Podcasts about brain science

Description:Late in the nineties, Dov Baron walked on stage in Vancouver before a few hundred strangers who had, it seemed, already made up their minds about him. Fifteen minutes in, with nothing landing, he stopped, walked to the edge of the stage, sat down, and told them the truth: he was there to serve, and he was clearly missing something. Within a couple of minutes, the whole room leaned in. For years he called that moment close to magic.It wasn't magic. And that, it turns out, is the better story, because it can now be measured.This is Part One of a two-parter, and it stays deliberately on solid, peer-reviewed ground. The claim is simple and startling: the field between us is real, and it shows up in the lab. For a century, brain science studied one lonely brain at a time; second-person neuroscience finally wired up two people at once, and a hidden world opened. Storytellers' and listeners' brains couple when communication works and uncouple the instant it fails. Mothers' and babies' brainwaves fall into sync on eye contact, though the researchers are careful to say this is not telepathy; it runs on ordinary signals. Even two pendulum clocks on the same wall drift into a shared rhythm. It is called sympathetic resonance, and it is everywhere.Dov also handles the most over-hyped idea in the field, mirror neurons, honestly: the finding is real, the cathedral built on top of it is shaky. And he leaves you with something you can feel tonight, a coherent bodily state you can tune with slow breathing at around six breaths a minute.Then, one night in 1914, the whole thing scaled up to thousands. The state you carry is the state you bring into every room. This is the ground. Part Two walks off the edge of it.Episode highlights:The stage night that ended Dov's keynote "presentations" for goodThe 2010 study showing two brains couple, and uncouple the instant communication failsWhy mother and baby brainwaves sync on eye contact, and why the researchers insist it is not telepathyThe pop-neuroscience darling that serious scientists spent years walking backThe one coherence state you can tune tonight, at about six breaths a minuteLinksWrite to Dov: dov@dovbaron.com (subject line: The Click)Website; https://DovBaron.comThe Dov Baron Show (interviews) https://DovBaron.com/podcastsBook, The Art of Belonging: Subscribe, and Part Two of Episode Two drops next.Episode 1 in this Series: The Biology of Meaning:About the showThe Polymathic Perspective is a documentary-style solo podcast where Dov Baron examines the emotional logic beneath power, culture, identity, and meaning, drawing on psychology, neuroscience, geopolitics, and philosophy.

Your child isn't choosing to melt down. By the time behavior shows up, the brain has already decided, and the thinking brain is out of the room. Dr. Lisa Riegel explains why schools most often miss this, and what to do instead.   Tune in to learn:   Why context comes before any behavior plan Harold and Bob: a simple brain story any child can learn Why sending a child to the principal keeps the behavior going What intellectual safety means, and why endless "pre-academic" classrooms fail it   About Lisa: Dr. Lisa Riegel is an educator, researcher, and author of NeuroWell and Aspirations to Operations. She has spent two decades helping schools apply brain science.

One in four patients currently being considered for life support withdrawal may actually be fully conscious, they just can't signal it. That single finding, from a landmark New England Journal of Medicine study, is the practical stakes behind one of the most philosophically rich conversations in this series. Dr. Christof Koch - former president of the Allen Institute for Brain Science, 25-year collaborator with Nobel laureate Francis Crick, and founder of the startup Intrinsic Powers - joins Craig Smith to discuss why the hard problem of consciousness remains unsolved, what integrated information theory predicts about which systems can and cannot be conscious, and why his own mystical experience three years ago shifted his view from physicalism toward idealism. The conversation is grounded throughout in empirical work: Koch explains how Intrinsic Powers uses brain complexity measurements - sending magnetic pulses into the brain and measuring the complexity of the electrical response - to detect consciousness in behaviorally unresponsive patients, providing clinical teams and families with one critical bit of information at the most consequential moment of their lives. The episode closes with Koch's most personal revelation: a mystical experience in which the boundary between self and world dissolved and he felt direct acquaintance with the idea that everything is ultimately mental, an experience he is careful to distinguish from supernatural claims, but which shifted his metaphysical view in ways he describes with unusual candor for a scientist of his standing.

What should you do when your child is overwhelmed, melting down, refusing to cooperate, or acting like they cannot handle something you know they can do?In part two of this conversation, Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge explains how parents can help kids build a more regulated nervous system before, during, and after stressful moments. She shares why parents should regulate first, connect second, and correct only after a child is calm enough to think and learn. Here's part one if you missed it. You'll also learn why constantly rescuing kids from discomfort can prevent them from building stress tolerance, how to support a child without immediately fixing the problem, and why small daily regulation practices can make a big difference over time.Dr. Roseann shares a simple 4-7-8 breathing practice parents can use throughout the day to lower stress and build greater nervous system capacity! This is just one of at least 5 solid techniques Dr. Ro shares with us, things you can implement right away at home. Don't forget to check out Dr. Roseann's new book, The Dysregulated Child.Resources We Mention for Helping Your Dysregulated ChildDr. Roseann's book The Dysregulated Child releases 9/22/26!

Dr. Cindra Kamphoff reveals that learning to act with confidence, even when self-doubt shows up, can change how you perform and live.

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Stephan Guyenet, an obesity researcher with a Ph.D. in neuroscience who spent 12 years studying the science of body fatness.  His groundbreaking work has completely changed how I think about fat loss and nutrition science. This conversation is one I've been looking forward to for years. Dr. Guyenet challenges one of the most popular narratives in health today: that carbs and insulin are the primary drivers of fat gain. We dive deep into the scientific evidence that contradicts this widely-believed hypothesis, and it's eye-opening. If you've ever wondered why the low-carb movement became so dominant despite conflicting research, this episode will give you answers. In this podcast, Dr. Guyenet and I discuss: Why the carbohydrate-insulin hypothesis of obesity doesn't hold up to scientific scrutiny How animal studies prove dietary fat is just as fattening as carbs without raising insulin Why lean populations worldwide eat high-carb diets and stay lean (the Japan paradox) What calorie-controlled metabolic ward studies reveal about low-carb vs. low-fat diets How Gary Taubes' narrative became mainstream despite contradicting research evidence The evolutionary mismatch theory: why our brains misfire in the modern food environment How dopamine and brain reward circuits drive overeating of junk food Why controlling your food environment is more powerful than willpower The satiety per calorie equation and why adding fat to meals backfires Practical strategies to lose fat by engineering your food environment and choosing whole foods  

I sat down with Bill Benjamin to break down his research on the “last 8%”—the small but crucial part of a difficult conversation or decision we often hold back because it feels risky. Bill shares how the idea started with two executives, then expanded through studies of 34,000+ people, showing we leave an average of 7.56% unsaid, and why our brains treat conflict like a threat. We talk about recognizing last 8% moments through body cues and behaviors, the two pillars of high-performing teams (connection and courage), and common defaults like avoiding or “making a mess.” We also cover why psychological safety alone isn't enough, how leaders can model curiosity and set team norms, and why these human skills matter even more as AI adoption struggles due to fear and disengagement.00:07 Why We Hold Back01:33 What the Research Shows02:36 Brain Science of Fear03:06 Last Eight Percent Moments03:42 Individual vs Environment05:03 Body Awareness Framework07:58 Beyond Psychological Safety09:53 Avoiders and Make a Mess11:10 Skillful Hard Conversations12:32 Founder Modeling and Norms14:50 AI Makes Humans Matter18:51 Disengagement and Connection20:09 Who Does It Best22:20 Bill Personal Turning Point24:06 Toughest Partner MomentConnect with Bill: • www.ihhp.com• https://www.linkedin.com/in/bill-benjamin-12b671/Connect with Raul: • Work with Raul: https://dogoodwork.io • Free Growth Resources: https://dogoodwork.io/resources• Connect with Raul on LinkedIn (DMs open): https://www.linkedin.com/in/dogoodwork/ 

Your brain doesn't run two demanding tasks at once — it switches between them, and every switch charges a toll in time, accuracy and mental energy. David Watts unpacks the research on switch costs, attention residue and the myth of the natural multitasker, from Meyer's lab to Sophie Leroy's work to the Stanford media multitasking study. Then he lays out the fix: not more discipline, but a design that removes the option to switch.

A growing number of people are finding stress relief in sound baths. It involves lying down, closing your eyes and letting waves of sound wash over you — usually the sounds of gongs, crystal bowls, rattles and other instruments. Many people who have experienced a sound bath say it calms their mind and puts them in a state of deep relaxation that can also help with anxiety, sleep problems and even pain. MPR News host Angela Davis talks with her guests about some of the benefits and the science behind the good vibrations. Guests: Diana Parra Perez provides sound healing, mindfulness practices and retreats through her business Resonancia Sagrada, with a focus on Latino and Spanish-speaking communities. She is a senior scientist in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis. A native of Bogotá, Colombia, she lives in St. Louis, Mo.

Change is part of every leader's job, but resistance is not always a communication problem.In this episode, Dean Newlund talks with Travis Hahler about the neuroscience behind resistance and how leaders can help people move forward through change. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Travis Hahler discuss:The brain's response to uncertainty and why change can trigger resistanceNeurological barriers that shape transitions and influence responsesLoss, ambiguity, and emotional reactions during changeLeadership approaches to resistance and creating room for adaptationStaying curious as new technologies reshape how we work Key Takeaways:Resistance is often neurological rather than willful refusal; think in terms of routine, threat bias, and ambiguity aversion.Diagnose perceived loss by naming what people may fear losing, such as control, competence, relationships, or comfort.Create space and structure for adaptation with pacing, repetition, and safe opportunities to practice and fail.Use curiosity to surface root causes by asking what people need and what information or support is missing.Balance learning with delivery by protecting time for training and experimentation while keeping essential work moving. "Every change equals loss. And so it just naturally is something that our brain kind of pushes against.” — Travis Hahler About Travis Hahler:Travis D. Hahler transforms how Fortune 500 companies navigate change by revealing a startling truth: Resistance isn't rebellion—it's biology. As Senior Director of Global Strategy and Transformation at Salesforce and Founder of The Neurological Nomad, Hahler brings neuroscience and business acumen to organizational transformation. Over fifteen years, Hahler has guided more than one hundred companies through successful transformations.

Ready for the episode that might just rewire how you think about therapy? We're heading straight to the cerebellum, the tiny, mighty brain region that holds 80% of your client's neurons despite taking up just 10% of total brain volume. If you work with kids with childhood apraxia of speech, developmental language disorder, autism, ADHD, stuttering, dyslexia, or speech sound disorders... this episode is for you. Your caseload's cerebellum is talking. It's time we start listening. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why the cerebellum matters so much more than we've been taught, and why “drill and kill” isn't reaching it • The surprising overlap between developmental coordination disorder and the communication disorders already on your caseload • The 2022 research study that used functional MRI to prove task-oriented movement activities can literally grow gray matter in the cerebellum in just 10 weeks • The 5-part “secret sauce” of the CO-OP approach (Task-Oriented Movement Therapy), and exactly how to bring it into your sessions Monday morning • A real, hands-on example using Pete the Cat: Rocking in My School Shoes to show you how goal-setting, environment (not hands-on) cueing, multi-step problem solving, varied movement, and cognitive flexibility come together in one activity • How to layer your actual speech and language targets into these movement-based sessions without losing focus on either The 5 Ingredients of the Secret Sauce 1. A clear goal: dopamine-driven motivation that makes learning stick 2. Touch the environment, not the child: let their body do the problem-solving 3. A multi-step process: problem, then plan, then action, then check (real executive function practice) 4. Multiple, varied movements: keeping the cerebellum working, not coasting 5. Cognitive flexibility: changing what “success” looks like from one step to the next This isn't about abandoning your speech and language goals. It's about treating the whole child, cerebellum included, so the change you create actually lasts. Want the Ready-Made Version of This Activity? You just heard how this works in theory, but you don't have to build it from scratch. The exact Pete the Kitty movement activity (and dozens more like it) is already sitting inside the SIS membership, done-for-you and ready to print for your next session. If you're tired of reinventing therapy at 9 pm on a Sunday, this is your sign. Inside SIS, you get the research-backed, whole-child activities that target the cerebellum and your speech-language goals, so you can walk into every session knowing exactly what to do and why it works. You don't have to do this alone. Come join your people.

What if Alzheimer's doesn't begin when you start forgetting names or struggling with memory but decades earlier, when subtle changes are happening in your metabolism, inflammation, and brain?   With Alzheimer's in my own family, this conversation with Dr. David Perlmutter felt especially personal. Dr. Perlmutter is a board-certified neurologist, six-time New York Times bestselling author, and one of the leading voices challenging how we think about brain health and cognitive decline. His new book, Brain Defenders, explores emerging research around microglia — the immune cells of the brain — and why they may hold an important key to protecting our brains as we age.   We dive into why Dr. Perlmutter believes we need to start thinking about Alzheimer's prevention in our 30s and 40s, the surprising connection between metabolic health and the brain, and how our everyday choices may influence whether our brain's immune cells protect us or work against us. We also get into the role of ultra-processed foods, blood sugar and insulin, the gut microbiome, environmental toxins, sleep, inflammation, mitochondria, vitamin D, and some of the biomarkers Dr. Perlmutter believes are worth knowing. And for women, we explore what happens to the brain during menopause, the latest conversation around estrogen and hormone replacement therapy, and why women face a greater risk of Alzheimer's.   Dr. Perlmutter also shares fascinating new research that could change how we think about Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, MS, traumatic brain injury, and other neurological conditions — including why the future of brain health may look very different from the traditional “wait for symptoms, then treat” approach. This episode left me feeling incredibly hopeful about how much influence we may actually have over the future of our brains. If you've ever worried about your memory, your family history, or simply want to stay sharp and resilient as you age, this is a conversation you don't want to miss. Key Moments You'll Love ✨ :

.Susie spun the birthday wheel at her favorite dive bar, and she'll be riding that high for a while. Sarah watched a documentary called Big Chicken where a comedian looks into the health effects of fast food fried chicken for 28 days, and we learn what he experienced by eating a ton of fried chicken. We discuss the ways your personality can change if you want it to, and we consider how our personalities changed after we were on reality tv. Sarah explains why she is accused of being a "pick me" girl, why she chooses optimism, and how she adjusted her natural tendencies over time. Susie shares what it felt like when she went on tv at 18 and how it changed how she experienced the world and gave her social anxiety in certain environments. We debate whether people should be making out in public, and discuss the rise in people policing public displays of affection.Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Get 40% off your first order PLUS get a free item in every box for life when you go to https://www.hungryroot.com/braincandy and use code braincandyGet $10 off your first month's subscription and free shipping when you visit https://nutrafol.com and enter promo code BRAINCANDYTDM-RESERVATION: 1.

You're only consciously aware of 100 of them.  Neurosurgeon Dr. James Doty sits down with Lewis to explain why that gap is the reason most people's manifestation attempts go nowhere. He's operated on physical brains and studied the mind for decades, and he says most people are just stumbling through life without ever learning how to get access to their own subconscious. There's a reason a violinist's brain physically changes shape around the hand they play with. Doty says the same thing happens with meditation.

Watch the video and share your thoughts in the Zion Lab community Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Highlights Scott discusses the intersection of organizational behavior and church leadership. He shares insights on effective leadership qualities, the importance of creating a positive environment, and the balance between achieving goals and fostering relationships within church communities. Key Insights Outward Focus: Effective leaders prioritize the needs and well-being of others, creating a connection that fosters trust and engagement. Positive Environment: Leaders should cultivate a supportive and uplifting atmosphere, which enhances motivation and collaboration among members. Relational Leadership: Leadership is fundamentally relational; outstanding leaders are not necessarily the most technically skilled but excel in building relationships and fostering a sense of belonging. Cognitive Dynamics: The brain’s analytical and empathetic networks are antagonistic; leaders must be aware of emotional climates to encourage creativity and openness rather than stress and defensiveness. Charisma vs. Competence: Charismatic leaders can inspire hope, but relying solely on charisma can lead to overlooking effective leadership qualities that are not immediately visible. Leadership Applications Storytelling: Latter-day Saint leaders can use personal stories to illustrate the impact of ministering, helping members connect emotionally and understand the importance of their roles in the community. Cultural Focus: By emphasizing a culture of belonging and support, leaders can motivate members to engage in ministering efforts naturally, rather than through pressure or performance metrics. Awareness of Bias: Leaders should recognize their biases when selecting individuals for leadership roles, ensuring that they look beyond charisma and traditional expectations to identify those who truly embody the principles of effective leadership.

That feeling of not quite recognising yourself after your baby arrives has a biological explanation. Pregnancy reshapes the structure of the brain, and those changes can still be measured years down the track. What you're experiencing is your brain doing exactly what it's built to do.If you've ever said out loud that you feel like a different person since becoming a mum, you're describing something researchers can now see on a scan. Understanding what's happening in there changes how the whole experience feels.In this episode of The Science of Motherhood, Dr Renee White sits down with Dr Elseline Hoekzema, neuroscientist and head of the Pregnancy Brain Lab at Amsterdam University Medical Center, to unpack what pregnancy does to the maternal brain. Together they explore the changes to brain tissue first mapped in 2017, what those changes mean for how you think and feel, and what shifts differently the second time around.Elseline also works through the questions that flooded in after Renee shared her research on Instagram, covering what might happen with a third or fourth baby, spacing between siblings, pregnancy loss, and what changes for fathers and adoptive parents. She's honest about how much this field still has left to uncover.You'll Hear About:What happens to grey matter during pregnancyWhy the changes peak in the third trimesterHow a second pregnancy rewires different brain networksWhat the research shows about perinatal depressionWhy your instincts are worth listening toYour brain has been quietly reorganising itself to meet the exact demands of the life you're now living. Knowing that gives you something solid to hold onto on the days you feel furthest from yourself.Share this with a friend who's been saying she doesn't feel like herself since having her baby.

"Eighty percent of what we are thinking, we are not consciously thinking." Education researcher and author Dr. Lisa Riegel joins host Josh Seldin to break down how understanding brain science can revolutionize workplace culture, human motivation, and organizational change. Dr. Riegel reveals why traditional management approaches often fail by ignoring how the human brain processes stress and value, and introduces actionable strategies to transition employees from passive compliance to deep co-creation. Josh and Lisa explore the mechanics of human behavior under pressure, the friction caused by misaligned values, and how to harness her 8C Commitment Framework to smooth resistance to change. From the power of strategic micro-celebrations to overcoming our brain's threat response, this conversation provides leaders with a practical, science-backed roadmap for creating environments where teams feel connected, capable, and motivated to grow. Key Takeaways: ✅ The Motivation Equation: How balancing expectancy and individual values transforms basic task compliance into genuine engagement. ✅ Decoding the Brain's Threat Response: Understanding how the amygdala and thalamus drive workplace behavior and conflict during times of change. ✅ The 8C Commitment Framework: A step-by-step model designed to eliminate organizational friction and align human systems for success. ✅ Beyond the Bottom Line: Why celebrating behavioral outputs rather than just end outcomes builds sustainable, high-performing cultures. ✅ Practical Culture Rituals: Simple, low-friction habits like "100 Ways in 100 Days" and "Pity & Pride" to elevate peer recognition and build collective efficacy. ✅ Leading for the Follower: Shifting from rigid leadership styles to adaptable, human-centered approaches that meet the true needs of your team.

Have you ever eaten a bag of chips or a bowl of ice cream even though you want to lose some weight and you weren't physically hungry? Or skipped the walk you planned to take? Or stayed up late scrolling on your phone even though you promised yourself you would go to bed earlier that night?So why did you give in to the urge and what can you do about it?In Part 1 of the three-part Name It to Navigate It series, Amy introduces affect labeling—the skill and practice of putting feelings into words. Research suggests that when you name your emotions, activity in the amygdala (your brain's alarm system) may decrease while your prefrontal cortex and specifically areas involved in language and self-control become more active.That shift can create something incredibly valuable: a pause between what you feel and what you do next.Why Naming Emotions Supports Better Health HabitsYou may already know that sleep, movement, nutrition, hydration, social connection, and stress management support long-term brain health.But knowing what to do is not the same as consistently doing it.An unnamed emotion can drive late-night eating, doomscrolling, sleep procrastination, skipped workouts, social withdrawal, or anxious symptom-checking. In this episode, you'll discover:00:00 — Why you reach for food, skip movement, or scroll late at night01:15 — The gap between knowing and doing03:00 — The unnamed emotions behind common unwanted behaviors05:10 — Why “What's wrong with me?” is the wrong question06:00 — What affect labeling actually means08:20 — The brain science behind naming emotions10:30 — How two words can create a pause before action13:20 — What to do when a memory lapse triggers Alzheimer's fear16:00 — Why family history and genetics are not the whole story18:10 — How emotional awareness connects to healthy habits21:00 — Your next step and what's coming in Part 2Listen now and learn how to stop reacting, start responding, and make your brain-health habits more intentional.Resources MentionedDownload the Practice TLC worksheet:https://moxie-club.com/tlcLearn more about Amy and download brain-health resources:https://amylangcoaching.comOrder Thoughts Are Habits Too and read a free preview:https://thoughtsarehabitstoo.comSubscribe on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@happyandhealthywithamyFollow Amy on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/amylangcoachingFollow Amy on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/amylangcoachingRESOURCES:Download the FREE Excerpt of Thoughts Are Habits TooPurchase Thoughts Are Habits TooBook a FREE Discovery Call with AmyDownload After Mom's Alzheimer's Diagnosis: The First 8 Things to Know and learn how to support her with more calm, clarity, and confidence.Download the RESTORED Protocol: Eight Essential Protective Factors to Build an Alzheimer's-Resistant BrainSchedule your Breakthrough Roadmap session with AmyFollow Amy on Instagram @amylangcoaching  and on Facebook @amylangcoachingSubscribe to Amy's YouTube channel @happyandhealthywithamy

How to Stop Teen Push Back: The Brain Science of Conflict Management Picture this: It's Tuesday night. You ask your teenager a simple, reasonable question about their homework or chores. Suddenly, you're locked in a high-stakes standoff. Doors slam, voices rise, and before you know it, you're launching into a passionate, well-meaning lecture that you know they aren't listening to. We've all been there. As parents of adolescents, it's easy to feel like every interaction is a potential landmine. But what if the secret to ending teen pushback isn't arguing louder or laying down the law harder? What if the key is actually understanding the brain science behind the blowup? In this episode of The Impactful Parent, host Kristina Campos sits down with Mitch Weisberg—seasoned educator, conflict resolution trainer, and author of Mindshifting: Conflict and Collaboration. Together, they break down why well-meaning lectures backfire and how science-backed questions can flip your household script from chaos to genuine collaboration.   Episode Chapters: 00:00 - The Tuesday night standoff & brain science behind blowups 02:00 - Why your brain leaves the building in survival mode 02:56 - Conflict languages & non-complimentary statements 04:22 - Why lectures always backfire with teenagers 06:26 - The 5 Conflict Styles (Compete, Avoid, Accommodate, Collaborate, Negotiate) 10:23 - Parenting as mini-experiments & learning from feedback 12:46 - 3 immediate mind-shift tools for reactive parents 16:36 - How to ask curiosity-driven questions instead of lecturing 20:47 - Using strengths-based feedback to lower defenses 22:38 - The "Perhaps I Can" technique to boost teen confidence 26:45 - Overview of Mindshifting: Conflict and Collaboration 29:13 - The #1 fundamental truth for overwhelmed parents  

This week, our Titans of Science series continues with neuropsychologist and author Adrian Owen. Adrian's work has focused on determining how different parts of the brain contribute to functions such as cognition and memory, and famously led to him being being able to communicate with a patient in a long-term vegetative state using a brain scanner. Here he retells the story, and explains the basis of what we call consciousness... Like this podcast? Please help us by supporting the Naked Scientists

In this episode, Jessie Cruickshank and Julia Schmaltz join me to talk about Becoming Good News and the argument at its center: that discipleship is less about acquiring information and trying harder and more about receiving; receiving a name and a story. We get into what happens in the brain when something finally gets named, why the sentences we say about ourselves function as theology, and how autobiographical memory shapes the story we think we're living in. We talk about the difference between receiving an identity and constructing one, why "receive" sounds like laziness to American ears, how healthy spiritual authority flows out of knowing who you are, and why loving your enemy turns out to be a requirement that starts in infancy rather than a skill reserved for the mature.Jessie Cruickshank is a Harvard-trained expert in the neuroscience of transformation. She founded Whoology to equip churches and leaders worldwide in brain-based discipleship. Author of Ordinary Discipleship and a sought-after speaker, Jessie weaves story, science, and faith to inspire lasting change. She lives in Colorado, where she enjoys mountain adventures with her husband.Julia Schmaltz is a storyteller and leader with three decades of ministry experience and serves as the chief operating officer of Identity Exchange, equipping others to live fearlessly in their true identity.

Here's How with Chris Allen Fruitful with Laura Dugger   Gospel Scripture: (all NIV) Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”   Romans 3:24 “and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”   Romans 3:25 (a) “God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood.”    Hebrews 9:22 (b) “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.”    Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”    Romans 5:11 “Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.”    John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”   Romans 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”    Luke 15:10 says “In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”   Romans 8:1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus”   Ephesians 1:13–14 “And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.”   Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“   Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“   Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

What if you have more influence over your thoughts, emotions, and healing than you realize? In this episode, I sit down with neurosurgeon, author, and podcast host Dr. Lee Warren to discuss the powerful connection between neuroscience, faith, and emotional healing. We talk about how our thoughts literally change the structure of our brains, why trauma does not have to define our future, and how God has given us both the responsibility and the ability to participate in our healing. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, grief, people-pleasing, overthinking, or a painful season that feels impossible to move through, this conversation offers both practical hope and biblical encouragement. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN [00:00] Why You Have More Power Over Your Thoughts Than You Think [04:00] What Self-Brain Surgery Is and Why It Matters [07:00] Why Trauma Doesn't Have to Define Your Future [10:00] The Connection Between Gratitude, Anxiety, and Brain Science [17:00] Dr. Lee's Personal Story of PTSD, Grief, and Healing [24:00] "Pick Up Your Mat and Walk": God's Invitation to Participate in Your Healing [28:00] How to Stop Participating in Your Own Demise [33:00] Getting Better Instead of Bitter: How Suffering Can Refine You RESOURCES: The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery by Dr. Lee Warren DrLeeWarren.com  The Dr. Lee Warren Podcast RELATED EPISODES: Ep 358: People Pleasing: Is This the Real Reason You're Exhausted + Overwhelmed? Ep 359: When Emotions Feel Scary: Practical Tools to Courageously Process What's Inside Ep 365: God Reveals So He Can Heal (And It's Time to Step Into That Healing) Send us Fan Mail

Episode 389: Mid-Year Reset for Women in Medical Device  Six months down, six to go — and if you're in medical device or field-based sales, I'm willing to bet the first half of this year felt productive on paper and quietly exhausting underneath. Not because you're doing something wrong. Because the job you're actually doing is bigger than the one on your job description. In this episode, we're naming that invisible weight, explaining what it's doing in your nervous system, and giving you a concrete reset you can use before your next hard meeting. What You'll Learn ✨ Why the exhaustion you feel by mid-year isn't random — and what's actually causing it neurologically ✨ The biology of burnout explained simply: your amygdala, your prefrontal cortex, and why "just relax" has never worked for anyone ✨ How cognitive reappraisal (a CBT tool) literally rewires your brain's stress response over time ✨ Why your gut instincts are pattern recognition — and why trusting them is a performance strategy, not woo ✨ A 3-step, 5-minute reset practice you can use in real time ✨ A journal prompt for the second half of the year that will change how you carry the load The Big Takeaway The load you've been carrying is real. The relationship labor, the emotional labor, the constant low hum of being the calm, capable one in every room — none of that shows up on the quota sheet. But the way your nervous system responds to it? That part you actually have leverage over. This one hits all four pillars of the RISE Method — Resilient Mindset, Inner Energy, Success Strategy, and Empowered Self-Trust — because a mid-year reset isn't a one-time fix. It's the rewrite.

In this episode of The Nonprofit Exchange, Hugh Ballou talks with Sally Mildren, CEO and Chief Strategist of CommonWell Marketing, about why even good missions often get ignored in a noisy, overloaded world. Sally explains that the problem is usually not the mission itself, but the lack of emotional connection, clarity, and recognition in the message. Drawing on brain science, marketing strategy, and practical nonprofit experience, Sally shows how people make quick subconscious decisions about whether a message is relevant, trustworthy, and meant for them. She challenges nonprofit leaders to stop overwhelming people with every program, campaign, and call to action, and instead communicate with one audience, one clear message, and one meaningful emotional connection at a time. The conversation explores the difference between representation and recognition, the importance of simplicity, and the “two-second test” every website, social post, email, appeal, and face-to-face message must pass. For nonprofit leaders, the message is clear: communication is not just information delivery; it is an act of leadership that builds trust, belonging, and action. Sally Mildren is the CEO and Chief Strategist of CommonWell Marketing, a strategy-driven marketing firm serving nonprofits, rural health organizations, and mission-driven brands. Her work helps leaders connect strategy, storytelling, brand clarity, customer experience, and sustainable growth so their organizations can communicate with greater relevance and impact. Sally is also the host of the Leadership Cafe podcast, where marketing leaders, nonprofit professionals, and small teams gather for practical insights and candid conversations about leading with confidence and creating real impact. Key Themes in This Episode Why good missions still get ignored when people do not feel personally connected to the message. How the brain filters information quickly and often subconsciously before people decide whether to pay attention. Why nonprofit messaging often becomes too organization-centered, focusing on programs, systems, awards, and wins instead of the audience's needs and identity. The difference between representation and recognition, and why people need to see themselves in the words, images, tone, and focus of the message. Why simplicity is one of the hardest and most important disciplines in nonprofit communication. How too many calls to action create confusion, fatigue, and inaction. Why emotion, surprise, and relevance are essential for earning attention and trust. Practical Takeaways for Nonprofit Leaders Start with the audience, not the organization. Ask, “Who is this for?” before creating any message. Speak to one person, one audience group, and one immediate need instead of trying to reach everyone at once. Reduce the number of words, images, and calls to action so the message can be processed quickly. Use images and stories that help the right person recognize themselves in the message. Watch engagement, traffic, bounce rates, conversions, and donation response as signals that your message is either connecting or missing the mark. Avoid panic messaging during financial uncertainty. Be intentional about what you need, who is most likely to engage, and what message will matter to them. Remember that a confused mind says no. Clarity builds trust and trust opens the door to action. Memorable Insights People often decide within seconds whether a message is for them or not. Recognition is more powerful than broad representation because it helps a specific person feel seen and understood. More content does not necessarily create more attention; it often creates more noise. The pathway to attention usually runs through emotion. Before pressing send, nonprofit leaders should ask: “Who is this for?” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Stephanie Salvilla so deeply loved - still loves - her baby boy, Gannon. In July 2009, after a week of disrupted routines and sleepless nights, her brain went on autopilot.

Dr. Trish believes life unfolds in seven-year chapters — and hers has been no exception. Her path to becoming a globally recognized cognitive neuroscientist wasn't linear: she started as a preschool teacher, became a speech-language pathologist, worked in schools, and eventually went back to school herself to teach at the college level. A lifelong curiosity about brain performance and the human condition — combined with raising five children — led Dr. Trish to a deeper calling. She grew passionate about bringing neuro-therapies to the next generation and realized she could create greater clinical impact through brain mapping and rewiring how people think. Her guiding philosophy says it all: “If you don't control your brain, it will control you.” Today, Dr. Trish is the founder of Dr. Trish Leigh & Co. and specializes in brain health, neurofeedback, and addiction recovery. Using qEEG brain mapping and neuroscience-based methods, she helps people heal overstimulated brains, break free from compulsive behaviors, and optimize focus, energy, relationships, and performance — and has helped thousands worldwide rewire their brains and reclaim their lives.

Are supernatural healings happening today? Science can't prove God was the cause of the healing, but it can show something miraculous happened. Dr. Joshua W. Brown is a professor of Psychological and Brain Science at Indiana University, where he directs the Cognitive Control Lab. He also co-founded the Global Medical Research Institute which performs peer reviewed research on claims of miraculous healing to support the idea that these things are in fact happening today. Today we dive into the placebo affect, healing in response to prayer, Josh's testimony of being healed of a malignant brain tumor, and his own personal experience contending for healing with others.
