Healing from Within: The Mind-Body Power of Meditation | The Deep Six | Episode 25
Dr. Lewerenz welcomes back his very first guest, Certified Nurse Practitioner and yoga instructor Lauren Zessin, for a deep dive into the power of yoga, meditation, and mindfulness in today’s high-stress world. Lauren shares how simple daily practices—like chair yoga, prolonged exhalation, and even cold plunges—can calm the nervous system, improve brain function, and boost longevity by supporting telomere health and neuroplasticity.
More than just a flexibility practice, Lauren explains how yoga acts as moving meditation, helping release stress and create space for stillness. You’ll walk away with science-backed breathing techniques to lower blood pressure and reduce anxiety, along with real-world tips to build mindfulness into your routine. Whether you’re brand new to these practices or looking to go deeper, this episode offers powerful insights to help you feel more grounded, resilient, and energized.
