The Modern Wisdom podcast explores stress’s neurological basis with Jim Poole, highlighting its continuum from fear to worry. It emphasizes cravings’ cognitive roots and the central nervous system’s role in behavior and memory. Imbalanced diets and technology impact neurotransmitter levels, while brainwave manipulation techniques offer relaxation and stress reduction without mentioning specific products.
- Unified Stress Response: Fear, stress, anxiety, and worry are part of a continuum, activating physiological responses.
- Cravings and Cognitive Influence: Cravings originate days before succumbing, influenced by brain memory and the CNS.
- Central Nervous System Dominance: The central nervous system governs behaviour, memory, and executive function.
- Neurotransmitter Impact: Imbalanced diets, excessive technology use, and poor sleep affect neurotransmitter levels.
- Brainwave Manipulation: Techniques to slow brainwave function offer relaxation, creativity, and stress reduction within minutes.
