Mind-Body Mondays

What would it feel like to heal yourself instead of waiting to be fixed? Welcome to Mind-Body Mondays, a podcast on mind-body medicine, somatic healing, nervous system regulation, the gut-brain connection, and integrative nutrition.

Host Peter Sanchez spent over a decade as a biomedical research scientist, including years at the Stanford University School of Medicine. After a health crisis forced him to turn his training on himself, he's now a graduate student studying the mind-body connection, chronic conditions, and how the body heals naturally. Each episode shares real-time research, gut-brain axis experiments, and holistic tools you can actually use.

Topics include gut health, IBS, SIBO, SIFO, chronic stress, neuroplastic symptoms, nervous system desensitization, and vagus nerve dysregulation. No 50-step frameworks. Just real science, small yet profound changes, and what's actually working.

New episodes every Monday. Subscribe wherever you listen.

Peter Sanchez

Peter Sanchez is the host of Mind-Body Mondays.

For over a decade, Peter worked in biomedical research, including nearly three years at the Stanford University School of Medicine, alongside roles across biotechnology and regenerative medicine. In late 2021, after years of chronic stress and burnout from working in high-pressure labs, he left the industry to work for himself.

A severe health crisis in late 2025 forced Peter to turn his scientific training inward. He began studying mind-body medicine, gut health, and nervous system regulation to understand what years of chronic stress had done to his own body, and how to rebuild it.

Peter is now retaking prerequisite coursework and studying toward a Master's in Molecular Medicine, as he prepares to apply to a Naturopathic Medical program. On Mind-Body Mondays, he shares real-time research, candid lessons, and the tools he's using to heal.
