No.1 Neuroscientist: The Science Behind Stress, Body Fat & Manifestation | Dr. Tara Swart

Dr. Tara Swart, a neuroscientist, defines high performance as mental resilience rather than constant activity, emphasizing the importance of recharging. She discusses the negative impacts of constant connectivity, particularly from smartphones, on attention spans and mental health, especially in children. To build mental resilience, Swart recommends practices like journaling, gratitude, and spending time in nature, suggesting the creation of micro-habits to foster lasting change. She highlights the detrimental effects of chronic stress on health and cognitive function, linking high cortisol levels to weight gain and reduced creativity. Swart also emphasizes the significance of purpose, social connections, and the benefits of nature on well-being. She introduces neuroaesthetics, exploring how beauty and creativity positively affect the brain. For those looking to implement changes, she offers a four-step process focused on awareness, observation, practice, and accountability, encouraging patience and self-kindness throughout the journey.
