Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert, author and dynamic speaker turns his attention to the role the brain plays in physical, mental and emotional health and wellbeing.

ROCKVILLE, MD. December 07, 2021: Dr. John Rosa, dynamic speaker, national opioid crises expert, and co-author of The Recipe for Success with Jack Canfield, posted a new article on his website entitled “Taking Care Of Your Body Requires Taking Care Of Your Brain,” in which he explores the field of metacognition.

“How often do you actually think about the brain inside your skull on a day-to-day basis?” Dr. Rosa asks, and gives his own answer, saying, “I would wager not often if at all, unless or until something goes wrong.” He continues, “It’s truly amazing how we humans tend to totally forget about how astonishing the brain inside our skulls is. The brain is the most extraordinary organ in creation. We still know so little about it, but we are making progress, thanks in large part to the study of metacognition.”

“As we move into a new phase of actually thinking about thinking,” Dr. Rosa writes, “and thinking and wondering about the brain and the mind, wondering if they are the same and, if not, how are they related, we are beginning to discover more and more about this fascinating part of our human anatomy and consciousness.”

As Dr. Rosa explains, “My work with drug-free and surgery-free pain relief and addictive behavior points directly to the role the brain plays in both pain and addiction. The increasing popularity of alternative pain-relief methods including chiropractic, meditation, yoga and more, are helping us understand the nature of compulsive behaviors, attention issues as well as emotional problems.” He continues adding, “Scientists have shown that one of the side effects of our modern technology is that “apps, games, social media and online content can hijack the learning pathways of the human brain.” He shares information from an article which state sthat, “The pandemic has poured gasoline on this crisis. It has forced many people into social isolation and contributed to an even greater reliance on devices for social interaction and entertainment.” https://neurosciencenews.com/metacognition-mental-health-19649/

According to Dr. Rosa, “Just as one aspect of human health depends on mastering our physical systems, it is my belief that achieving even greater health depends on understanding and controlling our own psychological states. There are so many evidence-based actions we can take to design a personalized toolkit of mental habits and strategies. Doing so will allow us to be more deliberate with our thoughts.
