S2E12: Your Mind on Meditation & Mindfulness, with Dr. Sarah Strohmaier

Minds Matter by Beth Fisher and Ava Ma de Sousa

Episode notes

Is more of a good thing always better? We know this isn't the case with exercise and eating, but does the same idea apply to meditation and mindfulness? This week on the podcast Dr. Sarah Strohmaier talks about her research on 'dose' meditation. Her research found that more mindfulness isn't always the best approach. We discuss how mindfulness and meditation help reduce anxiety and stress and what brain regions are involved in these processes. Ava and Beth share their own experiences with meditation practices.
