Dr. Scott Sherr on GABA: The Unsung Hero of Brain Health and Stress Resilience | EP 575

So some of the habits that I like to talk to my patients about. One of them is actually very simple, we just described, taking time in the day when you're not looking at phones or screens. This could be five minutes, it could be 10 minutes, it could be longer. I like this in the setting of meditation if people will do it, or if they're just gonna do some deep breathing.

Increasing your exhales is going to increase your GABA sympathetic, your GABA tone, and decrease your sympathetic tone. That's a very simple thing that you can do. Another thing you can do is have fun. Play, enjoy yourself. I have four kids at my house, especially when they were younger.

They're still pretty young, but especially when they were younger, if you're rolling around the floor with your kids, you're not in sympathetic dominance. You are in parasympathetic mode. You're in rest, recover. Another great way to do this, and this is the Italian way, this is the Mediterranean way, John, is to have great meals with friends, family, and laugh

Like crazy, laughing is a great way to reset your sympathetic and parasympathetic tone because laughing, it engages your diaphragm and then you release your diaphragm and all of a sudden you have this like relief, this relief. And that is the same way that you can increase your parasympathetic tone.

There's so many things you can do, even just, one of the things I like to have a lot of my patients do is take walks. Not crazy walks at huge paces, but just walk in nature, getting outside, getting sunlight. There are so many things you can do behaviorally to improve your parasympathetic tone. And those are just some examples.

Yeah, it's a great meditative event in essence, because what they teach in meditation oftentimes is that the sound that your feet make when you hit the ground is just as important as those thoughts in your mind. It's all just things happening in conscious awareness in space. And so nothing really gets more weight unless you choose it to.

So you can, in those sounds that you're hearing when you're walking, you don't have a choice of whether you hear those sounds or not. But you can actually create this sort of internal presence of those sounds and understand that it has a huge, this ecosystem that you're creating inside your mind is anything you choose it to be.

And you can put any weight on these certain things that you choose to make. And having time off of computers, off of phones, or in my case, as with my kids, is a great way to remind yourself that there's more than those thoughts in your mind. And when you start doing this and you start putting these things into practice and your patients, in my case, start doing this, their health transforms.
