Ep 052: The Hidden Health Cost of Distraction (and How to Fight Back)


Listen Later

If you're constantly overwhelmed, yet unsure where all your time goes, you're not alone! In this raw and refreshingly honest episode of the Nutritional Therapy & Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz pulls back the curtain on digital distraction, multitasking, overcommitting, and how our chaotic, screen-saturated world is silently draining our energy, metabolism, focus, joy - - - and our overall vitality. More importantly, this episode walks you though what to do to get started with SOLUTIONS.

 

With stats like the average person checking their phone 150+ times a day, Jamie uncovers how our constant dopamine-driven behaviors—from email whack-a-mole and social media time vacuums to productive procrastination and online shopping—are wrecking our nervous systems, gut health, blood sugar regulation, sleep cycles, and even our relationships. She shares vulnerable stories from her own life and offers a hope-filled blueprint to reclaim your time, restore discipline, and start living with intention and vitality again.

 

This episode dives deep into:

 

  • The health consequences of chronic distraction
  • How boundaries and discipline create freedom
  • Why multitasking and over-researching sabotage your health goals
  • Practical swaps to support your Foundations of Health: digestion, blood sugar, stress, sleep, movement, and a nutrient-dense diet
  • A personal challenge to join Jamie in three weeks (Upcoming Episode 55!) as she begins her own Distraction Detox.

 

Whether you’re a practitioner, a parent, or simply someone craving more clarity and peace, this episode is your invitation to slow down, simplify, and reconnect with what truly matters.

 

Listen now and take the first step toward a more grounded, focused, and nourished life.
