Here's your invitation to slow down, tune in, and truly support yourself through the midlife transition. Because all the changes in menopause, emotionally and physically, can seriously rock your identity. That's why I've invited mindfulness expert Rosie Acosta on the podcast to explore the intersection of mindfulness and menopause, and how being in a community with other women can make this season of life feel less isolating and so much more empowering. Rosie shares how anxiety can become a messenger to your body rather than an enemy, and offers simple breathing techniques so you can feel grounded anytime, anywhere. Together, we redefine what womanhood and wellness look like in midlife and beyond—more connected and more intentional than ever. Listen now to feel seen and inspired on your midlife journey! Rosie Acosta Rosie Acosta is a mindfulness teacher at Headspace and author of You Are Radically Loved: A Healing Journey to Self-Love. With over 20 years of study and a decade of teaching, she's led transformative retreats, workshops, and teacher trainings worldwide. A devoted advocate for equity and intergenerational healing, she volunteers with the Re-Evolution Prison Project and is earning her Master's in Clinical Psychology at Pepperdine. She's also the host of The Radically Well Podcast. IN THIS EPISODE What relationships and community in midlife should look like How to use mindfulness to support changes in menopause Mindful ways to manage anxiety rather than fighting against it The uptick in early perimenopause and autoimmune disorders Using mindfulness to shift the menopause narrative What radical love looks like for a woman in midlife Embracing change and your evolving identity in menopause About Rosie's Book: You Are Radically Loved QUOTES “As a perimenopause expert, it's like a moving target. Something that worked one day might not work the next. I think if I had to give the people listening right now just one technique that works, it's learning how to use your breath to ground, to create safety even if it's just for a couple of minutes.” “I think the more that we have conversations like this, the more normalized it will become, and the more normalized having these conversations will become. It gives us the empowerment and the invitation to ask questions, to ask our doctors to do the right types of tests, to get different opinions, to explore.” “Radical love to me means embracing the whole of who you are.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order Rosie's book: YOU ARE RADICALLY LOVED https://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Radically-Loved-Self-Love/dp/0593330153 Order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Use code ENERGIZED and get $100 off on your first CAROL Bike order https://carolbike.pxf.io/GK3LaE Rosie on Instagram Rosie Acosta on Substack Check out Rosie's Podcast: The Radically Well Podcast RELATED EPISODES #629: Unlocking Emotional Resilience with Awareness, Lifestyle and Tools to Regulate Your Stress Triggers with Dr. Drew Ramsey #692: Why Emotional Healing is Hormone Healing-The New Path to Midlife Empowerment with Ashley Turner #565: How to Live in a State of Ease and Flow vs. Overwhelm and Resentment + Reclaiming Your Aliveness with Alexi Panos #598: Break the Cycle of Burnout, Anxiety, and Fear by Tapping into Heart Coherence with Kimberly Snyder
Feeling a bit lost in midlife? This is a MASSIVE transition physically and emotionally, so it's easy to feel like you're just not who you once were. In this episode, I sit down with the wonderful Elena Brower to discuss navigating midlife with more grace, spaciousness, and self-trust. As a seasoned meditation and yoga instructor, Elena reminds us that this season of life is truly about letting go—releasing what no longer serves you and creating room for what deeply matters now. Through the stories and practices in her new book, Hold Nothing, she offers a grounded pathway for prioritizing yourself, your energy, and your evolving needs without apology. We explore how midlife asks us to choose what gets to take center stage today… and you can bet it's different from what mattered most to you five, ten, or twenty years ago. So if you're craving care, patience, and encouragement as you move through hormonal shifts and midlife transitions, this conversation is just for you! Elena Brower Elena Brower is an international yoga and meditation teacher on Glo, guiding transformative practices for over 25 years. She's the author of Art of Attention: A Yoga Practice Workbook for Movement as Meditation, and just published her newest book, Hold Nothing. Elena is a mother, mentor, poet, artist, volunteer, bestselling author, and host of the Practice You Podcast, where she supports women through life's transitions, encouraging presence, care, and openness. IN THIS EPISODE Exploring the concept and benefits of “holding nothing” Emphasizing the importance of relationships Healthy parenting techniques for fostering trust Remaining steady and patient in unexpected circumstances How your body physiologically responds to stress Practicing Zen Meditation Lifestyle recommendations for midlife transitions QUOTES “This ritual of sitting in the morning became the steadfast rule. And this is where it almost feels like I'm taking a shower for my mind– getting rid of all the doubt, the fear, the frustration, the angst, the anxiety, the anger… And when I finally took it on, it actually made a huge difference in who I am and how I show up, particularly in my parenting, but also in every other realm.” “Those situations are really important to keep close. Those are the ones that are going to help us really practice and learn how to die, and that's kind of the next step, the next practice, living as fully with as much love and fun as we can, as much care and consideration as we can, and dying well.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Use code DRMARIZA and get 15% off on your Silverbiotics order https://silverbiotics.com/discount/drmariza Order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Order Elena's Book: Hold Nothing https://elenabrower.com/holdnothing Dr. Mariza's Ultimate Morning Self-Care Guide & Sign up for her FREE Virtual Workshop: The Altar of Your Heart Elena Brower's Website Elena on Substack Elena on Instagram Elena's Podcast: PRACTICE YOU RELATED EPISODES 692: Why Emotional Healing is Hormone Healing-The New Path to Midlife Empowerment with Ashley Turner 690: The Perimenopause Revolution: Why midlife isn't the end — it's the beginning of your most energized, powerful, and vibrant self 685: End Emotional Outsourcing: Break Free from Codependency, Perfectionism & People-Pleasing with Beatriz Albina #629: Unlocking Emotional Resilience with Awareness, Lifestyle and Tools to Regulate Your Stress Triggers with Dr. Drew Ramsey

Hey Heal Squad! In honor of National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month, we thought to dive into all things, brain health. Our brains shape everything… focus, emotions, habits, decisions, yet most of us spend more time caring for our skin than our mind. So, we're breaking down what it actually means to support a healthier, stronger, more resilient brain. You'll hear insights from four of the top voices in brain science: Dr. Daniel Amen on identifying your unique brain type, Jim Kwik on training your mind with simple daily habits, Dr. Drew Ramsey on the foods that fuel (or drain) your focus, and Dr. Caroline Leaf on rewiring negative thoughts and emotional patterns. From nutrition to morning rituals to neuroplasticity, this episode will help you understand how adaptable your brain really is, and how small, consistent choices can improve your mood, memory, focus, and long-term brain health. Here's your reminder to take care of your brain health today!

Ever feel like you're losing yourself in midlife? In this powerful episode, I'm sitting down with expert Ashley Turner to explore the deeper meaning behind midlife hormonal changes in perimenopause and menopause. Ashley helps you discover how perimenopause can be a profound reckoning, discussing how this stage of life invites us to shift from ego-driven goals toward greater purpose and compassion for others… and more importantly, for yourself. Ashley beautifully reframes midlife as not an ending, but a spiritual awakening — a chance to realign with who we are and what we value. We also dive into how embracing this change can spark healing, empowerment, and advocacy for ourselves and others. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that will leave you ready to step into your next chapter with grace and intention. Ashley Turner Ashley Turner is a Licensed Psychotherapist, Psychedelic Therapist, renowned yoga–meditation teacher, writer, facilitator, speaker, and 7-figure entrepreneur. Her mission is to serve women – especially those in midlife and menopause. She helps visionary leaders tap into their confidence and amplify their wisdom, vision, and voice by embodying their full feminine power. Her own personal midlife struggles led her to found her Metamorphosis: Midlife & Menopause Mentorship and The Haven Membership. Ashley has been featured in media outlets such as The Washington Post, Shape, Self, Women's Health, Yoga Journal, Health, MindBodyGreen, Well+Good, Sounds True, and many more. IN THIS EPISODE Recognizing the symptoms of perimenopause Ashley's work supporting women mentally and emotionally How hormones can help some but not ALL symptoms Why being intentional about your choices matters more in midlife Lifestyle habits for optimal physical and mental health How we can shift the culture around perimenopause awareness How to cultivate your sense of community in midlife How Perimenoapuse can be one of your greatest teachers QUOTES “Once I got on the hormones, that was extremely helpful and it totally saved my life, and I love them… [but] it didn't solve all my problems. There's still a huge developmental phase that we're going through as women. People going through menopause, huge transitions in our sense of self, our ambition, our drive, who we are, our identity, of course sexuality, and that's a lot to manage on top of everything else that's happening in life.” “For a lot of women, it's taking 4 to 6 appointments for doctors to connect the dots between what they're going through and it being perimenopause and menopause. And what that does is it delays care, it delays treatment, and it delays a woman's quality of life.” “I think telling the stories and sharing really authentically and vulnerably and transparently is such an important piece of this because we heal together. We are changing culture. We are weaving a new sisterhood, a new ethos. We also have to educate our partners, our children, our work environments, and really shape shift the culture.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order my new book The Perimenopause Revolution https://drmariza.com/book Use code ENERGIZED and get 20% off on your Timeline order http://timeline.com/ENERGIZED Ashley Turner The Haven Community Metamorphosis: Master Menopause and Midlife Ashley Turner on Instagram RELATED EPISODES 690: The Perimenopause Revolution: Why midlife isn't the end — it's the beginning of your most energized, powerful, and vibrant self 689: The Hidden Brain Shift: Why Perimenopause Symptoms Start Earlier Than You Think 685: End Emotional Outsourcing: Break Free from Codependency, Perfectionism & People-Pleasing with Beatriz Albina #629: Unlocking Emotional Resilience with Awareness, Lifestyle and Tools to Regulate Your Stress Triggers with Dr. Drew Ramsey

What do you really want the second half of your life to look like? Being a doormat for others, then resenting it? Saying yes, when you really mean no? Doing more tasks or more work, taking responsibility for everything, and feeling overwhelmed in your life? This can be how so many of us in midlife feel, but I'm here to tell you there IS another way. In this episode, I sit down with expert Beatriz Albina to talk about a challenge so many women face but can't always name—patterns of overgiving, perfectionism, and the ultimate people-pleasing trap. Beatriz introduces the concept of emotional outsourcing and how it quietly drives these behaviors, leaving us feeling stuck and drained. Together, we discuss how reframing your mindset is a powerful tool for reclaiming your emotional well-being. Plus, Beatriz gives us a sneak peek into her brand-new book, End Emotional Outsourcing—a guide to finding freedom, balance, and true self-connection. Tune in here to reignite joy in your life, and find the inner peace you've been craving for years! Beatriz Albina Beatriz (Béa) Albina, NP, MPH, SEP (she/her) is a UCSF-trained Family Nurse Practitioner, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Master Certified Somatic Life Coach, and author of the book "End Emotional Outsourcing: a Guide to Overcoming Codependent, Perfectionist and People Pleasing Habits".

Béa hosts the Feminist Wellness Podcast, and holds a Master's degree in Public Health from Boston University School of Public Health and a BA in Latin American Studies from Oberlin College. IN THIS EPISODE What is emotional outsourcing, and how can it impact women? Getting back to the basics for our emotional needs How our emotions lie in our nervous system– not just our minds Calming techniques you can do in 5 seconds, anytime, anywhere Detaching from labels like ‘co-dependent' and ‘perfectionist' How to stay regulated while also setting boundaries Why reframing your mindset is so important for healing All about Beatriz's book: End Emotional Outsourcing QUOTES “This is what happens when we get activated or triggered in our nervous system. When we start being mean to ourselves, when we ignore our impulses, when we project, when we take things personally, when we get offended, all these things– our nervous system is in a different time and place.” “That's the self-worth work. Saying, ‘I trust myself, I believe in myself, and so I know that this isn't a problem.' And that's that. Not allowing any other thoughts to enter your beautiful mind space, your world, your body. It's really vital work.” “What our children and our partners, and our friends and our communities and ourselves want and need from us the most, most, most, is presence. Intunement and presence.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Use code ENERGIZED and get $100 off on your CAROL Bike purchase https://carolbike.pxf.io/GK3LaE Preorder the Perimenopause Revolution and get your VIP ticket to the Perimenopause Solution event http://hayh.site/pr_bl_ap-snyder_a_opt Order Béa's book: End Emotional Outsourcing HERE http://beatrizalbina.com/book Béa's Website Béa's Instagram RELATED EPISODES #629: Unlocking Emotional Resilience with Awareness, Lifestyle and Tools to Regulate Your Stress Triggers with Dr. Drew Ramsey #553: Simple Ways to Start Feeling Calm and Safe and How to Align Your Nervous System for More Abundance with Kate Northrup #565: How to Live in a State of Ease and Flow vs. Overwhelm and Resentment + Reclaiming Your Aliveness with Alexi Panos #569: How to Build a Strong Emotional Connection with Your Partner and How to Transform Your Love Life with Vanessa and Xander Marin
So many women in midlife are running on fumes—stretched thin, burned out, and downplaying what they've experienced just to make it through the day. But all that stress can show up in your physical body, affecting your biology at a cellular level. That's why in this episode, I'm sitting down with trauma and biology expert Dr. Aimie Apigian to uncover how unprocessed trauma can manifest in the form of physical symptoms. Dr. Aimie shares how overtime, those hidden shifts can alter your immune system and even set the stage for disease years later. The good news? Healing doesn't have to be complicated! Dr. Aimie introduces simple practices that can help you shift your inner state in seconds and learn to process your trauma with care. Tune in here to explore how reconnecting with your biology can help you feel more alive than ever!

She has masters in biochemistry and public health and specialized training in Psychosomatic Medicine, Functional Medicine, and Mental Health Nutrition.

IN THIS EPISODE How the body biologically absorbs experiences of trauma Recognizing adaptations and better managing reactions The importance of finding safety in the whole body How your lifestyle affects your emotions Why effective healing from trauma takes time and work Stress biology vs. trauma biology All about Dr. Aimie's new book: The Biology of Trauma QUOTES “Anything that overwhelms our capacity to respond becomes a trauma for our body. And those changes impact us down to the cellular level– the immune system level. They are what become our diseases often decades later.” “The greatest impact on their life was me teaching them a few simple somatic self-practices that could shift their inner state to one safe enough within seconds.” “It really shifted my perspective to know how much more alive I could be– I don't even know the possibilities because I've never lived that. I've never been that. I've never been that version of myself. And it keeps me in a place of curiosity, it keeps me in a place of learning.”RESOURCES MENTIONED
What if there were chemicals in the air and energy charges in the ground that benefit your brain for better clarity and protection against mental illness? This is what today's guest has written about in his research and why his prescriptions for better mental health include nature, food, movement, and gratitude.In this episode I'm joined by Dr. Drew Ramsey, board-certified psychiatrist, author, and pioneer in nutritional psychiatry, to talk about how we can strengthen our mental fitness in today's world.We explore:
Reports indicate that more than 50 million Americans live with a mental health concern — a growing number that likely leaves out many more who haven't admitted to dealing with such issues. What's more, many across both groups are not receiving the help they need. Yet as science and understanding around mental health have evolved, we now know there are proactive steps we can take with our lifestyle to improve our mental well-being and combat the challenges placed on our modern brains.

What if everything you've been told about mental health is backwards? In part 2 of this episode of the Medical Disruptor, Dr. Drew Ramsey discusses daily habits and explains why you should train your brain like a muscle instead. In this episode, discover the daily habits that actually build mental strength - from what you eat to how you connect with others. Dr. Ramsey reveals why your relationships matter more for happiness than your income, how nature changes your body chemistry, and the trauma you don't even know you're carrying. You'll learn why most mental health advice keeps you stuck and how your kitchen choices directly impact your mood and focus. We explore the connection between relationships and long-term brain health, why nature is essential for mental resilience, and the "unburdening process" most therapy misses. Dr. Ramsey also explains how to build purpose instead of waiting to "find" it. This is about rewiring how you live so your brain can function the way it's designed to. This conversation challenges the conventional wisdom about mental health and presents a more practical approach to psychological strength.

Cold Open Transcript: Gabe Howard: People psych themselves out and say, oh, well, I put butter on my broccoli. I've ruined it. Everybody seems to think that if they're not a raw vegan, then there's no point in eating healthy. And I think that's a mistake. Drew Ramsey, MD: That's a huge mistake. It's also not what the data says, if you look at research. What I've tried to bring to the mental health world is the notion that we need to think about food when we're thinking about things like depression, anxiety, bipolar illness, trauma recovery, substance use disorders, psychotic disorders, all of these have big nutritional implications.

Hey Heal Squad! We're diving into the delicious side of healing this week with psychiatrist and nutritional wellness pioneer Dr. Drew Ramsey! Let's just say, this convo might completely change how you think about food and your brain… Dr. Ramsey breaks down how what we eat directly impacts anxiety, depression, and brain fog—and how simple nutrient upgrades can supercharge your mental health. We talk about dopamine, gut-brain connection, why your serotonin might be stuck, and what to do when anxiety makes you feel like you're spiraling. Plus, we get into “brain food swaps” (yes, even for sugar and coffee), why magnesium is underrated, and the powerful foods that can actually help you heal—like seafood, dark chocolate, and yes… even certain carbs.If you're ready to feed your mind AND feel better in your body, you're gonna love this one! -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/ Join the In-Person Heal Retreat: https://www.canyonranch.com/stay/events/heal-retreat-with-maria-menounos/?location=lenox DR DREW RAMSEY RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drewramseymd/?hl=en Website: https://drewramseymd.com/ ‘Healing The Modern Brain' Book: https://go.shopmy.us/p-19597042 ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

What does your diet have to do with your mood? Is mercury in fish really dangerous? Psychiatrist Dr. Drew Ramsey joins Michael Shermer to discuss the science behind nutritional psychiatry and how food, sleep, exercise, and social habits influence brain health. They explore why mental health issues are rising—especially among teens—and what role parenting, social media, and modern lifestyles play. The conversation also covers the effectiveness of SSRIs and other treatments, the role of inflammation in mental health, and the importance of sleep and tracking sleep quality. Drew Ramsey, MD is a board-certified psychiatrist, author, and leading voice in Nutritional Psychiatry and integrative mental health. He is a Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association. For twenty years, he served as an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at Columbia University. He has authored four books, including the international bestseller Eat to Beat Depression and Anxiety. His new book is Healing the Modern Brain.
When we hear the word “codependent,” we often picture someone clinging to toxic relationships or constantly rescuing others. But the brilliant psychotherapist and boundary expert Terri Cole challenges this idea, revealing how capable, competent, and successful people can struggle with codependent patterns too, just hidden under the mask of over-functioning and over-investing in people's lives. Doing it all? That's the problem. In this episode, Terri shares how our deep desire for peace and control can drive us to do too much for others—emotionally, mentally, and physically— even at the cost of our own well-being. This conversation is a loving nudge to pause and ask: “What am I doing for others that they could be doing for themselves?” We explore how stepping out of this “handle-it-all” mindset isn't just freeing—it's life-changing. Tune in to this episode to learn to overcome high-functioning codependence and find ease, joy, fun, balance, and healthier relationships in your life! Terri Cole Terri Cole is a licensed psychotherapist and global relationship and empowerment expert. She's the author of the books Boundary Boss and Too Much. For over 20 years, Terri has worked with a diverse group of clients– from stay-at-home moms to celebrities and Fortune 500 CEOs. She makes complex psychological concepts accessible and actionable so the people she works with can achieve sustainable change. IN THIS EPISODE Understanding the term “high-functioning codependency” Physical manifestations of being a high-functioning codependent Helpful ways to set and maintain boundaries with others Addressing resentment in a relationship Why burnout is common among high-functioning codependents Letting go of intervening to “help” others & focusing on yourself QUOTES “You see it as well, that high functioning codependence. We give too many F's for too long about all the things and all the people… and perfectionism and making sure everything gets done.” “There are ways we can help children and people we love find their own answers without therapizing them. But giving them our answers is not loving. It's treating people as projects.” “When you spend decades of your life checking boxes that someone else constructed, you end up with this existential crisis of loneliness– like, ‘wow, people do not know ME'.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Get The HFC Toolkit: Simplify & Do Less video lesson with integrative exercises & meditations Terri's Website Order Terri's Book Too Much HERE High-quality olive oil: go to www.getfreshenergized.com to get your free $39 bottle for just $1 shipping.

This practice not only enhances physical well-being but also nurtures emotional resilience. Nutrition is another critical aspect we explore. Dr. Ramsey discusses the significance of paying attention to how our diets can affect anxiety levels, pointing out the roles of certain foods and the benefits of fermented items. The conversation unveils research that links dietary choices to our mental states, advocating for mindful eating habits to foster a healthier relationship with food and, by extension, with ourselves. The exploration of food sensitivities and how they can manifest as anxiety brings a nuanced understanding to our conversations around nutrition. #MentalHealth, #Anxiety, #Depression, #Nutrition, #Movement, #Exercise, #Sleep, #Connection, #Mindfulness, #Nature, #Trauma, #SelfCare, #HolisticHealth, #Wellness, #Wellbeing, #Psychology, #Therapy, #DrewRamsey, #HealingTheModernBrain, #MentalFitness, #WellbeingJourney, #GinaRyan, #ACP, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.

You know that feeling you get when you eat comfort food? There is something magical about it. This episode begins by exploring why some foods become comfort food while other food does not and what causes us to feel so fondly about certain foods but not others. https://www.buffalo.edu/news/releases/2015/03/052.html What are the secrets to being a successful adult? That's a hard question to answer but Gretchen Rubin joins me to take a swing at it. Gretchen is wildly successful expert on happiness having written books on the topic and she is also host of the podcast Happier with Gretchen Rubin. (https://gretchenrubin.com/podcasts/). Her latest book is called Secrets of Adulthood: Simple Truths for Our Complex Lives (https://amzn.to/3RutUfP). What's fun is that Gretchen writes about adulthood in aphorisms – short saying that say a lot. Here's one to give you a sample: "Don't do something to make yourself feel better if it is only going to make you feel worse.” Listen as Gretchen frames adulthood in these easy to digest nuggets and offers some valuable insight. Do you have good mental health? What does that even mean – to have good mental health? That is what Dr. Drew Ramsey is here to discuss> He is a board-certified psychiatrist, and pioneer in nutritional psychiatry and mental fitness and an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at Columbia University. Dr. Ramsey says there is strong evidence that our lifestyle can have a big impact on mental health and that we can do things to build our mental fitness in much the same way as we can improve our physical fitness.

We delve deeper into the intricate relationship between self-awareness and mental health, emphasizing that this crucial skill requires continuous nurturing throughout different life stages. Through the lens of Dr. Ramsey's book, "Healing the Modern Brain," we explore scientifically-backed strategies for enhancing self-awareness, notably the practice of journaling. Dr. Ramsey articulates how self-reflective processes, such as journaling, can activate our prefrontal cortex—a vital area of the brain linked to decision-making and executive functioning. He shares practical advice for incorporating journaling into our daily routines, pointing out how just a few minutes can significantly enhance our emotional clarity and mental fitness. We also discuss real-world applications and personal anecdotes that highlight the transformative power of self-awareness. One particularly poignant story involves Charlotte, a woman whose pandemic-driven drinking habits led her to seek help. Through self-awareness and a structured accountability process, she achieved remarkable change, illustrating how building awareness can lay the foundation for recovery from challenges such as substance abuse. The conversation invites listeners to consider their own mental health journeys and the pivotal role self-awareness plays in them. #anxietyrelief #mentalhealthmatters #nutritionmatters #selfcare #braingames #urbanlife #neuroscience #socialconnection #emotionalintelligence #journalingprompts #wellnessjourney #mentalstrength #depressionawareness #therapyworks #lifecoaching #healthyliving #dietplan #foodismedicine #scientificresearch #clinicaltrials #psychologicalwellbeing #behavioralhealth #traumainformed #sleephygiene #communitysupport #lifestylemedicine #preventativecare #mentalhealthawarenessday #alternativemedicine #holistichealth #GinaRyan #ACP #AnxietyCoachesPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.

We delve deeper into the intricate relationship between self-awareness and mental health, emphasizing that this crucial skill requires continuous nurturing throughout different life stages. Through the lens of Dr. Ramsey's book, "Healing the Modern Brain," we explore scientifically-backed strategies for enhancing self-awareness, notably the practice of journaling. Dr. Ramsey articulates how self-reflective processes, such as journaling, can activate our prefrontal cortex—a vital area of the brain linked to decision-making and executive functioning. He shares practical advice for incorporating journaling into our daily routines, pointing out how just a few minutes can significantly enhance our emotional clarity and mental fitness. We also discuss real-world applications and personal anecdotes that highlight the transformative power of self-awareness. One particularly poignant story involves Charlotte, a woman whose pandemic-driven drinking habits led her to seek help. Through self-awareness and a structured accountability process, she achieved remarkable change, illustrating how building awareness can lay the foundation for recovery from challenges such as substance abuse. The conversation invites listeners to consider their own mental health journeys and the pivotal role self-awareness plays in them. #anxietyrelief #mentalhealthmatters #nutritionmatters #selfcare #braingames #urbanlife #neuroscience #socialconnection #emotionalintelligence #journalingprompts #wellnessjourney #mentalstrength #depressionawareness #therapyworks #lifecoaching #healthyliving #dietplan #foodismedicine #scientificresearch #clinicaltrials #psychologicalwellbeing #behavioralhealth #traumainformed #sleephygiene #communitysupport #lifestylemedicine #preventativecare #mentalhealthawarenessday #alternativemedicine #holistichealth #GinaRyan #ACP #AnxietyCoachesPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.
