Ep 128. Every day we’re flooded with information, decisions, patterns — the familiar and the ever-changing. As human beings our brains are wired to seek efficiency. We rely on our mental filters to process what’s known and ignore what’s novel, because novelty demands more energy.
But this very wiring can make us vulnerable: when the environment shifts, when predators (literal or social) hide behind camouflage, our pattern-seeking mind can be tricked.
True resilience comes when we learn not just to rely on the familiar, but to build self-regulation skills that let us step into flow, manage the extremes, and navigate both safety and disruption.
Your mind isn’t only running algorithms of habit and assumption — you can shape the “biological software” by training your nervous system, managing novelty with ease, and turning your body’s built-in survival systems into assets instead of blind spots.
If you’re ready to break free from autopilot, reclaim your intuition, and walk the line between order and chaos with purpose — you’re in the right place.
Take care and walk well.

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills

Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense.

With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t.
