In this thought-provoking episode, Jeff sits down with Dr. David Pash, a mental health expert with decades of experience in U.S. health systems, to dive deep into the escalating mental health crisis facing both adults and youth in the West.

Together, Jeff and Dave explore alarming trends in depression, anxiety, addiction, and the impact of social isolation—tracing the ripple effects from societal shifts, technology use, and especially the fallout from the COVID-19 lockdowns. They unpack how modern conveniences like social media and smart devices can lead to dopamine addiction, loss of resilience, and a broader “lack of thriving” that stretches beyond just medical diagnoses.
