Mayim Bialik: Life Is In Session

Calling all big-word fans, this one’s for you! A neuroscientist and actress from a little show you may have heard of…The Big Bang Theory’s Mayim Bialik joins the Lautners to discuss her journey with mental health, both in and out of the spotlight. She explains her thesis dissertation, which, (grab a dictionary), was: "Hypothalamic regulation in relation to maladaptive, obsessive-compulsive, affiliative and satiety behaviors in Prader–Willi syndrome". She then dives into her early career as a teen actor and her home life surrounded by mental illness and addiction. She and Taylor bond over being Enneagram 4s, before she highlights two key tools that have helped her mental health: identifying food triggers and somatic work. Lastly, the Lautners ask her for advice on continued success in the mental health podcast space, as she’s hosted her popular podcast, Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown, since 2021.  Be sure to follow Mayim @missmayim and listen to Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown where ever you get your podcasts: https://linktr.ee/BialikBreakdown  Thanks to our awesome sponsor for supporting this episode!   CeraVe: To learn more about nominating a nurse who has profoundly impacted your life, visit CeraVe.com/Nurses or DAISYfoundation.org!    To email us your questions or share your story, you can reach out to [email protected].
