Podcasts about Brain

Imagine your brain's hardware is perfect, but the software is glitching so badly your body stops working.We sit down with Erum, a biochemist who navigates the world with a rare and often misunderstood condition: Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). We Raw Dog into the fascinating science behind the diagnosis. Basically her brain has a "software glitch" but the hardware is pristine. So how, and why is it causing the left side of her body to physically fail during flare-ups? Erum shares her harrowing and resilient story, from a terrifying ER visit where doctors suspected a brain tumor or MS, to the "magic trick" test that finally led to her FND diagnosis. We discuss the profound connection between her condition and a history of severe childhood trauma, including growing up as a child of deaf adults (CODA) and surviving abuse. Plus, we talk about the healing power of boxing and how FND finally forced her to stop people-pleasing.You can watch this entire episode over on YouTube!Follow Sickboy on Instagram, TikTok and Discord.

On this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions Dr. Michael Karlfeldt is joined by Jeannine Walston who recounts her decades-long journey with a brain tumor, beginning with a shocking diagnosis in 1998 that led to three awake brain surgeries and a sequence of evolving treatments. She situates her story within a broader philosophy of integrative cancer care, emphasizing that true healing addresses mind, body, and spirit. Her narrative blends medical detail with lived experience, framing resilience and self-care as essential companions to clinical interventions.The conversation traces her early treatment arc: initial surgery after an MRI revealed an oligo astrocytoma, followed by cognitive rehabilitation and regular MRIs. As her tumor recurred, she navigated complex decisions and medical systems, seeking perspectives from neuro-oncologists at UCSF and Stanford while also exploring complementary approaches. This period included time in Washington, DC, work on Capitol Hill, and a deepening curiosity about nontraditional therapies that could augment standard care.Walston's treatment path advanced further in California, culminating in a third awake surgery in 2013 at UCLA and participation in innovative protocols. She describes combining radiation, oral chemotherapy, and a dendritic cell-based vaccine—personalized immunotherapy designed to marshal the immune system against the tumor. The discussion highlights promising outcomes associated with dendritic cell vaccines for aggressive brain cancers and underscores the value of multidisciplinary teams aligning evidence-based medicine with supportive practices.Parallel to the medical story runs a thread of personal growth. Walston speaks candidly about a dark period unrelated to cancer and the difficult inner work of cultivating self-love, gratitude, and resilience. She argues that sustainable well-being requires more than disease avoidance: it depends on quality sleep, nourishing diet, movement, stress reduction, and the courage to practice these habits consistently. In her view, neuroplasticity offers the scientific backbone—repeated, intentional behaviors can rewire thought patterns and support better emotional and physical health.Today, as a cancer coach, Jeannine Walston helps patients and caregivers build informed, holistic plans. She outlines practical steps: assemble a care team, evaluate options rigorously, and integrate supportive modalities like breathwork, meditation, music, and community connections. By sharing client stories and concrete tactics, she translates her experience into guidance that empowers others. The episode closes on a hopeful note—advances in treatments continue, and with integrative care, social support, and daily intentional practices, people can cultivate a life oriented toward healing and purpose alongside medical care.Jeannine Walston shares her 27-year journey with a brain tumor, including three awake surgeries and evolving treatments that shaped her philosophy of integrative care.She details moving from initial diagnosis and cognitive rehab to exploring both academic neuro-oncology (UCSF, Stanford, UCLA) and complementary therapies to support healing.A major milestone was her 2013 UCLA treatment combining radiation, oral chemotherapy, and a personalized dendritic cell vaccine aimed at amplifying immune response to the tumor.Beyond medicine, she emphasizes daily practices—sleep, nutrition, movement, stress reduction, gratitude, and self-love—as foundations for resilience and well-being.Now a cancer coach, she helps patients and caregivers build informed, holistic plans that blend evidence-based treatments with practical, compassionate support systems._____________________Grab my book A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health Threat - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-power-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-within-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2----Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

Bioelectronic medicine is changing how we treat inflammation, autoimmunity, and chronic disease, and this episode shows you exactly how nerve stimulation could redefine human performance, longevity, and brain optimization. You will learn how electricity, neurotransmitters, and targeted neural pathways can replace drugs, control inflammation, and help you hack the vagus nerve with precision instead of guesswork. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey is joined by Kevin J. Tracey, MD, president and CEO of the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research at Northwell Health, pioneer of vagus nerve research, and author of The Great Nerve. He is one of the world's most cited scientists in inflammation and neuroscience, and his discoveries created the field now known as bioelectronic medicine. He identified the therapeutic action of anti TNF antibodies, mapped the inflammatory reflex, and revealed how vagus nerve signaling controls immunity. With more than 450 scientific publications and over 120 U.S. patents, he is a trusted authority whose work drives the future of anti-aging, functional medicine, metabolism, and neural therapies. Dr. Tracey and Host Dave Asprey explore how the vagus nerve truly operates, why it contains 200,000 fibers with different functions, and what happens when you stimulate specific pathways that regulate inflammation, HRV, neurotransmitters, and immune signaling. You will learn how nerve impulses transmit information, how voltage gated ion channels shape behavior and biology, and why certain forms of stimulation create measurable improvements in mitochondria, metabolic control, sleep optimization, and emotional regulation. They break down the science behind surgical vagus nerve implants, focused ultrasound, gamma entrainment, cytokine control, and real neuromodulation. They also explore why cold plunging, breath work, HRV training, nootropics, and consumer devices vary so widely in their effects, and how to evaluate these tools with practical biohacking frameworks. You will hear what actually works, what remains experimental, and what the next decade of nerve based therapies could unlock for brain optimization, longevity, ketosis, fasting, supplements, and AI guided interventions in human biology. You'll Learn: • How vagus nerve stimulation reduces inflammation through the inflammatory reflex • Why bioelectronic medicine can replace drugs in autoimmune conditions • How nerve fibers relay electrical and chemical signals inside the body • Why cold immersion, breath work, and HRV training activate specific vagal pathways • How 40 hertz gamma entrainment may influence cognitive decline • Which stimulation methods have clinical validation and which do not • Why high vagal tone is linked to better metabolism, immunity, and emotional stability • What future nerve based technologies may unlock for human performance Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

In this episode of the Care to Change Podcast, April Bordeau welcomes back Teresa Land, therapist and clinical supervisor at Care to Change, for an inspiring conversation on the practice of gratitude journaling.Teresa shares how she first leaned into journaling during the difficult days of COVID, discovering it as a God-led practice that shifted her focus from anxiety to hope. She explains how journaling is more than making a list—it's about slowing down, engaging both sides of the brain, and allowing gratitude to shape our perspective.Together, April and Teresa explore practical ways to begin, prompts that make reflection meaningful, and how gratitude journaling can transform not only how we see ourselves but also how we connect with God and others. This practice, though simple, has the power to bring calm, deepen faith, and build resilience.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why gratitude journaling is more than “making a list”How writing can help slow racing thoughts and steady your heartPractical prompts to guide reflection (using all five senses, people, places, and ordinary gifts)How gratitude shifts our perspective from scarcity to sufficiencyThe overlap of Scripture, science, and gratitude in shaping peace of mindWhy journaling is personal—your practice can be as unique as you areSimple tips to make gratitude a daily rhythm in your lifeResources & Mentions:In All Things Give Thanks by Charles Stanley (gratitude journal)Spiritual Practices for the Brain by Anne Kertz KernionOne Thousand Gifts by Ann VoskampThe YouVersion Bible App (gratitude devotionals and reading plans)Contact us online here.

Send us a textA stuffed animal that answers back. A kind voice that “understands.” A tutor that lives in a fictional town. AI characters are everywhere, and they're changing how kids learn, play, and bond with media. We sat down with Dr. Sonia Tiwari, children's media researcher and former game character designer, to unpack how to welcome these tools into kids' lives without losing what matters most.Sonia breaks down what truly makes an AI character: a personality, a backstory, and the new twist of two‑way interactivity. From chatbots and smart speakers to social robots and virtual influencers, we trace how each format affects attention, trust, and learning. Then we get practical. We talk through how to spot manipulative backstories (“I'm your best friend” is a red flag), when open‑ended chat goes wrong, and why short, purposeful sessions keep curiosity high and dependence low.For caregivers wary of AI, Sonia offers a powerful reframe: opting out cedes the space to designs that won't put kids first. Early, honest AI literacy, taught like other life skills, protects children from deepfakes, overfamiliar bots, and data oversharing.If you care about safe, joyful learning with technology, this conversation gives you a clear checklist and a calm path forward.

Your brain believes whatever you tell it, and if you've been feeding it negative self-talk for years, it's become an expert at playing that out. In this episode, learn how to become a detective of your own thoughts, catching yourself in the moment when the mental spiral begins with "I can't do this" or "this is too much." Discover the simple but powerful technique of mental erasure and replacement that can rewire your internal dialogue. We also explore why setbacks aren't signs you should quit, but rather the world's way of showing you you're slightly off track. Master the art of using obstacles as course corrections instead of reasons to give up, and watch how quickly your outcomes change when your self-talk supports your success instead of sabotaging it.

Scientists have found the first compelling evidence that cognitive training can boost levels of a brain chemical that typically declines as people age. The results of this 10-week study back earlier animal research showing that environments that stimulate the brain can increase levels of certain neurotransmitters. And other studies of people have suggested that cognitive training can improve thinking and memory. So how does it all work? And by how much does it all work?

Managing ADHD during the holidays takes more than willpower—it takes understanding your brain and planning around it with compassion. When I started researching ADHD to help one of my kids, I didn't expect to discover that I had it too. But learning how my brain works has changed everything about how I approach motherhood, especially during the busiest season of the year.   In this episode, I'm joined by Amy Marie Hann, author of Master the Mundane, to talk about how ADHD shows up in motherhood and how we can create calmer, more intentional rhythms through the chaos of the holidays. Amy's wisdom helped me see my brain with more grace and gave me tools to protect my energy instead of pushing past my limits. Even if you don't have ADHD, this conversation will help you navigate the mental load of motherhood with more clarity, calm, and self-kindness. In this episode you'll learn:

We live in a world that glorifies speed, noise, and constant doing. But what if the secret to thinking better, leading better, and living better is actually found in the moments when we stop? In this episode, Dr. Bray dives into the neuroscience of stillness; why your brain needs quiet to perform at its best, and how doing nothing may be the most productive thing you can do. He will share the story of a high-performing executive who thought he was burning out, when in fact, his brain was begging for a break. We'll explore what happens in your mind when you slow down, how silence rewires your focus, and why some of your best ideas appear in the shower, on a walk, or in moments of calm. If your brain feels full but your clarity is fading, this episode will change how you think about rest. Because stillness isn't the absence of work, it's the space where your best thinking begins.   Quotes by Dr. Bray "Rest is not a luxury. Stillness is not a luxury. It's a biology." "Because in all the noise of modern life, stillness is where clarity, insight, and performance are born." "Stillness isn't the absence of productivity. It's the very foundation of it." "Your brain actually performs better when you slow down and stop."

The Apostle Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 9:7 that "God loves a cheerful giver." And we've seen that throughout this series—giving changes lives, both for those who receive and for those who give. But here's something interesting: science agrees. Research shows that helping others doesn't just strengthen communities—it also transforms our health. Acts of kindness can boost our resilience, lower stress, and even help us live longer. Today, I'm joined by health and science journalist Nicole Karlis, author of "Your Brain on Altruism." In her book, she explores how generosity lights up our brains, improves our well-being, and nurtures a culture of caring. We'll talk about why crises often bring out extraordinary generosity, what the latest science says about altruism, and how we can sustain caring for one another even after the crisis passes.

In this episode of The Doctor Coach School™ Podcast, I'm breaking down a concept I coach on constantly: that inner voice you label as your self-saboteur. The one that questions you, slows you down, tells you you're not good enough, and convinces you to procrastinate.Inside The Doctor Coach School™, I call this part of your brain your inner cave person—your primitive COO. And today I'm teaching you a new way to understand her, listen to her, and work with her instead of fighting against her.Because despite how it feels, your brain isn't the enemy. She's actually on your side—and the minute you learn to respond to her instead of ignoring her, everything in your business changes.What I CoverCEO Brain vs. COO Brain: your visionary self vs. your cave-person COO who wants to make sure you don't crash and burn.Why your cave person gets louder when you ignore her questions.Procrastination as a shutdown, not a flaw: it's your COO pausing operations because you haven't answered her concerns.How to move forward by asking your brain, “What are you worried about?” and answering honestly instead of pushing through.Inside DCSI also take a moment to celebrate Dr. Tiffany, one of our DCS students who recently signed another client. When she joined, she had made $0 in her coaching business. Now she's thriving—because she believes deeply in her clients and sees not only who they are, but who they're becoming.This is exactly what we teach inside the school. If you want this kind of growth, apply now for the next enrollment of The Doctor Coach School™ Certification Program: www.thedoctorcoachschool.com/applynowLet's Connect: On Instagram On Facebook On LinkedIn On TikTok On my website

War begins in the human mind long before it unfolds on the battlefield. In this episode, Michael Shermer sits down with Nicholas Wright, a neurologist, neuroscientist, security strategist, and advisor to the Pentagon, to explore one of the biggest questions of our time: why do humans fight, and how does the brain shape violence, leadership, and geopolitical decision-making? Nicholas Wright is a member of the Royal Colleges of Physicians and a neuroscientist who researches the brain, technology, and security at University College London, Georgetown University, and the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, DC. He worked as a neurology doctor in London and Oxford, and has published numerous academic papers which have been covered by the BBC and The New York Times. His new book is Warhead: How the Brain Shapes War and War Shapes the Brain.

AI can feel like the ultimate shortcut – no blank pages, no stuck moments. But what happens when you hand over too much of the thinking? In this Quick Win, I chat with business professor and author Scott Anthony about how he uses AI as a sparring partner for ideas, and why keeping ownership of the hard thinking is essential if we want to stay sharp. Scott and I discuss: Why AI can easily replace the discomfort that leads to original thinking How Scott uses multiple AI models (ChatGPT and Claude) to brainstorm from different perspectives The importance of setting context and personas when prompting Where Scott draws the line between useful AI help and losing his “thinking muscle” A simple test to check if you’ve outsourced too much of your thought process KEY QUOTES “Use AI to brainstorm, to challenge, to widen the lens – but keep ownership of the hard thinking.” “Once you stop struggling with the blank page, you risk losing the very skill that makes your ideas valuable.” Check out Scott’s new book Epic Disruptions.
