The Body Never Lies

Taming the Digital Pull with Dr Kristy Goodwin

Listen Later

Dr Kristy Goodwin, is a digital wellbeing and productivity researcher, speaker, author and consultant.  

 

She provides research-based, yet realistic advice and strategies so that we can use technology in purposeful ways that counteract its negative consequences on our health and productivity.…And what I love is, she does it in a way that doesn’t revert to phone bans or constant digital detoxes. 

 

Now just a note for this one, this episode does contain some adult themes, so you might want to save this one for later if there are kids around. 

  • Why NO ONE is immune to the digital pull at some level 
  • The three core needs that are filled by being digitally distracted

    • How technology and apps/games etc are designed to be psychologically appealing and hook us in and keep us wanting more.
    • The physiological and neurobiological changes our bodies go through when using that are really affecting our health from sleep, memory, restorative function, weight loss, productivity to relationships and sex life.
    • Setting up your device for healthy habits
    • How to navigate constant change and evolution with our children
    • Kids, Mirror-neurons and a really scary health epidemic that shocked me
    • Corporate companies and digital culture
    • We are all being watched and our online world curated
    • The danger of getting information from the internet.
    • The resumption lag and its affects on our performance and our wellbeing
    • My personal problem with the digital pull, how it began and how Kristy’s simple tip changed my life, enhanced my relationship (and made her cry me telling her)

    • How we set personal boundaries that mitigate the pitfalls, but leverage the benefits of technology
