059. Dr. Rowshanak Hashemiyoon on Rewiring Beliefs

Nov 5, 2021

Listen to neuroscientist Dr. Rowshanak Hashemiyoon explain to Heather some of the real reasons why people feel so stressed and overwhelmed today. She explains why the cultural splitting off of science, spirit and magic has been detrimental to individual and collective wellbeing, why the benchmarks for mental health are all changing and how self care changes your brain function. She also addresses how our beliefs get formed, and why trust is so important where you both live and work.

In this episode, Heather and Rowshanak discuss:

• Why the fractionation of information in our environments today is impacting mental health
• How we get programmed and how our beliefs get formed
• The impact of your first social circle
• Differences in the brains between men and women at the critical neurodevelopmental period at puberty
• Why we outgrow people
• Why work impacts your health so much
• Importance of practicing physical, emotional and spiritual hygiene
• Why it’s important to connect more with the wisdom of the elders
• Why benchmarks for mental health are all changing to look more at the biopsychosocial and spiritual perspective than a mental-only perspective
• The wisdom of tribal elders
• Why the DSM-V is being heavily scrutinized
• The pitfalls of looking at mental health issues without looking at biological contributors
• The importance of being happy at work because you spend so much time connected to work
• Why employers need to support employees in new ways, focusing on their physical, mental and spiritual health
• Why many self-care practices result in improved executive function, creating a thicker cerebral cortex, thicker hippocampus, and/or increases in GABA
• Why you don’t want to get inflammation, the “kiss of death”
