The Doctor Is In- Phones, Focus & Feeling Off Balance- Episode 78
In this powerful episode of The Neuro Collective Podcast, Dr. Michael and May Bagnell dive deep into real-life questions submitted by listeners who are seeking answers about how to stay mentally sharp, focused, and balanced—especially as we navigate modern lifestyles filled with screens, stress, and technology.
In this “Doctor Is In” session, we answer three important and highly relevant questions:
✅ Do brain games really help improve cognitive function?
We discuss the science behind gamified brain training apps like BrainHQ, as well as traditional activities like Sudoku, crossword puzzles, and Wordle. Are they just fun pastimes—or do they actually enhance memory, attention, and focus?
✅ Is your smartphone affecting your brain?
We explore the often-overlooked risks of prolonged cell phone use, EMF (electromagnetic frequency) exposure, and what that radiation plume could be doing to your brain health. Learn practical ways to protect yourself and your family—from how you use your phone to where you place your modem at night.
✅ Why am I still dizzy if my ENT says I’m fine?
A listener shares her struggle with ongoing dizziness despite no sign of “crystals” in her ears. Dr. Michael explains how balance and vestibular issues may stem from deeper brainstem imbalances, and why central nervous system care might be the missing link to long-term relief.
Whether you’re a busy professional trying to stay sharp, a tech user concerned about the effects of screen time, or someone dealing with lingering dizziness or brain fog—this episode will give you hope, clarity, and next steps.
