Beyond Positive Thinking: How Your Nervous System Really Drives Results
Manage episode 484194431 series 3585002
In this second episode in the series on the psychology behind peak performance, we explore the deep, powerful connection between the human mind and the physical body.
Dr. Angie Brown, a doctor of physical therapy and founder of Real Life Runners, joins me to explain the science and soul behind peak performance. Dr. Brown reveals how our nervous system, beliefs, stress, and past experiences show up in our physical bodies.
Through compelling stories from her clinical practice—and even her own family—this conversation unpacks why aches, pains, and even chronic injuries might be rooted in mindset and emotional health just as much as muscle or bone.
Dr. Brown shares her holistic approach to healing, which looks far beyond traditional physical therapy to include mindset, nutrition, rest, and stress regulation. Whether you’re a runner, high performer, or someone wanting to tune in more closely to what your body is telling you, this episode will open your eyes to how much more you’re capable of—if you’re willing to truly listen to your mind-body connection.
