In this episode of the AHA Podcast, Ruth Lorensson and Thomas Pals introduce the groundbreaking concept of brain-informed wellness as part of their new series, The Fundamentals of Wellness. As the new year begins, many of us look to reset and embrace healthier habits, but what if the key to wellness isn’t about adding more to your plate, but about tapping into the innate wisdom of your brain?
Join Ruth and Tom as they discuss the difference between traditional wellness approaches like mindfulness and the AHA process, which focuses on activating your brain's natural ability to restore homeostasis and guide your body, mind, and spirit toward optimal well-being.
You'll also learn about interoception—your "sixth sense" for understanding your body—and hear real-life examples of how engaging the brain as a coach can uncover profound solutions to challenges in health and daily life.
Whether you're new to the AHA process or looking to deepen your understanding, this episode is the perfect starting point for exploring a revolutionary approach to wellness.
Key Takeaways:
- The difference between mindfulness and brain-informed wellness.
- What interoception is and why it’s critical to your well-being.
- How the brain's innate wisdom can transform your approach to health and problem-solving.
Get ready to rethink wellness and start your journey to a more balanced and intentional 2025!
