b'In this episode, my guest is Elissa Epel, Ph.D., professor and vice chair of the department of psychiatry at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and the author of a new book entitled "The Stress Prescription." We discuss her work showing how stress impacts mood, eating behavior, mental health, physical health, and aging. She explains stress intervention tools using \\u201ctop-down\\u201d techniques (e.g., radical acceptance, mindfulness, reframing), body-based methods (e.g., breathwork) including the Wim Hof Method, exercise, meditation, body scans, and environmental shifts proven to help people cease unhealthy rumination patterns. We discuss how stress can positively impact psychology and sense of purpose, how stress affects cellular aging, how our narratives of stressful events impact our mood and biology, and how to effectively reframe stress. She explains science-based techniques to break stress-induced cycles of craving and overeating and thereby improve insulin sensitivity and metabolic health. Dr. Epel provides a wide range of tools shown to be effective in reducing stress and improving various aspects of our health.\\nFor the full show notes, visit hubermanlab.com.\\nThank you to our sponsors\\nAG1 (Athletic Greens): https://athleticgreens.com/huberman\\nLMNT: https://drinklmnt.com/huberman\\nWaking Up: https://www.wakingup.com/huberman\\nMomentous: https://www.livemomentous.com/huberman\\nTimestamps\\n(00:00:00) Dr. Elissa Epel\\n(00:02:33) Sponsors: LMNT & Waking Up\\n(00:06:18) Stress; Effects on Body & Mind\\n(00:12:50) Tools: Overthinking & Stress\\n(00:15:37) Acute, Moderate & Chronic Stress, Breathing\\n(00:21:23) Stress Benefits, Aging & Cognition; Stress Challenge Response\\n(00:27:23) Sponsor: AG1 (Athletic Greens)\\n(00:32:19) Tool: Shifting Stress to Challenge Response, \\u201cStress Shields\\u201d\\n(00:37:400 Stress, Overeating, Craving & Opioid System\\n(00:48:55) Tools: Breaking Overeating Cycles, Mindfulness\\n(00:54:44) Soda & Sugary Drinks\\n(01:00:51) Smoking, Processed Food & Rebellion\\n(01:06:47) Tools: Mindfulness, Pregnancy & Metabolic Health\\n(01:14:11) Body Scan & Cravings\\n(01:17:28) Tool: Meditation & Aging; Meditation Retreats\\n(01:23:35) Meditation, Psychedelics & Neuroplasticity\\n(01:26:02) Mitochondrial Health, Stress & Mood\\n(01:29:49) Chronic Stress & Radical Acceptance, \\u201cBrick Wall\\u201d\\n(01:37:57) Tool: Control, Uncertainty\\n(01:45:25) Stress Management, \\u201cSkillful Surfing\\u201d\\n(01:50:25) Narrative, Purpose & Stress\\n(01:52:49) Breathwork, Wim Hof Method, Positivity & Cellular Aging\\n(02:03:11) Zero-Cost Support, YouTube Feedback, Spotify & Apple Reviews, Sponsors, Momentous, Social Media, Neural Network Newsletter\\nTitle Card Photo Credit: Mike Blabac\\nDisclaimer'
