Listen "Ep 9: How Social Media & Fast Food Get You Hooked (and what to do about it)"
Episode Synopsis
In this eye-opening episode, we dive into the pervasive consequences of modern addictions, particularly focusing on smartphones and fast foods. These two have leveraged what makes us humans tick, creating an addiction epidemic. Drawing parallels with the gambling industry, we explore how smartphones and fast foods manipulate our dopamine systems, leading to harmful lifestyle changes.
We discuss the adverse effects of these addictions, such as time loss, relationship strains, and health issues. Moreover, the influence of social media shortens attention spans, particularly among Gen Z, affecting their ability to read and learn.
As someone who has a background in developing addictive digital products, our host shares personal insights and strategies on breaking free from these chains. We guide listeners through practical steps to detox and regain control, emphasizing the importance of focusing on what's within our control while approaching larger challenges incrementally.
