In this transformative episode of Mind Over Matter, neuroscientist and Manifest Wellness founder Jamey Maniscalco breaks down why stress isn’t the villain we’ve made it out to be. With over a decade studying stress and the brain, Jamey shares how your mindset about stress—more than the stress itself—can affect your health, decision-making, and longevity. Learn about the science behind stress hormones like cortisol and DHEA, how to shift into a “stress-is-enhancing” mindset, and three actionable tools to stop mental rumination in its tracks. Whether you’re battling anxiety or looking to optimize your performance, this episode delivers brain-backed strategies for lasting change.

Key Takeaways:

  • A “stress-is-enhancing” mindset can increase resilience, reduce anxiety, and even lower mortality risk.

  • Stress hormones like DHEA can boost brain growth and emotional stability—when harnessed correctly.

  • Simple practices like mindfulness, exercise, and quality sleep support a healthier stress response.

  • Reframing stress, identifying its purpose, and recognizing its growth potential are keys to mental mastery.
