#17 - Joe Martino - Why You’re Addicted To Doomscrolling (And How To Break Free)

Your body is not your own.

It’s hijacked.

Every time you scroll the news, read a headline, watch another clip – it spikes your nervous system.

Not by accident. On purpose.

Fear sells. Rage converts. Shame keeps you compliant.

The media doesn’t care about truth.

It cares about activation – getting you angry, afraid or defensive enough to click, share, scream.

In this episode, I sit down with Joe Martino from Collective Evolution to dissect the psychological warfare waged on your nervous system by modern media – and how embodiment makes you immune.

We go deep on outrage addiction, nervous system dysregulation and how political division is fueled not by truth – but by unresolved trauma and a total disconnect from the body.

If you want to think for yourself, feel for yourself and take your nervous system back from the parasite that feeds on your reactivity…

This episode is your first shot fired.

In This Episode with Joe Martino, You’ll Discover:

• The micro-trauma buried in every headline – and how to stop letting it own you
• Why watching the news is worse for your nervous system than three espressos and a breakup text
• How shame, fear and outrage are manufactured – and who profits when you bite the bait
• The invisible addiction: why you need bad news to feel alive (and how to break the cycle)
• The real reason you hate the other political side (spoiler: it’s not ideology)
• How to tell if your reaction is reality… or programming
