Warm-Up Day 3 - Listening Challenge

Listen and answer the questions below: 1. What's the study about? 2. How was the study organized? 3. What's one interesting point about the milkshakes?

And I am gonna talk about one of my favorite [blank_start]studies[blank_end], about the power of [blank_start]beliefs[blank_end] and the role that that plays in our physiology within our [blank_start]bodies[blank_end]; and the milkshake study was done by Alia Crum and one of the most [blank_start]fascinating[blank_end] studies, so here is the deal. You had two groups, ok? One group was told that they were getting an [blank_start]indulgent[blank_end] shake [blank_start]full of[blank_end] sugar and chocolate, and probably kind of [blank_start]high[blank_end] in fat and all that stuff. The other group were told they were getting a [blank_start]healthy[blank_end] milkshake, ok? High [blank_start]fiber[blank_end], no sugar, not as many [blank_start]calories[blank_end]. They were the [blank_start]exact[blank_end] same shake.

Listen to the audio file. Is this true? The people who thought they were getting the healthy milkshake had a physiological reaction.

Listen and Answer the questions 1. What is the gut peptide ghrelin? 2. What happens to the brain when the gut peptide ghrelin increases? 3. What happened to the people who drank the indulgent milkshake?

Listen and answer the questions 1. What did the study on forgiveness show? 2. What do behavioral health professionals do?

What are the other [blank_start]things[blank_end] that we need to be [blank_start]thinking[blank_end] about that where [blank_start]belief[blank_end] affects our physiology, well, I [blank_start]presented[blank_end], be sure to watch the study on [blank_start]forgiveness[blank_end] and health and how, when we [blank_start]remember[blank_end] a time that we forgave it actually improved jumping height, ok? The exact mechanisms may not be known, but just [blank_start]understanding[blank_end] the power of our thoughts is gonna be critical, and this is what behavioral [blank_start]health[blank_end] professionals do, help people start to really objectively look at their [blank_start]thoughts[blank_end], restructure them, you know, according to cognitive behavioral [blank_start]therapy[blank_end].
