Our brain can change its structure and functions through a process called Neuroplasticity, which allows us to, by changing the stress response that takes place in our system, alleviate the body of inflammation, and reach homeostasis. Homeostasis is when cells, tissue, and organisms get the stability and consistency required to function normally.
After being diagnosed with Chronic Neurological Lyme disease at age 25, our guest, Ben Ahrens, learned two things: one, Lyme disease is caused by the exposure of Borellia, and two, a tiny percentage of people exposed to Borellia develop Lyme disease.
Later on, Ben learned that the brain determines how the body responds to particular stimuli. He got curious, so he decided to study neuroscience and understand the relationship between mind, body, and health.
Ben Ahren is the Co-founder and CEO at re-origin, a science-based, self-directed neuroplasticity training program specifically designed to help you reclaim your health and life.
In this episode, we delve into Ben's healing journey, recovering fully from Lyme disease using what he learned about Neuroplasticity. He explains complex brain functions with exquisite simplicity, making it easy to understand why and how our body reacts to stress and anxiety. We also talked about prevention, functional and healthy longevity, and Ben kindly shared practical ways of using Neuroplasticity to enhance our overall health.
Tune in to Episode 115 of Rejuvenaging, and discover the benefits of reprogramming our brain and maximizing its ability to heal itself.
