Over the last ten years I’ve seen a dramatic drop in the ability of my students to pay attention for long enough to understand what I would call a medium-level concept. Ten years ago I would say that about 15-20% of my class wouldn’t have the attention span to understand these ideas. Now it’s more like 80%.  That's been shocking for me.

Dopamine depletion is the neurological crisis of our time. Chronic cell phone use is contributing to increasing rates of ADHD, decreasing life satisfaction, learning capability and the reduced ability to think critically, reflect and have agency in our lives.

For about a year now I've been reasearching and developing Dopamine Lab, a series of workshops which introduce participants to research-backed ways to increase baseline dopamine and regulate dopamine levels naturally.

Do you know anyone who could benefit from this?  Please let them know.  The first Lab starts in a couple of weeks.

More broadly I'm researching applied mindfulness and have a suite of programmes that will be released over the next 6 months aiming to support the reduction of stress, anxiety and pain and increase of baseline dopamine, motivation and self-compassion.  You can follow me at Core Health & Wellness on Facebook, Instagram, or sign up for my email newsletter at core.wellness.nz@gmail.com.
