Description: Alyson Stoner (Step Up, Cheaper by the Dozen, multi-disciplinary artist, Co-Founder of Movement Genius, author of Mind Body Pride: The 7-Step Guide to Deeper Inner Connection) joins us to discuss the role physical movement plays in the promotion of mental and emotional health. She details her childhood in the entertainment industry, growing up around abuse and addiction, and how focusing on the mind-body connection serves as a grounding tool for those stressors. Alyson opens up about her experiences with using disordered eating as a coping mechanism, being disowned by her faith community for her sexuality, and her alexithymia diagnosis. She considers the therapeutic benefits she receives from dance, physical symptoms of being disconnected from one’s body, and the importance of implementing full-body awareness into therapy. Mayim breaks down the process of training the brain to achieve certain psychological and emotional responses in another installment of Ask Mayim Anything. -- Ask Mayim Anything: bialikbreakdown.com​​ Listen on Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/6TgOe2poCdpZtQwKetQmU1 Listen on Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mayim-bialiks-breakdown/id1546456269 Sign up for Mayim Bialik's Breakdown Newsletter: bialikbreakdown.com​​ Find Mayim Bialik: facebook.com/MissMayim​​​ twitter.com/MissMayim​​​ instagram.com/MissMayim​​​ Find Alyson Stoner: Twitter: @AlysonStoner Instagram: @AlysonStoner FREE 30 DAYS OF ACCESS + ALYSON'S BOOK "MIND BODY MOVEMENT": movementgenius.com/offers/75a6D9pa Theme Song Written, Produced, and Performed by Ed Robertson.
