250. You're Thoughts Aren't Harmless… They're Biochemical Instructions
In this episode, you explain how thoughts are not harmless but act as biochemical instructions that can either support healing or keep the body stuck in stress and illness. You connect mindset with physiology—stress hormones, sleep, inflammation, and even gene expression—and encourage listeners to consciously choose more supportive inner dialogue, explore epigenetics (e.g., Dr. Bruce Lipton's work), and consider coaching to rewire their neural networks.
Key Points
- Thoughts act as biochemical instructions in the body
- Chronic negative self-talk raises stress hormones (e.g., cortisol)
- High cortisol disrupts melatonin and healthy sleep
- Negative thinking keeps the body inflamed and blocks healing
- Inner dialogue is as important as nutrition and supplements
- Beliefs can shape physiological outcomes and health
- Thoughts and environment influence gene expression (epigenetics)
- The reticular activating system (RAS) filters reality to match beliefs
- Reframing with "What if that wasn't true?" opens new perspectives
- Choosing positive thoughts helps healing vs. staying sick and stuck
- Coaching can help rewire neural networks and shift mindset
