EPISODE 72
Fight or Flight, Fear, and Muscle Memory, with NeuroScientist Dr. Vivian
Vivian has a PhD in neuroscience and explains the realities of a sympathetic nervous response.

Mike and Vivian discuss muscle memory, building good habits, perceptual distortions, and ways to enhance our performance under stress.
