For today’s brand new episode, I’m pleased to welcome back the wonderful Dr Tara Swart. Tara is a neuroscientist, a former medical doctor & psychiatrist, a lecturer at MIT, an executive coach and author of the bestselling book, The Source. She also hosts the podcast Reinvent Yourself with Dr Tara.
If you’ve listened to my two previous episodes with Tara, you’ll remember her unique talent for using neuroscience and behavioural psychology to probe ideas, theories, and practices that many believe work, but we’re not sure why.
This insightful and often unusual episode takes a deep and meaningful look at stress - what exactly it is, what impact it has on health and how it predisposes us to storing fat. We also discuss the most effective ways to manage stress, the best ways to build resilience and the benefits of practices like journalling.
We really do cover a whole variety of different topics today including metacognition, the definition of spirituality, what exactly intuition and interoception are, and how we can use them to get to know our minds and bodies more intimately. We talk about rituals, the incredible power of creativity, beauty, and time spent in nature. And finally, we ask some big questions around the topic of death and consciousness, which Tara is increasingly drawn to studying.
If you’re someone who’s interested in alternative thinking and new ideas, but likes the reassurance of scientific backing, Tara’s warmth and wisdom will tick all your boxes. If you’re a sceptic - well, this conversation might just open your mind.

Dr Tara has the most beautiful energy and her voice is hypnotic. I could listen to this all day.
You know how Dr. Chatterjee's 3M morning is "mindfulness, mindset and MOVEMENT"? I like the word MOVEMENT instead of exercise. I think that is what has gotten me moving in the morning. IT's that I'm MOVING not EXERCISING. It's such a mind trick, - eventually I might "exercise" but for now just 'moving" is enough 💪

Great video. After about 15+ years of it and everything that comes with it; the endless drama, problems, chaos, health issues... I went cold turkey almost 7 years ago one day. Let me tell you. One the BEST things I've ever done for myself in my life. Everything improved. My health, my career, my relationships, my finances, my friends... Once you stop, take a step back and realize how much time, energy and money it was sucking out of you, you never wanna go back ever again. It is hard, at least at the beginning. Because, all the difficult emotions that you were pushing away with alcohol slowly start to come back, AND you lose all your dead-end, so-called "friends" aka glorified drinking buddies who never really cared about you. So it's emotional and lonely at first, but that's the price we pay for our health. And this means that you get a brand new chance to re-create your life and your own conscious community. You can do it!
Yes anyone can stop drinking alcohol. There are so many impacts on health that come from drinking 'strong drink'. With habitual use of alcohol anyone can become so addicted that they could die if they go 'cold turkey' the delusions caused by malnutrition and abnormal chemistry caused by some drugs such as alcohol. It takes time and careful mentoring to raise anyone from the depths of such disappointing and sometimes overwhelming experiences. There is hope. There is a place and time for gentle exercise. . . Education and communication is key to any successful relationship. Sometimes it helps to talk about it. Sometimes it's just too overwhelming to communicate. Nature naturally heals. There is an organized chaos in nature. Chaotic brainwaves are healthy, and patterns in the brainwaves are often the shadows of damage being done to the structures of the complexity of the brain none of us fully understand how it all works. The more we learn how DNA can repair itself. Don't work yourself to death and or disability as some have. And don't allow others to. . .
Amazing. Congratulations. Always makes me happy to hear positive stories like yours. Thank you for sharing. I dont drink alcohol never did, the smell of it makes me nauseous due to trauma from watching my dad behave badly towards my mom when he was drunk. Very scary as a child to witness and being frightened by his behavior. He was verbally and emotionally abusive, threatened suicide at times. My dad passed in late 2019. He did the best he could with what he knew at the time. And when not drunk from drinking at gathering he was hardworking, calm and creative.
Hear, hear
Sounds like my story w/Dad! He died if Serosis of the Liver and had terrible back pain!! His Mother died shortly after his birth, his 3 other older brother s raised him! He didn’t have a chance in Hell & as much as I hated him I’ve come to love him compassionately for what he taught me‼️ Don’t Drink hard Liquor !! I have 2 sisters who are alcoholics ! So SAD🙏🏻🙏🏻💚🙏🏻 total dysfunctional lives we’ve lived through! Happy & grateful to be Alive 💚🙏🏻💚💙✝️❌⭕️
I would love to chat with you ❤️
Her listening skills are incredible. I learned a lot watching her. She’s very interested in what you say and she responds with quiet sounds which show she’s responding to every word you say. Amazing woman.
Try following her on her own podcast. She and her guests are very interesting
Yes , indeed!
❤
Definitely a great listener. I would love to talk to her
@@suzanmccullough3513 Hey what is her channel? cannot find it anywhere in youtube by her name
.... i feel less stressed just listening to them talking about stress in a calm & reflective way.
Quite a few years ago I worked as a cook for an archaeological project in the south west desert in the US. We had about 90 people living in the desert. I was responsible for cooking two meals a day five days a week. It was the best job I’ve ever had and I looked forward to every day for the 9 weeks of the project. Over 10 years of working with the project I had seen a variety of cooks. None of them were bad cooks but their personalities ranged from mean and vindictive to just going through the motions for the paycheck. The personalities seemed to ripple through the camp, so when I took on the job I decided to put all of my energies into doing a good job and letting the people I cooked for know that I cared for them as if they were my family. The result was a camp that worked better than it had under any of the other cooks. People seemed to have better attitudes even when having to deal with the challenges that came up every day.

Wow ❤ how did you do that!
@@denisemc607 I run a SEO agency. i run a code on this video to pick up the most demanded answers which people are actually searching answers to online i hope you like it ...
Uau ❤❤thanks for your patience to do that. Very helpful to read.
So very helpful. Thank you ever so much.
Thank you so much for writing all this down; it's very helpful!
I love how Dr Tara mentioned that it’s not enough to meditate for 15 mins a day, if we are then mindless for the rest of it. Therefore it’s much more helpful to practice mindfulness during the every day tasks ❤
Yes I agree mindfulness needs to be a constant mindset. Here's a song I wrote about gratitude, called The Sea of Gratitude, I hope you enjoy it and find it and find it uplifting. ruclips.net/video/DZ0sxTH4MRM/видео.htmlsi=Ff8-Q_AaDUgKeI70
Sorry for my my ramblings here but it also just occurred to me that when we wake with a negative attitude it could simply be the subconscious mind's way of slowing us down and reflecting upon our behaviours and attitudes, unless we're already proficient.
If we are in a good mood all the time there isn't much reason to reflect.
I love quiet mornings. 🥰
Isn’t she amazing? So intelligent yet she delivers her message in an easy to understand way. Thank you 🙏 You have helped me greatly ❤️
1/21/24 is when I watched this video. My mom passed away 1/11/24. She was diagnosed with Parkinson's when she was 70 and died at 84. Starting at 75 years old, she aged 3-5 years within one year. I was her main caretaker. I work full time and was married with two kids. I relate to everything you are going through. I too would stay longer then planned. After 2020 she no long was the same person. She still could recall most things but I had to keep the conversation light to keep har anxiety at bay. It was draining to visit her because while I was with her I missed her so much. You're not alone.
I’ve been living with crazy high stresses for most of my life (ADHD and Aspergers, undiagnosed) and still I always been physically okay, no hart problems or anything else. Mentally it has been, to put it mildly, chaotic, still no hart problems. When I turned 50 I crashed and got diagnosed with chronic fatigue, started therapy to learn how to cope. That therapist noticed some behaviour’s on my part and referred me to another specialist who diagnosed me with both ADHD and Aspergers and sent me to a wonderfully skilled therapist who taught me how and what it is and how and what to do. Still stressed but way cooler to day and besides a bit of hypertension I’m still physically strong, actually, Im in better shape now then I was 15-years ago, walking, cycling and som weightlifting gives for a strong and hard body that keeps you alive.
Two of my fave podcasters: doctors, intellectuals and all around lovely, good hearted people. Listening again to jot down some nuggets ❤❤❤
Totally agree, intellectually inspiring to listen too however I feel their spirituality deeply, I felt blessed for the 2hr podcast.
Straight therapy!
Why are people from Indian cultures so emotionally intelligent...what did your parents do right? Love you both.
Very strong family values. At least that is what I get from my Indian friends.
Must be the curry
It's weird, I know I'm eating horrible and procrastinating things that come back and slam into my face creating extra stress. I'm trying to survive. My parents have 6 kids, all grown ups, oldest is 35. One of the main reasons none of us have kids or is married is because we don't want to multiply the toxic genes in this family. Explains how misrable our childhood was and how hard we are struggeling in adult life. Please don't have kids if it will be your goal to remind them daily that they are unwanted and a burden. Please don't have kids if you have issues with substance abuse. Please don't have kids if the only parenting you are capable off is beating your anger out on them leaving them wondering what it was they did wrong.
Thank you Dr Chatterjee ! I would like to add that sometimes it’s PEOPLE who can make you stressed our depressed. We always think of the job but trust me when you’re with someone always negative it can be hard ! One person can make a home look like hell. Sometimes these demons kill their wife and children.
It was news to me a few years ago that stress played a part in my pre-diabetic, overweight state. I'm a teacher. I previously thought it was solely what I was eating. It changed my mind completely. I've retired from the teaching profession and am firm about boundaries with work.
This is just excuse to not work... why poor people are so healthy and happy even after having to work the most stressful jobs for minimum wage?
Science is a method, not a set of facts. Such a relief to hear this coming from medical professionals.
I witnessed the shift in medicine from a time we learned to observe and listen to the patients to a time of arrogant scientific certitude of "good medical practice & evidence based medicine". We got a list of examinations to plan and then a list of medications or treatments for the disease we diagnosed. The hospital became a factory with more administrators than people for the patient on the beds. A sad derailment of a beautiful profession.
LOVED this 🤩
Especially the bit about communication through touch and a deeper level of consciousness.
When my aunty had dementia, on her worst days she didn’t recognise family & struggled to trust people - didn’t want to take medication, thought people were going to hurt her etc - so would become angry, defensive & tense, but when me or my sister went to her, she immediately softened. She knew us even if she didn’t remember us. Knew we were safe. Knew she could trust us. There was a connection, an energy, a bond between us. I just thought of it as love but maybe as Dr Tara says, it was something else. A consciousness ❤
I think this has to be one of of the most wonderful conversations i have been able to watch. The last 15 minutes are golden and touch upon the topics i am SO interested in. The series 'surviving death' was amazing and i am delighted that Dr Tara is exploring this avenue which is so incredibly comforting and fascinating!
This podcast was worth every minute! Sometimes it got so emotionally engaging that rather just listening to it I had to actually look at the video while both were speaking about emotions and human connections.
The segment where Dr. Rangan starts talking about his mother really hits home.
Thanks for doing this podcast! :)
Caring for Mom and Dad and teen and house and job-I was definitely a different person. Still returning to self. It may take a while.
What a brilliant interview. Two beautifully genuine people who are trying to make the world a better place 💚
It is quite strange how we can connect in a very deep way . My son and I visit my husband who has a severe brain injury , he can't speak or comprehend but there is a deep knowing and understanding that is unfathomable , spiritual and at peace . There is so much that is picked up by people that you love and connect with consciousness .
Both of you are great together. I just hate those commercials. They break your conversations which are so great. Good to hear that you are willing to search for more wisdom and experiences. I have found that the doctors I’ve seen are so time conscious and without much concern for that individual patient. It’s just an In-N-Out visit. Thank you for the podcast.
Dr Swart is right. We have forgotten a lot of things coming to this life.
Dr. Rangan…you are an amazing communicator. Thinking of you and your Mom. Blessings to you and your family 🙏🏼
What they are describing for me is fear and anxiety. Intuition you feel calm confident relaxed to do that decisions without hesitation or doubt.
Between 1h 30 minutes to 1h 35 minutes there were absolutely glorious 5 minutes - I hope science follows your example, Dr Tara. It's time to really help humans help themselves. The great fake must end ✨
What a wonderful interview. Two beautiful, intelligent people talking about something that could make the world a better place for everyone. If there were only more people in the world like you two who were in charge of everything ( instead of power hungry narcissists) what a better and more peaceful world we would have and how much happier people would be. We might even get around to solving problems like world hunger instead of putting money into ongoing senseless war.
Oh, she’s smart! Love that she is using her gifts for good beyond limits of Western medicine.
What stresses me out is the amount of adverts you put on your videos. My nervous system gets jolted every time.
Its a shame, its a deal breaker for me. I love both these people but those ads, right smack in the middle of a critical part of the conversation, it really triggers me.
Briljant,briljant,briljant. The best interview I have heard in 10 years on RUclips‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Thank you Dr Rangan for serving that compliment to Dr Tara at end of podcast,I appreciate you both.
Love this conversation so much!!
Dr Tara is Amazing!!!
Bring her back soon again please, I learn so much ❤ thank you!
OMG !!!
I start watching this interview when I saw the title about stress and body fat
To the point at 1:44 min when Dr Chatterjee start talking about his experience with his mother , this is when my heart sank
I am going through the same experience ( I am not a doctor) my mom is unconscious since March 2023, totally dependent even in the regular body function
I walked in here room one night and she start calling me ( she does not know even how to ask for food or water) she started praying for me , more stranger was she started calling my name the day I bought a ticket to go visit here without telling any one
And to answer Dr Tara question about communication without words , the answer is YES
I live in Canada, she is n Egypt, I talk to her in my mind every morning and could feel her answers
More interesting, she was with one of my sisters who happened to be a doctor and she was very irritated with mom condition , my mom was in delirium condition all the time and when we moved her to another sister’s house she became very calm and quiet
I can go n and on as my heart is still pounding with what I just heard
This was great. One of the best conversations I’ve heard on a podcast. So many gems. Thank you so much both of you!
Very interesting conversation. Tara is easy to listen to & I like that she doesn’t waffle on, just speaks in a way people can relate to. Thanks guys
I love this dynamic between the two of you. This topic and discussion is giving me hope with my practice as a psychiatric provider. I've been struggling since being a COVID nurse to now treating people with mental health concerns, along with a huge personal change that occurred in my life. I appreciate the open mindedness of the exploration of the limitless realm of science and consciousness
Brilliant discussion! A ton of lessons to learn and apply! Brilliant people! Thank you!
I lost a friend last month to heart attack. She was very slim and in her mid thirties.
She had been working in a stressful job💔
Oh Rangan, my heart goes out to you ❤ Tara, some new gems in here for me today I’m a huge fan, and I love the slant your friendship gave to this conversation 👏🏻
This is 2 hours of worthy watching. I learned so much and confirmed some things that I wasn’t sure about. The knowledge and wisdom between the two of you blends together so effortlessly. This video will help shape the rest of my life.
What an outstanding conversation on so many levels…. I am just amazed here. I want to come back to this like once a month or so. Thank you.
Your readings are truly comprehensive, thank you for your readings and interpretations. I look forward each month to hearing you😊
Love you two! This was a fab little conversation. Thank you! 😊💖
There was some truly beautiful moments in this. The part about Rangan’s mum really resonated with me as a music therapist, where connection and communication all happens through the musical relationship. I’d love it if you had a music therapist on one day!
Absolutely wonderful interview and great explanations. Thankyou
I learned last year, that making my New Years resolution about serving others...made me WANT to be more accountable. It is one thing to let myself down, but pathological people pleasers don't enjoy letting others down!
Really love this interview the best so far..
I wrote a piece for my local news paper in 2000 called Stress is no longer a meaningless cliche and got laughed at. But we have moved forwards so so good..So happy!
Oh sooo good. Love Dr Tara Swart. Talking to myself 7years older, I can't wait to give it a go. God bless. Great ideas... Keep them coming... ❤
This was a lovely dicussion. Definitely will have to re-listen, as it was so packed with wonderful bits.
What a wonderful conversation, could of listened to the two of you for another 2 hours! Loved 🙌
I just have to ask, who got more time in nature during the pandemic? Our beaches were closed down. Our national parks were closed down, and we were told not to go out, unless we needed to. Stress and anxiety went up massively during the pandemic, NOT DOWN!
I’m a slim active 61 female …after going though some major trauma (very stressful over a period of time) I had 2 x Takotsubo heart events or attacks.
Hello Daphna! Just discovered your channel. So happy for your big move. I’m 53 and planning to live overseas at least part time and like you I am solo living with amazing family and friends plus meaningful work. I visited Portugal and Spain recently and prefer Spain so I’ll return to explore further. So inspired by your journey.
I feel strongly obligated to share that journaling DOES NOT work for EVERYONE.
In my particular case, journaling made everything awful more firmly cemented in my psyche. It caused me to ruminate on things even more, no matter how I mentally framed the act of journaling. Gratitude journaling sucked all of the good feeling out of what I’d written down. Journaling eventually became a burdensome chore and doing it felt like torture and spiked my stress levels.
Of course, because I’ve had such a poor reaction to journaling, I’ve been ostracized and treated like I’m not a human.
I understand. Journaling can actually trigger anxiety. The greatest joy I experienced with journaling was seeing how far I could throw one.
The overall point: do what works for you.
@@bernadette573 😂 I burned a few journals and that helped me let go of feeling obligated to do the practice at least. 😂
Journaling is just a pain and along with gratitude affirmations.. just feels ridiculous
I love you for this comment. Journaling is pure crap and it doesn't work in any shape or form for many people. For me the best thing ever is Erich Fromm's meditation, you can find that easy technique in his book The Art of Loving, it's at the end of the book, you can probably find it online. The book itself is tiny, you will be able to read it in an hour ... it's written long before the internet but it is relatable to our time, like it's written more for us than for previous generations...❤
really liked this podcast,. The way you have navigated the interview, digging deeper into areas that sometimes many people don't the time to pause and reflect.
Best one yet! Tara Swart is a treasure. I'll be listening to this podcast again with my partner.
Great conversation, great knowledge and tools for life. I felt the emotion when you spoke about your mum. 🙏🏾that moment I became I a fan
Loved the whole conversation..... Thank you to both of you. Love from Mexico 🤩🤩
Discrete activities to "unwind" have limited value. Stress is endemic because we work more hours in sedentary occupations than is good for us. Those of us who are not sedentary at work may make less money. Most of us spend way too much on discretionary items. We buy and store unused and useless items. We marry and date. We take on pets. Don't. Declutter, unburden, and do things you like doing. And thst does not mean cigars and booze
More pets!
Great but I love cigars
Wonderful video…thank you. I live in an urban neighborhood. I have MANY plants and several aquariums and aquascaped bowls with various aquatic life in my home…especially in my bedroom…😊
❤❤ Thank you very much Dr Chatterjee and Dr Tara Swart! I deeply appreciate this conversation, giving many people such as myself, validation and explanations to things we couldn’t otherwise express openly. Given your expertise, extensive knowledge in the medical field and background, these types of in-depth, honest and courageous conversations are not only useful and helpful to live a quality life, they are a gateway to the expansion of our humanity in the course of evolution! I’ve followed you both for quite some time now and I sincerely value your contents so very much! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Intuition for me in my work as consultant in surgery was deep medical knowledge and long diverse experience. It is not difficult to get if you work hard all your life in a profession you love. Intuition in life depends on deep diverse knowledge and diverse life experience.
Intuition is to make decisions quickly and prove to be right. It is mental not visceral and bodily sensations. It is the brain which make decisions quickly unconsciously without too much prefrontal lobe control. You go for it. I know because I was very good in my intuition to make difficult medical decisions and were right but also very long experience in time, types and places.
no exercise and bad eating makes everyone you do 1000% more difficult, leading in an early death!
Beautiful people inside and out. Thank you for sharing yourselves, your views and your knowledge
I was taught in CBT about core values and it makes so much sense. It is good to recognise these because then you understand why things trigger you.
Beautiful conversation. Sorry to hear about your mom. It breaks my heart and reminds me to cherish my moms health while it lasts.
Thank you both. I found this podcast immensely informative and helpful ❤
It is true. My father died, but when the hurricane was coming to Galveston, Tx. two weeks before, he kept telling me to get my mother out of there. My mother kept saying no, you can die on the road because traffic is so bad that people are running out of gas.
She left the day before the storm hit. She had 7 feet of water inside her house. She would have drowned.
Whenever I'm in danger my farther always warns me..
Thank you so much for the most wonderful postcast, you have such lovely energy and are so openminded about science and spirituality in the most beautiful sense. Love it! Keep it up! ❤
At 13:44 Dr. Tara brushes back her hair & smiles (as she sweetly says "oh yeah" about his trip to Whales) OMGosh, I'm so in love!!!
I keep coming back to this video, and recommending it to friends & family; brilliant interview & invaluable information-THANK YOU to you both. 🌟🙏🏼
Amazing episode. Thank you very much 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you, Kino! I really enjoyed this practice!
Beautiful conversation that I can totally resonate with. Thank you 🙏
This is such an insightful and helpful podcast!! Both of you are amazing, knowledgeable people who change the lives of everyone you touch everyday!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!💯
Wow I love these pod casts I work in education it can be a pit of vipers working with other people who are stressed I have learnt so much from this lady and am going to put a lot of this into practice and am looking forward to putting this into practice my new mindset am so happy
Such a beautiful and enlightening conversation! Deep thanks! ❤
I appreciate your topic and your guest. She is bright and clear on her response. I am learning a lot from this interview. In my life, I did and continue to experience stress. This did take a toll in my nervous system. But, now I do practice meditation, and do exercise. I will add journaling. Thank you.
This podcast so informative and very interesting. I've listened to this twice so far. Dr. Swart's voice is so relaxing too.
Great talk. I could have listened all day.
I didn't fully buy into Julia Cameron in The Artist's Way when she advocates writing morning pages, where first thing after waking up you write 4 A4 pages of whatever is you head, it doesn't need to make sense. After Dr Tara's advice to talk or write it down all your troubles it all makes sense because both Julia Cameron and Dr Tara are advocating that stress hampers creativity, I shall be more engaged in my morning pages or journaling, thank you for this pod cast.
Thank you so much for sharing your vulnerabilities and knowledge. You both are amazing!
I am LOVING the direction she's going in! Keep going Dr. Swart! Thank you Dr. Rangan Chatterjee for this incredible and exciting conversation!
Absolutely AMAZING so glad I found this one 👌
Two comments:
1. I’m sick and tired of ‘health experts’ blandly assuming that everyone has family & friends to rely and offload on!!! NEVER do they take into account those people who are older whose family are all deceased (as are some friends!) or friends may have moved out of your locality. Apparently people like me don’t exist in these doctors’ eyes!!!
2. Best way to re-calibrate one’s intuition if you’ve been betrayed etc is to go somewhere you’ve never been before - and navigate your way around ON YOUR OWN. Arrive there with just a map and phone and find somewhere to eat, sleep, visit by using your feet, rail, bus, tram or whatever - by doing this you are learning to not only USE your intuition but also to TRUST it again. Trust me, it works.
Great conversation! Thanks a lot for your work!
I'm currently reading Dr Swart's book, and it is excellent x
Fabulous podcast. Lots of food for thought.
Rangan, your mam will just appreciate you being there with her. After nursing my mam through Alzheimer's and initially feeling I needed to 'Say' something. I often read a magazine to mam or showed her funny/relevant videos to her interests from RUclips etc I found that a conversation would start from there. However, I felt she was often happy to just hold my hand.
Self-esteem and safety, this is not a nexus I’ve heard explained….. I’d like to know more! Anyone got reference or readings on this? Without this long form conversational format I m sure we would never get so deep on these things. well done doctors ❤
Wow I’ve listened to this interview 2x…great points! Thanks
Such a great remark about science❤. I loved this podcast and will share it😊
Amazing! Such an abundance of wisdom ❤
I love what she said about moments of mindfulness: i used to practice meditation within a set time but now find it more helpful to practice mindfulness throughout the day.
Stress has definitely altered my personality, my body, my wit, surely even my IQ.
Your journal looks like a lovely idea...Thank you for this conversation. Very clear useful insights. Loved the stuff on "the shadow of our personality". Beautifully described..poignant reminders tempered with hope to solve lingering historic stress triggers
Listening to both of you this morning is such a gift . 🙏
I really enjoyed this. 😊 Thank you for your podcasts. I learn such a lot. 😊
What you said about your mood when you are cooking I haven’t consciously experienced myself but did I hear another podcaster who bakes regularly and she said she is a good baker, saying she baked a cake once when she was very angry and upset about something. She said the result was it tasted awful and they couldn’t eat it.
