We spend hours a day staring at screens… but what if it’s doing way more damage than we realize?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Eugene Lipov — a physician and PTSD specialist who’s worked with military veterans, special forces operators, and trauma patients for decades — to talk about what phones, social media, doomscrolling, and constant digital stimulation are actually doing to our brains.

And honestly? This conversation hit home.

We talk about:

• Why screen addiction behaves like any other addiction
• How social media is affecting sleep, anxiety, inflammation, and mental health
• Why people feel constantly overwhelmed and unable to focus
• The connection between technology and PTSD-like symptoms
• Why kids having unlimited access to phones should terrify parents
• The “brain rot” phenomenon and shrinking attention spans
• How stepping away from screens can dramatically change your physical and mental health

Dr. Lipov also explains his push to change the term PTSD to PTSI (“post-traumatic stress injury”) to remove stigma and help more people seek treatment.

We also get into psychedelics, ibogaine, psilocybin, trauma recovery, and some of the cutting-edge treatments being explored right now.

Check out Dr. Lipov’s book:
“Brain on Fire: Doomscrolling and What To Do About It” (available now on Amazon + audiobook)
