The Healthier Tech Podcast is the show bringing you a practical solutions-based approach to understanding how best to live in balance with our increasing reliance on tech.

The show from Shield Your Body brings you expert voices that clearly explain the science that matters to you, and the usable tips that you can use to live healthier, while defending against the health risks of modern day technologies. 

Today on the show we welcome Adam Cox. Adam is one of the most in-demand experts on addiction in Europe, but he is not your average specialist! As a Psychologist and Hypnotherapist he has helped hundreds of clients as well as educating himself deeply on understanding the many individual addiction issues to be able to help people at the core level. As well as helping others overcome obstacles, Adam has also really figured out what it takes to create a success-focused psychology, having become a self-made millionaire at the age of 27 by launching one of the UK top-rated PR agencies.

As Adam shares in this episode, he was being approached frequently by parents who were worried about their children spending too much time on gadgets and streaming devices. At that stage the NHS didn't have the knowledge to be able to assist with the challenges that were being faced. This ever-growing tech addiction has affected not only children, but people of all ages who are increasingly seeking solace in digital devices. As Adam mentions in this episode, devices and online connectivity is often enabling users to meet all kinds of human needs such as pleasure, gratification, connection that are not being met in real life.

In this episode you will hear: 

  • What is tech addiction 
  • The consequences of tech addiction
  • Setting boundaries with technology
  • How to improve your focus
  • How COVID exacerbated people's addictive behaviours  
  • Ways to lessen the physical or psychological impact of tech addiction

We often hear about the latest gadgets and apps, but rarely about their subtle, cumulative effects on our well-being. The Healthier Tech Podcast, from Shield Your Body®, digs into that exact space. This isn't about rejecting technology, but about understanding the intersection where our devices meet our biology. Conversations explore the tangible influences-like how EMF exposure might affect stress levels, how blue light disrupts circadian rhythms, or how algorithmic design can hijack our dopamine pathways. We bring in researchers, physicians, and engineers to translate complex science into actionable insights. You'll hear specific discussions on protecting sleep from screen interference, maintaining focus in a world of notifications, and balancing connectivity with mental energy. The goal is to provide a clearer picture of our daily interactions with phones, laptops, and smart home devices, offering practical strategies for a more intentional and healthier relationship with the tools we use. Whether you're deeply concerned about electromagnetic fields or simply feel drained by constant digital engagement, this podcast serves as a grounded resource. It’s for anyone who senses their tech is taking more than it gives and wants to reclaim a sense of physical and mental equilibrium without disconnecting entirely. Tune in for a nuanced take on navigating a wired world.
