Like, bone-tired. And you're pretty sure it's not just the news cycle. What if the exhaustion you've been writing off as "modern life" is actually your body sending up a flare about how you're using technology — and what if the fix is dumber and easier than you'd think? Manoush Zomorodi is the host of NPR's TED Radio Hour and the author of Bored and Brilliant. Her new book, "Body Electric: The Hidden Health Costs of the Digital Age and New Science to Reclaim Your Wellbeing," partnered with Columbia University Medical Center on a 23,000-person global study testing one of the simplest possible interventions for the way screens are rewiring our bodies. In this episode we talk about: – The five-minute protocol that dropped Manoush's blood sugar by 60% in a single day – Why your gym session won't save you if you sit for the rest of the day (sorry) – What "interoception" is and how screens hijack your body's inner signals – The eye-shape change happening to kids that nobody's talking about – Why blue light is NOT the thing wrecking your sleep – How to talk to kids about screen time without turning into a finger-wagging monster – The kazoo on Manoush's desk and why it's there Subscribe to watch more 10% Happier videos: https://www.youtube.com/tenpercenthappier Follow Dan Harris on Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/danharris/ https://www.tiktok.com/@danbharris https://www.facebook.com/DanHarrisABC https://twitter.com/danbharris https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan-harris-91ba5716b/ 0:00:00 The mind-body-tech connection 0:03:00 Why the pandemic broke us in a new way 0:07:00 The Columbia study that changed Manoush's body in one day 0:11:00 Interoception — your "inner selfie" and why screens drown it out 0:18:00 The "human energy crisis" by the numbers 0:26:00 Why workouts and standing desks aren't enough 0:33:00 What 23,000 people learned trying the 5-minute rule 0:39:00 Do you actually have to stop working during the break? 0:48:00 Why we trick ourselves out of what we need 0:52:00 The kids' nearsightedness epidemic 0:58:00 Hearing damage and the AirPods problem 1:04:00 Posture, breath, and the kazoo on Manoush's desk 1:08:00 The sleep myth nobody told you (it's not the blue light) 1:12:00 Talking to kids about screens without being a jerk 1:15:00 What happens when AI gets here #10PercentHappier #BodyElectric #digitalwellness Sponsors: Wix: Wix Harmony is Wix's flagship AI website builder — describe your idea and get a fully functional site, backed by 99.99% uptime and enterprise-grade security.
