I'd love to hear from you - Send me a text message Healing Isn't Serious, It's Sacred and PlayfulSomewhere along the way, healing became heavy.We were taught that growth has to be intense. That transformation must be serious. That if we're not digging deep into trauma, we're not doing it “properly.”But what if healing is not meant to feel like punishment?In this episode, I explore the power of joy, laughter, and lightness in the healing journey. We talk about why some of our most powerful, grounded, and clear moments happen when we are laughing deeply… when we feel playful… when we feel safe.I share reflections on:• Why joy is a sign of nervous system safety• How seriousness can become a survival pattern• The energetic power of laughter• Reconnecting with your inner child• How subtle inner child work can create profound shifts• Healing across time — past, present, and futureThere is great power in joy.There is clarity in play.There is healing in celebration.This episode is an invitation to soften… to reconnect with the part of you that once felt carefree… and to remember that healing is not just about processing pain, it's also about reclaiming your light.The episode concludes with a separate guided meditation: Inner Child Joy Activation.May this be your reminder that healing isn't serious.It's sacred.And it's playful.

I'd love to hear from you - Send me a text message Why So Many Souls Feel Tired Right NowThere is a particular kind of exhaustion moving through humanity right now.Not just physical tiredness…But soul-tiredness. Nervous system fatigue. Emotional overwhelm. A quiet sense that something isn't quite right in the world.In this episode, Ayesha speaks compassionately about why so many sensitive souls feel drained, disoriented, or deeply affected by what is being revealed in our collective reality.She shares her own awakening journey from over 20 years ago, the moment she realised that the world was not as it appeared, and the deep unraveling that followed. While that period was confronting, it eventually led her to a powerful question:

I'd love to hear from you - Send me a text message Body Listening + Chakra scan with Sacred Frequencies This guided meditation is an invitation to slow down and listen deeply to the body.Through gentle awareness, breath, and sacred sound, you'll be guided to reconnect with your body's innate intelligence — the part of you that remembers safety, balance, and wholeness.Rather than forcing release or “fixing” anything, this meditation supports the body in softening naturally when it feels listened to. Awareness is brought through the body and energy centres as an interconnected system, allowing space for integration, grounding, and heart-centred presence.This meditation is especially supportive if you:• Feel stuck in survival mode• Carry tension or emotional holding in the body• Want to deepen somatic awareness and intuition• Are seeking gentle, nervous-system-supportive healingAllow the sound and stillness to guide you home — to a place your body already knows

Most people think dementia starts with memory loss. But for millions, it actually begins decades earlier: in the blood vessels. Long before someone forgets a name or misses an appointment, the brain is being quietly damaged by high blood pressure, cholesterol imbalance, poor sleep, inflammation, and chronic stress, day after day, year after year. This kind of damage doesn't look dramatic. There's no big stroke, no clear warning sign. It happens slowly and silently, which is why it's so often missed until it's too late. But here's the good news: vascular dementia is one of the most preventable and manageable forms of cognitive decline. When caught early, lifestyle changes and medical interventions can help slow the onset and manage the effects. In this episode, we explore: What vascular dementia and vascular cognitive impairment are, and how they differ from Alzheimer's disease Why most dementia cases involve both vascular damage and neurodegenerative pathology (mixed dementia) How blood vessel damage begins in childhood and accumulates silently for decades The role of high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, sleep disorders, and chronic stress in damaging brain vasculature Why slowed thinking, movement, and processing speed are hallmark signs of vascular cognitive decline The critical importance of the endothelium: the thin lining of blood vessels that controls brain health How lifestyle factors like nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management protect and repair vascular health Why managing blood pressure early is one of the most powerful interventions for long-term brain health (and why everyone should have a blood pressure monitor at home!) How vascular damage can be slowed, even in midlife Practical steps for prevention across the lifespan, from childhood through older adulthood Our guest for this episode is DR. COLUMBUS BATISTE, a board-certified interventional cardiologist, an incredible science communicator, and author of 'Selfish: A Cardiologist's Guide to Healing a Broken Heart'. Dr. Batiste brings deep expertise on how cardiovascular health shapes brain health, and why protecting the endothelium (the inner lining of blood vessels) is foundational to longevity. His work emphasizes that all roads to longevity are paved by the heart, and what's good for the heart is good for the brain! 'Your Brain On…' is hosted by neurologists, scientists, and public health advocates Drs. Ayesha and Dean Sherzai.

A 22 year old woman who identified as a boy during her teen years, just won a $2 million landmark lawsuit, the first detransitioner malpractice lawsuit in the nation to go to trial and win. The woman had a double mastectomy at the age of 16, a procedure which was approved by a psychologist and surgeon, both of whom were found liable of medical malpractice by a jury. Ayesha Kreutz, member of the Coalition to Protect Kids NY, joins the show to discuss this case, and more.

I'd love to hear from you - Send me a text message Food Was Never Meant to Be Feared. It Was Meant to Heal.In this episode, we gently unravel the story we've been told about food — and return to what the body has always known.Food was never meant to be confusing, overwhelming, or something to fear. Yet over the years, with conflicting advice, processed foods, damaged soils, and constant noise around nutrition, many of us have lost trust in both food and our bodies.In this podcast, I share:•My own personal journey with gut imbalance and how I healed through nourishment•How modern food systems have impacted our digestion and nervous systems•Why real, whole, unprocessed foods calm the body rather than stress it•The powerful gut–brain connection and how nourishment directly supports emotional regulation•How returning to simplicity can restore trust, safety, and balance within the bodyThis is an invitation to come home to food as medicine — not through perfection or restriction, but through listening, simplicity, and nourishment that supports the entire system.Food doesn't just feed the body.It soothes the nervous system.It restores rhythm.It brings us back into relationship with ourselves.Ayesha is a Holistic Health Practitioner, weaving together years of practice as a Meditation Teacher, Sound Healing Facilitator, QHHT Practitioner, Colon Hydrotherapist, Nutritionist, and certified GAPS Practitioner (gut & psychology syndrome) Her work integrates the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual layers of healing — supporting the whole human, not just one aspect of their wellbeing. Across her years of working with thousands of clients, Ayesha has witnessed the profound transformation that occurs when we combine breath, sound, nutrition, inner work, and energetic alignment. She has seen bodies heal, nervous systems reset, emotions soften, and hearts open when the right tools are applied with presence and wisdom.

In this episode, we sit down with Ayesha Hilton for a thoughtful conversation exploring Human Design as a personality modality and what it reveals about the New Era of the Individual. Together, we reflect on the growing cultural shift away from one-size-fits-all systems and toward a deeper honoring of individuality, embodiment, and inner authority. Through the lens of Human Design, we explore how understanding our unique energetic makeup can support more aligned creativity, decision-making, and self-expression—both personally and professionally. Our conversation touches on: Human Design as a tool for self-awareness rather than identity fixation The New Era of the Individual and the movement toward self-trust How creatives can work more in alignment with who they truly are Connect with Ayesha Hilton The Sacred Ones Album https://open.spotify.com/album/59Uc4FypRs5CI5ai9Jbi9z?si=OhNpFeImT8GNsYOYsenmHA To get a free  human design chart - https://www.ayeshahilton.academy/f/report To book a Prosperity Blueprint session -  https://bookme.name/ayeshahilton/lite/prosperity-blueprint Website:  www.ayeshahilton.com Watch the video version in the wholeness library.

Cold plunges are everywhere, and the way people talk about them, you'd think they're a miracle cure for your brain, body, and soul. But in an age of algorithm-fueled evangelism, when a ritual becomes this ubiquitous and loud, we have to ask: how much of the buzz is backed by science… and how much is just marketing? In this episode, we explore the neuroscience of cold exposure: what's real, what's overstated, and why this "discomfort" has become a billion-dollar industry. We discuss: Why cold plunges went viral, and how wellness movements often devolve into identity-driven cultures The difference between cold exposure itself and the monetized "cold plunge movement" What constitutes a "cult" (and how pseudoscience forms around partial truths) The real physiological cold shock response Why the mental "high" after a plunge doesn't automatically equal long-term brain benefit The cardiovascular risks that rarely get discussed, especially for people with underlying heart disease What the research suggests about soreness, pain reduction, and muscle growth (including why cold immersion can blunt hypertrophy) The real story behind brown fat Who should avoid cold plunges altogether (asthma, arrhythmias, coronary disease, vascular conditions) Joining us for this conversation is investigative journalist and bestselling author Scott Carney (What Doesn't Kill Us, The Wedge), who has spent years inside the cold exposure world, first as a skeptic, then as a believer, and eventually as a critic of the culture that formed around it. His work reveals what happens when discomfort becomes identity, and when unfounded "social media science" outruns real science.

I'd love to hear from you - Send me a text message

I'd love to hear from you - Send me a text message So many of us are feeling exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about what's to come. We're carrying concerns about our health, our loved ones, our work, and the state of the world, all while trying to keep going and “cope” with day-to-day life.In this episode, we explore a powerful reframe: we are not broken,  our nervous systems are overstimulated.When the nervous system is living in prolonged stress and survival mode, our perception narrows. Situations feel more intense than they truly are. We become more self-critical, more reactive, and more disconnected from clarity, compassion, and ease.This conversation is a gentle reminder that nothing has gone wrong. From a place of non-judgement and loving awareness, we can begin to observe our thoughts, emotions, and bodily responses, and from there, create real change.This episode invites you to step out of survival mode and remember that another way of being is available: one rooted in safety, presence, and inner calm.

Around the start of 2026, a study sparked viral headlines claiming that cheese could reduce dementia risk. But... nutrition science almost never works like this. One study can't "prove" a food is protective or harmful, and viral health claims often miss the most important details of research: how the data was gathered, what was actually measured, what variables were controlled for, and what it means in real life. In this episode, we unpack what the 'viral cheese study' (PMID: 41406402) actually found, what it DOESN'T mean, and why critical thinking around nutrition headlines matters more than ever. We discuss: • Why viral food headlines are so persuasive (and so often misleading) • What the cheese study REALLY reported • The difference between correlation and causation in nutrition research • Why long-term dietary recall data can be unreliable • How bias (including our personal food preferences) shapes interpretation of research • What "show me the data" really means in a world of clickbait science • How to interpret food and brain health studies without falling into extremes We also speak to Emily Sonestedt, research group leader and associate professor at Lund University, and one of the authors of the viral study.

Medical advances over the past century mean our bodies are living longer than ever. But our brains aren't always keeping pace. Rates of Alzheimer's are rising, and the big question is, why? Emerging science suggests that our brain health in later life is shaped decades earlier, through everyday choices around food, lifestyle, and stress. Today, I'm joined by neurologists Drs. Ayesha and Dean Sherzai, who will share their NEURO plan; a practical guide that you can use today to keep your brain strong tomorrow.

What was the biggest thing that changed for you this year? We'll go first: our host Ayesha Rascoe bought a house with her best friend! Now the two of them are living together and platonically coparenting five kids under the same roof. The seed of this idea actually came from a conversation Ayesha had last year, when she sat down with NPR producer and editor Rhaina Cohen to talk about her book, "The Other Significant Others: Reimagining Life with Friendship at the Center." In the book, Rhaina shares stories about friends who own homes together, raise kids with each other, and care for each other in old age. At the end of the year, when so many of us are reflecting on personal milestones and relationships, we're sharing Ayesha and Rhaina's conversation again. Because so much is possible when you choose to put friendship at the center of your life.This interview originally aired on February 11, 2024.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Chemotherapy saves lives. But for millions, it also comes with side effects of cognitive fog, memory lapses, slowed thinking, and emotional flattening. In the past, 'chemo brain' has sometimes been dismissed as anecdotal. But, as science has evolved, we've come to understand the very real shifts in attention, memory, processing speed, and emotional regulation underpinning the impairment. In this episode, we break down what's happening in the brain during treatment, why these changes arise, and how healthier lifestyle choices can support our recovery. In this episode, we explore: • What 'chemo brain' really is (and why chemotherapy itself isn't the only thing contributing to it) • How inflammation, hormonal shifts, anesthesia, sleep disruption, and chronic stress impact cognition during cancer • The latest research on structural and functional brain changes during treatment • Why many cognitive effects are temporary (and how neuroplasticity supports recovery) • How cognitive fog intersects with identity loss and grief • The role of nutrition in supporting clarity, energy, memory, and mood during chemotherapy • How to navigate food fears, misinformation, and "miracle cancer diets" • The importance of gentle movement, sleep consistency, and stress management • How patients can advocate for themselves (including tips on what to discuss with their care team) Bringing their perspectives and expertise to this episode are two wonderful guests: • DR. LIZ O'RIORDAN: retired breast surgeon, author, and three-time breast cancer survivor, whose personal and clinical experience offers a rare, deeply human insight into cancer-related cognitive change. • NICHOLE ANDREWS, RDN: oncology dietitian, educator, and advocate for evidence-based, fear-free nutrition during and after cancer treatment.

From 18th century London to the promise of a global cure: the 200-year history of Parkinson's disease. To mark the release of our 'Ask the MD' conversation with The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, and to welcome a new influx of listeners, we're sharing one of our very first episodes, first aired in August 2024. Watch our full 'Ask the MD' interview, focused on lifestyle strategies for boosting brain health, on the foundation's website: https://www.michaeljfox.org/news/lifestyle-strategies-boost-brain-health-ask-md-video  Parkinson's, a neurodegenerative disorder most commonly characterized by tremors and other motor symptoms, is so complex, many medical professionals are starting to classify it as a group of diseases, rather than a single disease. In this episode, we explain those complexities, including: • The motor symptoms (e.g. cogwheel rigidity, bradykinesia) and non-motor symptoms (e.g. depression, sleep disorders) • How the industrial revolution may have brought about environmental factors which contribute to Parkinson's • The differences and similarities between Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer's • How Parkinson's manifests in our brains • Why one nurse was able to detect Parkinson's through smell • The neurogenetics of Parkinson's, and the ethical quandaries of evolving genetic technology • Why lifestyle — nutrition, exercise, etc. — is so key to preventing and managing Parkinson's Joining us for this extensive conversation are three incredible guests: • Dr. Rachel Dolhun, Senior Vice President of Medical Communications at The Michael J.

"I see humans as these radio stations. And depending on the frequency you're vibrating like a radio, you're going to perceive different information. So the whole point of these spiritual practices is to purify the filter through which we perceive information, right? So that we can tap into higher frequencies… Ayahuasca is really, for me, the ultimate cleansing, purifying medicine." - Fred of Taozen For the first time in the history of the podcast, Ayesha is honoured to welcome two very special guests, Carla and Fred of Taozen.

Carnivorous diets have been woven into our history for millennia, but, with nutrition science advancing at an unprecedented pace over the past century... do we really still need to be eating meat? We live in a time of rising chronic disease, new longevity research, and a growing awareness of how our food choices shape our brain and our planet. We're also constantly exposed to 'nutrition tribalism': social media communicators and influencers building identities (and livelihoods) around polarizing dietary debates. It's a lot to navigate. So, we're cutting straight to the data in this episode. Plus: we're pulling on the work and research we've done in many different communities to explore how going plant-based can be as much a cultural or logistical hurdle as a health-driven or ethics-based choice. In this episode, we discuss: Whether protein deficiency is a realistic concern Protein myths: plant vs. animal What the actual protein science says (and why most Americans already get more than enough) The role of saturated fat, fiber, and the microbiome Processed vs. unprocessed meat — what matters most How identity, culture, and family can make going plant-based challenging How cooking method changes risk (yes, barbecue lovers… we go there) Meat alternatives: healthful option or "ultra-processed trap"? Practical, non-judgmental guidance for plant-forward or omnivorous eaters  To give this divisive matter the nuance it deserves, we welcome three of the most authoritative voices in this space: DR. CHRISTOPHER GARDNER: the Stanford nutrition scientist behind landmark diet trials (including DIETFITS). DR. ADRIAN CHAVEZ: a nutrition researcher, educator, and consultant, who previously joined us for 'Your Brain On... Supplements'. DR. MATTHEW NAGRA: a nutritionist and science communicator, who you might remember from 'Your Brain On... Protein'. This is... Your Brain On Eating Meat. SUPPORTED BY: the 2026 NEURO World Retreat.

"That's the transformation journey. It's not about attaining something you don't have. It's actually the death and rebirth to become more of who you came here to become. And when you start to see the death and rebirth process as where the magic happens, your life is going to drastically change."   Ayesha delves into an often overlooked, yet crucial aspect of transformation: the death and rebirth process. Calling in our best life begins with letting go of what no longer serves us, to make space for new beginnings, and to truly walk our destined path.   For show notes and transcripts, visit The Oath Oracle Podcast blog

Everyone eats. It's the one thing we all have in common. And yet, nutrition has become one of the most confusing, divisive, and misunderstood sciences in modern life. Low-fat. High-fat. Keto. Vegan. Paleo. Superfoods. For every study, there's a headline that seems to say the opposite. In this episode, we turn to one of the most trusted voices in nutrition research to cut through the noise: Dr. Walter Willett, MD, DrPH. Dr. Willett, Professor of Epidemiology and Nutrition at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, has spent more than four decades studying how what we eat affects our health, longevity, and brain function. His work has helped reshape dietary guidelines around the world, replacing fear and fads with clarity and evidence. Together, we unpack what the science really says about diet and the brain: how food choices shape inflammation, cognition, and long-term disease risk, and what practical lessons decades of data can teach us about eating for life and longevity. In this conversation, we discuss: • How nutrition became so confusing (and what the data actually shows) • Why the quality of fat matters more than the amount • How refined carbohydrates fuel inflammation, insulin resistance, and brain fog • The power of fiber and the microbiome for mood and memory • Why plant-based proteins come out ahead for health and sustainability • How global dietary guidelines are changing (and what's still misunderstood) • The intersection of nutrition, planetary health, and human wellbeing Dr. Walter Willett has authored over 2,000 scientific papers and several landmark books, including 'Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy'.

Autism isn't new, but our understanding of it has changed dramatically. It's now recognized as a broad neurodevelopmental spectrum that shapes how millions of people perceive, process, and interact with the world. In this episode, we explore what autism is AND isn't, from its earliest signs in infancy to its deep genetic roots, and why misinformation about it continues to spread. We speak with three remarkable experts leading the field in early detection, genetics, and public education: DR. AMI KLIN, PhD, Director of the Marcus Autism Center at Emory University and a pioneer in early autism research, whose work shows autism can be identified in babies as young as two months old. DR. JOSEPH BUXBAUM, PhD, Director of the Seaver Autism Center at Mount Sinai and a global leader in autism genetics, uncovering hundreds of genes linked to the condition. DR. ANDREA LOVE, immunologist, microbiologist, and founder of ImmunoLogic, known for her clear, evidence-based communication about vaccines, immunity, and autism myths. Together, we discuss: • What autism really is, and how the definitions have evolved • How it develops in infancy (and why early diagnosis can be so critical) • The powerful genetic evidence behind autism • The persistence of vaccine myths, and how misinformation spreads • How technology like eye-tracking can detect autism early • The rise of “profound autism” and what it means for families • The future of genetics-based treatments and therapy Whether you're autistic yourself, a parent navigating a new diagnosis, or simply seeking understanding, we're thrilled to share this extensive, in-depth episode with you.

JAMA. 2015;313(15):1534–1540 Madsen et al., 2003 – JAMA A study of 467,450 Danish children found no relationship between thimerosal-containing vaccines and autism. JAMA. 2003;290(13):1763–1766 DeStefano et al., 2022 – Vaccine A retrospective cohort of over 500,000 U.S. children with ASD found no increase in adverse events or worsening of autism-related symptoms following vaccination. Vaccine. 2022;40(16):2391–2398 2. Population-Level Epidemiologic Evidence Taylor et al., 1999 – The Lancet One of the earliest large epidemiological studies found autism prevalence was the same in vaccinated and unvaccinated children, and the age of onset was unrelated to the timing of MMR vaccination. Read: Lancet. 1999;353(9169):2026–2029 Institute of Medicine (U.S.) Immunization Safety Review, 2011 A global review of studies from the U.S., Denmark, Sweden, and the U.K. concluded there is no causal relationship between vaccination status and autism, and no plausible biological mechanism linking vaccines (including thimerosal) to ASD. Read: National Academies Press / PubMed 20669467 3. Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Taylor et al., 2014 – Vaccine A comprehensive meta-analysis of 10 studies including over 1.2 million children found no association between vaccination and autism or ASD. Vaccine. 2014;32(29):3623–3629 Maglione et al., 2014 – Pediatrics Review of 67 high-quality studies covering the full U.S. immunization schedule concluded that vaccines are safe, adverse events are rare, and there is no link to autism, type 1 diabetes, or other chronic conditions. Pediatrics. 2014;134(2):325–337 Parker et al., 2004 – Pediatrics Systematic review of 10 primary studies examining thimerosal exposure found no relationship between vaccines and ASD. Authors noted that studies showing an association were methodologically flawed or biased, while robust studies consistently showed safety. Pediatrics. 2004;113(6):1904–1910 Offit & Hackett, 2003 – Clinical Infectious Diseases Review of immunology and epidemiology concluded that claims that vaccines “overwhelm” or “damage” the immune system are not biologically plausible based on how the immune system actually functions. Clin Infect Dis. 2003;46(9):1450–1456
