496: Put Your Cell Phone In Its Place: Strategies for Less Screen Time and More Real Life

How can we loosen the grip of our devices? Do we own them or do they own us? Joey Odom is the founder of ARO, a company committed to helping us spend less time on our phones. Too much screen time can have a negative impact on our psychological and physical health. Depression, suicidal ideation, and anxiety are real outcomes from investing too much time on social media. In some ways, our phones have become like pacifiers and comfort objects for many of us. Today, Joey offers numerous strategies for reclaiming our lives and releasing our phones. He shares his stop/start philosophy and guidelines we can use as families to rein in the time we spend on our devices.

Om Podcasten

The Weston A. Price Foundation's Wise Traditions podcast is for those who seek optimal health based on traditional wisdom. We believe that vibrant health cannot be cultivated in a lab, engineered through modern technology or found through “improving” nature. On the contrary, “life in all its fullness is mother nature obeyed,” as Dr. Weston Price put it. We can learn from healthy societies of the past how to live healthier lives now. The Foundation's podcast is an invitation to follow traditional food and health ways to live our best lives. Our host and producer, Hilda Labrada Gore, interviews experts on a wide variety of topics—ranging from nutrient-dense foods to improving mental health to homesteading to detoxing to healing emotional trauma to the power of sunshine and mitigating EMFs. Every episode offers the listener a way to heal, grow and live a more vibrant and happy life.
