Lisa Nezneski: Meditation, Shamanism & Pets for Healing Stress | Episode 126 Artwork

Brain Shaman

Brain Shaman is a philosophical and scientific journey towards better brain health. Michael Waite discusses how you can change your brain state and overall nervous system via behavior, nutrition, nature, and technology. Mental illness, addiction, and low brain function are destroying so many people and societies. By becoming increasingly disconnected from our natural mind-body-world and plugged into the artificial ones, we are getting sicker, weaker, and less free. We must become more conscious of how the information that we consume (in the form of action, food, drugs, sensory input, media, etc.) affects our brain. This podcast teaches you how to reconnect with your primordial nature, reprogram your brain, regain your freedom, and redirect your life.

Lisa Nezneski is a pharmacist, certified mindfulness teacher, shamanic healer, and author of Grounded in Chaos. She used meditation, grounding, visualization, and energy work to navigate a period of intense stress and loss—and now helps others do the same.

In this episode, we discuss how shamanic healing works, how mindfulness and visualization support emotional well-being, and how we can use and learn from pets during hard times. Lisa shares her personal story of transformation and the tools that continue to help her stay present, connected, and calm.
