Reclaim focus, attention, and connection in a world dominated by screens.

The tools meant to connect us are making us lonelier.

Dr. Mitika Kanabar, MD MPH DFASAM, is a Stanford-trained addiction medicine physician and internationally recognized speaker on digital addiction, screen overuse, and the crisis of human disconnection in the modern workplace.

With over a decade of global speaking experience, she brings a rare combination of clinical experience, published research, and ancient Indian philosophy to every stage, delivering talks that fundamentally shift how leaders think about technology, attention, and presence.

Dr. Kanabar’s work sits at the intersection of addiction medicine and lifestyle medicine. As a Distinguished Fellow of the American Society of Addiction Medicine (DFASAM) and a triple board-certified physician, she translates complex brain science into actionable insight for corporate audiences, healthcare organizations, and leadership teams worldwide.

Her keynotes explore why our screens hijack the similar neural pathways as substance use, why your team’s cognitive overload and memory loss isn’t aging, it’s the time we spend online. A Sanskrit student, she explains what ancient wisdom traditions understood about attention that modern science is only now confirming.
