Most men think declining testosterone is just “part of aging”, but that's a lie Big Pharma sold you. In this video, I break down exactly how I raised my testosterone in my 50s without injections, drugs, or TRT. These are the same biohacks I used to turn my energy, drive, and strength around, naturally. I'll walk you through how your diet, your sleep, and even the light in your bedroom could be sabotaging your hormones. Want results?

This Week/Tonight we are joined by a guest all the way from the third coast (the middle one): Liquid Mike, who walks us through his 10/10 pick, the Marked Men's 2006 record Fix My Brain. If someone had fixed our brains we wouldn't have had to do this podcast, so we should get on that stat. Also up for discussion: Move over Dead Milkmen, this podcast is for Ex-Mailmen, baseball teams can be from all sorts of places, and oh yeah its a very special birthday episode as we listen to Liquid Mike's new record Hell is an Airport, which came out (aka was born) just this week! Also it was Charlie's birthday but w/e that happens every year. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode Andrea revisits her 2019 conversation with Dr. Daniel J. Siegel to explore Mindsight — his science-based approach to understanding the mind, integrating the brain, and cultivating empathy. Dr. Siegel explains the difference between mind and brain, the benefits of the Wheel of Awareness meditation, and how Mindsight can change brain structure and improve health. Watch full interview here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7pnea2Vbzc Practical tips include daily Mindsight practice, naming emotions to build self-awareness, and simple emotional check-ins to make learning and relationships more meaningful. This week, in our review of EP 28 with Daniel J. Siegel, MD  and his book Mindsight, we learned: ✔ The Difference Between the Mind and the Brain. ✔  The Benefits of The Wheel of Awareness Meditation. ✔ How to Understand and Apply Mindsight that gives us insight into ourselves, and empathy for others. ✔ How Mindsight can change brain structure and improve health. ✔ In order to make teaching and learning more meaningful, what we are teaching must have an element of emotion. Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. Episode 371: For today's Episode 371, we continue our journey into the mind with the next interview review. Just a reminder-this review series began back with Episode 366[i], where in Part 3 we discovered an important lesson: if we don't like our results—or what we see on the outside—we need to shift our mindset and look within. True change always begins on the inside.   EP 369[ii] we learned how to Rewire our Brain with Dr. Dawson Church and his Bliss Brain Meditations, and then last week, EP 370[iii] with John Medina's Brain Rules, we reviewed how important this understanding of neuroscience is, especially connected to education, teaching and learning. Which brings us to today's review, EP 371, where we revisit a very early episode with clinical professor of psychiatry from UCLA's School of Medicine, Dr. Daniel J Siegel. He's from EP 28[iv], that was recorded back in November of 2019. As we take this journey deeper into the mind, Dr. Dan Siegel offers the perfect place to begin, with his ability to bridge cutting-edge neuroscience and practical wisdom. Dr. Dan Siegel, is well known for his books, trainings and courses that bridge cutting edge neuroscience with mindfulness and therapy. A reminder of his background-he's a clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine and executive director of the Mindsight Institute[v] where you can find his courses, workshops, books and tools to help anyone understand and apply what can sometimes be complicated scientific concepts and make them easy to understand and applicable to our daily lives. At the end of the interview, I let Dr. Siegel know that I had been practicing his Wheel of Awareness Meditation, and ended up reviewing what I learned on EP 60[vi] where we explored the Science Behind a Meditation Practice. You can watch the whole interview by clicking on the link in the resource section in the show notes, and learn all about Dr. Siegel's work that encompasses schools, with resiliency, brain science and helping our next generation to understand how to apply these important strategies whether it's in our classrooms, or workplaces of the future. Today we will continue to explore within, sharpen our mindset, and learn about what Dr. Siegel calls Mindsight. VIDEO 1 Click Here to Watch In Clip 1, Dr. Siegel unpacks the concept of Mindsight and helps clarify the difference between the mind and the brain, when I asked him to explain this distinction. I knew this wasn't an easy question—as I had already listened to him answer it many times over the years, and still wasn't sure I fully grasped it. In fact, I even tried to tackle it myself back in Episode 23[vii], Understanding Your Brain and Mind for Increased Results. But revisiting this topic now, I can see this concept requires a much deeper reflection. So, I asked Dr. Siegel if we could look at his definition of the mind—one he has been studying for years and that many in his scientific and educational circles agree on. He describes the mind as “an embodied and relational process—since it's in the body and it's in our relationships with one another—that regulates the flow of energy and information.” I wanted to hear him expand on this again, especially around why relationships are so critical for our health, our well-being, and for creating what he calls an integrated brain—which he equates with a healthy brain. His answer helped me to understand the importance of implementing Mindsight into our daily life. He said: “The word mind doesn't actually have a formal definition—not in education, psychotherapy, or even in fields like psychology that study it directly. But if we look closely, the mind includes your subjective experience—that inner feeling of being alive. It also includes consciousness—the ability to know that you're having that subjective experience. And beyond that, there's information processing—which doesn't always require consciousness and is essentially what school focuses on: learning to process information. When you understand the mind as a self-organizing process—a complex system that regulates its own becoming—you begin to see the power of teaching about the mind itself. This is what we call Mindsight. And if we could bring this understanding into education, the outcomes for students would be profoundly different.” Key Tip 1 with Dr. Dan Siegel Understanding and Applying Mindsight which is “the way we focus our attention on the internal world. It's how we bring consciousness to our own thoughts and feelings, and then next,  how we attune to the inner world of someone else. Mindsight gives us insight into ourselves, and empathy for others.”

Low GABA levels are linked to anxiety, poor sleep, memory issues, and neurological conditions like epilepsy and Alzheimer's, but boosting GABA through your gut microbiome offers a natural solution A study in NPJ Science of Food found that prebiotics like fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and Aspergillus-derived enzymes significantly increased brain GABA and homocarnosine, a compound that protects and stabilizes brain function Specific gut bacteria such as Akkermansia and Parabacteroides were directly linked to higher GABA production, while strains like Blautia and Roseburia were associated with lower levels and gut imbalance If your gut is inflamed, even healthy fibers worsen symptoms — so it's essential to start with low-fermentation carbs and reintroduce prebiotics slowly once digestion improves Strategies like fermented foods, GABA supplements, and natural progesterone further enhance GABA activity and support calm, clear, and stable brain function

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – Research at MIT Shows that the long term effects of using AI to write essays may clearly out weight the short term benefits of saving time. The results are alarming: 83% of the ChatGPT group couldn't recall a single sentence, even though they had written it just minutes before. Researchers referred to this as AI-induced amnesia...

In this milestone episode, we're taking you behind the scenes of one of our internal projects: building a brand-new AI bot for the ECF community. Two years ago, we dipped our toes into the AI space with our first attempt… and let's just say it didn't quite pan out. But a lot has changed since then. Now that AI is not only more powerful but more accessible, we've decided to try again—with clearer goals, a sharper focus, and a commitment to enhancing the member experience rather than replacing the human connection ECF is built on. Listen in as we talk about what's changed in the AI space, how we're thinking about ethics and privacy, and what this new tool is designed to do. (Spoiler: it's not just another chatbot.) We're also sharing real use cases where we've already integrated AI into the ECF platform, as well as a few thoughts on where AI is not useful and what it all means for future business strategy.

Send us a textThe effects of protein restriction on metabolism, liver hormones, brain, and behavior.Episode Summary: Dr. Christopher Morrison talks about how animals sense and prioritize nutrients like protein, discussing defense mechanisms for essentials such as oxygen, water, sodium, and energy; the brain's role in detecting protein deprivation via signals like FGF21; trade-offs between growth, reproduction, and longevity under protein restriction; and reconciling high-protein diets for satiety and muscle maintenance with low-protein benefits for metabolic health and lifespan extension.About the guest: Christopher Morrison, PhD is a professor and researcher at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where he has worked for over 22 years focusing on nutrition, metabolism, and chronic diseases like obesity and diabetes.Discussion Points:The body prioritizes nutrients hierarchically: oxygen and water first, then sodium, energy, and protein, with weaker defenses for carbs or fats.Animals develop specific appetites for deprived nutrients, like salt or protein, often through post-ingestive learning rather than just taste.Protein restriction (e.g., 5% vs. 20% in diets) increases food intake and energy expenditure in mice to maintain protein levels, even at the cost of extra calories.FGF21, a liver hormone, signals protein deprivation to the brain (via NTS region), driving protein-seeking behavior and metabolic changes; it's essential for low-protein responses.Protein restriction extends lifespan in lab animals by suppressing growth signals like IGF-1 and mTOR, but may impair immunity or wound healing in real-world conditions.High protein aids satiety, weight loss, and muscle building, but overconsumption may shorten lifespan; optimal intake depends on age, activity, and goals (e.g., not for pregnant or elderly).No one-size-fits-all for protein: mild restriction may benefit middle-aged sedentary people for health, while athletes need more; balance avoids excesses.Related content:M&M 106: Diet, Macronutrients, Micronutrients, Taste, Whole vs. Processed Food, Obesity & Weight Loss, Comparative Biology of Feeding Behavior | Stephen Simpson & David Raubenheimer*Not medical advice.Support the showAffiliates: Seed Oil Scout: Find restaurants with seed oil-free options, scan food products to see what they're hiding, with this easy-to-use mobile app. KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + electrolytes formulated for kidney health.

Dr Sarah Hill is a professor at TCU, a research psychologist, expert in women's hormones and brain science, and an author. Each month, women experience hormonal changes that go far beyond the clichés of PMS. These shifts can influence mood, stress response, and even how women relate to others. So how can recognizing these patterns make it easier for both men and women to navigate relationships when things don't feel normal? Expect to learn why hormones play such a role in psychological function, what actually happens to women during their time of the month and what a PMS brain is, if women understand what their cycle does to them, what men can learn about women's hormonal cycles and how birth control changes the brain, if oral contraceptives could be the biggest unexamined mental health experiment currently playing out, if PMS is actually a design feature rather than a flaw, and much more… Sponsors: See me on tour in America: ⁠https://chriswilliamson.live⁠ See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: https://chriswillx.com/deals Get a Free Sample Pack of LMNT's most popular Flavours with your first purchase at https://drinklmnt.com/modernwisdom Get the brand new Whoop 5.0 and your first month for free at https://join.whoop.com/modernwisdom Get 5 Free Travel Packs, Free Liquid Vitamin D, and more from AG1 at https://ag1.info/modernwisdom Timestamps: (0:00) Introducing the Menstrual Cycle (5:30) What Women Experience During Their Cycle (20:29) The Ovulatory Shift Hypothesis: Researching the Cycle (44:05) How Do Men and Women Differ Hormonally?

https://grandtheftworld.com/ 00:00:00 – Meeting Richard Grove Warm intro with Richard Grove: Pittsburgh roots, shoes and job-site footwear, then straight into Grove's history with John Taylor Gatto and how Gatto's ideas on schooling-as-indoctrination reshaped his worldview. Personal stories about helping Gatto after his stroke and preserving his work. 00:10:00 – Gatto's Legacy & Foundation Power Recap of Gatto resigning as NY Teacher of the Year; the Reese Committee, Norman Dodd, and how Carnegie/Rockefeller/Ford foundations nudged policy and education. Language, printing press, and information control as the real levers of power. 00:20:00 – Multi-Generational Networks Banks and industrialists funding both sides of conflicts; the supra-political layer above parties and nations. Grove demos his research “Brain” map and traces threads through RAND, CFR, common core authors, Rhodes scholars, and Anglo-American planning. 00:30:00 – Wilson's Warning & Debunking Debunkers Woodrow Wilson's “shadow power” passage and how quotes get straw-manned online. How “fact-checks” poison the well by refuting claims no one actually made—keeping the real discussion off-limits. 00:40:00 – Money, Markets, and the Trivium Goldbacks and parallel money at liberty festivals; why cartelized finance isn't “capitalism.” Education deliberately omits the Trivium (grammar → logic → rhetoric), creating literate but uncritical citizens. Reframing learning as input/process/output. 00:50:00 – Empire by Other Means UK DCDC future-war documents; the British Empire's evolution into a covert commonwealth model using U.S. power. Cecil Rhodes's plan to pull America back into the imperial fold via a cadre—seed of the Rhodes Scholarships. 01:00:00 – The Will of Rhodes Grove details Rhodes's will, the Rothschild link, and how Rhodes Scholars (Clinton, Talbott, etc.) shape U.S. institutions. “From cowboys to gentlemen”: reforming American attitudes to match British elite preferences. 01:10:00 – Occult, Culture, and Soft Power Fabian socialists, spiritualist circles, and mystery-school currents around British politics; cultural capture from lawns to the British Invasion. Occult motifs and “initiated” knowledge as social glue for elites. 01:20:00 – Becoming a Whistleblower Grove's Sarbanes–Oxley compliance work; discovering audit-trail backdoors that let firms erase records; pushback, retaliation, and years of litigation. How lived experience hardened his stance against institutional corruption. 01:30:00 – 9/11 Anomalies Deep Dive Pentagon inconsistencies, missing (orange) black boxes, and security-cam gaps; “Pilots for 9/11 Truth” (Rob Balsamo) analyses; the “dancing Israelis” arrest and quiet deportations. Media scripting vs. physics and flight-path questions; drills/foreknowledge discussions and why these details still matter. 01:40:00 – Epstein, Pizzagate & Media Lines They hash through the Epstein network and culture's selective outrage: UK's Savile cover-ups vs. U.S. media skittishness; social feed reactions; speculation about Trump's possible informant role; Clinton associations. The broader theme: blackmail, intelligence services, and why cases like these get memory-holed. 01:50:00 – Assange, Censorship & Platforms Assange's background and the years in the Ecuadorian embassy; intelligence community pressure and narrative-management. Broader talk on censorship, de-platforming, alt-video (e.g., Odysee), and keeping shows listener-supported. Tease for live podcasting and how/why independent media survives. 02:00:00 – Skills, Autonomy & Sign-Off Grove's path from 2006 podcasting to building communities and courses (AUTONOMY): teaching durable skills, critical thinking, and entrepreneurial value creation. Invitation to listeners: learn the method, find your people, make a meaningful living. Thanks and goodbyes.

Is forgetfulness just a normal part of aging—or could it be the early signs of dementia?After watching a loved one slowly lose their ability to speak, eat, and remember who they were, I knew I had to find answers. That's why I sat down with Dr. Heather Sandison, ND, to explore the truth about Alzheimer's and dementia—and what you can do to protect your brain long before symptoms take hold.We're talking early warning signs, testing to understand your dementia risk, hidden inflammatory brain triggers, dementia genes, and science-backed steps to get ahead of cognitive decline.Yes, you can do something about this – and it has to start long before you've got symptoms!

In this episode, I'm opening up about something personal—and still unfolding. For years, I've suspected I might have ADHD. I usually wait until I've got everything figured out before I share, but this time I'm bringing you with me in real-time. If you've ever wondered whether your brain works a little differently—if you've struggled with focus, follow-through, forgetfulness, or feeling scattered—this episode might hit home. I'll explain why I'm finally getting tested, what common ADHD symptoms look like (especially in women), and why so many of us feel dismissed when we try to talk about it. I'm not a doctor—but after 51 years and a lot of patterns I can't ignore, I'm ready to get answers. Let's talk about it.

In this Think Thursday episode, Molly explores the growing field of environmental neuroscience and what new research is uncovering about microplastics and brain health. Microplastics are everywhere—from oceans and soil to food and even the air we breathe. While they have long been recognized as an environmental issue, scientists are now finding evidence that they may also influence how the brain functions and ages.Molly explains how microplastics can interact with the brain through inflammation, oxidative stress, and disrupted signaling. She shares a striking new study linking microplastic exposure in genetically vulnerable mice to Alzheimer's-like changes, and she unpacks what this might mean for humans. Alongside the science, Molly offers practical strategies to reduce exposure and emphasizes that protecting your brain is about progress, not perfection.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat microplastics are and how they enter our bodiesWhy researchers are concerned about their effects on the brainThe role of neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and disrupted signaling in everyday symptoms like brain fog and mood changesHow environmental exposures may interact with genetic risk factors for dementiaSeven practical steps you can take to reduce microplastic exposure in daily lifeKey Quote“Protecting your brain is never about one big thing. It is about many small things working together. Alcohol, sleep, stress, nutrition, and yes, even the environment, are all parts of the same ecosystem.”Resources and ReferencesWashington Post (Sept 2025): Study links microplastics to Alzheimer's-like symptoms in miceWorld Health Organization reports on microplastic exposureResearch on APOE4 and microplastic interactions in mouse modelsPrevious Think Thursday episodes: World Brain Day—5 Habits to Keep Your Brain SHARP, Chronic Stress and Your Memory ★ Support this podcast ★

As parents, we are concerned that our kids and teens may engage in high risk behaviors as they grow up. How can we, as parents, encourage our children away from engaging in these high risk behaviors?

In this episode of Faith in Healthcare, Dr. Steve Willing joins host Dr. Mike Chupp to explore the neuroscience behind what is often described as transgender identity. Drawing from his decades of experience in pediatric neuroradiology, as well as his work in apologetics and scholarship, Dr. Willing examines brain imaging research, neuroplasticity, and the impact of puberty blockers. He challenges healthcare professionals to seek truth in a field clouded by controversy, while reminding us to respond with courage, compassion, and conviction as followers of Christ.

In this episode of The Entrepreneur Experiment, Gary Fox sits down with Paul Buckley — the fiercely honest and deeply reflective founder behind C2O Group. From nearly going pro in golf to blowing his savings in a poker room, to scaling and selling one of Australia's fastest-growing engineering companies, Paul shares his rollercoaster journey through ambition, burnout, and bold reinvention. You'll hear how Paul built EPS Group Australia from the ground up, scaled it to $84M in revenue in just three years, and exited in a major acquisition — only to find himself mentally and emotionally depleted in the aftermath. What followed was a two-year reset, a $14M relaunch, and a second act that's bigger, sharper, and backed by one of the world's leading private equity funds. If you're a founder who's exited (or wants to), this episode is your blueprint for navigating what comes next — the highs, the regrets, and the resilience it takes to start again.

Today, we expose the dark world of steamy romance novels, from violent “smut” like “50 Shades of Grey” to monster fantasies, luring women into dopamine-fueled addiction. Online discussions like BookTok are fueling Gen Z's addiction to erotic literature. We unpack their psychological and spiritual harm, fueling discontent and demonic delusions. Join us to reject this cultural poison and pursue the purity and satisfaction found only in Christ, guarding our hearts for God's glory. Share the Arrows 2025 is on October 11 in Dallas, Texas!

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are surgically implanted devices that link the brain to a computer. They can be helpful for people who've lost the ability to move or speak. And they're making progress. New generations of BCIs could go as far as to detect a person's inner monologue.But that progress is raising questions about the future privacy of our brains, and has some scientists asking, “What happens when you want to keep some things to yourself?”NPR brain correspondent Jon Hamilton talks to Short Wave's Emily Kwong about the future of BCIs.Read more of Jon's reporting on brain implants.Interested in more on the future of brain science?

Brain fog, anxiety, and mental decline are often treated like inevitable parts of aging. But what if that narrative is wrong? In this episode, I'm joined by Harvard-trained physician and NAD expert Dr. Andrew Salzman to explore the science of brain aging—and why your brain's “fuel supply” matters more than you think.We'll unpack:✅ Why cognitive decline isn't inevitable✅ How one molecule (NAD+) drives 500 critical functions✅ Why NAD levels plunge by 50% by midlife—and what that means for brain health✅ The surprising role of CD38 in speeding up aging✅ Practical steps to maintain brain energy, mental clarity, and cellular healthThis conversation is about proactive longevity—not just adding years to life, but life to your years. Whether you're 25 or 65, your brain needs energy to thrive.

Older adults who consumed between 1.2 and 1.6 milligrams of copper daily scored higher on memory and processing speed tests, with stroke survivors benefiting the most Higher copper levels in specific brain regions were linked to slower cognitive decline and fewer Alzheimer's-related changes A high-fat diet combined with high copper intake more than doubled the rate of memory loss, especially in language and verbal recall skills Copper regulates enzymes that protect brain cells from oxidative stress and helps shift brain immune cells into a healing state after injury Whole foods like grass fed beef liver, bee pollen, and shiitake mushrooms support copper balance, while strategic supplementation with copper bisglycinate helps restore levels in those with deficiency

Is it possible that autism, Alzheimer's, bipolar disorder, and other major health challenges might all be related to the gut?That's the question Dr. Sabine Hazan, a gastroenterologist and CEO of Progenabiome, has been probing for years.The Food and Drug Administration recently approved the use of fecal transplants for research into the treatment of autism, and Dr. Hazan says this may open the door to real breakthroughs.She hopes to compare the microbiomes of autistic children with their neurotypical siblings and see if fecal transplants can help treat autism. She's already seen one remarkable case where restoring gut bacteria brought real improvements for a child with autism.Can these findings be replicated on a larger scale?During the COVID-19 pandemic, she observed that people who experienced the worst bouts of COVID-19 seemed to have significantly lower counts of a key microbe: bifidobacteria.“Bifidobacteria is important in absorbing sugar. It's important in your metabolism. It's important in your energy drive,” Dr. Hazan says.There are trillions of microbes in the gut, and scientists are only just starting to discover how this delicate balance of microbes impacts people's health, immunity, and mental wellness, Dr. Hazan says. There are “microbes that can kill us, but also microbes that can save us,” Dr. Hazan says.“You will see, probably in 10 or 50 years from now, there will be a connection between cardiac disease and the microbiome. We will be possibly able to fix the heart by fixing the gut, because it all is connected,” Dr. Hazan says.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Neuroscience is tricky… to say the least. Dedicated scientists have been exploring the organ since ancient times but there is still so much we don't know about what goes on between our ears. In part 1 of our brain series, host Dr. Samantha Yammine speaks with neuroscientist Dr. Daniel Toker about his research on consciousness through experimenting with lab-grown organoids. He explains what we can learn about the brain from better understanding consciousness. Then, Sam explores why our brains love to fixate on the mistakes we make and whether or not we can actually perceive more than five senses in our bodies.

Most people spend their lives trying to outrun death instead of learning from it. This episode shows you why facing mortality directly can unlock resilience, forgiveness, gratitude, and peace while upgrading longevity, human performance, and even brain optimization. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Suzanne O'Brien, RN—an end-of-life expert, hospice nurse, and founder of Doulagivers who has guided over 1,000 people through their final moments. She shares what the dying can teach the living about biohacking fear, letting go of unresolved trauma, and finding clarity before it's too late. Together they explore how hacking your mindset around death transforms not only emotional well-being but also physical health, neuroplasticity, and metabolism. You'll hear stories of people who discovered forgiveness and gratitude at the end of life, and how those practices directly influence mitochondria, sleep optimization, and longevity. They dive into the link between fear, stress chemistry, and chronic illness—and why tools like fasting, ketosis, cold therapy, supplements, nootropics, and functional medicine create the inner and outer resilience needed to face life fully. You'll Learn: • Why fear of death silently undermines health, performance, and human potential • How forgiveness and gratitude rewire neuroplasticity and boost brain optimization • What hospice nurses know about consciousness and near-death experiences that science is only starting to confirm • How unresolved trauma shows up as physical pain and disease at the end of life Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade is the top podcast for people who want to take control of their biology, extend their longevity, and optimize every system in the body and mind. Each episode features cutting-edge insights in health, performance, neuroscience, supplements, nutrition, hacking, emotional intelligence, and conscious living.

Hey, Heal Squad! We're back with the one and only Dr Joe Dispenza for Part 2 of our powerful conversation! Dr Joe shares with Maria how love resets trauma in the brain, why the heart is the true gateway to healing, and how mastering our emotions allows us to finally create the life we want. He also gives his meditation prescription to those who are starting their journey (and tips on how to get started). Maria also opens up about her own practice of asking, “What would love do?” in moments of anger and hurt, and how that single shift dissolved pain and changed everything. Together, they dive deep into what it really means to choose love over fear, and why consistency and self-accountability are the ultimate formula for transformation. PLUS, Dr Joe shares some of the most shocking healing testimonials you'll ever hear, you'll just have to tune in to find out! This will leave you in tears, in awe, and with a whole new sense of what's possible! Tune in!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Love resets the brain. When energy moves into the heart, it sends a signal to the brain that the past is over, dissolving trauma and opening the door to healing. This shift lets you look back without pain and step forward with freedom. Healing requires consistency. The people who transform don't miss a day; they show up for themselves until they believe in their future more than their past. It's the daily commitment that turns possibility into reality. Forgiveness is freedom. True forgiveness isn't about forcing it, it's what naturally happens when you release the emotion and open your heart. When you stop carrying the charge of the past, you're finally free to create something new. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjoedispenza  Website: https://drjoedispenza.com/  Attend Dr Joe's Upcoming Week Long Retreat on September 14-20: https://drjoedispenza.com/product-details/Nashville%20Week%20Long%20Advanced%20Retreat%20September%202025  ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.
