Digital Mindfulness Podcast #11 Jocelyn Brewer: Digital Nutrition

By 03/07/2015October 13th, 2016No Comments

We are hunters and gatherers. We are searching meaning and purpose through digital information

– Jocelyn Brewer

In this episode of the Digital Mindfulness podcast I talk with the psychologist and TED speaker Jocelyn Brewer about Digital Nutrition. Digital Nutrition is her framework for ways in which people, and particularly parents, can ensure their children live healthier lives with digital technologies. Imagine if we were able to navigate our consumption of digital technologies with a clear understanding of which services had a positive effect on our bodies and our minds and those which were less so.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • How digital technologies can cause amygdala hijacks
  • The tenets of the Digital Nutrition framework
  • Why emojis are not helpful for autistic children
  • What does a healthy relationship with technology look like?
  • Why an on-demand culture leads to demanding people
