Modern dating has created more ways to meet people than ever before, yet many individuals still find themselves repeating the same relationship patterns. Endless swiping, disappointing connections, and emotional burnout have become familiar experiences, leading many to wonder whether lasting love is simply a matter of luck.
Red Thread Labs believes the answer is no. Founded by J.D. Carlston and Chick Adams, the research and practice company is introducing Love Labs, an innovative program built on a different premise: the ability to create lasting love can be developed by retraining the nervous system.
Looking Beyond Chemistry
Conventional dating advice often encourages people to search harder for the right partner. Red Thread Labs challenges that perspective by shifting the focus inward. Rather than asking where to find love, the company asks why people are repeatedly attracted to the same unhealthy dynamics.
According to the founders, attraction is not simply an emotional response or a matter of compatibility. It is influenced by deeply rooted nervous system patterns that shape how people connect, communicate, and build relationships.
Love Labs was designed to help participants recognize those hidden patterns and intentionally reshape them through guided, experiential learning. The company’s promise is captured in its tagline, “Cherished and Chosen,” reflecting its belief that lasting relationships begin with becoming emotionally capable of creating them.
Bringing Research Into Real Life
Launching this fall in Salt Lake City, Love Labs will introduce participants to immersive, in person learning experiences that combine relationship education with practical exercises. The program is designed to help individuals gain relationship clarity, retrain their neuroattractive patterns, strengthen emotional awareness, and develop healthier ways of connecting with others.
The initiative reflects years of research and practice conducted by Red Thread Labs, supported by scientific advisors including Dr. Melissa Ditmore, the late Rev. Dr. Robert Dee McDonald, the late Dr. Carolyn Elliott, somatic practitioner Dani Granaroli, and a network of embodiment experts and professional coaches. Together, they have contributed to a framework grounded in decades of research into attachment and human relationships.
The founders say these methods have already helped participants experience greater happiness and deeper relationship understanding, paving the way for the public launch of Love Labs.
A Different Definition of Attraction
For J.D. Carlston, the company’s mission is ultimately about helping people rewrite the unconscious patterns that influence every relationship they build.
“Deep down, everyone wants to be neuroattractive, cherished and chosen for who they are, by people that they love. Not everyone believes it’s possible. Our protocol shows you how to develop the traits that attract, and keep, the love of your life,” Carlston says.
Rather than positioning love as something people stumble upon, Red Thread Labs presents it as a lifelong practice of emotional growth and intentional connection.
As conversations around loneliness and relationship wellbeing continue to evolve, Love Labs offers a fresh perspective. Instead of encouraging people to search for someone who completes them, it invites them to become someone who is prepared to build lasting love.
