it as a result of their genes from when they're born and a lot of people are also exhibiting it as a result of the altered modern lifestyle

regardless of the cause, it really does create a lot of difficulty for people's lives of inattention and lack of action and procrastination. And it's extremely important that we begin to get it in check and help these people to thrive.

There is for sure. And this is where it gets really fascinating. I do a lot of events around schools and we have them a lot with ADHD. And I also grew up as a young guy with ADHD without necessarily knowing it. It wasn't diagnosed as frequently back then.

But I grew up with real difficulty in school, massive inattention, big highs, big lows, a very like addictive personality to anything I engaged with, whether it was healthy stuff or unhealthy stuff. And I began really investigating this world of if someone has ADHD, how can they thrive? Partly selfishly out of like, I really wanted to get going. I wanted a business and I wanted to be able to serve.

And I began thinking a lot about our ancestors. The whole of the dose effect is built upon our brain spent 300,000 years running around out there, hunting and building and making fire and connecting as small groups, 300,000 years. And nowadays we've spent about 30 years as modern sedentary digital humans. And you can imagine for our bright biochemistry, that's pretty tricky, that change.

If you were to look at a hunter-gatherer and they grew up with ADHD, for example, so say they had genetically low dopamine, they got to like seven, eight years old, and suddenly they're expected to contribute. Maybe they had to start the fire one night, maybe they had to hunt, build, make the food, whatever it may be.
