Episode 1 – The Body Chooses First
What if your body made the choice before your mind ever caught up? In this opening episode of Choice Beyond Logic, Kellie Best explores the fascinating science of unconscious decision-making — from Benjamin Libet’s groundbreaking experiments to the Iowa Gambling Task and Stephen Porges’ insights on neuroception. Along the way, you’ll discover why your nervous system is already shaping your choices, how intuition and biology work hand-in-hand, and what this means for the way you live, love, and decide.
