Mind, Movement, and Mood With Dr. Shimi Kang
About this episode
Dr. Shimi Kang discusses the impact of technology on stress and mental health, particularly in children and teens, and offers insights on building a healthier lifestyle.
Dr. Kang is tackling a modern, high-impact problem: our relationship with technology (and “perma-crisis” busyness) is driving stress, disconnection, and attention fragmentation—especially in kids and teens—unless we build a healthier “tech diet” and lifestyle that restores regulation, connection, and play. In today’s conversation Dr. Shimi Kang explores how brain science can help us thrive in a world shaped by stress, constant change, and persuasive technology. She shares her origin story—from early fascination with the brain to work with the World Health Organization—and explains why mind and body are inseparable in real life. Together, Dr. Kang and Dr. Wells unpack the “tech diet” (toxic, junk, and healthy tech), why kids are uniquely vulnerable, and how simple daily practices—movement, connection, downtime, and music—restore brain health and motivation.
