Ever notice how your mindset each morning sets the tone for your entire day? Or how stress can either propel you towards success or drag you into a spiral of anxiety? In this episode of "Everyday Epigenetics: Raw. Real. Relatable.", Susan sits down with Craig Meriwether, a certified clinical hypnotherapist who journeyed from deep depression to a beacon of healing and positivity. Craig dives into the fascinating workings of the brain's reticular activating system and reveals powerful, practical techniques to reset and refocus our mind and body.

Craig doesn't just theorize; he walks the talk, sharing deeply personal stories and transformative exercises that can flood your brain with positive neural peptides like oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine. Whether it's hacking your nervous system to improve sleep quality, preparing for high-pressure situations with mental rehearsal, or conquering test anxiety through hypnotherapy, Craig offers insights that are both compelling and actionable.
