Digital Detox: Why You Can’t Stop Scrolling (And How to Break the Habit) with Colin Corby

We all say we’re “just checking something.”

And then suddenly it’s 40 minutes later.

If you feel like you can’t stop scrolling, struggle to focus, or reach for your phone the moment you feel bored, stressed or uncomfortable — you’re not alone.

In this episode of The Health Review, I sit down with Colin Corby, also known as The Digital Detox Coach, to explore what constant digital stimulation is doing to your brain, your attention span and your nervous system.

We talk about:

Why it feels so hard to stop scrolling

The psychology behind compulsive phone habits

How notifications and multitasking fragment your focus

The hidden cost of constant stimulation

Why willpower isn’t enough to change digital behaviour

How to create a realistic digital detox without quitting modern life

Practical tools to regain clarity, presence and control

This conversation isn’t about demonising technology. It’s about learning how to use your phone — without it using you.

If your focus has slipped, your mornings start with scrolling, or your attention feels scattered, this episode will help you reset.
