I want to lose weight but I'm so scared!

Tired All the Time – The Hidden Epidemic

Send us a text One of the biggest contributors to this kind of tiredness? Our phones. We’re living in an always-on world. We reach for our phones constantly—for messages, social media, videos, news. Even in quiet moments—waiting in line, sitting on the couch—we seek distraction. It’s constant stimulation, and our brains aren’t wired for it. More scrolling means more fragmented attention.
