Episode notes

Send us Fan Mail What if the biggest public health threat to attention, sleep, relationships, and mental health isn’t a virus or a disease - but the device in your pocket? Dr. Nidhi Gupta, MD ( ) is a pediatric endocrinologist, TEDx speaker, researcher, entrepreneur, and one of the leading voices exploring the intersection of technology, health, and human connection in the digital age. Dr. Gupta is the Founder of the Phreedom Foundation, a nonprofit organization built around a simple but increasingly urgent mission: helping individuals, families, schools, and workplaces reclaim their time, attention, and sense of presence in a world dominated by screens and smart devices. Through coaching, retreats, school partnerships, and corporate workshops, she has helped spark a growing movement toward intentional living and healthier relationships with technology. Long before “screen addiction,” “digital burnout,” and “attention fragmentation” became mainstream concerns, Dr. Gupta was already raising alarms about the hidden physiological and psychological costs of our always-connected culture.
