RESOURCES MENTIONEDFunction Health comprehensive lab panel I used My weekly planning videoI tried to “slow down” because I was bored with my work… and it actually made me feel worse. In this video I share what six weeks of experimenting taught me about ADHD boredom cycles, nervous system dysregulation, and why rest can feel unsafe when your brain is stuck in go-mode.Why boredom hits every few years and makes us want to blow up our livesWhen “slow living” spikes anxiety instead of easing itThe labs that clarified what was physiological vs psychologicalGentle routines that actually helped my energy and moodHow I’m rebuilding structure without white-knuckling productivityA kinder way to decide what to keep, tweak, or let goThis video is for you if…You’re ADHD-ish and get bored with your work on a 2–5 year cycleRest makes you antsy and you “can’t not do things”You suspect stress hormones are part of the pictureYou want calm structure and momentum without burning outYou crave more humanity online and less performative hustle
