Episode 67 | Your Information Diet

Listen Later

Take a moment to think about all the content you consume in a day:

Social media feeds. YouTube videos. News cycles. TV shows. Books. Podcasts.

That’s your information diet.

We spend a lot of time thinking about what we eat, how we move, and how we sleep because we understand those shape our bodies.

But your brain doesn’t treat content as neutral.

Everything you consume is shaping you in some way.

In this episode, Emily and Evie explore how content functions as part of your environment and why your brain diet deserves just as much intention as your food diet.

 

Episode Highlights:

  • The concept of an “information diet”

  • What brain nourishment looks like during stress or recovery

  • The emotional tone of what you read and watch

  • Why pace (not just content) affects your nervous system

  • The cultural rise of “brain rot”

  • Practical ways to build a brain-supporting content mix

    • Helpful Links:

    Barrow Neurological Institute Brain Games

     

    Quick Win:

    A simple reflection:

    1. Notice

    How does your content make you feel?

    2. Name

    • One brain-supporting input you already have

    • One brain-taxing input that’s no longer serving you

      • 3. List

      What could replace it?

      No immediate action required.
