The Science of Self-Care

That's a wrap on Season 3! We're diving into the science behind Tetrahydrocannabinol, aka THC, aka cannabis, aka weed, aka all the other things we've ever called weed in an effort to be "subtle" and "cool". Steven and Sophie reminisce on anti-drug campaigns and insist on reading through Rachel Leigh Cook's filmography. Shannon explains how the drug impacts your body and the many different physical systems it can affect, from pain to memory to sleep. So, is THC self-care or self-square? We're taking a break and will be back soon with more episodes! Drop us a line with thoughts or requests anytime at thescienceofselfcare@gmail.com or on Instagram @thescienceofselfcare!

This week, the self-care gang talks through the impact that moving homes can have on your brain, and share advice on how to take care of yourself before, during, or after a move. Shannon and Sophie share their highs and lows from recent moving experiences, and everyone agrees Steven could easily be a real estate agent.

This week, we're exploring that thing we all obsess over, fear, and maybe even look forward to: aging! Shannon, Sophie, and Steven discuss the science of aging, what it really means, and how culture influences the way we feel about getting older.

Does tracking your steps motivate you to walk more each day? Can monitoring your heart rate help you exercise more efficiently? Today, we're digging into all the science behind wearable technologies. That means everything from Fitbits to Smart Shoes to the everyday iPhone. Plus, the crew offers their best tips for when you want to get your body movin' and groovin'.

Money is more emotional than we think! It can stress us out, give us joy, and all the feelings in between. Today we're diving into the topic of financial wellness with a look at the emotional side of money, raising your credit score, saving for retirement, and how to take care of yourself through financial ups and downs.

Grief is complicated, much like a myriad of metaphors the gang comes up with! Learn how grief is defined and researched in the scientific community, the physical symptoms it can come with, and how we can help take care of ourselves through this universal human experience. Steven, Sophie, and Shannon tackle common questions around how we process grief, how we give ourselves (and each other) permission to grieve, and the unexpected gifts it can offer us.

Did you hear what happened? The gang talked about all the science of GOSSIP! Come spill the tea with us as we dig in deep on what defines gossip, how it can be good for you, and where it can slip too far into toxic territory.

What does your blood say about your health? Let's find out! This week, the gang is joined by Taylor Odell, a registered critical care nurse (and Shannon's little sister) who dishes out all the details on how to know what's in your blood, what to look for, and why getting your bloodwork done can help you take care of yourself.

The vitamin episode is here! How necessary is it to take that daily multivitamin and how do you pick a brand? Shannon, Sophie, and Steven unload their vitamin baggage and find out if supplements are really just sawdust.

Knock knock, it's season 3 at the door! We often think that daydreaming is a distraction, but the truth is, it can help us get creative, solve problems, and achieve our goals. Get all the science on why daydreaming is good for you, why scrolling your phone doesn't count, and why we should all be high-fiving each other more often.

Season 3 is almost here! Get ready for a new slate of self-care topics starting September 20th. Until then, let's kick back and learn all about sensory deprivation tanks. The gang hears a play-by-play of the experience from a special guest (and friend of the pod). Then, Shannon drops all the science gems. Is floating in a womb tank self-care, or self-square? Find out!

Is a vacation *really* the cure for the winter blues? Or any blues, ever? We'll explore the answer by diving into the science. Hear how Sophie, Steven, and Shannon have taken care of themselves on vacations past—or forgotten to, and paid for it later. And we'll talk about how to build mini-vacations into your daily life for longer lasting joy. Got an idea for an ep? Email us at thescienceofselfcare@gmail.com or Instagram @thescienceofselfcare

We're taking a wacky trip into the science of psychedelics! Join us as Dr. Shannon uncovers the facts about psychedelic drugs like mushrooms and LSD as a form of self-care, therapy, and post-traumatic stress treatment.

This week we're digging into the healing power of video games and whether they're good for us, bad for us, or somewhere in between! We're talking all the hits: from Animal Crossing to The Sims to Ballz (yes, Ballz). We also learn a lot (maybe too much?) about Steven, Shannon, and Sophie's upbringings, as always. Let us know what you think!

We're back! And we're getting to the bottom of whether Netflix and chill-ing is really good for you. Steven and Sophie describe their television self-care routines of yesteryear (and this year). Shannon breaks down what our brains loves about our favorite TV shows—and what that says about us as humans. Tune in!

We're back! Like, really, really back! To celebrate our first vaccinated, safe, in-person recording we're digging into the scientific benefits of what we missed most over the last year: HUMAN TOUCH! Shannon gives us all the touchy feely studies, and Steven and Sophie play a game guessing which emotion is behind specific forms of touch. We also land on the topic of robot dogs, somehow. Enjoy!

Today we're digging into the science behind positive thinking! Our conversation covers: bad improv shows, Sex and The City, The Secret, Octomom's kids, and, as always, yoga. We also talk about the difference between positive thinking and toxic positivity—and whether any study on the subject is truly unbiased. So say something nice to yourself and strap in!

Today we're brightening up our knowledge of therapy lamps! Shannon dishes out all the science about how blue light therapy can improve your sleep, mood, and motor function, and help folks who live with seasonal affective disorder. Sophie and Steven share impromptu stories of a jaundiced baby, drinking tea, and why they're both convinced blue light therapy is a tool for the apocalypse. Pjrek, E., Friedrich, M.

Sophie, Steven and Shannon are going back to their roots, exploring the ins and outs of improv comedy! Comedians Gary Richardson and Patrick Keene join them as they discuss the science of creativity, the power of "yes and" and what happens in our brains when we make choices on the spot.

We aren't just humans—we're walking, talking bags of bugs! This week we're chatting with biomedical engineer Dr. Ana Maria Porras about THE MICROBIOME! Grab a pen and paper and listen up as the doctor introduces us to what's living inside of us, our unique butt colonies, and how to treat our guts well. We promise it's actually not as gross as it sounds. Article reference: Bacteria on the Brain by Emily Eakin for The New Yorker

We're back for season two! Today we're talking about reading—an activity you may be doing more or less of in these pandemic times. We bring on one of our most literary-minded pals, comedian and writer Nicole Drespel, to discuss the science behind what makes reading a form of self-care. Special shout outs to Scholastic Book Fairs, Dawson's Creek, and your aunt's favorite, Danielle Steel. *TW: brief mention of sexual assault* Books we referenced: The Overstory by Richard Powers Little Weirds by Jenny Slate The Other End of the Leash by Patricia McConnell  In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado Dog Songs by Mary Oliver Muggie Maggie by Beverly Cleary  Study References: Kidd, David Comer, and Emanuele Castano. “Reading literary fiction improves theory of mind.” Science (New York, N.Y.) vol. 342,6156 (2013): 377-80. doi:10.1126/science.1239918 Berns, Gregory S et al. “Short- and long-term effects of a novel on connectivity in the brain.” Brain connectivity vol. 3,6 (2013): 590-600. doi:10.1089/brain.2013.0166 Cain, Kate, and Jane Oakhill. “Matthew effects in young readers: reading comprehension and reading experience aid vocabulary development.” Journal of learning disabilities vol. 44,5 (2011): 431-43. doi:10.1177/0022219411410042 Gualano, M R et al. “The long-term effects of bibliotherapy in depression treatment: Systematic review of randomized clinical trials.” Clinical psychology review vol. 58 (2017): 49-58. doi:10.1016/j.cpr.2017.09.006

We're hitting a stride (kind of) with our recordings from home! Today is all about nature, aka house plants for all the isolators out there. Steven tells us about his herbs, Sophie about her prayer plant, and Shannon about her Excel docs. We discover a lot of ways that plants are metaphors for life, and children and pets. But without all the poop, thank god. Send us pictures of your plants @thescienceofselfcare on Instagram or thescienceofselfcare@gmail.com.

This week we made ourselves listen to a lot more music, and learned how our listening habits affected our quarantine lifestyles. For Steven, it helped him sleep. For Sophie, it eased her mood. For Shannon, it did absolutely nothing. We want to hear how music is helping YOU cope (or not) with the stress of isolation, so hit us up! We're on Instagram @thescienceofselfcare or Twitter @SOSCpodcast. Deets and boops xo

Hope you're all staying safe and socially distanced out there! We're coming to you live (not really) from a zoom call in our respective homes. Each week we'll be experimenting with a different practice to help us stay sane amid the covid chaos. First up, we have meditation—specifically the goal of 3x daily for a week. Results were mixed! Hear how we did and let us know if you've tried meditating on your own and how it went. We're at @SOSCpodcast on Twitter and @thescienceofselfcare on Instagram. We love you!

Sip sip! Today we're discussing the highs and lows and middles of kombucha, everyone's favorite fermented tea. Shannon explains the drink's benefits, like blood sugar regulation and good gut bacteria, and Steven recounts how Greg has been making his own flavorful kombucha for years. Sophie decides she'll take it on as her next “focus project” and the trio agrees we all want to see your scoby! #showusyourscoby on Instagram @thescienceofselfcare or Twitter @SOSCpodcast. This is our last episode of the season! Thank you for listening along the way, and we'll see you soon for season two.

Prep your skin (and your ears) because we're exploring the science of face masks! Shannon walks Steven and Sophie through the components of our skin and what the most popular skincare ingredients do for it. We also get the final word on whether that fancy gold sheet mask is worth the price tag. Steven and Sophie dish about their favorite products and tell us how they got through years of teen acne—even though our good friend the zit never really goes away.

Sniff sniff, it's aromatherapy time! Steven and Sophie detail their usage of essential oils in self-care, from aromatic showers to skincare. Shannon gives a thorough science break down that explains not only how essential oils affect our brain, but how they can be used for focusing, feeling calm, and even soothing menstrual cramps. We also get hungry for chicken piccata, and we'd love your recipe.

Snuggle up and get cozy, it's ASMR time. Shannon explains what it is, how it works in your brain, and how it could help you take care of yourself in a few different ways. Steven tells us about his experiences of ASMR, which include going to the eye doctor, watching people bake, and getting his hair cut. Sophie admits she's never felt “the tingles” but refuses to believe it's not sexual. Let us know what you think of ASMR on Instagram @thescienceofselfcare or Twitter @SOSCpodcast. And check out our Patreon at patreon.com/scienceofselfcare.

Your pets are more than just companions—they're self-care! Steven, Sophie and Shannon heat up the age-old debate of cats versus dogs, and add on versus fish and versus squirrels too. Shannon explains the ways that pets are pretty much our babies (literally) and what happens in our brains when we're around them. We highly suggest pairing this episode with the bouncy puppy meme.

In honor of the holiday season, we're taking time to dive into how giving gifts can be a form of self-care. Steven shocks us with his organic, freestyle card-writing, and Sophie tells us about the best gift she's ever given someone. Shannon thinks she's bad at giving gifts but certainly knows her way around a personalized mug. Happy listening and happy holidays!

Cheers! It's our wine episode! Steven reminds us that like Lady Gaga, he is Italian, and his family has the homemade wine to prove it. Sophie pairs her wine with a pizza as all grown women should. Shannon tells us about the ancient drink's polyphenols and why it's linked to preventing lots of "big ole diseases." Then we each choose our wine mantras but agree: everything in moderation!

Shannon is back from the lab, so the gang's all here! Today we're talking about acupuncture. Steven tells us about his first acupuncture appointment where he twerked on a desk, and Sophie recalls multiple pro-needle stories. Shannon offers up the research on meridians, Qi, and everything in between. We also reminisce on the year 2007—the year of Britney's Blackout album.

***Trigger warning: our discussion and explanation of EMDR therapy includes mention of sexual assault*** Toot toot, all aboard! We're riding our train of self-care chats again this week and it's a special MOM episode! Sophie and Steven speak with therapist and EMDR specialist (and Sophie's mom) Helen Orton. EMDR is a psychotherapy treatment for anyone who may be dealing with trauma of any kind in their lives—you are not alone!

We welcome our first-ever podcast guest, comedian and writer Alex Song, to discuss the ways we take care of ourselves mentally and emotionally. We cover the ups and downs of therapy, the ocean as a metaphor for life, and how to best support the people around you. #jumpwhenthewavescome Follow us on Instagram @thescienceofselfcare and if you want to reach out, send us an email at thescienceofselfcare@gmail.com

Hold onto your dunkaccinos—it's the coffee episode! Shannon embraces her maternal instincts and guides us through the science-backed pros and cons of caffeine as self-care. Steven brags about his work's coffee provisions and Sophie brags about finally being able to stomach it without...repercussions. We also fall in love with whatever "cafestol" is and do surprisingly well at guessing coffee facts. Donate to our patreon!

It's finally here—our crystals episode! We learn all the science-backed reasons why we're attracted to crystals, what they do for us, and how many ways we encounter them every day. Shannon and Steven's friendship is tested, Sophie searches for confidence, and we all fight over the validity of a saltine-themed study (but like, in a fun way). Get sparkly with us at our Patreon page, patreon.com/scienceofselfcare and we'll reward you with extra episodes!

Music — ever heard of it? This week we learn all about the ways music can regulate our emotions, physically affect our bodies, and yes, arouse us. Steven gives us some incredible Madonna recommendations, Sophie tells a story about a woman in a hat, and Shannon makes us question whether playing music = being *into* music. We also conclude hospitals should come with sound booths for pumping up the jams (if that's what people want) and "Extreme Country" is a very real yet unofficial music genre. Check out the Spotify playlist that comes with this episode! And while you're there, follow us!

We learn SO much in this episode! Shannon offers a deep dive on cupping—its types, benefits, nuances, and surprising connection to bloodletting (yikes!). Then we cup ourselves LIVE on the air for you! Don't worry, we offer a running commentary and hear even more about Steven's pain tolerance. Other things we learn: Sophie is related to Meredith Brooks and Shannon once had a "mealy" upper lip.

In this episode, we consider all the different parts of nature, from plants to sun to trees—and learn about how and why they affect us. Steven the plant king tends to his plants, Sophie the nature girl walks through the woods, and Shannon works undercover for big forest (or is it big highways?). We also create our own catchphrase and continue to refuse to Google anything.

What does our skin have in common with bagels? Listen to find out! Sophie and Steven discuss their forays into hydration with Shannon, who gives the 411 on the effect water has on everything from weight to wrinkles. We also chat about what you can do at home to stay #hydrated 24/7 without going overboard. Splish splash!

Was child-aged Shannon correct in thinking meditation was just drugs? Honestly, YEAH 100%. In this episode we learn about the effects of meditation on our brains and Steven and Sophie experiment with apps and in-person classes. Bottom line: get thicc (telomeres)!

Do we *really* need to sleep as much as we think? The answer is YES! Neuroscientist (and hardboiled egg) Shannon Odell joins wellness-obsessed comedians Steven Polletta and Sophie Yalkezian to crack open the science behind our sleep and the many reasons why we find ourselves awake at night. We also reveal the truth that Pixar's Inside Out is actually a documentary. Follow us on social media! Instagram: @thescienceofselfcare Twitter: @SOSCpodcast Have a question?
