I think most people spend more time than they would like looking at screens.

On average people spend 3hrs looking at their phones each day. 51% check their phone a couple of times per hour and 22% every few minutes. That`s 1 in 5 people.

In this podcast Matt looks at the consequences that all this screen time is having on our physical and mental well-being, he also sheds light on the ways tech companies are manipulating us to spend more time staring mindlessly and how this supports the attention economy worth a staggering 7 trillion dollars (yes trillion)

The podcast contains plenty of tips and suggestions on how we can start taking back control around our use of technology. Use technology to serve you rather than it use you.

Intermittent fasting (time restricted feeding) has been popular for the last decade but isn’t a new thing.

In this episode Matt looks at the history of fasting and why it has become so popular again. Matt then discusses the recent research which suggests the benefits of time restricted feeding are more to do with our circadian rhythm and health rather than weight loss. 

This episode gives lots of practical advice on possible feeding windows people might want to use and why time restricted feeding is not necessarily for everyone.
