Key Topics:
• How exercise rewires the brain and nervous system
• The science of movement and its impact on aging
• Longevity lessons from cardiovascular physiology
• How fitness influences emotional and cognitive health
• Understanding vascular health and inflammation
• Exercise strategies for different body types and goals
• What research shows about women's health and aging
• Why tennis, balance training, and interval work improve brain function

Dr. Perry also discusses her groundbreaking Vascular Health Project at the University of Miami, a study focused on improving women's vascular and metabolic health through lifestyle interventions.

In this episode of The Healthy Mind Podcast, Dr. Steven Resnick reveals the scientific truth behind how chronic negative thinking patterns can literally sabotage your health. If you've tried everything—from medications to lifestyle changes—but still struggle with symptoms, your mindset may be the missing piece.

Dr. Resnick explains how negative thought loops and subconscious patterns get hardwired into your brain, keeping your body locked in stress, inflammation, and illness. More importantly—he shares exactly what you can do about it.

If you're ready to understand the real connection between mind and body—and how to shift it—this conversation will change the way you think about health.

• Change is the foundation of healing and starts with intentional actions that rewire the brain, not just diagnoses or prescriptions.

• Understanding and differentiating between goals (an outcome) and intentions (the guiding direction) can illuminate paths to lasting change.

• The process of shifting identity away from being defined by conditions or past experiences is crucial to implementing change.

• Intentionally framing goals in positive language is vital for the brain to construct new, healthier networks, avoiding negative cues that reinforce current discomforts.
