S2E3:The Inner Voice That Won't Stop Talking
About this episode
That relentless inner voice—the one that replays past conversations, plans your next move, and won't let you sleep—what if it's physically affecting your health? In this episode, we explore the science of inner chatter, its surprising impact on your body, and how to reframe it to improve resilience and your overall health. We discuss some of the following:
- The hidden science of subvocalization—how your thoughts subtly activate your speech muscles
- MIT's AlterEgo device—the tech that can "read" your mind
- The mind-body connection—how inner dialogue affects digestion, immunity, heart health, and more
- Practical strategies—simple, science-backed ways to quiet the noise
- A special music experiment to help shift your inner voice
