In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Noah Costello to discuss a groundbreaking study on digital detoxes and what happens when people remove smartphone internet access for just two weeks.
We explore the surprising effects on attention, mental health, and overall wellbeing, why phones impact us differently than computers, and practical strategies to regain focus in a distracted world.
