Podcasts about digital wellness

Ready for a reality check on your wellness gadgets? In this episode of The Healthier Tech Podcast, we yank back the curtain on the brave new world of AI-powered self-care—and ask whether your “smart” coach is a lifesaver or a data-hungry overlord. What you'll hear in five fast-paced minutes: From step counters to mind readers Discover how today's AI tools detect stress in your voice, predict burnout from heart-rate variability, and tailor workouts on the fly—no human trainer required. Chatbots with couch credentials Meet Woebot and Wysa, therapy bots using evidence-based techniques. One has already logged over five million private conversations—yours could be next. Your breath, decoded Lumen's handheld sensor analyzes a single exhale to reveal whether you're torching carbs or fat, then spits out meal plans driven by machine-learning models of real-world metabolisms. Wearables that learn you Whoop bands and Oura Rings don't just track sleep; they study it, adjust recovery advice in real time, and promise a fitter, sharper you—if you dare share the data. Selfies for science L'Oréal's Skin Genius AI turns your phone camera into a pocket dermatologist, flagging pores and pigmentation before you spot them in the mirror. The privacy trade-off We break down the fine print no one reads: when mood logs, late-night journals, and breathing patterns become gold mines for advertisers—and how to protect yourself. Key takeaways: AI can supercharge digital wellness, personalizing everything from mental-health check-ins to nutrition plans. But unchecked, it can blur the line between self-care and surveillance. Use the tech—just don't let it use you. This episode is brought to you by Shield Your Body—a global leader in EMF protection and digital wellness.

Michael is a pediatrician, the Founder and Director of the Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children's Hospital (a Harvard Medical School Teaching Hospital) and the author of The Mediatrician's Guide: A Joyful Approach to Raising Healthy, Smart, Kind Kids in a Screen-Saturated World. In his book, Michael writes, “The best strategy for protecting your child from potential harm is to teach them not just to survive, but to thrive in the screen media environment: to cultivate their awareness, develop their critical thinking, awaken their creativity, and nurture their empathy, providing them with the skills to harness the positive affordances and to recognize and avoid the negative influences of the screens that surround us all.” Michael and I discuss this wonderful goal and some techniques for making it a reality. The episode was recorded during a live webinar that Talking About Kids regularly convenes with the Arizona Alliance for Adolescent Health (AAAH), so you also will hear from Celeste Krell-Colum and Vinny Chulani of AAAH.

For decades, the conversation around youth and technology has been dominated by powerful voices—media, researchers, and word-of-mouth warnings—painting a picture of digital tools as the looming threat to young people's well-being. But what if that narrative isn't the whole story? What if, instead, we favored the spectrum of possibilities in the digital present and future, instead of a good or evil binary. It would take a a vibrant counter-movement, led by passionate advocates and young people themselves, determined to reclaim the digital world for good. And good news, there is one.This episode was recorded live at Sesame Workshop, bringing together a true who's who of leaders and do-ers in the world of “Digital Wellness for Young People.” At the heart of our conversation is Young Futures—a startup initiative funding projects through the crucial lens of digital wellness.

Equinix, the digital infrastructure company, has launched a guide to encourage effective and efficient management of digital files, and raise awareness of how this can support mental wellbeing. Many of us are hoarding tens - or even hundreds - of thousands of photos, emails, and documents, never to be viewed again. Dr Susan Albers, a clinical psychologist at the Cleveland Clinic, recently stated that storing too many digital items on our devices can lead to anxiety and stress. In fact, she says, it can be just as stressful as having a cluttered home, as our brains yearn for simplicity. In reality, our digital clutter does have a physical presence… in data centres. Equinix has approximately 270 data centres around the world with an extraordinary amount of data flowing through them. Digital infrastructure, serving as the backbone of today's economy, encompasses connectivity that touches our everyday lives. It connects all of our digital devices and enables everything from online banking to improved health diagnoses, to communicating with friends and family, and getting us to work (think: digital travelcards, wallets, alarms and our entertainment or email-checking on the way into the office). While data has brought untold benefits to human capabilities and our societies, the amount of information and images we are exposed to everyday can be overwhelming. To address this issue, Equinix has teamed up with Sarah Reynolds, founder of Organised Chaos, a company helping individuals to unclutter their daily lives - both physically and virtually. Top 10 Tips for digital wellness: 1- Make a checklist. Make a list of everything you want to clear out. This could be photos and videos, emails, drives, or apps on your phone. Then target one area at a time, once per week. By working on just one area at a time, you will focus the mind. Within two months, with consistency, you will find yourself in much better shape. 2 - Streamline your photos and videos. Photos and videos are one of the main culprits of device clutter, causing undue stress and frustration when a person can't find the file they are looking for. This can be made more manageable by creating folders - using dates or categories - on your device, or through a secure third-party storage application. While you're organising, why not create a "Print" folder - next time you are at a shop, you can print the items in the folder and enjoy your best snaps. Once you have organised and categorised the images you want to keep, you can delete any unwanted or duplicated files. Result: less stuff holding you back and less cost for storage! 3- Aim for inbox zero. Newsletters and email alerts are a major factor in clogging up inboxes, but inbox zero is possible! Many email providers offer notifications for when you are subscribing to email updates you don't read. There are also apps available that can unsubscribe you in bulk. This will help to streamline existing emails. Then, make yourself a policy that every time you receive an email you know you don't want to read, unsubscribe immediately. Additionally, consider a separate email address only to be used for subscriptions. For emails you want to keep, use your folder system to categorise emails by topic or sender. 4 - Organise your computer - desktop, downloads and files. Just as a countertop is not for storing items from the kitchen and things with no 'home', or a desk surface is not for storing office items (this may come as a surprise to some!) - a desktop is not for storing digital files. Start your desktop cleanup by sorting everything into folders. Then, take a look at your downloaded files, which can often be a source of digital junk! Make sure you have everything you need saved and categorised, while deleting anything you don't need. Finally, ensure that every file on your computer has a folder and that every folder has a label. This is perhaps a once-a-year job, but it is good to go through each folder and make sure the files within are ...

In this episode of The Paul Taylor Podcast, I sit down with Dr Jenny Brockis, lifestyle medicine physician and author of "The Natural Advantage", to explore how nature could be our most powerful yet underutilised medicine in today's screen-dominated world. Through fascinating research and personal experience, Dr Brockis reveals how our disconnection from nature is contributing to rising rates of anxiety, burnout, and chronic disease—and more importantly, how reconnecting with the natural world can dramatically improve our physical and mental wellbeing. From the surprising science of 'earthing' to practical strategies for both rural and city dwellers, this conversation is packed with evidence-based insights on leveraging nature's healing power. Whether you're battling screen addiction, struggling with anxiety, or simply seeking to optimise your health, this episode offers a compelling roadmap for using nature as your daily medicine. Key Topics: Lifestyle Medicine and Healthcare System Critique: From reactive treatment to preventive lifestyle medicine The Therapeutic Relationship in Healthcare: The vital role of strong patient-doctor relationships in effective healthcare Nature's Impact on Mental Health: Nature’s therapeutic benefits for mental wellbeing Digital Wellness and Screen Addiction: detrimental impact of screen addiction on modern life Urban Planning and Nature Integration: importance of integrating natural spaces in urban environments Physiological Benefits of Nature Exposure: scientifically proven health benefits of connecting with nature Practical Nature Integration Strategies: Techniques for incorporating nature into daily routines Professional Applications and Resources: Development opportunities in nature-based wellness Key Takeaways: Combat screen addiction by implementing regular "nature breaks" throughout your day - step outside for even brief periods to reset your attention and improve cognitive function. Engage all your senses when in nature by consciously noticing sights, sounds, smells, and textures, rather than just passively being present outdoors. Make direct physical contact with natural surfaces (like walking barefoot on grass or sand) for at least 30 minutes daily to benefit from grounding's effects on inflammation and stress reduction. Get adequate sunlight exposure in the morning hours to optimize vitamin D production and regulate your circadian rhythm, while being mindful of safe sun practices. Create dedicated screen-free times and spaces in your daily routine, particularly during nature exposure and social interactions, to enhance mindfulness and human connection. Bring nature indoors through houseplants, natural materials, and nature sounds/views when outdoor access is limited, especially for city dwellers. Start each morning with an intentional nature connection ritual - even if it's just sitting by a window with your morning beverage and observing the natural world for a few minutes.
