The Doctor's Farmacy with Mark Hyman, M.D.

Chapters

The chapter explores the distinctions between mindfulness and meditation, explaining how mindfulness focuses on present-moment awareness and stress management, while meditation aims to deep rest and eliminate past stress.
  • Mindfulness is about bringing awareness to the present moment.
  • Meditation induces deep rest, five times deeper than sleep, to eliminate past stress.
  • Mindfulness is more focused and disciplined, while meditation allows for a longer leash and more flexibility.

Shownotes Transcript

What if you could train your brain to handle stress better—just by meditating for a few minutes each day? In this episode of “The Doctor’s Farmacy,” I revisit conversations with Emily Fletcher, Dan Harris, and Daniel Goleman to explore how meditation rewires the brain, reduces anxiety, and enhances mental clarity. You’ll learn the science behind mindfulness, loving-kindness meditation, and other techniques that not only improve stress management but also promote overall mental health and wellness.
