155. Your Brain Would Rather Be Right Than Well (And It's Keeping You Stuck)

Your negative thoughts are not just in your head. Your body hears every one, and it changes how you digest, absorb, and heal.

My book, The 7-Second Switch, is finally out. This episode is the idea at the heart of it, and why I spent two years writing it for you.

You'll learn why your brain holds on to old negative thought patterns even when they keep you stuck, how one thought about a lemon changes your body, and what neurodigestion means for your stomach acid, enzymes, and nutrient absorption.

I also share the 7-second tool I use myself, why your nervous system has to come first before digestion, metabolism, and hormones, and why stacking more health habits or jumping into a detox can leave you feeling worse.

If you keep doing everything right and still feel stuck, start with the thought beneath the thought.
