In this episode Dr. K explains why modern feeds are not trying to entertain you, they are trying to keep you bored. He breaks down boredom as a dopamine craving and withdrawal state, how short form platforms train your brain into tolerance, and why normal activities stop feeling fun. Then he shows how to reverse it by allowing boredom so your receptors upregulate, your sensitivity returns, and everyday life becomes enjoyable again. He also covers the temporary spike in stored anxiety and low mood that can surface during this reset and how to handle it safely.

Dr. K breaks down why so many people feel like they “peaked” in their 20s and quietly stall out in their late 20s and 30s. He explains how early life is driven by external expectations, achievement checklists, and making other people proud, and why that motivational system collapses once you are out of school, into a job, or stuck in a life that looks fine on paper but feels empty inside.

Instead of more productivity hacks, Dr. K walks through how identity actually forms, why some people get trapped in paths they never truly chose, and how to rebuild real internal drive using evidence based principles. This episode is a practical roadmap for anyone who feels lost, plateaued, or terrified they already lived the “best” part of their life.

Dr. K sits down with Dr. Zac Seidler for an unfiltered discussion about the modern male crisis like how societal expectations around strength, success, and emotional restraint are leaving men isolated, angry, and quietly collapsing inside. Together they unpack how men are taught to earn love through performance, how shame hides under humor and burnout, and why mental health systems often fail to reach them.

In the second half, Dr. K explores deeper layers of male identity: how purpose collapses when external validation fades, the spiritual hunger behind modern depression, and how men can rebuild meaning through discipline, vulnerability, and connection. This is one of the most nuanced conversations yet about what’s really happening beneath the “men’s mental health” crisis.

Dr. K unpacks the growing debate around acetaminophen (Tylenol) and its possible link to autism while cutting through the noise of headlines, political statements, and online panic. He explains what the data actually shows, why correlation doesn’t equal causation, and how confounding variables like maternal illness, age, and chronic conditions can completely change how we interpret these studies.

Using his background as both a psychiatrist and medical researcher, Dr. K breaks down what autism really is—a neurodevelopmental spectrum shaped by thousands of subtle genetic and environmental factors. He dives into how modern healthcare has unintentionally increased autism diagnoses through both better detection and the survival of high-risk births. The episode also examines the role of SSRIs, infections, and chronic illness in influencing risk, and why oversimplifying the problem could lead to worse outcomes.

Topics include:

What autism actually is and why it’s a spectrum, not a single disorder

Why autism rates are rising with better diagnosis vs. real risk factors

The Tylenol connection: what studies really say about acetaminophen use in pregnancy

Confounding variables: how illness and infection skew the data

The role of maternal/paternal age, chronic illness, and environmental exposure

SSRIs, pregnancy, and how risk statistics are often misunderstood

Why demonizing one factor (like Tylenol) can cause more harm than good

This episode offers a calm, science-based perspective on a heated topic reminding us that complex conditions like autism rarely have a single cause, and that real understanding requires nuance, not fear.

The episode becomes less about one streamer and more about the state of digital discourse itself. Dr. K explores the neuroscience of emotional triggers, the human obsession with novelty and hypocrisy, and how resentment and projection fuel mob dynamics online.

Topics include:

This episode blends cultural commentary with deep psychological insight which turns a Twitch controversy into a lesson on human cognition, empathy, and the modern attention economy.
