S2 Ep25. Screens, Stress & The Gut - Finding Digital Harmony


Listen Later

Love or Hate Social Media and our Modern Technology - it has found a permanent place in our lives and world. On one hand, it connects, educates, and inspires. On the other — it can distract, overwhelm, isolate, and overstimulate.
.
In this episode, I share my honest reflections on why I stepped back from Instagram, why LinkedIn feels more aligned for me, and my concerns about the growing reliance on AI in the entrepreneurial world.
More importantly, I dive into what this all means for our bodies — particularly the gut. From blue light exposure disturbing sleep and hormonal rhythms, stress from constant digital noise affecting the gut-brain axis, to the lack of real human interaction in a screen-saturated world… our digital habits are not just a mindset issue, they’re a gut health issue.
Key themes explored:
The love/hate relationship with social platforms
How stress and constant overstimulation affect digestion and the gut-brain axis
Growing dependency on AI and the impact on our Planet
The Uncomfortable Truth: is technology leading to a loss of opportunities for spontaneous real life human connection?
Food for thought...
How do I feel in my body after scrolling — calmer, or more unsettled?
Could my online stress be impacting digestion or bowel habits?
When did I last eat, without looking at a screen - of any form?
Am I exposing myself to blue light late at night, and what impact is this having on my sleep, hormones, and gut?
Am I seeking out real conversations, or hiding in the online world?
If you’ve been feeling the strain of social media — physically, emotionally, or in your gut — this episode is for you. Tune in now, and start to think about redefining your digital life in a way that feels aligned, balanced, and supportive to Whole Person Wellness
