The Neuroscience of Reality: Why Change Doesn’t Always Stick | Ep 412

A physical transformation doesn’t automatically change the story you’re living inside. You can lose the weight, change the labs, clear the symptoms, hit the goal… and still feel like the same OG version of yourself. In this solo episode, Erin is talking about the “neuroscience of reality” – how your brain uses old beliefs, past experiences, and predictive patterns to construct what you see, how you feel, and what you think is possible for you.This episode is all about self-sabotage. Erin explains how the brain filters millions of pieces of information down to a tiny fraction of conscious awareness, and how understanding this can create a massive amount of compassion for yourself in the healing process.P.S. The Manifest Your Health app was built to support this exact process!
