Passion without Wisdom Isn't Good: How to Survive (and THRIVE) During the Internet Renaissance

In today's "internet renaissance," people have access to more information than ever before. But this brings major problems that can be disastrous. We talk about the dangers of using the internet to help your health concerns. Much of the information available online is sponsored and/or unqualified and can harm you. From fad diets to essential oils, information overload from a multitude of conflicting sources can make you "freeze" instead of improving your health. We will show you how to cut through the noise and focus on the right type of advice and limiting your mentors. We'll also discuss how to slowly implement what you learn to improve own health in a safe and practical manner.  Another pressing issue in this internet renaissance is smartphone addiction. The average American picks up his or her phone 50 times a day! We'll show you how to tell if you are addicted to your phone and how to break the habit. We'll share how we've been tempted by this addiction in the past too and how we got over it. Finally, we'll talk about what "phubbing" is and how you can break this habit that harms your relationships. Join us for this important podcast.
