What is the biggest struggle with brain health today?
You've got a book called The Dose Effect, which is about small habits to boost your brain chemistry. And the first thing I asked you off-camera was, what is the biggest struggle that humanity is really faced with right now in this season of life? And you said ADHD. The lack of attention to really life and being able to be present, focused on their lives, being distracted a lot.

What do you think is the main cause of ADHD right now? And also what is the superpower that people with ADHD have if they lean into it?
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.

There's a brilliant scientist called Volkow who's done like a lot of research into ADHD and dopamine levels.
