The Penis Project Podcast: Breaking Taboos in Men’s Sexual Health

95. Ho Hahaha Ho Hahaha - Laughter is Indeed A Medicine; Meet Bianca Spears, The Laughter Coach


Listen Later

Laughter is the best medicine, they say. And today, our guest might just explain why that can be true.  

Meet Bianca Spears, THE laughter coach. Bianca works to help people relieve stress, and tension, and rest their minds through using laughter. She says laughter is a path to neuro pathways.  

In today’s episode, you will learn about the power of laughing, the science behind why it is great medicine, and experience the exercise yourself.  

The main takeaway is this: When you’re having fun and laughing, you become more open to new things (Melissa provides a perfect example!).  

If you’re feeling a bit down today, know that by simply smiling and laughing, you activate the positive chemicals in your body - your DOSE which stands for: 

  • Dopamine which helps with motivation 
  • Oxytocin, the bonding chemical, laugh chemical, is activated when hugging, kissing, etc 
    • Serotonin which helps stabilize mood 
  • Endorphins which are called the ‘happy hormones’ but are not technically a hormone 
  • But how does laughter help with your sexual function? Bianca will explain. Part of the discussion will also include what happens to your pelvic floor when laughing.  

    Be ready because this episode may just convince you that you need to add laughing in your daily routine.
