In this episode, Saranne discusses the often-overlooked importance of silence in our daily lives, drawing from her personal experiences with sound sensitivity due to chemotherapy. She shares intriguing research on how silence can benefit our brains, reducing stress and associated health risks like cancer. Saranne highlights the stimulating effect of sound on our fight or flight response, increasing stress hormone levels like cortisol, and brings attention to an insightful study from Duke University, which suggests that silence can foster the growth of new brain cells and enhance our thinking abilities. The episode also highlights ways individuals can incorporate silence into their daily routines.
In 1999, Saranne launched The ComedyCures Foundation from her chemo chair with a "Chemo Comedy Party." Now cancer-free, she's dedicated her life to helping others find strength, courage, and laughter in their fight against cancer. As a healthcare thought leader, speaker, patient advocate, and health and happiness expert, Saranne's work has garnered recognition and support from prestigious organizations like the NIH/NCI, the United Nations, the World Health Organization, and numerous universities and cancer societies. Saranne's transformative strategies, research findings, fun, practical tips, and comic insights can be found in the "Beating Cancer Daily" podcast and the BCD Membership Circle, where she helps listeners navigate their treatment and survivorship with humor and resilience.
