Dr. Fred Clary"s Podcast ·

2026/02/23

Art and beauty exert a measurable influence on the human body and soul: exposure to harmonious form, color, proportion, and music has been shown to lower cortisol, reduce blood pressure, regulate breathing, and stimulate dopamine and oxytocin—chemicals associated with pleasure, bonding, and well-being—while simultaneously activating memory centers in the brain that connect us to personal and collective history. Beauty draws the nervous system out of chronic stress and into contemplative prese...

Real Life Progress: Focus on What You Can Do Daily,...

Dr. Fred Clary"s Podcast ·

2026/02/11

Real, lasting change does not happen instantly — it happens daily. From a neurological standpoint, your brain thrives on small, repeatable actions that restore agency and regulate stress, not overwhelming attempts at massive transformation. Structurally, the body adapts through consistent input, just as posture, breathing, and alignment improve through repetition rather than urgency. As a chiropractor, neurologist, and life coach, I emphasize focusing on what you can control each day — your b...

Staying Calm and Powerful as your Superpower:...

Dr. Fred Clary"s Podcast ·

2026/02/04

This episode explores how staying calm when disrespected is not a matter of willpower or personality, but of nervous-system regulation. Drawing from chiropractic, neurological, and life-coaching perspectives, it explains why disrespect triggers fight-or-flight responses in the body before the mind can think clearly. The episode teaches listeners to regulate the body first—through breathing, posture, and grounding—so the brain can regain clarity and self-control. Calm is reframed as a physiolo...

Trauma Bonding at a Societal Level: Why Chaos Can...

Dr. Fred Clary"s Podcast ·

2026/01/29

Trauma Bonding at a Societal Level Trauma bonding at a societal level occurs when entire communities become emotionally attached to ongoing stress, chaos, and threat through repeated cycles of fear and temporary relief. Constant exposure to crisis-driven narratives keeps the nervous system in a heightened state of activation, where cortisol remains elevated and the brain’s threat centers dominate decision-making. In this state, people often bond not to peace or truth, but to the very sources ...

Community & Cultural Gaslighting: Protecting the Nervous System in an Age of Chaos When communities are flooded with conflicting narratives—each emotionally charged and claiming exclusive truth—the nervous system enters a state of chronic stress. This phenomenon, known as cultural gaslighting, destabilizes our sense of reality by overwhelming the brain’s threat-detection systems while suppressing the prefrontal cortex responsible for discernment and reason. The result is widespread anxiet...

You Warm Up for Sports -- but Not Life?

Dr. Fred Clary"s Podcast ·

2026/01/21

Just as an athlete would never step into competition without warming up, we routinely step into life’s most demanding moments unprepared—relationships, work, school, and daily responsibilities—expecting clarity, patience, and high performance from a nervous system that is still “cold.” A true warm-up is not just physical; it is neurologic, physiologic, biologic, psychological, and spiritual. When we skip this preparation, the brain defaults to reactivity rather than regulation, allowing stre...

Ancestral Echoes: The Transmission of Collective Trauma

2026/01/15

Ancestral Echoes: The Transmission of Collective Trauma explores how trauma is not only a personal experience but a biological, neurological, and emotional legacy that can be passed through families and communities. Drawing on neuroscience and epigenetics, the episode explains how unprocessed trauma alters stress responses, emotional regulation, and nervous system patterns—often appearing generations later as anxiety, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, or unexplained fear. It also addresses ...

Escaping the Victim Mentality: Responsibility Without...

Dr. Fred Clary"s Podcast ·

2026/01/11

Escaping a victim mentality does not mean denying hardship, injustice, or personal pain. From both a life-coaching and neurological perspective, victim mentality is often a survival strategy—one the brain adopts after repeated stress, trauma, or failure in order to conserve energy and avoid further harm. Over time, however, this protective mindset can turn into paralysis, shrinking motivation, narrowing future vision, and reinforcing beliefs that effort is pointless. The brain’s threat system...

Dr. Fred Clary"s Podcast ·

2026/01/08

This podcast reframes bad habits and character flaws as “unwanted house guests” living rent-free in the brain. Drawing from life coaching and neuroscience, it explains that habits are not moral failures but learned neural pathways formed through repetition, stress, and survival patterns. Because the brain is plastic, not fixed, these habits can be changed—not by force or shame, but through calm, strategic eviction. Understanding how the brain seeks efficiency, comfort, and familiarity allows ...

Your Brain on January 1st: Why We Feel So Hopeful...

Dr. Fred Clary"s Podcast ·

2025/12/31

On January 1st, the brain enters a uniquely hopeful neurological state driven primarily by dopamine—the neurotransmitter of anticipation, not pleasure. Novelty, symbolic separation from past failures, and the absence of immediate effort create a powerful reward-prediction signal. Planning and imagining change activate the same neural circuits involved in pursuit, making optimism feel vivid and convincing. This “fresh start” effect temporarily quiets self-criticism and gives the illusion of a ...

Dr. Fred Clary"s Podcast ·

2025/12/18

This episode explains why a war thousands of miles away still affects our bodies, minds, and daily functioning. From a chiropractic perspective, the nervous system does not recognize geography—only threat and instability—so ongoing exposure to global conflict increases stress hormones, muscle tension, shallow breathing, poor posture, fatigue, and sleep disturbances. Attempts at indifference often lead not to calm, but to emotional numbing, which can manifest as chronic pain, low energy, and l...

During the holidays, true balance comes from supporting the whole person—body, mind, and emotions—rather than pushing through stress. From my perspective as a chiropractor and life coach, physical energy is protected by good posture, gentle movement, breathing, and stable nutrition; mental energy is preserved by simplifying schedules, limiting distractions, and practicing presence; and emotional energy is maintained through self-awareness, healthy boundaries, and thoughtful responses instead ...

The Historical Thanksgiving

2025/11/29

The real historical Thanksgiving of 1621 was not a sentimental harvest festival but a fragile moment of diplomacy between two peoples facing fear, loss, and uncertainty. After a devastating winter that claimed half the Pilgrims’ community, and following an epidemic that had wiped out much of the Wampanoag population, both groups found themselves in desperate need of allies. When the Pilgrims fired celebratory guns during their successful harvest, Massasoit and ninety Wampanoag men arrived pre...

The Science of Gratitude

2025/11/19

Gratitude is far more than a pleasant feeling—it is a measurable biological and neurological tool that improves overall health. Research shows that when we practice gratitude, key brain regions such as the prefrontal cortex and the reward centers become more active, boosting dopamine, serotonin, and emotional regulation. Gratitude also lowers stress hormones like cortisol, improves heart rate variability, activates the calming parasympathetic nervous system, and reduces inflammation. These ...

When Life Feels Out of Control When everything around you seems chaotic, the first step is to pause and breathe. In moments of turmoil, the mind often magnifies problems, making them appear larger than they are. By slowing down, you give yourself the space to regain perspective. Focus on what is within your control — your thoughts, reactions, and daily actions. Write down the top three things you can realistically manage today, and let go of what is beyond your reach.

Keeping your mind sharp as you age involves nurturing both your body and brain through consistent, healthy habits. Regular physical exercise increases blood flow to the brain, supporting memory and cognitive function. A balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, leafy greens, berries, and whole grains provides the nutrients necessary for brain health. Staying mentally active—by reading, learning new skills, playing challenging games, or even learning a new word each week—stimulates neural pat...
