Episode Description

The emotional brain is our hidden asset that contains wires, neural circuits that control everything that really matters in life: health, happiness, relationships, spirituality, creativity, productivity, and purpose. These wires control us, but by moving to a new paradigm in self-care, you can control your own wiring. It's the age of the emotional brain in which our capacity to use the power of emotions to switch on and off circuits, strengthen wires that empower us, and weaken and transform wires that block our joy will impact the quality of our lives. This new show launches with host Dr. Laurel Mellin, the founder of emotional brain training (EBT) and the Brain Based Health movement and guest Dr. Michele Welling, a physician, director of EBT professional training for certifying health professionals in the method and an addiction medicine expert talking about this new paradigm in health and wellness. Listeners call in to learn the tools and appreciate their brain's power.

Unlock the power of your emotional brain! It's our emotions that drive our stress, joy, passions, creativity, health, and sense of purpose. Technology, scarcity, and diseases have ramped up our stress and caused us to suppress our emotions. Dr. Laurel says, "Stop suppressing and start expressing!" With her easy-to-learn, safe, structured method, emotional brain training (EBT), she shows us how to ask one simple question, "What's my number?" and within minutes feel transformed, with a new sense of joy and freedom. The method is scientific, proven, and rapidly changing healthcare. Amaze yourself by using these tools, then share them with everyone you know as stress overload is the #1 epidemic worldwide. We all need to reboot our brains to become resiliency superstars.
