If you want to control your emotions better, if you want to be more of an architect of your own experience, then the first thing that you must do is you must get enough sleep, you must get enough exercise and you must eat properly in a nutritious way.
Ever wondered how your brain crafts the emotions you feel every day? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', Eric Zimmer sits down with Lisa Feldman Barrett, a distinguished professor of psychology, to unravel the mysteries of our emotional world. Lisa's groundbreaking research challenges the old belief that emotions are hard-wired and unchangeable. Instead, she explains how our brains use past experiences to predict and construct emotions, making each feeling a unique blend of bodily sensations and mental interpretations.
Lisa dives into the brain's predictive nature, showing how it can sometimes lead us astray into anxiety or depression. She also highlights the importance of interoception—how our body senses its internal state—and how it influences our emotions. From the role of sleep and exercise to proper nutrition, Lisa offers practical tips on managing our emotional well-being. Eric's own journey from addiction and homelessness adds a relatable touch, making this episode both enlightening and deeply human.
Tune in for a fresh perspective on taking charge of your emotions and living a more fulfilling life.
