Some people say we’ve lost our ability to focus because ADHD is on the rise.

Others say the real problem is dopamine addiction — and that a detox is the only fix.

And some are convinced it’s unresolved childhood trauma disrupting our attention.

I wanted to find out for myself… and what I discovered was surprising.

Because: There’s actually one shared mechanism in the brain behind all three.

In today’s video, we’ll uncover what that is — and how you can finally reclaim a laser-sharp focus.
