91. What doesn’t kill you… w/ Paul Taylor, Neuroscientist, Exercise Physiologist, Nutritionist and PhD student in Psychology

<p>Over 10 days of freezing, starving and being ‘hunted’, during brutal resistance to interrogation training with the British Royal Navy, helped inoculate this week’s podcast guest against the stresses of daily life. Events and situations that would have previously caused grief felt like ‘water off a duck’s back’; sparking an epiphany. Paul Taylor realised that psychological and emotional stress stimulated adaptive, protective responses in the same way exercise, physical stress, does. In this conversation Paul explains the good, the bad and the ugly of stress, how our perception of stress changes its affects on us for better or for worse, what’s happening in an anxious brain, how we can all build physical and psychological resilience and so much more.</p><p>A former British Royal Navy Aircrew Officer, Paul Taylor is a Neuroscientist, Exercise Physiologist and Nutritionist who is currently completing a PhD in Applied Psychology, where he is developing and testing resilience strategies with the Australian Defence Science Technology Group &amp; The University of Tasmania.</p><br><p>MindBodyBrain Project Podcast</p><p><a href="http://www.mindbodybrain.com.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.mindbodybrain.com.au</a></p><p>@mindbodybrainpi</p><p>Death By Comfort book</p><p><a href="http://www.paultaylor.biz" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.paultaylor.biz</a></p><br><p><br></p><p>Thanks for listening to this episode of “Well, hello anxiety with Dr Jodi Richardson.”</p><br><p>How you can help: If you enjoyed this episode, or gained some useful insight from it, please share it with a friend or family member.
