Three out of four teens are battling depression and anxiety, and one in three preteen girls has seriously considered suicide. The phones in their hands aren't just distracting them; they're rewiring their brains, stealing their sleep, and erasing their sense of purpose. In this episode, I sit down with Abdullah, Zain, Emaad, and Qasim Ansari from the Holistic Kids Show to talk about the shocking truth behind screen addiction. These teen health advocates wrote The Teen Health Revolution after watching their own peers struggle with mental health crises, chronic disease, and complete disconnection from real life. We talk about why 96% of Gen Z can't go to the bathroom without their phones, how blue light before bed leads to poor health outcomes, and the spiritual emptiness that comes from never being "bored enough" to think your own thoughts. The brothers share the exact screen time limits that work for their family, why an authoritarian approach fails with teens, and how to replace scrolling with purpose. "We're more connected than ever before, but yet so many people feel disconnected. That's because of these phones and especially social media." ~ Abdullah Ansari In This Episode: - How the "Holistic Kids" started their health journey - Screen time and mental health - How screen time promotes dementia - Teens experiencing a spiritual health crisis - The addictive nature of phones - Socialization and phone-free schools - Practical tips for teens to reduce screen time - Navigating social media and self-image - The REVOLUTION acronym for total teen health Products & Resources Mentioned: The Teen Health Revolution Book: Available at <a href= "https://theteenhealthrevolution.com/">https://theteenhealthrevolution.com/</a> Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Use the code 25% off holiday sale to save at <a href= "https://boncharge.com">https://boncharge.com</a> Tru Energy Lip Peptide Treatment: Buy one, get one free for a limited time at <a href= "https://trytruenergy.com/wendy3">https://trytruenergy.com/wendy3</a> Organifi Collagen: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at <a href= "https://organifi.com/myersdetox">https://organifi.com/myersdetox</a> Chef's Foundry P600 Cookware: Get an exclusive discount at <a class="c-link" href= "https://deals.chefsfoundry.com/black-friday-b?utm_term=MyersDetoxXmas" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link= "https://deals.chefsfoundry.com/black-friday-b?utm_term=MyersDetoxXmas" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby= "sk-tooltip-885">https://deals.chefsfoundry.com/black-friday-b?utm_term=MyersDetoxXmas</a> Heavy Metals Quiz: Check your score at <a href= "https://heavymetalsquiz.com">https://heavymetalsquiz.com</a> About Abdullah, Zain, Emaad & Qasim Ansari: Abdullah, Zain, Emaad, and Qasim Ansari are teenage health revolutionaries shaking the wellness world as hosts of the globally top-ranked Holistic Kids Show podcast and co-authors of the traditionally published bestseller The Teen Health Revolution (Bloomsbury).
