Episode 165: Everything is Connected with guest Dr. Howard Eisenberg
BrainShape Podcast

But, in fact, humans have three brains: the head brain, the gut brain and the heart brain. Each plays a critical role in your human experience.

Episode 160: Love the Skin You’re In Interview with Dr. Andrea Wilkinson
BrainShape Podcast
In order to love the skin you’re in, you need to quiet the busyness of your critical mind and connect with your true essence. Your mind is a very busy place.
