Description

We spend hours a day staring at screens… but what if it’s doing way more damage than we realize? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Eugene Lipov — a physician and PTSD specialist who’s worked with military veterans, special forces operators, and trauma patients for decades — to talk about what phones, social media, doomscrolling, and constant digital stimulation are actually doing to our brains. And honestly? This conversation hit home. We talk about: Why screen addiction behaves like any other addiction How social media is affecting sleep, anxiety, inflammation, and mental health Why people feel constantly overwhelmed and unable to focus The connection between technology and PTSD-like symptoms Why kids having unlimited access to phones should terrify parents The “brain rot” phenomenon and shrinking attention spans How stepping away from screens can dramatically change your physical and mental health Dr. Lipov also explains his push to change the term PTSD to PTSI (“post-traumatic stress injury”) to remove stigma and help more people seek treatment. We also get into psychedelics, ibogaine, psilocybin, trauma recovery, and some of the cutting-edge treatments being explored right now. Check out Dr. Lipov’s book:“Brain on Fire: Doomscrolling and What To Do About It” (available now on Amazon + audiobook) You can follow Dr. Lipov here:dumbissmarter.comSubstack: Eugene Lipov, MD@dreugenelipov Ready to JOIN THE FIGHT?
