The Link Between Technology and Nervous System Dysregulation
Jan 20, 2025 Season 4 Episode 42
Lauren Spigelmyer

In this episode, Lauren dives into the profound impact of our hyper-connection to technology on our nervous system and explores how we can reclaim regulation through a digital detox. Constant notifications, endless scrolling, and exposure to screens can fragment focus, disrupt sleep, and increase stress hormones, all of which negatively impact mental health. Lauren highlights that recognizing signs like trouble concentrating, increased anxiety, sleep issues, and a sense of disconnection are key indicators that it’s time to reevaluate our digital habits.
