If you're putting bad drugs in your head, you're going to have a bad life.
Ever thought about how music can be more than just background noise? In this fascinating episode of the Power of a Positive Playlist Podcast, best-selling author and music therapist John Ivor Chester III uncovers some surprising facts about the music we listen to every day. With over 25 years of experience in music therapy, John has developed programs that have helped countless people deal with addiction, depression, PTSD, and more.
He shares that while we often think of music as mere entertainment, it actually has powerful effects on our brains and bodies—effects we might not even be aware of. John dives into the science behind how music affects us. For instance, did you know that listening to music activates multiple areas of your brain simultaneously? Your frontal lobe, temporal lobe, and even the parts that process language get involved.
This is why a simple song can bring back vivid memories or change your mood in an instant. John also discusses how music can improve mental and physical health, from boosting immune systems post-surgery to lowering stress in pregnant women. One of the most intriguing parts of the episode is John's exploration of how animals respond to music. He talks about 'species-specific' music—tunes designed with pitches, tones, and tempos that are familiar to particular animals.
It's a quirky yet eye-opening look at how deeply ingrained music is in the lives of all living beings. John also shares his coaching methods and how he uses positive playlists to create therapeutic environments. Whether you're looking to improve your own mental and physical health or just curious about the hidden powers of music, this episode offers valuable insights that could change the way you think about your favorite tunes.
