Description

In this episode, we explore how our thoughts directly influence our biology through stress chemistry, epigenetics, and neuroplasticity. Drawing on the work of Dr. Bruce Lipton, the conversation reframes illness as something we can influence through our mindset. You'll hear practical tools—like better questions, emotional anchor words, and healing visualizations—to shift from chronic stress into a state of safety, gratitude, and calm, so your thoughts send healing signals instead of stress signals to your body.

Key Points:

• Thoughts act as biochemical instructions to the body
• Illness is not only aging or genetics; mindset matters
• Negative thoughts trigger stress chemicals like real danger
• Neuroplasticity: repeated thoughts strengthen brain pathways
• Chronic worry and self-criticism lock in stress patterns
• Choosing optimism trains the brain to see what's good
• Replace "Why me?" with "What does my body need now?"
• Problem-solving questions calm the nervous system
• Pick a daily emotional anchor word (e.g., calm, safe)
• Anchor words help lower stress hormones
• Use vivid visualization of your body healing and flowing
• The brain responds to imagined events like real ones
• You always have a choice: stress signals or healing signals
