#37 Brain Bite: Research Says The Words In Your Mind Matter

Your body is listening—and it believes you. We dive into the science and practice of talking to your body with safety, gratitude, and calm, showing how simple language can downshift stress, lift vagal tone, and accelerate healing.

Drawing on psychoneuroimmunology and a Harvard-backed framework for affective signaling, we unpack why the nervous system treats inner speech like sound in the room and how that shapes cortisol, inflammation, pain, and recovery.

We share the story of a chronic pain patient who swapped apology and self-blame for “thank you” and saw muscle tension drop and pain cut in half. Your words matter and your body is listening.

If you’ve ever wondered whether words can heal, this conversation offers a practical answer and a week-long challenge to test it yourself. Start small, speak kindly, and notice what shifts in your body’s chemistry and your day-to-day resilience. If you found this useful, follow the show, share it with someone who needs calm today, and leave a review to help more listeners find these strategies.
