  • Are Screens Destroying Children’s Attention Spans?

    Are Screens Destroying Children’s Attention Spans?
    4 Oct 2026
    Parents and teachers increasingly describe children who struggle to read for twenty minutes, finish homework without checking a device, or tolerate even a few minutes of boredom. Research does show an association between heavier screen exposure and attention difficulties, although the evidence does not prove that smartphones or tablets directly cause ADHD. Several large studies have found that children and adolescents with heavier or more problematic digital-media use subsequently report more symptoms of inattention or ADHD. Researchers are also investigating indirect mechanisms involving sleep, constant novelty, reward, and the displacement of activities that require sustained concentration. In this episode, we separate what the research actually shows from the popular claim that screens are simply “destroying” children’s brains.

In this episode, we separate observation from evidence and examine what research tells us about sugar, attention, and hyperactivity.

  • ADHD and the Gut: What a Large Review Actually Shows

    ADHD and the Gut: What a Large Review Actually Shows
    14 Sep 2026
    A 2026 review of more than 1.9 million people found higher rates of constipation, IBS, and loss of bowel control among those with ADHD. The link is consistent across several studies but remains an association, not proof of cause. Medication, eating patterns, and gut-brain signaling may all play a role. Clinicians are now being urged to ask about digestive symptoms rather than treat them as an afterthought.
