Welcome to another episode of Sidelined Sanity with me, Michelle Tofoya, sponsored by Legacy

Precious metals. There has never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Go to LegacyPMinvestments.com,

legacy pm. Investments.com. Coming up, this is a bit somber, but I think think really necessary let me read you a quote from the book

the teenage brain by dr francis jensen the doctor writes and i quote technology is another

opportunity for novelty seeking and because the brain of a teenager is so easy to stimulate, all it takes

is the latest digital toy to tease it into distraction. The cascade of neuro processes that kicks

off the brain's reward circuitry and the rush of the pleasure chemical dopamine can be triggered

just as easily by the release of the latest iPhone as by alcohol,

sex, or a fast car. In some ways, technology is a drug. Again, that's the book, The Teenage Brain

by Dr. Francis Jensen. Joining us next is Captain Peter Ryan, U.S. Navy retired.

He included that quote in a piece that he wrote for the U.S. Navy because he sees a great

concern with this potential addiction among armed services and teenagers of all ages.

And as kind of a side treat, his daughter, Teresa, will join us as well to tell us how she

completely cut herself off from smartphones.

It's going to be fascinating.

Stay with us.

For nearly three decades, she's reported the action from the sidelines.

She started very young. She's covered the NBA, NFL, Olympics, and the college football and

basketball national championships. And now, during these insane times in our world, Michelle Tofoya thinks we need a serious dose of sanity.

This is sideline sanity with your host, one of the sanest people on planet Earth.

Michelle Tofoya.

I am really pleased to be joined by Captain Peter Ryan and his daughter Teresa.
