Kyle Buchanan

Hey friend -  my name is Kyle Buchanan and although I talk nutrition and health for a living nowadays   - whether through talks, videos, or as a resident contributor on Canada's "The Morning Show", it was NOT that long ago that I was an anxious, drunken, closeted, self-doubty wreck. Being a grown up is tough, and messy - where we’re confident one day and anxiety-ridden the next. I don't like faking it. I DO however, like getting it all out in the open, laughing about it, and then exploring a few tools that can help us feel better if (and only if) we are in the mood. So whether it’s solo episodes or honest conversations with spectacular guests -this show is the blend of revelations, self-help, knowledge and gay magic that NO one asked for, but everyone needs. And I'm so glad you're here.

    Why You Can’t Focus Anymore (And What Actually Helps) with Dr. Zelana Montminy

    If you feel like your ability to focus has completely disappeared lately - you’re not imagining it. If your attention span feels shorter, your mind feels scattered, or you’re constantly jumping from one thing to the next without ever feeling done… you’re not alone. And no - it’s not because you’re lazy, broken, or “bad at focus.” In today’s episode, we’re talking about why focusing feels harder than ever, what’s actually happening inside our brains, and how we can begin to reclaim our attention without burning ourselves out in the process. I’m joined by renowned behavioural scientist Dr. Zilana Montminy, author of Finding Focus: Own Your Attention in an Age of Distraction. Together, we explore why so many of us feel constantly behind, scattered, and mentally exhausted - and what we can actually do about it. In this episode, we explore: ✔️ Why it feels harder than ever to focus (and why it’s not your fault) ✔️ The real reason multitasking is draining your energy and attention ✔️ How constant distraction quietly erodes our sense of meaning and presence ✔️ The difference between attention, concentration, and focus,  and why it matters ✔️ Why urgency culture keeps us stuck in survival mode ✔️ How boundaries protect your energy more than motivation ever could ✔️ Why focus isn’t about discipline — it’s about design ✔️ Small, realistic ways to rebuild your attention without overwhelm As always, feel free to email me at info@kylebuchanan.ca for any questions or topics you'd like to see covered on this show. Thank you for being part of this space.
