Video Description
Why is it so hard to put our phones down even when we know theyβre making us anxious? Today weβre going to unpack the neurochemistry of why we get hooked on devices and games, and how to reclaim our mental wellbeing from somebody whoβs helping millions of people do this everyday. This week Iβm joined by Dr. Alok Kanojia, Harvard-trained psychiatrist and co-founder of Healthy Gamer, to discuss digital devices, the science behind dopamine loops and how to develop a healthy relationship with our phones and more. We explore: π² The brain circuits behind digital addiction (dopamine, the hippocampus, nucleus accumbens + more) β οΈ Signs your online use is tipping from healthy to harmful π¨βπ©βπ§ Parenting in the digital age how to set boundaries without battles π§ The surprising role of Vedic philosophy, meditation, and yoga in rewiring the brain π Dr. Kβs top tools for building a healthy, long-term relationship with technology If youβve ever asked yourself βAm I addicted to my phone?β or struggled with screen time limits, this conversation blends science, psychiatry, and ancient wisdom to give you practical strategies for balance. We also take a massive tangent at the end of this podcast to talk about his spiritual side, the vedic teaching around personality traits and how Alok balances his beliefs about other worlds with a purely science informed approach. This is something Iβm personally very interested in and while itβs a slight departure from the rigorous evidence based medicine approach we usually maintain on the DK podcast, I wanted to share this personal perspective with you all.
