Summary

It’s new years resolution season - that time of year where we’re swearing off alcohol, trying to drink less coffee or working on other health resolutions. How are habits formed in the body and how does breaking a habit affect your body? How can you support your body through habit changes and how closely linked are your brain and body anyway? In this episode of the Ancient Health Podcast, Doctor Chris Motley explores the intricate relationship between habits, emotions, and organ health through the lens of Eastern medicine. Learn how habits are formed in the brain and organs, the impact of emotions on physiological functions, and pick up strategies for changing habits gradually. Doctor Motley skillfully combines Easter Medicine with western science’s latest research on neuroplasticity. #TraditionalChineseMedicine #habits #health Want more of The Ancient Health Podcast?

Emotions can significantly affect physiological functions. Neuroplasticity allows the brain to adapt to new habits. Gradual change is more effective than going cold turkey. Understanding the emotional connections to habits is crucial. Herbs and supplements can aid in breaking habits. Detoxification can help release trapped emotions. Creating new habits involves reinforcing positive behaviors. Small changes can lead to significant habit transformations. EFT tapping can be a useful tool for emotional release.
