If you're depressed and unmotivated, it might be because of your cell phone.

Believe it or not, there are a lot of neurotransmitters that are involved when you're utilizing your cell phone,

especially early in the morning and at night.

We have an incredible neuroscientist on the show in Nicole Vignola to talk about just what cell phones are doing to our mental health.

And if you have children, should you be giving your kids a cell phone early on?

I always say no phones for the first half hour to an hour if you can.

So when we're sort of coming out of waking we go through you know slower brain waves

we're in theater brain states low alpha maybe some

beta but when we grab our phone first thing we're snapping ourselves out of it and

people say yes but I need the phone to wake up. You're probably not getting good quality sleep

if that's the case.

Nicole Vignola is a neuroscientist,

a corporate consultant, an author and a speaker.

And she's been committed to making neuroscience tangible for you.

So if you have a cell phone, if you have

children, if you're having trouble getting motivated, if you have trouble

breaking habits, get ready for this episode.

I, Nicole, welcome to the show.

I, this, these are my favorite podcast when I can talk about the nervous system and about the brain. From my emotional standpoint that I work with, this is pivotal.

What I notice is the biggest thing is this.

Everybody wants to do healthy interventions, healthy food,

healthy exercise, I want to do all of these perfect habits.
