The Neurobiology of Wellness

If you’ve been struggling with your wellness program and feel like self-indulgence and social media might not be right for you, your neurobiology might give you a clue.

The Neurobiology of Wellness is a ground-breaking course that re-thinks how to approach well-being. In this course, I'll start by exploring what wellness means for mind, body, and soul before I examine what a few dozen gurus have to say about what makes us happy.

Then, I’ll walk you through our neurobiology; how our brains and bodies work. We'll talk about the different systems and our neurochemistry. We'll explore how one system relates to fear, shame, and guilt and how the other system helps us dream and thrive. And we'll dig deeper into how we can get rid of fear, shame, and guilt in our own lives.

Next, we’ll talk about the environmental signals that we encounter with our senses and what that does to our neurochemistry. Once we understand a bit more about the hidden influences behind our well-being, we can talk about what we can do to grow.

I’ll explore growth and wellness from psychological, neurobiological, philosophical, and physical perspectives – East meets West, male versus female, science and art – and show you how the communities we connect with and the compassion we have for one another are at the core of our happiness.
