Is Screen Time Robbing Your Brain? How to Fix It
Descripción del Episodio
Could your screen time be impairing your memory, learning ability, focus, and attention span? You could unintentionally be rewiring your brain the wrong way and that goes for kids as well as adults.
Research shows excessive screen time can negatively affect sleep, concentration, working memory, emotional regulation, and attention span. For both children and adults, digital overload may contribute to mental fatigue, increased stress, reduced productivity, forgetfulness, and difficulty focusing for long periods of time.
The good news is there are ways to strengthen and retrain the brain for better performance and brain optimization expert Dr. Tere Linzey explains how. What’s important is you can change the brain at any age.
In this episode of Women Road Warriors with Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro, Dr. Linzey discusses how neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to form new neural connections and adapt throughout life can improve cognitive function at any age.
Dr. Linzey is a Harvard and UC Berkeley-trained educational psychologist, certified in neuropsychology, and founder of BrainMatterZ, an internationally used brain optimization program. She’s also the author of “Measuring Up!” a practical guide to understanding how the brain learns, adapts, and improves through intentional training and healthy habits.
With over 30 years in education, she has helped children, teens, and adults improve executive functioning, processing speed, working memory, focus, concentration, and learning performance.
Her techniques have helped students raise SAT scores, reduce test anxiety, strengthen concentration, and improve cognitive performance. She has also worked extensively with individuals dealing with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, concussions, auditory processing challenges, memory issues, and learning difficulties.
Dr. Linzey shares science-based strategies designed to strengthen the brain naturally through movement, social connection, nutrition, cognitive exercises, and brain-training techniques that support focus, emotional resilience, memory, and mental sharpness.
In This Episode of Women Road Warriors:
• How excessive screen time may affect focus, memory, sleep, and emotional health
