Summary

Ella and Matt take a deep dive into the world of the brain with Dr Mithu Storoni looking at how our brains record events as we perceive them, not as they actually happen, how our emotional and rational sides of the brain control the way we see the world and how we can therefore train ourselves to shift from a negative to a positive bias. Stress can both help and harm us and Mithu helps us understand the ways in which we can use this to achieve peak performance and improve our mental and physical health, as well as how small tweaks in our lifestyles can make us feel completely different, why challenge and reward cycles can be game changing, and how our perceptions of colour, sounds, taste and time alter under stress.

0:05.2	A little note on sponsors, we only work with brands that I actually use and I truly love.
0:11.2	I and we will never promote anything that isn't totally authentic or something that we don't

0:37.8	of bacteria that support pretty much all aspects of our mental and physical health, from digestion,
0:43.8	to our immune system, energy production and mental health. Keeping the right balance of good bacteria
0:49.4	in our gut is so important. Our diet and our lifestyles have a huge impact on that, but adding
0:55.4	in live bacteria can really help too. The bacteria in SimProve, which is a water-based
1:00.6	supplement, can survive the very long journey from the mouth to the gut, whether they're
1:05.2	able to multiply and support your microbiome. I truly swear by it, my husband takes it too,

1:43.6	partner Ella Mills. Hi everyone and welcome back. The most popular episode we've ever had on our
1:49.4	podcast actually was our episode on stress with rank and category a few weeks ago. The
