In this episode of "The Art of Wellness," Dr. Gerry Robles, doctor of physical therapy, sits down with combat sports coach Ramy Daoud for a raw, no-BS conversation about mental health, social media addiction, confidence, and the loss of real human connection.

From Japan travel stories to deep talk about scrolling culture, dopamine hits, and loneliness, Gerry and Ramy explore how constant digital stimulation is weakening our focus, discipline, and ability to connect in the real world. They share how combat sports, fitness, and community can help rebuild confidence, resilience, and purpose...and why doing hard things, facing fear, and creating real human connections matter now more than ever.
