Safe, Sanitised, and Starving: What Tech Is Doing to Teenagers’ Nervous Systems

Description

What do broken arms, emotional numbness, and AI-powered “friend apps” have in common?


In this thought-provoking conversation, Greg and Nimrod dive into a startling trend: teens today are taking fewer risks, building fewer deep relationships, and increasingly turning to artificial connection instead of real human bonds.


We explore:




  • Why Gen Z is half as connected as the generation before




  • How tech is replacing—not just supporting—human development




  • The ripple effect into nervous systems, relationships, and resilience




  • Why this matters deeply for chiropractors seeing kids, teens, and families




  • How chiropractic can become a rebellion against numbness, disconnection, and beige living




 


This is a powerful conversation about technology vs. humanity—and how we can stay human in an increasingly artificial world.
