Is your phone silently sabotaging your hormones?

In this episode of The Aging Well Podcast, we’re joined by Justin Hai—entrepreneur, wellness visionary, and author of the upcoming book STRESS Nation—to discuss how our addiction to screens and overstimulation is disrupting cortisol, the master stress hormone.

Justin unpacks how modern technology is rewiring our biology—leading to poor sleep, anxiety, hormone imbalance, and burnout. Drawing from his background in design, biotechnology, and hormone science, he offers fresh insight into the role cortisol plays in aging, midlife transitions (especially for women), and overall vitality.

Whether you’re feeling constantly tired, burned out, or just want to better understand your body’s natural rhythms, this episode will help you reclaim balance in a world addicted to input.

Topics covered include:

• The tech-stress connection and its hormonal impact

• Why cortisol is key to sleep, energy, and longevity

• How midlife and menopause are uniquely affected

• Strategies to reset your hormonal clock naturally

From the controversy surrounding seed oils to the ongoing debate about saturated fat, this episode seeks to bring clarity to a conversation often clouded by conflicting advice and outdated dietary guidelines.Drawing on evidence from metabolic health research, historical dietary shifts, and real-world examples, Jeff and Corbin examine how different fats influence inflammation, heart health, and the aging process. With curiosity and a shared commitment to practical wellness, they ask the critical questions many listeners are wondering: Which fats support healthy aging—and which may be undermining it?If you've ever felt confused about what oils to cook with, how much saturated fat is too much, or whether "heart-healthy" really means healthy, this episode offers the context and clarity you need to make more informed, confident choices.Takeaways• Aging well is more about living better than living longer.• Seed oils have been vilified by social media influencers.• Inflammation is a complex issue influenced by diet.• Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for reducing inflammation.• The American diet is heavily reliant on processed foods.• Balancing omega-3 and omega-6 intake is crucial for health.• Cooking methods can significantly impact the healthiness of oils.• Quality of oils matters; not all oils are created equal.Please, support The Aging Well Podcast by hitting the ‘like’ button, subscribing/following the podcast, sharing with a friend, and….BUY the products you need to… age well from our trusted affiliates and support the mission of The Aging Well Podcast*.The Aging Well Podcast merchandise | Show how you are aging well | Use the promo code AGING WELL for free shipping on orders over $75 | https://theagingwellpodcast-shop.fourthwall.com/promo/AGINGWELLRebalance Health | products created by hormone health experts to lower cortisol, improve sleep, and minimize the impact of stress on the body and mind | Use promo code AGINGWELL for 20% discount at https://rebalancehealth.comProlon | The Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) is a revolutionary five-day nutrition program scientifically formulated to mimic the effects of a prolonged water fast while still allowing nourishment - supporting the benefits of fasting without the challenges and risks that come from water-only fasts. | For the best available discount always use this link: https://prolonlife.com/theagingwellpodcast
