Neurociencia y La Teologia del cuerpo ft. Laura Fontalvo
The brain also speaks to the mystery of being male and female. In this episode of Tinto with Wojtyla, Gustavo Mejía—psychotherapist and professor of Theology of the Body—talks with Laura Fontalvo, psychotherapist and specialist in brain function, about the differences between men and women from the perspectives of biology and neuroscience. Based on the study of the human brain, they explore how certain functions—such as emotional processing, decision-making, communication, and relational connection—tend to manifest themselves differently in men and women. Far from creating division, these differences reveal a deeper truth: we are designed for complementarity. This episode offers an integrative perspective that blends science, psychology, and faith, showing that the design of the human brain also reflects God's plan for the individual: a call to communion, encounter, and love. A conversation that helps us better understand one another and appreciate the richness of our differences.
