Gratitude isn’t just a “feel-good” emotion. It’s a biological intervention.

In this week’s episode of the TRUE Wellness Podcast, Dr. Dee dives into the real science of gratitude.

Gratitude isn’t about pretending everything is perfect. It’s not toxic positivity or just mindset fluff. It’s a powerful tool that directly impacts your brain, hormones, inflammation levels, and even sleep.

Dr. Dee explores the scientific research behind gratitude’s effect on the medial prefrontal cortex (the emotional regulation center of your brain) and how it can shift your body from stress into coherence.

If you think gratitude is a “nice idea,” but doesn’t do anything for your health, this episode will change your mind.

Gratitude is more than just words. It’s a game-changer for your physical well-being.
