A Free Tool To Promote Health And Wellbeing | This episode is brought to you by Paleovalley
Research has shown that journaling practices can have a range of health benefits including reduction of inflammation, promotion of mental wellbeing, and even improved ventricular function. Whether it be through a focus on gratitude or expressive writing, journaling allows you to have an uninhibited discussion with yourself, oftentimes leading to an “aha” moment that was hiding under the surface all along. In this mini-episode, Dr. Hyman speaks with Dr. Leonard Calabrese, Dr. Andrea Pennington, Matthew McConaughey, and Dr. Rangan Chatterjee about the psychological and mental benefits that various types of journaling can have on our overall health and wellbeing.
Dr. Leonard Calabrese is a Professor of Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University and Vice Chair of the Department of Rheumatic and Immunologic Diseases. Dr. Calabrese is also the director of the RJ Fasenmyer Center for Clinical Immunology at Cleveland Clinic and holds joint appointments in the Department of Infectious Diseases and the Wellness Institute. Dr. Calabrese has made significant contributions to science in the fields of chronic viral infections and autoimmunity and vascular inflammatory diseases of the brain.
Dr. Andrea Pennington is an integrative physician, acupuncturist, meditation teacher, and #1 international bestselling author. She received her Doctor of Medicine from Washington University School of Medicine, trained at Georgetown University Hospital, and received certification in Age Management Medicine with the Cenegenics Medical Institute. Her extensive study of medical nutrition, positive psychology, and neuroscience-inspired biohacking led her to create a holistic media platform, In8Vitality, to teach people how to blend ancient wisdom and modern science for enhanced vitality and life mastery. In Andrea’s latest book, The Real Self Love Handbook, she explores her personal journey from depression to real self-love and how The Cornerstone Process, a 5-step self-discovery framework, is setting people free from the drama of past trauma.
Academy Award–winning actor Matthew McConaughey is a husband, father of three children, and a loyal son and brother.

In 2019, McConaughey became a professor of practice at the University of Texas at Austin, as well as Minister of Culture/M.O.C. for the University of Texas and the City of Austin.
