Welcome to a featured episode of Dr Ron Ehrlich’s Healthy Bite Podcast.
This episode features psychologist, Jocelyn Brewer. Rather than detoxing and unplugging from technology, her approach is more on the intelligent and intentional use and conscious consumption of our devices.
Tune in as Dr Ron and Jocelyn tackle more about digital media and its effect on people. Also recommended is the book by Jonathan Haidt, The Coddling of the American Minds.

Jocelyn also makes a point of talking about how this applies right across a family.

One can only imagine how many undiagnosed cases of anxiety and depression are going on!
