You Know the Scrolling Is Making It Worse. Here's Why You Can't Stop.

The Weekly Health Rx -

You open your phone to check one thing. Thirty minutes later, you've read about six different crises, your chest is tight, and you can't remember what you originally opened the phone to do.

You're not weak. Your nervous system is doing exactly what it's designed to do—scanning for threats that never stop coming. And in perimenopause, the scrolling isn't soothing your anxiety. It's compounding it.

In this week's Weekly Health Rx by Arvasi, Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh and Dr. Tanmeet Sethi reveal why doomscrolling is a nervous system problem, not a willpower problem, and why the symptoms of perimenopause may be amplified by what you're feeding your body through a screen.

Listen now to learn:

  1. Why every scroll re-triggers your stress cascade before the last one has cleared
  2. The Ayurvedic concept that reframes everything you take in through your senses as "food" and what happens when that food is toxic
  3. The difference between being informed and being consumed and why staying “resourced” with a regulated nervous system is so important
  4. Why your dosha determines your specific media vulnerability

This is Week 3 of our four-week MOOD series.

Your dosha-specific episode, with YOUR media prescription and the specific protocol for how your constitution should consume information, is for paid subscribers. Take the free Dosha Data Assessment at myarvasi.com and subscribe at @weeklyhealthrx.
