Dr. Juna Bobby, a Harvard-trained radiologist, explains how listening can trigger your relaxation response by interrupting the constant stream of everyday thoughts. This shifts your nervous system from stress mode to rest-and-digest mode, creating a physiological opposite to anxiety.

Hello there. I'm Dr. Juna Bobby MD. I'm a board-certified radiologist and lifestyle medicine physician, and this is the Mind Body Space Podcast where we talk about the science of resilience. And literally just by listening, you can become more resilient. Eliciting the relaxation response is rather simple. The bottom line is that we want to interrupt the train of everyday thinking. You know, all those thoughts that go on and on in our heads all day long. So when we interrupt that, we can elicit the relaxation response, which is the physiologic opposite of the stress response, meaning that we turn down the sympathetic nervous system and turn up the parasympathetic nervous system.
