Why Your Brain Shuts Down After Scrolling

from The Broken Traditions Podcast with Leron Gaskins · host Leron Gaskins

Why is it so hard to look away? Leron Gaskins dives into the science of why our brains "break" after a session of doomscrolling. This isn't a lack of willpower; it's a primitive survival instinct being exploited by a billion-dollar business model. From the "Chihuahua" in your brain (the Amygdala) to the "Stone Age" wiring of our threat detection systems, learn the biological reason for your digital exhaustion. Leron provides a 3-step roadmap to reset your nervous system and move from "zombie scrolling" back to active living.
