What happened with our brains during the pandemic
Brains, Pandemics, Weight, and Trauma...
Ooph - yeah, it sounds like a hard topic, but we're going to explore today a few concepts that have been spinning through my head and readings, of course with laughter, stories, analogies and (once again) Allen Iverson references.
Let's talk about the very important function of 2 different parts of our brain: amygdala and prefrontal cortex (aka downstairs and upstairs brains)
with a nod to Daniel Siegel, MD and Tina Bryson, PhD wh wrote "The Whole-Brain Child".
We explore the increasing rates of overweight and obesity from 2020 onward, with a different perspective about the why.
And most importantly, what we can do to address the chronic activation we have of our threat detection centers, and why "feeling better" with food and electronics isn't actually helping to heal the underlying wounds.
