The Science of Manifestation - How to Use Neuroplasticity and Universal Laws to Create the Life You Want - with Dr Tara Swart

Dr Swart discusses the female brain and the unique challenges faced each day, as well as how we can optimise for a healthy brain, manage longevity and using manifestation for your best life.

Key Takeaways

Men’s brains are also affected by the arrival of babies. Their oxytocin levels increase due to bonding, and testosterone levels decrease simultaneously, and even more so if the baby sleeps in the bedroom alongside the parents.
Your brain can grow and change at any age, any stage and any mindset. This scientific truth is neuroplasticity, and is the foundational element behind manifestation.
Women are proven to get more dementia than men, and while it is hard to prove why, schools of thought believe that it may be due to the diminishing sleep levels that occur during child-rearing.
Negative impacts from the perimenopause period in life can occur, but they aren’t necessarily a prerequisite. We should not assume that the effects are mandatory and must never tell ourselves that we can expect negative degradation when it arrives. It’s not always the case.

Best Moments

‘The science that underlies manifestation is neuroplasticity’

‘Women do get dementia more than men’

‘Breaking everything down into bite-sized chunks is a very important part of building in micro-habits that make your brain work better’

‘Positive expectancy is definitely the thing. It also helps to build resilience’
