How addicted are you to your devices and is your brain paying the price? Cognitive neuroscientist and brain performance coach Dr. Trish Leigh joins Hilary Russo on HIListically Speaking to explore how online habits especially pornography and constant screen time rewire the brain. Based on her book Mind Over Explicit Matter, Dr. Leigh unpacks dopamine dependency, supernormal stimuli, and the link between digital overstimulation and emotional disconnection. From brain mapping and neuroplasticity to practical tools for reducing screen addiction, this episode offers actionable steps to reclaim focus, boost mental health, and build real connection. Whether you’re a parent, professional, or just overwhelmed by tech, you’ll learn how to befriend your brain in a screen-saturated world.
