106. Interoception – How listening to your body is anything but woo-woo

'Listening to your body' or 'checking in' are concepts most people have surely heard and probably scoffed at. Yet, after over 100 hours of podcasting on this very subject, it's perhaps the most central piece of advice for taking care of your body that we've landed on. But how does it work? New research on interoception reveals another part of the nervous system, the part that senses what is going on inside the body and which can also be trained. Our ability to feel is much greater than we previously thought, but we tend to learn NOT to check in and listen to our bodies. Participants in this episode are Axel Bohlin, Hans Bohlin, and Camilla Ranje Nordin.
