Podcasts about mindfulness based cognitive therapy

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I'm sitting with something that has weighed on so many of us for far too long — the relentless mental noise around food, what I call food chatter, and what it actually takes to quiet it for good. I'm not talking about another meal plan or a new set of rules. I'm talking about what is happening in your brain when the spiral starts, and the two science-backed strategies that peer-reviewed research has proven can interrupt it. We dig into Rumination-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy — which sounds clinical but is honestly one of the most practical tools I've come across — and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, which teaches you to watch a thought without obeying it, and why that single skill changes everything around food obsession. I also share a story about my sister that still lives in my heart, talk about what my son and the Game of Thrones soundtrack taught me about dropping resistance, and make the case for why sitting down to eat your meal is one of the most underrated acts of self-respect you can give yourself. This episode is grounded in real research, real life, and the kind of honest conversation I hope feels like a walk with a good friend.Quote of the Week: "True silence isn't the complete absence of thoughts; it is the act of stepping back and watching your thoughts without attaching to them or fighting them. When you stop struggling against your mental chatter, it loses its power over you." - Anonymous Citations:1.    Morillo-Sarto, H., et al. (2023).

Growing, cooking and sharing food is an important source of connection and fulfillment for Janelle Coggan. From picking veggies with her grandmother as a child, to making tomato chutney for all her neighbours to sharing seeds with the postman, it's a way of caring for herself and others.  Nelle has 40 years of experience as an educator, instructor, and practitioner in Kinesiology, Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy and also holds a master's degree in special education.  Nelle's own lived experience of childhood trauma and subsequent extensive studies in trauma informed practice has supported her to develop her empathic skill set to a highly tuned frequency enabling her clients to move through their issues lovingly supported through each tiny step. During our chat, Nelle shares how self care has become non negotiable for her since suffering from burn out a few years ago. She explains how tuning in and responding to not only her physical needs but also her emotional and spiritual needs became paramount.  We agree that in our busy lives, we've forgotten how to be still and the value of allowing our minds to have some space to be quiet.

Imagine a world where your eyes not only reveal the state of your vision but also serve as windows into your brain's health, where migraines are intricately linked to the gut, and where mindfulness can reshape the very structure of your neural pathways. This is the pioneering realm navigated by Dr. Sui Wong, a distinguished Neurologist and Neuro-Ophthalmologist based in London. With a medical degree from the University of Cambridge and specialized training from Moorfields Eye Hospital, Dr. Wong has dedicated her career to unraveling the complex interplay between the brain, eyes, and overall well-being.As the creator of the BRA(i)NS® framework, she seamlessly integrates autonomic regulation with cognitive resilience, offering a holistic blueprint for thriving amidst modern life's stresses. Her expertise extends to the gut-brain axis, providing innovative insights into conditions like migraines, and she is a certified yoga teacher and movement coach, emphasizing the profound impact of mindful movement on neurological health.In this episode, we delve into Dr. Wong's groundbreaking work, exploring how practices such as mindfulness-based cognitive therapy can induce neuroplastic changes, the significance of mitochondrial health in cognitive performance, and the gender-specific nuances of migraines influenced by hormonal fluctuations. The multifaceted approaches Dr. Wong employs to enhance brain health and overall well-being, bridge the gap between traditional neurology and integrative lifestyle medicine.Episode highlights:00:30 Meet Dr. Sui Wong: A Pioneer in Neurology02:29 Understanding Visual Snow Syndrome03:55 Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Visual Snow06:12 Challenges and Breakthroughs in Research10:09 The Role of Mindfulness in Neurology15:07 The BRAINS Framework: Balancing Autonomic Regulation24:01 The Importance of Sleep and Blood Sugar Balance28:05 Understanding Blood Sugar Fluctuations29:17 The Importance of Lifestyle in Blood Sugar Management29:31 Nutritional Strategies for Blood Sugar Balance30:36 The Role of Sleep and Physical Activity31:25 Personal Experiences and Tools for Blood Sugar Monitoring35:30 Mindfulness and Its Impact on Health38:54 The Gut-Brain Axis and Migraine Connection40:56 Lifestyle Interventions for Migraine Management50:50 Gender Differences in Migraine and Hormonal Influences56:16 Conclusion and ResourcesResources mentioned:WEBSITESDr. Wong's websiteNeuro Eye websiteBooks authored by Dr. WongGuest's social handles:InstagramLinkedInP.S.

Dr. Wong also delves into the importance of mindfulness, nutrition, sleep, and a balanced lifestyle in enhancing overall well-being. Join us for an insightful conversation that bridges neuroscience with practical strategies for everyday life. Don't miss this episode filled with valuable insights and actionable tips to help you thrive. Welcome, Dr. Sui Wong! Watch our interview on YouTube here https://youtu.be/GwR82IYJTbE EPISODE #343 with Dr. Sui Wong on “Unlocking Brain Health: Insights from a Leading Neuro-Ophlamologist we will cover: ✔ Dr. Sui Wong's career path in medicine, that led her to write 4 books to help her patients (and the world) improve their brain health. ✔ How understanding our eye health can help us to prevent neurological disorders (like Alzheimer's Disease) in the future. ✔ What we should all understand about our eye health for improved health and longevity. ✔ What common neuro-ophthalmology cases she sees. ✔ Why did she introduce Mindfulness into a study on Visual Snow Syndrome? ✔ What would Dr. Wong add to our list of Top 6 Health Staples? ✔ How to learn from Dr. Wong, and find her books.   On today's episode #343 we meet with Dr. Sui H. Wong, a Neurologist and Neuro-Ophthalmologist based in London, United Kingdom. In addition to her clinical work as a medical doctor and physician, Dr. Wong is an active neuroscience researcher, who translates pertinent and clinically relevant questions into research, to improve person-centred patient outcomes. Additionally, she has the qualifications and experience to consider a broader spectrum of lifestyle-specific interventions. Dr Wong's holistic approach in empowering patients has been recognized with many awards, and this is just the beginning for her. When I was introduced to Dr. Wong, an active neuroscience researcher with a mission of translating important clinically relevant questions into research for improved person-centred patient outcomes, I knew I had to speak with her. She is a widely published author and researcher with over 110+ peer-reviewed publications in medical journals, chapters and conference abstracts, to date.  I looked at the articles Dr. Wong has published, and one caught my eye. She's done extensive research that you can find in Ophthalmology Journals, like a recent article that I'm going to paraphrase, but it was called Visual Snow Syndrome (which is a neurological condition where individuals see persistent flickering white, black, transparent or colored dots across the whole visual field) After Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy.[i] We have spent some time on this podcast walking through Pubmed.gov, and if you go there, and put Mindfulness into the search bar, you will come up with over 30,000 results. Let's meet Dr. Sui Wong, and see what we can learn from her decades of research and her thoughts on what lifestyle-specific interventions she recommends. Welcome Dr. Wong, thank you for coming on the podcast today, and meeting me, all the way from the UK (where I was born)(Worthing, Sussex). Welcome. Q1: Can you give us an overview of why you chose this path and ended up in Neuro-Ophthalmology with an explanation of what you do with your work? Q2: How can understanding our eye health help us to prevent neurological disorders in the future? We've covered Alzheimer's Prevention strategies and I wonder what you would with the importance of our brain health? Q3: I listened to a recent podcast you did on Neuro Podcases and while I don't have a case for you, I'll tell you I had a scary eye experience years ago? It turned out to be an ocular migraine, but I seriously thought I was going blind. Before I spoke to my doctor, I had no idea what this was, and that it was nothing to worry about. What do you recommend we ALL learn and understand about our eye health for improved health and longevity? Q3B: Is there a connection between migraines in our head, and our gut-brain axis? Q4: What are some common neuro-ophthalmology cases you see? Q5: I looked at your research and one of your publications drew my attention. It was the Visual Snow Syndrome study that improved with Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. Since we talk about Mindfulness often on this podcast, can you share what this study revealed? What can we all take away from the power of Mindfulness? Q6: What advice would you give us outside of this list that we've created from all our interviews, of the TOP 6 health staples to boost our physical, and mental heath, helping us to age gracefully, and how much of our health do you think has to do our brain health? Q7: For people to reach you, what is the best way? What services do you provide? Q8: Anything I have missed? Dr. Wong, I want to thank you for your time, meeting with me today, and helping us to all make the connection with our brain health, and longevity. RESOURCES AND CONNECT WITH DR.

Notable Quotes “Gratitude is a pretty cool and enjoyable feeling. And so when there are these enjoyable feelings that are particularly sort of low arousal like gratitude, because you can also have joy and ecstasy and excitement and all that, that's a bit more difficult to go into the body then. But when you have low arousal and positive energy, a really interesting question could be, oh, you feel gratitude now Luke, how does that gratitude manifest in the body? What's the felt sense of that in your experience right now? And maybe they don't even describe a physical sensation because maybe they're not ready to go into the body, or maybe that's not what's most present. But at least there's the invitation, and again, it's like a ritual quality of the deepest way in which we can land things in the present moment is through our somatic experience.” – Boaz (49:45) “The more that we cannot only deepen the way in which we use our presence, things like deep listening and things like that with others, that's certainly true in the way that it changes. But when we get that present, we become more present to what our experience is in relation to others. And that usually is going to surface things of helping people recognize some of maybe what they're struggling with or what are some of the things that come up for them when they're out and about in their other relationships the rest of their life. But if that can begin to come up as part of these interactions inside of a container that's been crafted, we can talk about those things, we can surface those things, we can explore those things and people feel safe and accepted and not judged while they're doing that because of the container that's been created.” – Luke (13:49) Our Guest Boaz Feldman is a practical visionary, experienced psychologist, keynote speaker, and trainer for worldwide positive change. He is a Somatic Experience Practitioner, Organic Intelligence core faculty, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy graduate.

What is your role and how do you help people? · Mental Health Occupational Therapist. Yoga and Meditation Teacher, Trauma Informed Care, Sensory Modulation, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, work for NAMI. · Vulnerability is a sign of strength and not of weakness. Lack of insight and awareness as to what is out there. Especially men, it's time to say that you need help. It's okay to be vulnerable say that you're struggling. It was me at one point. 2. What is your personal journey with PTSD? · Marine Corps 2001 - 2009. 4 years active duty. My first day of boot camp was just before 9/11. At 18 years old I was in the war zone at the Iraq-Kuwait border. I was in the front lines for 7 months in intense combat. · I returned to California and didn't have time to process. Went back into training. In 2007, I was deployed to Falluja in Iraq for 8 months. I lost my friend, which hit me hard. After I left the marines, I wasn't  sleeping well and had anxiety all the time. · I didn't know about PTSD and there was more stigma then. The marines weren't concerned about mental health. · At 22 years old, I was on active duty and drifting as a civilian. Self-medicating with alcohol, in toxic relationships, reckless and impulsive. I struggled from 2005 - 2009. Was dating my now wife who was studying psychology. She said I had PTSD yet I was in denial. I later told the VA that I needed help. · I was in therapy for a year and stopped drinking. I gained insight and self-awareness. I had been blaming yourself and felt broken in some way, thinking I'd never get better. I did the inner work and researched. Medications helped for a small period of time. Then I did yoga, exercise, medication, and mindfulness. I went to a veteran silent retreat. This helped me cope and be more mindful, kind, and gentle to myself and then to others. People started to notice a difference. · I finished college, whereas before I failed out. I graduated top of my class. I went to graduate school for OT and graduated top of my class. Now I'm getting my MBA. How do you define PTSD? · PTSD is a natural response to unnatural events. · Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or witnessing it. · Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares, and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event. · If the symptoms get worse, last for months or even years, and interfere with your day-to-day functioning, you may have PTSD. · Most people who go through traumatic events may have temporary difficulty adjusting and coping, but with time and good self-care, they usually get better. · Getting effective treatment after PTSD symptoms develop can be critical to reduce symptoms and improve function. What would you like men and specifically veterans to know? · We all suffer, it's the human condition. Many suffer in silence. But there are solutions to problems we face, there are resources and programs. Like occupational therapy, NAMI, counseling, medications, and yoga. · Mindfulness - once you have awareness of thinking and behaviors, use awareness to make changes. Respond verses react.

Depression can feel like a boulder on your back, making even the smallest of tasks feel impossible. Depression tells us to isolate, hide away, and push away all that we love and enjoy. Depression steals our joy, replacing it with sadness, irritability, anger, guilt, shame, fatigue, and misery. Depression convinces us that we are a failure and burden on anyone we try to reach to. Depression can be incredibly challenging to overcome, but we want you to know you do not have to continue to suffer, especially alone. While almost all of us will go through periods of depression, the reasons and intensity drastically vary. In any case, depression is not a choice, nor is there a quick fix. That said, there are steps you can take to move through your depression or support your loved one or partner in this battle. Let us give you some guidance on how. Join us as we explore depression, including potential causes, the impacts it may have, and tangible tips to move through the journey of depression.

We can intentionally think new thoughts over and over and over again to create new pathways of thought.FAVORITE QUOTES: “When we relate it back to our faith, we were given anxiety for a reason. We were given feelings of depression for a reason.” - Jamie “When you have negative thought patterns, you create a groove in your brain for those negative thought patterns to travel. The way that negative thoughts work is that of course, it's like a record player. The needle is going to go to the biggest groove and that's the past of least resistance. So if you have constant negative thoughts, that's where the needle's gonna go.” - Jamie“Where is your mission field? It's not appropriate to have 15 mission fields.” - Jamie“When we shame with insight, that's counterproductive.” - Jamie
