Podcasts about brain body connection

SummaryIn this series of Confidence Rewired, Winning Season Podcast host Jacqueline Twillie delves into the intricacies of confidence, particularly how it can be affected by setbacks and stress. She introduces the concept of the brain's confidence center, the ventral medial prefrontal cortex, and discusses the importance of an identity anchor in maintaining self-assurance. Through personal anecdotes and scientific insights, Jacqueline emphasizes the significance of grounding oneself in individual values and experiences to combat self-doubt and enhance resilience.TakeawaysThe ventral medial prefrontal cortex is crucial for confidence.Identity anchors help stabilize confidence under pressure.Self-doubt often arises from internal alarms, not external validation.Grounding in personal values is key to overcoming self-doubt.Confidence can be affected by environments outside of one's expertise.The brain-body connection plays a significant role in confidence.Reflecting on purpose strengthens resilience and confidence.Performance-based confidence is less stable than identity-based confidence.Understanding your values can lower threat responses in stressful situations.Deep reflection on identity leads to more sustainable confidence.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Confidence and Setbacks00:58 Understanding the Confidence Center06:28 The Brain-Body Connection and Resilience

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I discuss interoception, the brain's ability to sense and interpret signals from the body, which shapes our sense of self and underlies vital functions like focus, sleep, healing and emotions. I explain how the body communicates different types of information to the brain, influencing processes like digestion, heart rate and immune function. I also describe practical tools such as breathwork to regulate alertness, strategies to support gut health and reduce sugar cravings, and awareness practices to enhance interoception. By understanding and applying these tools, you can strengthen the brain-body connection to improve mood, overall health and performance. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

What if you could rewrite the code of your personality—on command? Not just cope with anxiety, overthinking, or social exhaustion… but delete the traits holding you back and install better ones? This episode challenges everything you've been told about identity. Dave dives deep into the science of personality change to reveal why your habits, moods, triggers, and even sense of self aren't fixed—they're fluid. And more importantly: they're up for grabs.

In this episode, I explain a specific writing protocol shown in hundreds of scientific studies to significantly improve immediate and long-term health. I explain how to implement this specific protocol, which takes only four days and 15-30 minutes per day. I also explain the mechanism for how the four-day writing protocol affects neuroplasticity (brain rewiring) and brain function in the short and long term. I explain how these brain changes positively impact our physical health, including our system's immune function and thus our ability to combat infections, improve sleep, reduce feelings of physical and emotional pain, lower anxiety, and bring about healing from traumas. This episode ought to be of interest to anyone seeking better mental and/or physical health through the use of brief yet highly effective science-supported protocols.

My guest this time is psychotherapist Paula Rastrick, creator of The Brain-Body Method - an integrated trauma informed approach to menopause for Highly Sensitive Women.   Paula's story has a good many twists and turns - from a career in HR to moving into sports science and medicine working with a Premier League football team, to then setting up her own physio, yoga and pilates business…in her own words “a high-functioning stress-head”, she started to unravel as she unwittingly hit perimenopause.    An ad for a private menopause clinic in 2017 led her down the path of believing HRT would be the answer to her prayers, but unfortunately for her, the high dose of oestrogen that she was started on only led to further ‘unravelling' - including leaving her husband and young son for a time.   Persistent heavy bleeding combined with the psychological symptoms that were worsening eventually led to the realisation that the prescription she had been given was out of balance - with high oestrogen unopposed with sufficient progesterone. Her subsequent research, delving into her own history of complex childhood trauma, and how this, combined with being a Highly Sensitive Person, made her more susceptible to the impacts of oestrogen have formed the body of her current work on the interplay between trauma, SPS (Sensory Processing Sensitivity) and perimenopause.    In this conversation we dig into: What it actually means to be a Highly Sensitive Person (aka someone with Sensory Processing Sensitivity) - how many of us may be HSPs and how that impacts on the brain and nervous system How unsafe environments, particularly in childhood, prime our nervous system to be hypervigiliant, and trauma rewires the developing brain How HSPs may be more sensitive to medication - including hormone therapy How repressed trauma often pops us in perimenopause How “shoving the sh*t back in the cupboard” tends to backfire eventually…   If, like me, you're fascinated by the interplay between trauma and menopause symptoms, then you won't want to miss this one!   You can find out more about Paula's work at https://thebrainbodymethod.com and find her on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/mrspaularastrick/    You can also find us over on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/middlingalong_podcast/ and you can listen to past episodes at https://middlingalong.com     Join our newsletter, The Messy Middle, for fortnightly goodness into your Inbox: https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/323784/90772270045202190/share    We're delighted to be listed as one of the Top 25 podcasts for midlife and menopause here: https://www.lattelounge.co.uk/podcasts-about-the-menopause/ It would mean so much if you'd subscribe, rate, and review us to share the love and help others find the podcast too!  You can also find me at https://www.instagram.com/managingthemenopause  or at www.managingthemenopause.com where we offer 1-1 coaching and workplace training.  Get our free 'Guide to your GP appointment' at https://www.managingthemenopause.com/free-resources

When we talk about mindset, we generally talk about intentionally thinking more useful thoughts.

She designs health programs specifically for physicians, giving her clients the tools they need to achieve optimal mental, emotional, and physical health. We're discussing why bringing in this physical aspect as you work on your mindset will transform the way you think and feel about money.   Get full information and show notes here: https://wealthymommd.com/181
