Signs From the Body You Should Never Ignore - Dr Tara Swart

In this interview, Chris Williamson and Dr. Tara Swart explore the concept of trusting one's instincts and intuition in a world that often prioritizes logic and rationality. Dr. Swart differentiates between instinct and intuition, defining intuition as wisdom based on life lessons stored in the limbic system and body tissues, while instinct is more primal and survival-oriented. They discuss the importance of balancing logic and intuition, especially in decision-making, and how intuition can be a superpower in areas where technology and AI fall short. The conversation also covers the serotonin hypothesis, the role of gut health and inflammation in brain function, and the influence of social circles on intuition. Dr. Swart provides practical advice on honing intuition through journaling, meditation, and recognizing patterns, while acknowledging the challenges of distinguishing intuition from anxiety. The discussion further delves into the impact of early life experiences, the value of trusting oneself, and the potential for future scientific exploration of consciousness and phenomena beyond current understanding.
