Episode notes
EMF Exposure in Children
- A study found that EMF exposure from screens, not calls, shrinks kids' caudate nucleus, impacting memory and coordination.
- Minimize kids' Wi-Fi use; use wired connections when possible.
Legos' Longevity in the Ocean
- Legos take hundreds of years to break down in the ocean, becoming microplastics that enter the food chain.
- Consider the longevity of plastic items and their environmental impact.
Brain Hub Connectivity and Learning
- Learning difficulties and mental health disorders in adolescents may stem from poor connectivity between brain hubs, not localized issues.
- This emphasizes the interconnected nature of brain function.
