The People's Scientist is a weekly podcast covering the latest scientific findings on Neuroscience, Physiology, and Nutrition. I, your host, Dr. Stephanie Caligiuri, hold a Bachelor and Master degree in Nutritional Science, a PhD in Physiology, and Fellowship in Behavioral Neuroscience. I am currently a Scientist (Research Fellow) at Mount Sinai Hospital in NYC. Every week, I will provide you scientific evidence on important topics pertaining to our brain, body, and nutrition. In the past I have covered intermittent fasting, CRISPR gene editing for cancer therapy, using our own neurobiology to create new habits and break old habits, nicotine and the risk for type 2 diabetes, apple cider vinegar, our diet and depression, bitter tastants as a way to modulate cravings, and far more. Become a part of The People's Scientist Army today by subscribing and becoming more knowledgeable every week.

The Neuroscience of Perseverance

In Episode 152, I was inspired by the song lyrics I danced to for this episode and chose to dive into the Neuroscience of Perseverance. Perseverance is distinct from resilience but the two are still very much interconnected. Resilience is an umbrella term, representing our ability to bounce back from adversity, our ability to adapt to change, and maintain a positive outlook. On the other hand, perseverance specifically refers to the act of persisting in the face of obstacles, staying focused on a goal, and maintaining effort over an extended period. I talk about the Science of Resilience back in episode 39 with the expert, Dennis Charney himself, so feel free to go back and give that one a listen if it interests you. In today's episode I share a quiz for us to assess our own level of persistence, I provide relatable examples, ways to improve our perseverance, and some neurobiology to help us understand what is going on in our brain when we persevere. Tune in for details!
