Join Dr. Branca in this calming meditation, designed to show you two tools for dealing with a moderate level of stress—the breath and the imagining of a natural setting. Breathing is not just for oxygen but it’s linked to brain function and behavior. Slow deep breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system and can change your stress level!

Show Notes

Brainthropology
Noun /brānTHrəˈpäləjē/

- the study of optimizing brain health for peak performance in life
-the science of the human brain, especially the study of its influence over sensations, emotions, mental abilities, and function in daily life

You carry around a three-pound, wrinkly mass of tissue in your head that is the control center, enabling you to simultaneously think, move, feel emotions, and sense the world around you. It controls every single thing you will ever do including every breath, thought, emotion, and heartbeat.

This amazing supercomputer is your brain and you have the ability to improve its functioning no matter your age or condition. On this podcast, we educate our listeners on the potential of the human brain, how to optimize its abilities, and equip you to find solutions when it has been altered by life, illness, or an injury.

Our unique programming offers practical applications, exercises, expert interviews, and therapist feedback on issues we have been tackling together as a team for the last 20+years. We hope to share our knowledge and experience to empower and encourage you to live a life filled with hope, joy, and purpose.
