This study took a “reverse†approach to how we can reduce stress and improve overall health – they studied the health of those with mental resilience!
The findings align with what we are seeing when creating media to reduce stress:
(1) Improved Brain Function: Resilient people exhibit better cognition and emotional regulation.
(2) Healthy Gut Microbiome: Resilient individuals have gut microbiomes with lower inflammation and stronger gut barriers.
(3) Overall Health: The study underscores resilience as a whole-body phenomenon affecting both brain and gut health.
The brain and body connection is getting clearer which is helping understand why calming the mind greatly reshapes physiological function. Exciting!
