In this episode, we continue our exploration of stress and its impact on the body, diving into the science of the relaxation response, a built-in healing mechanism discovered by Dr. Herbert Benson. From monkeys controlling their blood pressure with brainpower alone, to Tibetan monks raising their body temperature in freezing conditions, we examine how meditation and focused practices can shift the body from stress to rest. We’ll explore how chronic stress affects immunity, cancer risk, and overall health, and share the inspiring story of Shin Terayama, who used these principles to reclaim his life from terminal illness. Plus, we’ll provide three practical steps you can implement today to activate your own relaxation response, support cellular healing, and protect your immune system.This podcast is for educational purposes only and does not offer medical advice.
