    What Nobody Tells You About Your 30's

    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. Topics include: Feeling like you peaked in your 20s and why motivation fades in your 30s External validation, people pleasing, and the “noiseless” identity crisis Exploration vs commitment and how foreclosure keeps you stuck Letting go of sunk costs and the fear of starting over Self determination theory: autonomy, competence, and relatedness How to choose for yourself instead of chasing “right” and “wrong” paths Building competence by stretching your limits, not just performing well Why your relationships feel hollow when you do not know who you are Using feedback from others to solidify a more authentic identity Why the solution is not optimization supplements but discovering who you are HG Coaching : ⁠https://bit.ly/46bIkdo⁠ Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health: ⁠https://bit.ly/44z3Szt⁠ HG Memberships : ⁠https://bit.ly/3TNoMVf⁠ Products & Services : ⁠https://bit.ly/44kz7x0⁠ HealthyGamer.GG: ⁠https://bit.ly/3ZOopgQ Learn more about your ad choices.

    An Honest Talk About Male Pressure & Depression ft. Dr. Zac Seidler @Movember

    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. Topics include: The hidden link between masculinity, depression, and social isolation How humor, anger, and overwork mask emotional pain Why traditional therapy often misses how men communicate distress The collapse of meaning and identity in modern male life Dr. K’s framework for purpose and inner alignment Building connection without losing strength or autonomy What real progress for men’s mental health should look like today HG Coaching : https://bit.ly/46bIkdo Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health: https://bit.ly/44z3Szt HG Memberships : https://bit.ly/3TNoMVf Products & Services : https://bit.ly/44kz7x0 HealthyGamer.GG: https://bit.ly/3ZOopgQ Learn more about your ad choices.

    The State of Mental Illness in 2025

    In this special World Mental Health Day stream, Dr. K explores why mental illness continues to rise even as awareness, therapy, and neuroscience have advanced. He connects the dots between modern lifestyles, constant stimulation, and a growing disconnection from the body. Using insights from both Western psychiatry and Vedic psychology, Dr. K explains how anxiety, burnout, and attention issues are symptoms of a deeper imbalance. The conversation blends brain science with practical tools for rewiring habits and developing real resilience. Topics include: Why mental health is declining despite more treatment options How technology and constant stimulation mimic ADHD symptoms The role of panic, urgency, and emotional reactivity in shaping attention Practical steps for retraining motivation through small, low-pressure actions Understanding “phantom panic” and how to regulate the nervous system The link between breath, CO₂ balance, and anxiety How diet and the gut–brain connection influence mood Combining therapy, medication, and mind–body practices Meditation as a long-term way to build focus and emotional stability HG Coaching : ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/46bIkdo⁠⁠ Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health: ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/44z3Szt⁠⁠ HG Memberships : ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3TNoMVf⁠⁠ Products & Services : ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/44kz7x0⁠⁠ HealthyGamer.GG: ⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3ZOopgQ⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

    Dr.K Explains Tylenol and Autism

    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.

    Dr.K Reacts To Collargate

    Dr. K takes a grounded, psychological look at “Collargate,” the viral controversy surrounding Hasan Piker and his dog. Rather than judging individuals, he unpacks what the internet’s reaction reveals about collective psychology, why outrage spreads, how mentalization fails, and how online radicalization erodes empathy. 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: Why internet outrage cycles (like “Collargate”) dominate attention and emotion How emotional reactivity overrides critical thinking and creates echo chambers The concept of mentalization—understanding others’ motives before judging How failure of dialogue and empathy drives polarization and radicalization The neuroscience of memes, emotional engagement, and belief formation Projection, resentment, and the need to “see justice” when power feels unaccountable The dangers of black-and-white thinking, selection bias, and narrative fixation Dr. K’s reflections on empathy, dialogue, and how creators can respond to public backlash 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.
