Description:
Are you living on a leash? Three out of four Americans use their phones on the toilet—and 96% of Gen Z can't even go to the bathroom without them. In this eye-opening episode of The Teen Health Revolution, we dive into how tech addiction is destroying teen potential, sleep, mental health, and even physical well-being.
From chronic inflammation linked to excessive scrolling to the spiritual crisis caused by constant connectivity, we break down the real consequences of our phone-based lives. But more importantly, we share practical strategies to set tech limits, reclaim your attention, and take back control.
Topics covered:
-
Why tech companies have us hooked (and how to break free)
-
The physical toll: back pain, eye strain, insomnia & inflammation
-
Social media's impact on mental health & spirituality
-
Practical tech limits that actually work
-
Sleep hygiene in the digital age
Perfect for teens navigating screen time struggles and parents looking to guide their kids toward healthier tech habits.
