In the latest In episode of The Reconnection Revolution, I sit down with Neuro – Performance Scientist Dr. Kristy Goodwin – to unravel the hidden impacts of technology on our lives. Discover the shocking truth behind “digital debt”: Did you know that workers spend 57% of their day on non-essential tasks like emails and meetings? This leaves barely any time for deep, focused work.We dive deep into how tech is affecting young people’s mental health, spotlighting three crucial areas: connection, sleep, and physical movement.

Learn why those seemingly harmless DMs and snaps can actually spike your cortisol levels (yes, the stress hormone!).

Dr. Goodwin breaks down the physiological toll of our screen habits and shares a surprising tip: regular sighing can help regulate stress.We also explore “techno stress” and how our ancient brains are reacting to constant digital notifications as if we’re facing predators.

Don’t miss this eye-opening conversation on how our digital habits are fostering loneliness and disconnection—and how we can reclaim genuine human connection in a tech-saturated world.
