That “Lump in Your Throat” Might Not Be Anxiety: Dr. Juna discusses "Silent Acid Reflux: Prevention and Treatment" with renowned author and ENT specialist, Dr. Aviv

Episode 159

Thursday, May 21, 2026 • Duration 39:00

That “lump in your throat” might be a symptom of something more chronic.

In this episode of the MindBodySpace Podcast, Dr. Juna sits down with her own doctor, Dr. Jonathan Aviv—ENT physician, Columbia professor, clinical professor at Mount Sinai, and author of The Acid Watcher Diet.

We talk about silent reflux, acid influx, and a stomach enzyme called pepsin that may sit in the throat, mouth, nose, and sinuses—and then get reactivated by acidic foods and drinks.

This matters because reflux does not always feel like heartburn and chronic reflux can lead to problems benign and pre-cancerous.

Sometimes it feels like:

✔️ chronic cough
✔️ hoarseness
✔️ constant throat clearing
✔️ post-nasal drip
✔️ a lump in your throat
✔️ waking up at night feeling like you can’t breathe

Dr. Aviv also explains why some “healthy” flavored drinks, sparkling waters, sports drinks, vinegar, citrus, tomato sauce, and wine can be triggers for some people—and why the solution does not have to be a miserable, restrictive diet.

This is where tracking matters.

Changing your diet is not just willpower. It’s pattern recognition. The RELAX TO SOAR™ planner helps you track food, sleep, stress, exercise, routines, and how your body feels—so you can start seeing what actually helps you feel better.

Small changes. Real patterns. Less guessing.

Why Stress Makes Healthy Choices So Hard and How to Reset and Rewire Your Brain

Episode 158

Saturday, April 18, 2026 • Duration 27:54

You know what’s good for you. Better sleep. Less scrolling. More movement. Healthier food. More calm.

So why is it still so hard to choose it?

In this episode, Dr. Juna Bobby M.D., Ed.M, explains why this is not a laziness problem or a character flaw. It is a brain-under-stress problem. When your nervous system is overloaded, your brain defaults to old habits, quick rewards, and familiar coping patterns. That is why stress can make healthy choices feel harder, even when you know exactly what to do.

You will learn how the Relaxation Response helps calm the nervous system, interrupt stress-driven habit loops, and create the conditions for real behavior change. Dr. Juna also walks you through simple practices to help you reset and rewire your brain for better habits, more self-awareness, and greater resilience.

If you are a high-achieving parent, professional, or anyone trying to feel better without relying on more willpower, this episode will help you understand what your brain needs first.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

why stress makes healthy choices harder
how the brain defaults to quick fixes under pressure
what the Relaxation Response is
how stress affects habits, self-control, and behavior change
how to start rewiring the brain through small repeated practices
how to build healthier habits with less shame and more self-awareness

Dr. Juna is a mom, medical doctor, double board-certified in diagnostic radiology and lifestyle medicine, and a Harvard-trained educator. Juna has taught resilience and peak performance tools to students, professionals, performers, and families, and her goal is to help you understand your brain so you can work with it instead of against it.

Karen Barrett Seeing Creativity and Improv in the Brain

Episode 62

Sunday, December 20, 2020 • Duration 01:08:03

I met Dr. Karen Chan Barrett when she gave a fascinating talk as part of a special presentation called Music and the Mind with world renowned soprano, Renee Fleming, at The Juilliard School in NYC. This program is inspired by Ms. Fleming’s collaboration with the National Institutes of Health in association with National Endowment for the Arts, called the Sound Health initiative, and created for general audiences, the program explores the power of music in relation to our health and neuroscience.

This evening’s highlight was “ improvisation and the brain”. Dr. Karen Chan Barrett, Ph.D. representing Dr. Charles Limb's Music and Perception Lab at the University of California San Francisco discussed research on the neuroscience of musical creativity and improvisation. Dr. Barrett is also faculty at San Francisco Conservatory of Music, co-teaching a class on Music and the Brain with Dr. Indre Viskontas.

Dr. Barrett was adjunct faculty at the Peabody Institute of Music and Johns Hopkins University, where she taught seminars on music cognition. Dr. Barrett has a Ph.D. from Northwestern University in Music Theory and Cognition and is an accomplished pianist.

She tells us about the fascinating research on the impact that music and musical training has on our brain development, - hint, it’s not just about listening to classical music - she discusses how they gather data on creativity, even improv comedy, and the brain.

Karen also tells us the surprising reason she, a classically trained pianist, pivoted to become a neuroscientist and how her husband, a classically trained cellist, taught himself into a whole new career.

If you have kids taking music classes or kids who are interested in STEaM fields, get them to listen along with you. You may even get them to practice more and start the conversation about how all of these seemingly disparate fields connect!

That was Dr. Karen Chan Barrett, mom, neuroscientist, classical pianist, showing us that STEM is really STEAM and you can definitely excel at more than one thing in life, and yes, lifestyle matters!

Stress Management positive psychology and meditation are absolutely helpful for resilience and for long-term goals, however it is definitely not the standard treatment of choice in acute situations and it should always be used in conjunction with mental health professionals and clinicians, so the whole person can be properly supported.

Mark Krassner Founder of Expectful a Meditation App for Pregnancy and Beyond

Episode 59

Sunday, December 6, 2020 • Duration 33:51

"As my health, happiness, relationships, and professional life improved significantly, I recalled my mother’s struggles with anxiety and depression when she was raising me, and I wondered if meditation might be an especially great tool for new moms."

Mark Krassner is the founder and CEO of Expectful, the meditation app for fertility, pregnancy, and parenthood. Since its founding, Expectful has partnered with several universities to conduct research on the relationship between a mother’s mind and her baby’s health.

Mark talks to me about why he, a single young man, who doesn’t have kids of his own, became passionate about how meditation could benefit a mother and her unborn child. We discuss how he came to his own meditation practice in his 20’s and how it pivoted his career from an entrepreneur into a social entrepreneur.

Mark dug into research papers and found the harmful effects of maternal anxiety and depression on the baby. He also found evidence that meditation could help with fertility, pregnancy, and maternal health. Mark wanted to transform the lives of parents and the next generation so he put together a team and created meditations.
