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.

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. Boaz founded NeuroSystemics, a somatically-centered approach for meditation training, therapy, and group therapy.

Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy Download the Selfpause Mindfulness App Mindfulness based cognitive therapy is a type of therapy that uses cognitive behavioral therapy techniques combined with meditative practices. It aims to reduce a person's stress levels, improve their concentration, and reduce the negative feelings associated with stress. The techniques in this type of therapy have been proven to be effective for a variety of conditions.

Mindfulness is the practice of tuning into our inner world so we can understand how it controls our lives. Anna Zannides is a Mindfulness Coach for those suffering a difficult separation, illness or those experiencing work stress. She offers her advice to businesses and clients on how to identify inner habits and beliefs that may be negatively affecting our outer emotions, actions and decisions.  John and Anna talk about her work in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, how she came to coaching, her past relationship, inner habits and limiting beliefs, breakups and recovery, and the reality of long-term relationships.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Anna has worked in education and has used her qualifications to work in cancer support and school and youth projects such as Tottenham Hotspurs and Enfield council dealing with mental health and stress.  Mindfulness is a long-term sustained practice enabling us to respond differently and bypass our habitual learned responses that are unhelpful.  Everyone is different in how long it takes to move forward after a loss or breakup but often we are put under pressure by the people around us to recover more quickly than we should. This leaves unresolved issues that still need to be addressed and Mindfulness Coaching can achieve this.  Indoctrinated ideas can fade throughout life and this is what may cause changes in long-term relationships.  The expectation that you are going to meet one person who is going to fulfil your needs throughout your entire life is unrealistic.  BEST MOMENTS ‘It's about helping us to build awareness of ourselves so that we are better able to respond in life rather than react to our external conditions.' – Anna  ‘The first thing that I did when I separated was to actually take myself to Nepal but don't ask me why because I have no clue! Somehow I said to myself, yes, I'm going to check myself into a Buddhist monastery and I'm going to learn all about this thing that I've been interested in since I was very young.' – Anna  ‘I've recently worked with someone and they divorced five years ago and they were still experiencing these bouts of anger.' – John  ‘I can honestly say without it sounding really negative, I'm not a big believer in relationships anymore, in the context of how we grow up believing in them, let's put it that way.' – Anna  ‘The idea that you have to have a body next to you so that you're not lonely is wrong. Loneliness comes from inside, loneliness is a feeling we have when something is lacking in us.' - Anna  GUEST RESOURCES Links: www.annazannides.com Email: anna@annazannides.com VALUABLE RESOURCES Links: www.johnkennycoaching.com The Bicycle Affect:  https://youtu.be/oO7XZGvdWno Video Course with 1-2-1 coaching - https://the-relationship-guy.teachable.com/purchase?product_id=3607138 Video Course –  https://the-relationship-guy.teachable.com/purchase?product_id=3607134 Link to my workshop -   https://www.johnkennycoaching.com/5- things-you-need-to-create-a-healthy-loving-relationship/ To get in touch - email –  john@johnkennycoaching.com  or book a complimentary call –  https://calendly.com/johnkennycoaching/30min If people want to order a copy of the book then they can just pay postage of £4.95 (RRP £8.99) - www.johnkennycoaching.com/podcast-book-offer Want to be able to address the relationship issues in your life? - Why not book in for a complimentary call and we can discuss how you can get the new started with some new types of relationships - https://calendly.com/johnkennycoaching/30min The Relationship Guy Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/the-relationship-guy         ABOUT THE HOST I am John Kenny, Award Winning Relationship Coach.Coaching people to experience healthy loving relationships.

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 unpack how your marriage or partnership can either enhance your depression or be a source of support to overcoming this intense personal battle. If you find this episode, or any of our other episodes, helpful to you, please share with those that you love!

When pain persists, over time it changes our brain. As pain-related neural connections grow stronger and stronger, ultimately our experience of pain worsens. But what if we could leverage mindfulness-based interventions to rewire our brains and reduce the impact of pain over time? On this episode of Noble Mind, Dr. Melissa Day joins Kate and Alex to discuss the neurological roots of pain and explain how the meaning we make of pain impacts the amount of pain we feel. She describes how mindfulness retrains the brain to process pain differently and ‘turns the volume down' on our suffering. Listen in for insight on the relationship between pain, self-efficacy, and acceptance. Listen in to hear about Dr. Day's innovative program for treating chronic pain with the principles of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. Dr. Melissa Day completed her MA and Ph.D. in Clinical Health Psychology and post-doctoral research fellowship in pain psychology at the University of Washington. She is now an endorsed Clinical Psychologist and Health Psychologist in Australia, and works as an Associate Professor in the School of Psychology at The University of Queensland. Dr. Day's program of research has focused on implementing randomised controlled trials to evaluate the efficacy and mechanisms of cognitive-behavioural and mindfulness-based interventions for pain. She recently published a sole authored book with Wiley titled, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Chronic Pain: A Clinical Manual and Guide. Noble Mind explores mindfulness, meditation, spirituality, and psychology. Get more details, join our list, and get show notes at www.noblemindpodcast.com.

She is a strong believer that not only can you recover from mental health problems, you can be strengthened by them.

This webinar will explore the main characteristics of MBCT, its scientific base, and will try to clarify some common misconceptions or confusion with similar approaches. The session will also explore how MBCT can help us recognize how we become entangled in streams of worries, self-criticism and ruminative thinking, and slowly learn to break free from these patterns to improve our well-being.

Follow us on facebook, twitter and Instagram @isthatlikeathing or reach us at 469-854-9636NOTES FROM JAMIE: The most basic job of anxiety goes back to the fight or flight we needed physically for survival. In caveman days after those fight or flight moments, you go back to the cave and have several hours to calm down, to allow our bodies to normalize and process our thoughts, feelings and emotions.We often live in fight or flight (even if it's prolonged stress) and we get used to feeling those heightened emotions without ever restabilizing.Sometimes we need to be able to “Go back to the cave” and take time to process the things that are happening in our lives.Negative thoughts actually create grooves in our brain that become like ruts where our thoughts naturally go without even trying to think that way.We can change these physical ruts by inputting new language and practicing it like a spelling test. 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

“There’s some distance between the spark and the flame, and in that distance, it gives you the freedom to respond more skillfully to the situation.”  Depression is part of a common human experience but finding relief from it is incredibly complicated.   Depression is a relapsing illness, and taking an antidepressant is not always a viable or effective solution for those suffering.   In this episode, I talk with Dr. Stuart Eisendrath about how to treat depression when the antidepressants just aren’t enough. He walks through the definition of depression and anxiety, how they distort time and how we experience the present moment, and then finally how to align ourselves back to the present moment. Specifically, Dr. Stuart Eisendrath talks about mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, which teaches people a different way to respond to their depressive state, and how to take action in the moment.   Take a listen to learn more about mindfulness practices and cognitive therapy, and how these techniques can shift one’s relationship with depression to finally experience healing.    About Stuart Eisendrath:   Dr. Stuart Eisendrath is the founding Director of the University of California San Francisco Depression Center. He has treated a full range of depressive disorders, from mild to the most severe over the last 40 years using multiple modalities. His lectures on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for the University of California TV has been viewed over 1.5 million times, and he’s rapidly developing MBCT as a modality for individuals currently in episodes of depression.    Some Questions I Ask:   What drew you to writing this book? (2:14)  What is mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy? (5:57)  How does anger play into depression? (19:52)  How can someone stop the process of rumination? (25:16)  How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy affect the brain itself? (37:38)  What some first steps people can take to bring mindfulness into their life? (39:26)      In This Episode, You Will Learn:   What alternatives Dr. Stuart Eisendrath uses to treat depression and anxiety. (3:45)  How to change your relationship to cumbersome depressive thoughts. (9:38)  The key to shifting out of a depressive state. (14:31)  How to use the RAIN technique to decenter from the anger that coincides with depression. (21:16)  How Dr. Stuart Eisendrath’s personal experience with depression has informed in his work.

I found a pattern where I waste my time thinking about the future and then look back on my life and think "Hey, have I been properly enjoying my life?" Every day I think and plan to the future - you know? What if I were able to actually enjoy this ordinary Tuesday for once and not start the day with a list of things longer than I can actually accomplish? and when I asked you guys what questions you had about meditation and mindfulness, the number one question I got was where to start so that’s where I started with Janet.   With that, let’s listen in and gear up for what’s next.   Where to find Janet: Stillpoint Mindfulness- to learn more about one on one counseling, group courses and CDs to purchase   Resources and Links: Full Catastrophe Living - by Jon Kabat Zinn Happiness is an Inside Job - By Sylvia Boorstein Kristin Neff - TedX Talk - The Space Between Self-Esteem and Self Compassion Meditation Studio - where you can find Janet’s guided meditations   BEFORE YOU LEAVE - If you are enjoying the shows, I hope you’ll subscribe, rate, review and share with your friends!  About Lisa Gerber: Lisa advises CEOs and senior level management on how to use the power of storytelling and effective communication to influence action and bring ideas to life.  She guides companies through the digital maze of constantly changing tools to build discovery, loyalty, and ultimately help them achieve their own big leaps.  When she is not in her office, she might be out skiing or trail running.

In this episode of the MindSpace podcast, Dr. Joe speaks with Dr. Zindel Segal. Zindel is a Distinguished Professor of Psychology in Mood Disorders at the University of Toronto. He is best known for co-founding Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), along with his UK colleagues, Mark Williams and John Teasdale. MBCT is an adaptation of Jon Kabat-Zinn’s eight week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program for people suffering from depression. It combines the tools of cognitive therapy with the practice of mindfulness. The focus is on changing the relationship with one’s thoughts rather than the thoughts themselves. It has proven to be especially effective in preventing the relapse of depressive episodes. Zindel has made an enormous contribution to the field of clinical psychology. His impact is reflected in an impressive publication record: he is an author of over 100 scientific publications, some in high profile medical journals and some featured in popular news media such as the Wall Street Journal, CNN Health and the New York Times. He is also an author of 10 books, including 2 very well-known ones on MBCT: 1) The Mindful Way Through Depression, which is a guide to using mindfulness to manage mood and 2) Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Depression, which is the bible for teachers of MBCT. In this episode, they discuss: - The story behind the creation and evolution of MBCT - Zindel’s take on how exactly MBCT and CBT are helpful for managing mood - The challenges he and is team are facing around the dissemination of MBCT - The current science of mindfulness and well-being

This week, we welcome Dr. Sara Lazar, a neuroscientist from Harvard University. Her research focuses mainly on yoga, meditation, and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy to ascertain neural changes that occur with these types of therapy. Dr. Lazar has studied a wide-variety of problems including bipolar disorder, persistent pain, and depression. She will share some exciting information about the research of the cognitive therapies and their effects on persistent pain. Dr. Lazar’s research results suggest that meditation can produce experience-based structural alterations in the brain. They also found evidence that meditation may slow down the age related atrophy of certain areas of the brain. It’s very exciting research and we hope you enjoy this discussion!

According to the World Health Organisation, more than 350 million people of all ages, suffer from depression.  Indeed it is a growing cause of disability worldwide and is a major contributor to the global burden of disease. This podcast looks at what is depression and at the latest research on mindfulness. It is made up of excerpts from two conversations between Professor Mark Williams, Professor of Clinical Psychology at Oxford University and journalist, Dr Danny Penman.   These conversations are part of an Oxford University series, The New Psychology of Depression, formed of 6 podcasts: What is depression* How is depression treated Can treatments such as cognitive therapy help Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy: A new approach to treating depression* Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy on trial Mindfulness and the brain [The conversations we have drawn on are starred.  They were published by Oxford University under a Creative Commons licence]. Depression is different from usual mood fluctuations and short-lived emotional responses to challenges in everyday life. Especially when long-lasting and with moderate or severe intensity, depression may become a serious health condition. It can cause the affected person to suffer greatly and function poorly at work, at school and in the family. At its worst, depression can lead to suicide. There are, however, effective treatments.  One treatment that is currently attracting a lot of attention is 'mindfulness' which draws on ancient Buddhist teaching, and is supported by developments in Neuroscience research. In this podcast Professor Williams explains what mindfulness is and how it can help those suffering from depression. He also talks us through a couple of mindfulness exercises. Notes: Mark Williams and Danny Penman are the authors of  Mindfulness: A practical guide to peace in a frantic world       Oxford University has a Mindfulness Centre, which hosts courses and suggests books, audio and video resources on mindfulness..
