Dementia - Essence of Medicine

The notebooklm AI podcast examines statistical learning in the brain and its impact on the formation of cultural and individual differences. It discusses how macro- and microcultures shape our way of perceiving regularities and meanings. Additionally, it analyzes cultural differences in visual perception, language use, and conceptions of time and space. In particular, the significance of microcultures for individual differences and their influence on cognitive abilities compared to macrocultures is emphasized. The case study deepens the understanding of how diverse exposure to various micro-cultural environments can promote cognitive growth and shape intelligence throughout life.

The Truth About Fear: Why It’s Controlling You & How to Reclaim Your Power

Yoga and trauma are deeply connected through the mind-body relationship. Trauma often leaves a lasting impact not just on the mind but also on the body, manifesting as tension, dysregulation, or disconnection. Yoga, particularly trauma-informed yoga, offers a pathway to healing by addressing these effects holistically.

Trauma-informed yoga focuses on creating a safe and supportive environment where individuals can reconnect with their bodies. It emphasizes gentle movements, mindfulness, and breathing exercises to help regulate the nervous system, reduce hyperarousal, and foster a sense of safety and control. This approach is especially beneficial for trauma survivors, as it allows them to regain autonomy over their bodies and emotion.  Tune in for more.

Exploring the Connection Between Trauma and Yoga

We’ve all had patients struggling with chronic conditions like long COVID, fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, and chronic fatigue. Despite all the tools in our functional medicine toolkit, there’s still something missing. How can we truly help them? I’m excited to have Ashok Gupta back on the New Frontiers podcast to offer a new take on healing from chronic illness. He explains that many chronic diseases stem from a malfunction in the brain's threat detection system, where the body overreacts to perceived threats, triggering immune, nervous system, or mood responses, creating a vicious cycle. Ashok shares how retraining the brain and calming the nervous system can reset the body’s response to chronic stress and presents the growing body of research supporting the Gupta Program, including new subjective measurements like CRP showing its impact. What excites me most is the potential for this approach to help some of my toughest-to-treat patients. With more studies emerging, I’m increasingly hopeful this could be a game-changer. It’s a conversation you won’t want to miss! ~DrKF

Julia Williamson & Maddy Monacelli: Sing to Thrive!

Christopher Murphy answers the question by a student "Can you speak about delusions and how to prevent the mind from morphing reality into something negative?" 

The mind is a shape-shifter, constantly forming identities, narratives, and perceptions. Spiritual practice often helps it take on more positive forms. Ultimately, all forms are delusions. True liberation means going beyond all shapes, identities, and desires into a formless, desireless awareness.

The Emergency Alarm That Won't Turn Off, Neuroplasticity

0129 The Emergency Alarm That Won't Turn Off

Helena Popovic on Afternoons with Sofie Formica - 4BC

What if the way you love, fight, avoid, or people-please wasn’t a personality flaw—but a survival blueprint?

In this episode, I sit down with trauma-informed therapist Laura Fess, founder of VOX Mental Health, for a powerful conversation about what really happens to our nervous system when we grow up in survival mode—and how those early patterns shape our adult relationships, attachment styles, and mental health.

We explore:
• How survival mode wires the brain for hypervigilance
• What anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment really look like in adulthood
• The neuroscience behind healing, storytelling, and post-traumatic growth
• Why unlearning old patterns isn’t failure—it’s neuroplasticity
• The quiet, resilient power of hope—and how to let it drive

I also share a journal entry from when I was 15, written during a pivotal turning point in my family’s story. It’s conflicted and searching, filled with the kind of quiet hope that surfaces when you're desperate for change but not sure it will come.

It’s vulnerable, reflective, and the perfect opening to this layered conversation about pain, healing, and how we can slowly carve new paths—machete in hand—toward something different.

If your story includes trauma, survival mode, or the long journey of trying to feel safe again, this one is for you.

"Neuroplasticity" is an uplifting Psy-Chill track designed to rewire the listener's mind through sound. Inspired by the scientific principle that our brains can change and adapt based on new behaviors and experiences, this track offers a sonic pathway to that transformation. The music builds on a foundation of vibrant, evolving textures and a steady, grounding rhythm that invites movement. As the layers of shimmering synths, warm basslines, and intricate percussive details unfold, they create an environment that encourages a state of flow and positive reinforcement. The track serves as a reminder that just as we can consciously work on ourselves to form new neural pathways, the act of dancing to uplifting music can be a powerful tool for that very change.

Hi, I’m Jenn, and I’m passionate about transforming the conversation around mental health through creativity, connection, and advocacy. Nearly 50 years of life have taught me that we all carry shadows—stories that shape who we are and how we show up in the world. My story began with the challenges of growing up with a parent battling undiagnosed mental illness, an experience that deeply influenced my resilience, empathy, and innovative spirit.

A lifelong creative mind blending technology and art. My journey began in 2005 through the lens of photography — from aerial and macro to underwater imagery — and evolved over 13 years as an Official Government Photographer. Along the way, videography and drone cinematography expanded my visual storytelling.

Music has always been my heartbeat — I play eight instruments and record from my own home studio. With a strong foundation in IT and my role as a Senior Administrative Specialist, I now channel all these worlds into neuroART — a project fusing AI, music, and imagery to explore the intersection of human emotion and machine creativity.

Welcome! My name is Tanya, and I am passionate about helping people heal from trauma and live fulfilling lives. As a certified trauma-informed yoga teacher and coach, I know how important it is to prioritize mental health and self-care. 

That's why I created this podcast to share tips, insights, and inspiration for living a trauma-free lifestyle. You can find my podcast on Apple, SoundCloud, and YouTube. By listening to my podcast, you will gain valuable knowledge based on my personal experiences as a student, as well as my expertise as a certified coach, yoga therapy teacher, and wellness professional. 

I invite you to tune in and join me on this healing journey. Together, we can work towards a brighter future, free from the burden of trauma.

Philosophy is the pathless path; our inborn search for Truth. It is the hope of Christopher Murphy that through his teaching endeavors he can remind others of this innate search for Truth and empower them to see the Eternal with their own eyes.
