This week, we speak with author, public speaker, Harvard-trained addictions specialist, medical doctor, and behavioural science expert, Dr. Shimi Kang.

In the episode, Dr. Kang tells host Tracy Giesz-Ramsay about her latest book, The Tech Solution, where she advocates that children are taught to be more mindful of their social media and device use (favouring connection with friends over mindless scrolling). She also explains the neuroscience behind habit formation (What does dopamine actually do?) and how, even though we know what we all need to be happier and healthier (read: community, outdoor play, healthy food, and breath awareness) we can implement these as daily habits in our lives.

Dr. Kang graduated with Distinction and Honors in Research from Medical School at the University of Alberta. She later gained frontline experience as a primary care physician while working in Vancouver as well as at a charitable hospital in rural India. She trained in psychiatry at the University of British Columbia and completed a Clinical Research Fellowship at the Addiction Research Program, Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard University in Boston. Dr. Kang also examined global health issues at the World Health Organization, in Geneva, Switzerland. Her list of accomplishments is endless (see drshimikang.com/bio!) and we are beyond grateful to bring her words to you!
