While dieting itself might lead to short-term results, it often results in constant weight fluctuations, decreased muscle mass and metabolism, and even an increased risk of heart disease and diabetes. Toxic diet culture [https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/parenting/a38029229/positive-body-image-for-kids/?fbclid=IwAR2qIGkO2AMBCFndrxpGW28gWnBq2LjYcmSVJc6tsX86MSnd5acLEbbvjjA] almost unanimously uses fear and shame-based marketing to convince you that you’re fat, unhealthy, and unworthy. This makes diet and exercise feel like a punishment rather than a form of self-love. Instead, we should celebrate food and fitness and choose to fuel ourselves with compassion and gratitude.

For the first time, we understand that the processing of sound drives many of the brain's core functions, thanks to the work of Dr. Nina Kraus [https://communication.northwestern.edu/faculty/nina-kraus/] and her book Of Sound Mind: How Our Brain Constructs a Meaningful Sonic World [https://amzn.to/3rckaLw]. Dr. Kraus is a Professor of Neurobiology in the Department of Communication Science & Disorders, and the head of the Brain Volts Lab [https://brainvolts.northwestern.edu/] at Northwestern University. She explores the role sound plays in brain health, the power of music for healing, the destructive power of noise on the nervous system. She traces what happens in the brain when we speak another language, have a language disorder, experience rhythm, listen to the noises of nature, or suffer an injury. Kraus shows how our engagement with sound leaves a fundamental imprint on who we are. In this episode, we discuss: * What Sound Is and the Ingredients Sound is Comprised Of * How Our Brains Interpret Sound * The Similarities between Sound Waves and Brain Waves * The Relationship between Auditory Processing and Cognition * How Head Trauma Can Impact Our Ability to Learn New Things * Why Music Brings Us into the Present Moment * How to Strengthen and Preserve Hearing Ability Over Time Connect with Nina: * Book: Of Sound Mind [https://amzn.to/3rckaLw] * Website: Brain Volts Lab [https://brainvolts.northwestern.edu/] * Instagram: @BrainVoltsNU [https://www.instagram.com/brainvoltsnu/] * Twitter: @BrainVolts [https://twitter.com/brainvolts] Connect with Ahmed: * Website: https://ahmednayel.com/ [https://ahmednayel.com/] * Facebook: Ahmed Nayel [https://www.facebook.com/ahmed.nayel.7334/] * Instagram: @the.ahmed.nayel [https://www.instagram.com/the.ahmed.nayel/] * Twitter: @theahmednayel [https://twitter.com/TheAhmedNayel] * YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA3UJQUdOCE64yFlXgXtxNQ] Reminder: Listening is great, but don’t forget to apply what you learned in your life.
