We all say we’re “just checking something.”
And then suddenly it’s 40 minutes later.
If you feel like you can’t stop scrolling, struggle to focus, or reach for your phone the moment you feel bored, stressed or uncomfortable — you’re not alone.
In this episode of The Health Review, I sit down with Colin Corby, also known as The Digital Detox Coach, to explore what constant digital stimulation is doing to your brain, your attention span and your nervous system.
We talk about:
Why it feels so hard to stop scrolling
The psychology behind compulsive phone habits
How notifications and multitasking fragment your focus
The hidden cost of constant stimulation
Why willpower isn’t enough to change digital behaviour
How to create a realistic digital detox without quitting modern life
Practical tools to regain clarity, presence and control
This conversation isn’t about demonising technology. It’s about learning how to use your phone — without it using you.
If your focus has slipped, your mornings start with scrolling, or your attention feels scattered, this episode will help you reset.
