As you move up in leadership roles, you gain more power. Initially, you may take it in stride, thinking it's something you earned and something you'd never let get in the way of being the manager you want to be. But as the pressure to perform grows, the gap in power between you and your team creates blind spots that can erode these relationships. Former Microsoft executive and Fortune 500 coach, Sabina Nawaz, experienced these challenges in her own career and, today, she coaches executives working through them. It's why she wrote the book, You're the Boss: Become the Manager You Want to Be (and Others Need). And in this conversation, she shares tools to help leaders manage their blind spots.

In this episode, we delve into the transformative power of organization to alleviate overwhelm and reclaim mental clarity. Studies reveal that while 87% of Americans believe organization is a learnable skill, less than 18% feel organized in their daily lives. Clutter not only affects our physical spaces but also impacts our mental well-being, leading to increased stress and decreased productivity. Our guest, Lisa Woodruff, is the founder and CEO of Organize 365, a platform dedicated to teaching individuals the skill of organizing to unlock their time and potential. She is the author of several books, including How ADHD Affects Home Organization and The Paper Solution, which provide practical strategies for managing household organization and paper clutter. Lisa's ongoing research aims to make the invisible work at home visible, helping individuals externalize routine tasks that consume mental energy, thereby freeing up cognitive resources for more meaningful activities. By creating environments that support and inspire you, you can focus on what brings you joy and eliminate distractions that hold you back. As always, we're redefining what it means to do woman's work in today's world—on your terms, in your way—free from clutter and overwhelm. Because when you clear the clutter, you make space for your greatness.

I'm excited to welcome Dr. Mithu Storoni to the show to discuss her new book, Hyperefficient: Optimize Your Brain to Transform the Way You Work. Dr. Storoni is a physician, researcher, and expert in neuroscience and performance optimization. Her latest book challenges conventional productivity methods and introduces a brain-based approach to working smarter, not harder. In this conversation, we cover: Redefining Efficiency: Dr. Storoni explains the difference between traditional efficiency (doing more in less time) and hyperefficiency (maximizing cognitive performance by working in alignment with brain rhythms). The Brain's Gears: Just like a car engine, our brains operate in different gears suited for different tasks. She breaks down how to shift gears effectively to optimize focus, creativity, and deep thinking. The Role of AI in Cognitive Work: With AI handling more routine tasks, our roles are shifting toward high-level problem-solving and innovation. Dr. Storoni explores how to harness AI while improving our brain's ability to think critically and creatively. Avoiding Cognitive Overload: The brain cannot sustain continuous, high-intensity work. She shares strategies for managing cognitive fatigue, including working in focused bursts and structuring tasks based on brain function. Harnessing Natural Brain Rhythms: Understanding when to tackle deep work versus routine tasks can dramatically improve productivity. Dr. Storoni shares research-backed insights into leveraging biological prime times for peak performance. This conversation is packed with actionable insights for anyone looking to optimize their mental energy, prevent burnout, and work with their brain rather than against it.

We've innovated our workplaces since the factory-floor work of the Industrial Revolution, but our brains haven't caught up. Mithu Storoni is a physician, neuroscience researcher and ophthalmic surgeon. She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why the 9-to-5 workday breaks up the natural rhythms of optimal brain function and offers tips for finding the best time to do your most creative and productive work. Her book is “Hyperefficient: Optimize Your Brain to Transform the Way You Work.”

The Industrial Revolution changed the nature of work, so that many people labored in factories, continuously performing the same task, at the same pace, for the duration of their shift.Two centuries on, even though most folks have moved from working with their hands to working with their heads and from manufacturing set outputs to solving complex problems, generating creative ideas, and processing information, we still tend to work as if we're manning an assembly line.My guest says that being stuck in this factory framework is to our detriment, and that there's a much better way to do knowledge work, one that's less like manning an assembly line and more like driving a car.Mithu Storoni is a Cambridge-trained physician, a neuroscience researcher, and the author of Hyperefficient: Optimize Your Brain to Transform the Way You Work. Today on the show, Mithu offers a modern approach to achieving peak performance and explains why it's better to impose the natural rhythms of our brains on our work than to impose the rhythms of our work on our brains. She shares why you should treat your brain like an engine with three different gears, how people have different "gear personalities," and how to use environmental cues, specially structured 90-minutes cycles of work, and even caffeine to shift your brain into the optimal gear for different mental challenges.Resources Related to the PodcastMithu's previous appearance on the AoM podcast: Podcast #525: How to Stress Proof Your Body and BrainAoM Podcast #743: How to Get Time, Priorities, and Energy Working in Your FavorConnect With Mithu StoroniMithu's websiteMithu on XMithu on IGMithu on LinkedIn

Eleanor Spicer Rice shakes your pets' family trees, peeks between their feathers, dives into their brains and sometimes hitches a ride on their poops to uncover the meanings behind some of our animal friends' wildest behaviors. Then, ophthalmic surgeon, physician and neuroscience researcher Dr. Mithu Storoni discusses how to optimize your brain to transform the way you work in her new book, "Hyperefficient."

Mithu Storoni isn't just an eye surgeon and neuroscience researcher; she's also an expert in how to get your brain working at peak efficiency. Today, she shares a few performance-enhancing tips with us.

**Your brain isn't like a muscle. **This recommendation comes from Mithu Storoni, a University of Cambridge-trained neuroscientist and author. Neuroscientist 腦神經科學家 Brains aren't like muscles, she explains. If you do a physical job on an assembly line, you can just push your muscles to keep going until they become fatigued. More effort generally leads to more results. Physical job 耗體力的工作 搭配詞 assembly line 生產線 片語動詞 push (your muscles) to keep going 強迫某東西繼續 單字 fatigued 疲憊 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

How is your posture right now? If your shoulders are slouched, you are sending a message to others that you probably don't want to send. I start this episode by discussing how your posture speaks volumes – good and bad. https://www.jnforensics.com/post/what-the-shoulders-say-about-us Why do dogs seem so picky about where they poop? Can cats tell what you are feeling? Does a goldfish memory last only 3 seconds? While we pet owners love our pets, there is a lot we don't know or understand. Here to reveal many of these mysteries is Eleanor Spicer Rice. She is an entomologist and the author of several nonfiction books, one of which is called Your Pet's Secret Lives : The Truth Behind Your Pets' Wildest Behaviors (https://amzn.to/3BblxB3). Your brain is on its own schedule. It does some kind of work better in the morning and other work better later in the day. It's important to understand this because you may not be scheduling the type of tasks you are doing to coincide with when your brain is at its peak for that kind of work. Joining me to explain how this works is Dr. Mithu Storoni. She is a physician, neuroscience researcher and ophthalmic surgeon who also advises multinational corporations on mental performance and stress management. She is author of a book called Hyperefficient: Optimize Your Brain to Transform the Way You Work (https://amzn.to/3TAAOSd). It sort of stands to reason that if someone has a big head, they would have a bigger brain and therefore be smarter. But what does the research say about that? Listen as I explore this.

As a knowledge worker, you face two challenges. First, you need to take in staggering amounts of information to stay current. Next, you're expected to convert that information into innovative solutions that benefit your team and your company. While expectations for consuming and processing information have changed, most of our mental habits harken back to factory model days. Yet we're ignoring the tremendous power of our human biology, namely, our brains. What if we designed an optimal work style built around key features of the human brain? That's the question Mithu Storoni works to answer in her book, Hyperefficient: Optimize Your Brain to Transform the Way You Work. She likens brain function to a car engine with multiple gears. Then she shares how to best put those gears to work for us, and how best to shift them as circumstances change. It's just the right book – with just the right information – for the age we're living in. Episode Links Uncertainty is Uncomfortable, and Technology Makes It Worse.

About the Guest: Dr. Mithu Storoni is a University of Cambridge-trained physician, neuroscience researcher, and ophthalmic surgeon. Renowned for her expertise in mental performance and stress management, she advises multinational corporations on optimizing brain function. She is the author of the forthcoming book "Hyperefficient," which explores revolutionary concepts in maximizing the quality of cognitive outputs. Episode Summary: Greg McKeown interviews Dr. Mitu Storoni about her upcoming book "Hyperefficient" and the concept of optimizing your brain for hyper-efficiency, discussing the physiological impacts of stress and how to manage mental performance effectively. Dr. Storoni introduces the concept of three mental gears—gear one (relaxed and daydreaming), gear two (focused and attentive), and gear three (hyper-vigilant and distracted). She discusses how different environments and personal habits influence which gear our brain operates in, stressing the importance of maintaining a balance to achieve peak mental performance. They examine how information overload and constant stimuli can push us into less productive states and the importance of understanding your "gear personality" to enhance productivity. Dr. Storoni provides actionable insights on creating a work and home environment that facilitates entering gear two, optimizing moments of creativity, and managing the balance of stimulation and relaxation. Key Takeaways: Understanding Mental Gears: Learn about the three mental gears—gear one (relaxed), gear two (focused), and gear three (hyper-vigilant)—and their impact on productivity. - Information Overload: Discover the detrimental effects of fragmented information and the importance of understanding your "gear personality" to manage mental performance. - Optimal Work Environment: Tips on modifying your work and home environment to help shift your brain into gear two for optimal performance. - Role of Deadlines and Stress: How deadlines and uncertainty can push you into less productive mental states and strategies to mitigate this. - Daily Routine Adjustments: Insights on how small changes in your daily routine can enhance mental efficiency and creativity.` Notable Quotes: "Information is the root cause of uncertainty, because the information we're receiving now is uninvited and is fragmented." -Dr. Mithu Storoni "When we are receiving fragmented information, we have an immediate urge, and it's fragmented in a very particular way so that it's not completely blank." -Dr. Mithu Storoni "So this is a spectrum. So what this essentially means is that in any environment, our brains are going to react to the same environment in different ways." -Dr. Mithu Storoni Resources: Visit Mithu's website.

About the Guest: Dr. Mithu Storoni is a University of Cambridge-trained physician, neuroscience researcher, and ophthalmic surgeon. Renowned for her expertise in mental performance and stress management, she advises multinational corporations on optimizing brain function. She is the author of the forthcoming book "Hyperefficient," which explores revolutionary concepts in maximizing the quality of cognitive outputs. Episode Summary: Greg McKeown interviews Dr. Mitu Storoni about her upcoming book "Hyperefficient" and the need to redefine workplace efficiency by prioritizing quality over quantity in the age of AI and automation. Dr. Storoni introduces her framework of three mental "gears" to explain cognitive overload and emphasizes the importance of recognizing one's cognitive state to enhance productivity. The discussion includes practical strategies for managing workloads and improving mental health while navigating the challenges of constant connectivity and modern communication. Key Takeaways: Redefining Efficiency: The traditional definition of efficiency, focused on quantity, is outdated. In the AI era, the focus shifts to quality of output. Historical Context: From the Industrial Revolution to the Knowledge Age, metrics of productivity have evolved, but the need for high-quality, creative thinking has always been key. Impact of Technology: Advanced communication technologies, from the telegraph to the smartphone, have distorted our sense of reality, space, and time. Marshall McLuhan's Insights: The medium changes the users, not just the message. This impacts how we think and interact with the world. Cognitive Overload: The relentless flood of information and the blurring of personal and global events can lead to significant cognitive strain and disorientation. Notable Quotes: "Efficiency now means producing as much as you can of a quantity, but hyperefficiency is about producing quality." – Dr. Mithu Storoni "Our sense of an event taking place is tightly woven into how soon after the event we become aware of it." – Dr. Mithu Storoni "In the medium, you can't see the effect of the medium on you unless you actually step outside." – Dr. Mithu Storoni Resources: Visit Mithu's website.

The way we work has changed more in the past four years than it has in the past 20. An estimated 43 percent of Americans are now working at least partially from home, artificial intelligence is making most people at least marginally more productive, and we're all connected all of the time. This sounds good–or at least exciting–but is it working for you? Are you more efficient? More balanced? More creative? My guest on this week's podcast wrote a book on efficiency in our modern world, a quickly changing landscape where decade old systems and processes have become obsolete.

Giorgio Bruins and Séverine Daniel have brought the Wim Hof method to Luxembourg. Dr. Mithu Storoni tells us how it works and why exercising our autonomous nervous system is good for us. How many of you extol the values of a cold shower, or even a swim in the sea / lake? Cold showering and swimming is all the rage these days and Wim Hof has something to do with it. Wim Hof, a.k.a. 'Iceman_Hof', had to deal with a sudden tragedy in his young adulthood when his wife committed suicide, leaving him with their four young children. Part of his recovery to cope was working with cold water. Now the story of Wim Hof has developed much further, and the science behind why his methods of breathing and cold water exposure have a positive effect on us is being properly explored by scientists and the medical profession. Giorgio Bruins and his wife Séverine Daniel went through their own dip in life, as we all do from time to time. Perhaps chronic stress, to which no medicine can truly cure it. After a birthday present 'Wim Hof' experience in Ireland, Giorgio felt something shift in his body and within weeks felt his energy return. Séverine also noticed a huge change in her heart rate, as her resting rate fell by 10 beats per minute. They went on to completely change their working lives and create B-You here in Luxembourg, giving a variety of sessions to help build mental resilience, physical resilience and increased immunity. I was given the opportunity to try out their course last weekend and since then I am doing my best to turn my showers to cold (with a deep exhale) at the end! *** IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT NO ONE SHOULD JUMP INTO A COLD LAKE OR SEA WITHOUT KNOWING HOW TO REGULATE YOUR BREATHING OR WITHOUT SUPERVISION UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR OWN BODY *** Dr. Mithu Storoni is a Cambridge neuroscientist and eye surgeon who now spends her time researching huge amounts of scientific papers across a plethora of fields to build links between the research. It's so hard for even a physician to be across all medicine with the wealth of information out there that we need people like Mithu to help us navigate the mind in our information-laden, digital world. Her first book, Stress Proof (published by Penguin Random House, 2017), explored the spectrum of chronic stress from a multidimensional perspective. Mithu explains how we have developed our environment to be so regulated - generally warm rooms or cars, minimal movement throughout the day, that our autonomous nervous system doesn't have enough exercise to be in its best working condition. There is on-going research into how heat exposure (such as bikram yoga or saunas) and cold exposure can re-equilibrate a nervous system that is not quite balanced. This has links to auto-immune disease and general well-being. Mithu tells us how Charles Darwin, Florence Nightingale and Alfred, Lord Tennyson were all exponents of cold water showers for their health and recovery. Medicine, in recent years, has become reductionist. We need to be in our environment more to stimulate all of our senses. We also talk about the 'Blue Zones', brought to fame by Dan Buettner, where people live long lives for a variety of reasons. Some include the community element, the general need to move throughout the day, and good natural food. Dr. Storoni is currently working on her new book, Hyperefficient, to be published next year. As ever, Sasha Kehoe brings us a reflection of the week's news. This week we are delighted to celebrate the first birthday of RTL Today Radio! You can now find RTL Today radio on radioplayer.lu too.

How stressed are you right now? It's January so chances are you've been stressed about something already. Do you know what your stress triggers are or do you just know when you've reached your peak stress levels? Don't worry, chances are you're not alone in that. We've brought back a guest from a previous episode on our series to talk about the s-word. Mithu Storoni is an eye surgeon and brain researcher-turned author. She is interested in how the brain responds to uncertainty and performs under pressure. Her first book, "Stress-Proof", is a science-based guide to optimising brain health and mental resilience and she's currently working on her second book, ‘Hyperefficient' due in 2024. In this episode we discuss what stress is, how to recognise it in yourself, how to know what your stress triggers are and we also discuss how some people's personalities are better suited to stress. Regardless if that's you or not, stress affects each of us differently and we all have different tolerance levels. However, what is common for everyone is that it can take a toll on our physical and mental health, and we now know it can contribute to the development of chronic health conditions. Hopefully after this episode you'll feel less stressed after learning some tips and advice on how to understand, recognise and manage your own stress. This episode is sponsored by Natural Cycles.

Today Jonny sits down with Dr Mithu Storoni - eye surgeon, neuroscience and researcher-turned-author of "Stress Proof". Stress, it would seem, is a hallmark of what it means to be human. By digging into the social and physical mechanics behind stress, Mithu shares how the brain performs under pressure, perceives reality, and reacts to stress. As our exposure to stress evolves, Jonny and Mithu discuss how a great deal of stress is in our imagination, and there's power in knowing that this tug of war between uncertainty and a curiosity of the unknown (known as the Curiosity gap) is an integral part of being human. The good news, as we'll come to learn, is that not all stress is bad stress, so listen in to understand how we can channel this knowledge to fulfil our true potential.Please do let us know what is hitting home for you most powerfully and also where you would like to see the podcast go in the future.

Stress, it would seem, is considered to be a sign of dedication. By common culture's rules, the more stressed you are, the more committed you are, and, in Jonny's case, the more professional you seem. But if you delve into this assumption, does stress really support our personal growth? In this episode, Jonny explores the difference between acute stress -  which can be helpful in performance - and chronic stress - which can trigger chronic diseases and all kinds of immense limitations upon our experience. Jonny also introduces some of the key themes brought about in the upcoming interview with eye surgeon, neuroscience and researcher-turned-author Dr Mithu Storoni.The full interview with Dr Mithu Storoni will, as always, follow suit on Thursday so keep an eye out for it.

This week Jonny meets with Sadhguru, a yogi mystic from Southern India. What many would refer to as an enlightened being, Sadhguru has been serving people and the planet in numerous forms since an awakening at the age of 26. Sadhguru was in London to share the message of his latest and arguable most pressing campaign “The Conscious Planet save soil movement.” With this movement he is highlighting the degradation of the planet's soil and rapidly declining organic content and also bringing awareness to the required shift in perspective and activity required to ensure human and ecological survival. Jonny sees this opportunity as an urgent one and a phenomenally important one to commit to and get behind. It is also one that leads into an obvious exploration of self and human potential. Sadhguru and Jonny delve into what is going on in our physical, mental, emotional worlds, exploring how the more consciously aware we become, the more of life we get to touch. Sadhguru also divulges some secret tips from the spiritual realm for Jonny's kicking practice too!If you're a fan of Jonny's you can also follow him on socials:Twitter: @JonnyWilkinsonInstagram: @jonnywilkinsonofficialTo keep up and be a part of the conscious planet movement, please see their website here: consciousplanet.orgSave Soil Movement on Instagram: @ConsciousPlanet https://www.instagram.com/consciousplanet/You can find Saghguru on his official website: https://isha.sadhguru.orgInstagram: @Sadhuguru https://www.instagram.com/sadhguruTwitter: @SadhguruJV https://twitter.com/SadhguruJVYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/user/sadhguru

Stress is our body's response to threat and danger, a response that is meant to protect us when working properly. It helps us stay alert, energetic, and focused in order to be able to defend ourselves in dangerous situations. But when it becomes chronic, stress can cause huge damage to our physical and mental health. In today's episode, Ted's guest, Dr. Mithu Storoni is going to dive deep into how chronic stress impacts mental, physical, and brain health, and what we should do to become stress-proof. Listen now!

Understanding how your body responds to stress can be key to managing stressful situations and reducing the impact it has on your health, but are we coping with stress? Stress seems to be one of the greatest public health challenges of our time. Stress is a significant factor in mental health problems including anxiety and depression. It is also linked to physical health problems like heart disease, problems with our immune system, insomnia and digestive problems, but what if I told you, you could make yourself stress proof?  I speak to Dr Mithu Storoni, a neuroscientists who has written a fantastic book aimed to stress proof our daily lives.

Dr. Mithu Storoni is a University of Cambridge, trained medical doctor. As a doctor, she knows about personal stress as well as treating stressed patients. Chronic stress is the underlying reason most patients would be treated by Dr. Storoni. Wanting to understand how to control stress without medication, Mithu spent two years in research and discovered what we need to do to protect our body, our brain, and be more resilient.

Mithu Storoni MD PhD is an author, physician, and researcher. She has undertaken research in Neuro-ophthalmology and Perceptual Neuroscience at Cambridge, in London and at Harvard Medical School. Her book 'Stress Proof' seeks to provide practical, evidence based solutions to better manage the unique psychological challenges that modern life presents.In this episode of the podcast we discuss how to manage stress and anxiety in the age of Covid-19.

Over the past 2 years, I have had the privilege of talking with some of the most influential and insightful voices in the health and wellbeing space. To celebrate, I have released 3 very special compilation episodes at the end of 2019, which happens to also be the end of the decade! In my new book, Feel Better in 5, I split up health into 3 main areas: Mind, Body and Heart. I covered ‘Mind’ and ‘Heart’ in the past 2 episodes of the podcast and in today’s show, the theme is ‘Body’ - we all know that moving our body each day is crucial for our health and our wellbeing - it give us more energy, better creativity, improves our sleep quality and so much more.In today’s episode, you are going to hear some of the best clips on this topic from my podcast. You will hear from the inspirational radio presenter, Vassos Alexander, on just how unfit he was a few years ago, why he started to exercise and how he has quickly become a really experienced and accomplished runner, the medical doctor, Mithu Storoni, who shares how regularly moving throughout the day helps you to buffer the effects of stress, the neuroscientist, Shane O’Mara, who explains how sitting around all day is exhausting and how movement actually energises us, and how walking can reverse aging in the brain. Then you will hear a clip from one of my most enjoyable conversations so far, with the filmmaker, Sanjay Rawal, who shares how we can approach running and, in fact, all movement, in a completely different way and use it as a pathway to transformation. I then share clips from the science journalist and author, Linda Geddes, on how going out for a walk every lunchtime helps you to strengthen your own circadian rhythm and helps you be more alert, Tony Riddle who shares his view on why humans are currently living in conflict with their evolutionary heritage and why he made the decision to remove all of the chairs from his house and finally, the inspirational, Ross Edgeley, who explains why the most important component for any movement practice is adherence - and why choosing a movement that you ENJOY is so important in terms of sticking to it in the long term. I hope you will find this an inspirational episode as we move from one decade, into a brand new one. Enjoy!There are a wide variety of 5 minute movements in my brand new book Feel Better in 5 - 5 minute bodyweight strength training workouts that require no equipment, 5 minute yoga flows, 5 minute HIIT workouts, 5 minute playful ones and so much more.

Oftentimes, our ancient brains don't seem well equipped to deal with the speed and complexities of modernity. The landscape bombards us with perceived threats and problems, and we have trouble not ruminating on them. To navigate this environment, while maintaining our composure and sanity, we need to strengthen our resistance to stress.  My guest today has written a guidebook to how that's done. Her name is Dr. Mithu Storoni, and she's a medical doctor who also holds a PhD in Neuro-ophthalmology, as well as the author of Stress-Proof: The Scientific Solution to Protect Your Brain and Body — and Be More Resilient Every Day. Today on the show we discuss the difference between acute stress and chronic stress and why acute stress can actually be good for you, while chronic stress can change your brain so that you get more stressed out when you experience stress. We discuss how both cortisol and inflammation can actually be beneficial in the right amounts, and how to get them in the right doses -- including the particular type of exercise that will best help you recover from stress, and the role diet and even Tetris can play in managing it. We end our conversation discussing how making time for hobbies can prevent you from falling into the stress trap. Get the show notes at aom.is/stressproof.

In Episode #363, Mithu Storoni, an eye surgeon who holds a PhD in Neuro-ophthalmology and author of the book "Stress-Proof," explains that chronic stress is changing the structure of the brain, thinning the part that carries the seat of sophisticated decision making and this is a problem for investors today because we have to compete with artificial intelligence (AI).

Although you can’t see it, stress is everywhere. Once pushed aside as something that couldn’t be explained, stress is now a quantifiable, identifiable, solid thing that has real physical effects on our bodies and our long-term health. But what can we do about it? Neuroscientist, researcher and guest on this week’s episode, Dr. Mithu Storoni, has read over 1,000 academic papers to answer that question. Mithu shares the finding of her research and explains just what stress can do to our bodies and how we can measure it using modern technology. She gives some brilliant practical tips on how we can buffer ourselves from the consequences of stress.

Ella and Matt take a deep dive into the world of the brain with Dr Mithu Storoni looking at how our brains record events as we perceive them, not as they actually happen, how our emotional and rational sides of the brain control the way we see the world and how we can therefore train ourselves to shift from a negative to a positive bias. Stress can both help and harm us and Mithu helps us understand the ways in which we can use this to achieve peak performance and improve our mental and physical health, as well as how small tweaks in our lifestyles can make us feel completely different, why challenge and reward cycles can be game changing, and how our perceptions of colour, sounds, taste and time alter under stress.

Both “meditation” and “yoga” are buzz words in pop health circles, but both are actually categories of mind-body practices - not specific practices. Not all mind-body practices are the same, and the specifics are what make all the difference. The way in which you practice yoga or meditation can lead to profoundly different neurological states, biochemical reactions, and physiological responses. Lucas Rockwood meets with medical doctor, Mithu Storoni, to dive into the science of yoga and stress, and their effects on the brain.   Mithu Storoni MD, PhD is a medical doctor, science nerd, writer, yoga teacher, blogger and all round brain enthusiast dedicated to defeating stress from everyone's lives. She earned her medical degree from the University of Cambridge and also holds a PhD in Neuro-ophthalmology. ------------------------------------- Listen and Learn: The difference between open monitoring and focused attention meditation What Brain Derived Neural Factor (BDNF) is and how yoga can increase production How yogic breathing can encourage respiratory neural coupling Mental health dangers of rumination during some forms of meditation What happens with your stress signals during deliberate yoga practice Nutritional Tip of the Week: How to wash strawberries Links & References from the Show: Brain Boost Camp Got questions?
