# 478 - Mindfulness : live your best life - Prof Ellen Langer

Prof Langer's book : https://amzn.to/3WW7UPg Prof Ellen Langer also known as the Mother of Mindfulness, became the first woman to receive tenure in psychology at Harvard University, she has spent the last forty-five-years researching mindlessness and mindfulness. She has published hundreds of articles and numerous bestselling books including her latest, The Mindful body. Her research and books focus on the illusion of control, mindful aging, health, stress and decision-making. She is very much a believer in the idea that the mind and body are unified and not separate as has been the conventionally accepted concept underpinning western medicine. In this episode Prof Langer determines what she means when she uses the term mindfulness and how it differs from the concept that many people believe it to be. We hear what prompted her to study mindfulness in the first place. Throughout the interview Prof Langer gives examples of the groundbreaking research she has performed, including the famous Counterclockwise study which looked at what effects turning back the clock psychologically would have on an older adult's physiological state. We talk about the power of mindset, perception and we hear about the impact mindset had on the physiology of chambermaids. Expect to learn why Professor Langer believes the mind and body are one entity. We hear about mindlessness and learn Professor Langer's thoughts on probability, the pointlessness of making predictions and how best to make decisions. Professor Ellen Langer is a titan in the field of psychology, I was so honoured to have her on the podcast, I hope you enjoy this discussion as much as I did. https://psychology.fas.harvard.edu/pe...https://www.ellenlanger.me/ Music : Credit purple planet music Music used is Purple planet Music Order Happy Habits for Mind and Body Audiobook: https://rb.gy/h5jjjg Order Kindle copy of Happy Habits for Mind and Body : https://amzn.to/4c9T38f Order US paperback of Happy Habits for Mind and Body : https://amzn.to/4bxczeT Order UK paperback of Happy Habits for Mind and Body : https://rb.gy/jtfea5 Listen to all previous podcast episodes of the Happy Habit Podcast via these podcast platforms : Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast...

#472 - Women MUST lift weights for optimum HEALTH - Dr Stacy Sims

Dr Sims books: https://amzn.to/3VH0w8E Dr Stacy Sims is a physiologist who specialises in women's fitness, performance, nutrition and hormone related health. This seems ridiculous given the fact that women make up about 50% of the global population, but the vast majority of scientific data we have has been derived by studying only men, which means theres a glaring lack of science-based information thats specific to women. And this often means women are doing the wrong training, eating the wrong food, not reaching their full potential, and/or often suffering unnecessary discomfort and pain. Dr Sims' mission is to redress that imbalance. In this episode we talk about how body temperature is a factor in women's health and performance. We learn what exercises women should be doing and what nutrition they should be consuming. Should women be taking cold plunges ? We discover how resistance training can help offset cognitive decline. We learn how women in peri menopause are in a state of sympathetic drive and what this means for their health and performance. Expect to learn of the value of interval training. Discover that women in their 20s and 30s can positively influence their personal experience of the peri-menopause and menopause years ahead of time. Plus, we find out how women can reframe how they perceive weight training, consumption of protein and the gym space that is ususally a male dominated arena.
