How Paddling Resets the Modern Brain explores why stepping into a canoe may be one of the most powerful antidotes to the hyper‑digital, overstimulated world we live in. Drawing from Indigenous teachings and emerging clinical research, the episode shows how the rhythmic act of paddling grounds the mind, reconnects identity, and restores cognitive balance. Listeners will learn how culture acts as a compass while nature quiets the biological “noise” that fuels stress and addiction. Through stories, science, and lived experience, we uncover why people feel more focused, resilient, and emotionally regulated after time on the water. Ultimately, the episode argues that the path to modern recovery may begin with a paddle, a shoreline, and a return to who we are.
