The Happiest Lives Podcast
E116: The Brain-Mood Link
In today’s episode of The Happiest Lives Podcast, we’re continuing our Hormones, Happiness, and the Holy Spirit series with a deep dive into brain health. Jill shares insights from her recent certification as a Brain Health Practitioner with the Amen Clinics and introduces six key brain systems that influence how you think, feel, focus, and function.
You’ll learn:
- Why your brain is like the hardware that runs your entire life
- The six core brain systems and how they relate to anxiety, depression, and attention
- Why traditional mental health diagnoses sometimes miss the mark—and what to do instead
- How food, movement, supplements, thought work, and (sometimes) medication can all work together to support your mental and emotional well-being
- Dr. Daniel Amen’s simple three-step formula for improving brain health—without needing a brain scan
If you’ve ever felt stuck, foggy, anxious, or just off—you’re not broken, and you’re not alone. Your brain can change. And that means your life can too.
