Listen "157: Optimizing Your Brain with Dominika Staniewicz"
Episode Synopsis
Hello friends, welcome to an exciting episode of Thrive Beyond Size. It’s exciting because if you’ve been listening for a while, you know I love anything related to the brain. Brain science, neuroscience, neuropsychology, it all fascinates me because we can use the brain to get us closer to our goals and I found an expert in all things brain and science-related, Dominika Staniewicz. Dominika, or Coach D, is a dual elite neuro encoding specialist, Brain Health Coach at Dr. Amen, and author of the No. 1 Kindle release “The Magic of Dreaming Big, Acting Small, and Achieving Success”. I talked with Dominika about the science behind the brain, everything from how it can regenerate itself to the science behind intuition and everything in between. This conversation is full of so many great insights and actionable advice, and I’m so excited to share it with you!Dominika talks about the science behind meditation and breathwork, activities people dismiss as ‘crazy’ but which have a lot of science behind them. One of the things she stresses is how to treat our brains right and that includes letting our brain soak up the outdoors, morning light, and no less than 7.5 hours of sleep per night for optimal functioning. We talk about the mirror exercise and why it works, why our culture is a quick-fix one and dismisses natural healing like exercise and the outdoors to aid in alleviating depression, and why coaching fulfills her. Our brains have an amazing ability to help us if we help them first and Dominika is so good at explaining the scientific why and how of the brain’s ability. She explains how to make affirmations and meditation work for our brains, and how to train brains into positive thinking, and I just know you’ll get so much out of our conversation.__About Dominika Staniewicz:Dominika Staniewicz M.S, a dual elite Neuroencoding specialist, Brain Health Coach at Dr. Amen, and author of the No. 1 Kindle Release "The Magic of Dreaming Big, Acting Small, and Achieving Success."
