Is it too much? How is it affecting us all? Should we need a digital detox? How can we wean ourselves off the addiction and control the social anxiety that can come with it? Today we’re talking about finding that balance, looking at the small steps we can take making tech something that makes us healthier and happier rather than more frazzled with Tanya Goodin.

0:00.0	Before we get into today's episode, I wanted to introduce you to our sponsor.
0:05.2	A little note on sponsors, we only work with brands that I actually use and I truly love.
0:11.2	I and we will never promote anything that isn't totally authentic or something that we don't
0:16.5	believe in. For the next few months, our podcast sponsor is SimProve, a supplement that I've
0:21.8	been using to support my gut health for about five years now. I was actually buying it years
0:26.8	before he started working with them. I know gut health is such a prevalent topic right now
0:32.0	and something that's so many of you are interested in too. The gut microbiome is made up of trillions
0:37.8	of bacteria that support pretty much all aspects of our mental and physical health, from digestion,
0:43.8	to our immune system, energy production and mental health. Keeping the right balance of good bacteria
0:49.4	in our gut is so important. Our diet and our lifestyles have a huge impact on that, but adding

1:26.7	that are based in UK and it's on their Flexi subscription.
1:39.2	Welcome back to the deliciously Ella podcast. I'm afraid to disappoint. It is just me. Ella Mills
1:44.0	again today. Matthew Mills will be back again next week. He is currently at the US Embassy,
1:48.1	trying to see if we can get visas because we are going to bring to the Shecy Ella over. I hope
1:51.6	that counts. There's a good enough excuse not to be here, but I'm really, really excited about
1:56.7	our episode today. We are talking all about our smartphone usage, how much time we spend online,
2:01.8	the effect that that's having on our wellbeing, mentally and physically, and the list goes on and on.
