#302 | WW - Brain-Body Science: Psycho-endo-neuro-immunology


Listen Later

Our cells are constantly eavesdropping on our thoughts and emotions.
 
This means that the moment-to-moment shifting of states of mind and emotion directly impact our physiology.

This is pretty darn cool and empowering!

Our mind can be our greatest ally in health. A lack of understanding, however, can create significant obstacles at the level of thought and emotion.

The way the body-mind is wired is known as pscho-endo-neuro-immunology. This is the connection between our psychology (state of mind) with the endocrine system (hormones) nervous system, and the immune system.

We are wired for survival, though chronic or repetitive activation of the sympathetic nervous system "stress response" contributes to suppression of vitality, our innate healing potential.

In today's episode, we discuss this interplay between brain and body to empower you in leveraging mindset to create more health.

Some highlights from today's WW episode...

  • The "mind-body connection" is a misnomer, as the body and mind have always been one (mind is present in every fragment of life)
  • How the 2 branches of the autonomic nervous system are designed to keep you alive and balanced
  • Susanna's rercent "acute stress" vs chronic, ongoing daily stressful thinking
  • What happens when the sympathetic stress response is turned on for longer than it is designed to (effects on hormones, metabolism, and immunity)
  • Where to reliably find peace - not in any practice, but in understanding our true nature
