Summary
Branchy breaks down how the modern news cycle and endless social media doom scrolling are impacting our nervous systems, gut health, stress hormones and overall wellbeing. We dive into the rise of loneliness, emotional exhaustion, cortisol spikes, chronic stress, and why humans are craving real-life connection more than ever before. From anxiety and inflammation to the psychological effects of fear-driven media, this episode explores how constant digital overload may literally be making us sick. #HardYarnsPodcast #MentalHealth #Loneliness #Stress #Cortisol #SocialMedia #News #Health #Wellbeing #Podcast PATREON Support The Hard Yarns and get access to exclusive drops, content, live shows and promo codes : www.patreon.com/thehardyarnspodcast FIND US Email: [email protected] Instagram: @thehardyarnspodcast YouTube: https://youtube.com/@thehardyarnspodcast TikTok: @thehardyarnspodcast Web: https://www.thehardyarns.com SPONSORS The Smart Business Lounge - https://www.thesmartbusinesslounge.com.au All Trades Cover - https://www.alltradescover.com.au Crafted Finance - https://www.craftedfinance.com.au Hard Yarns is Produced by B32media #hardyarns #podcast #comedy.
