About this episode

For the month of Ramadan I decided to stay on theme and cover solo topics that are geared towards life and mindful practices, and this week’s episode is all about the science of gratitude!


We’ve always been told to be grateful for the little and big things in life. Also, religion and other spiritual practices have emphasized the importance of maintaining a gratitude regime in our life. But why? …

For the longest time, people assumed that the effects of gratitude are psychological only, not until recently did evidence emerge suggesting that gratitude has a powerful physiological impact on our bodies as well. In this episode I discuss some of the main psychological and biochemical impacts that gratitude has on our bodies and health.
