Send us Fan MailWhat if everything you've been told about change, motivation, and stress is missing the most important piece — your brain?This week I'm joined by Lisa Riegel, educator by training, strategist by practice, and someone who has dedicated her career to translating brain science into language and tools that actually help people feel more self-aware, regulated, and in control. Lisa is the creator of the NeuroWell Framework and the Aspirations to Operations Commitment Framework, and whether she's working with Fortune 500 leaders, school systems, or individuals navigating their own lives, her message is the same: real change starts in the brain.In this conversation we cover so much ground, and I think you're going to find it as accessible and practical as I did. We talk about:Why 80% of the thinking happening in your brain right now is unconscious — and what that means for your behavior, your reactions, and your relationshipsMeet Bob and Harold — Lisa's brilliant, accessible way of explaining how your amygdala and thalamus work together to filter reality and trigger your stress responseThe four states of wakefulness (calm, alert, alarm, fear) and exactly what happens neurologically when you burn outWhy change is so hard — and why most change initiatives, in organizations and in our personal lives, fail before they even beginThe difference between outcome goals and action goals, and why that distinction is everythingWhy we don't know what our body feels like when we're happy — and a simple morning practice to start changing thatThe power of identifying not just what stresses you out, but why — and how uncovering the underlying fear gives you genuine self-controlWhy celebration is the most underused and misunderstood tool in leadership, parenting, and self-developmentHow to create your own resilient inner bubble in a world that feels increasingly out of controlLisa brings so much warmth and wisdom to this conversation, and her ability to take complex brain science and make it feel immediately usable is truly a gift. This one is for the leaders, the parents, the burnout survivors, and anyone who has ever wondered why they keep reacting in ways they don't intend to.Resources:Free Masterclass:  The Alchemy of the Perimenopause PortalAyurvedic Dosha Quick Reference GuideAbhyanga Self Massage GuideWeekend Nervous System ResetNourished For Resilience Workbook Find me at www.nourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme, “Redeeming Time.” Alex McFarland joined us to explain how redeeming time includes honoring God with our rest, responsibilities, and priorities while staying attentive to the Holy Spirit’s leading. Alex is a Christian apologist, author, evangelist, religion and culture analyst, national talk show host, and a youth expert. We also had Drew Dyck join us to explain how distractions steal our time and how Scripture, habits, and God’s grace help us redeem it for what matters. Drew is an acquisitions editor with Moody Publishers and a contributing editor for Christianity Today for Pastors. He is the author of “Your Future Self Will Thank You: Secrets to Self-Control from the Bible and Brain Science.” We invited our listeners to the “Redeem Time” Challenge to encourage you to use your time more intentionally and spiritually, focusing on productivity, purpose, rest, and honoring God, rather than wasting it. We then turned to the phone lines to hear from our listeners.

Welcome to the The Achievers Podcast. I'm your host, Amber Deibert, Performance Coach. I help enterprise sellers unlock their full potential by aligning their work with how they workout and cleaning up mindset trash, so they can sell more, stress less, and take back control of their time and success.   You replay a social interaction for the tenth time. You wake up at 2 am spiraling about something tiny. You try to logic your way out of it, and your brain refuses to listen. In this episode, I break down why logic does not work on a ruminating brain, the two networks in your head that cannot be turned on at the same time, and the exact Post-it Note I keep on my monitor to snap myself out of the spiral in seconds.  

“Placebo effects are real and mind-body effects are real, and there's a fairly large scientific literature on these things,” says Joshua W. Brown, Ph.D. 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 With decades of experience in computational neuroscience and over 79 peer-reviewed publications, he brings the same rigorous scientific methodology to extraordinary claims of healing that he applies to understanding the brain. 00:00 - A neuroscientist's brain tumor diagnosis 07:29 - Prayer with expectation 10:43 - The biology of belief 12:13 - Inside the Global Medical Research Institute 17:14 - Even known placebos still work 20:27 - The science of miracles  24:10 - Conversion disorders & the mind-body line 32:02 - The brain is a prediction machine 38:02 - How chronic stress writes itself into the body 41:18 - Why "just believe" doesn't work 43:22 - Healing happens in community 47:16 - When neuroscience met the Dalai Lama 50:26 - The morning practice that grounds his day Referenced in the episode:  To learn more about Brown, visit his website: https://joshbrownneuro.com/  Buy Brown's book here: https://a.co/d/07qL3LKj  To learn more Brown's research, or to report your own miracle, visit the Global Medical Research Institute website: https://www.globalmri.org/ We hope you enjoy this episode, and feel free to watch the full video on YouTube!

Can cannabis use during the teen years slow your child's cognitive development — even before you notice the signs?In this episode of the Where Parents Talk podcast, host Lianne Castelino speaks to neuroscientist and cannabis researcher Dr. Krista Lisdahl, Professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, who breaks down the findings of the largest long-term study of brain development in U.S. youth ever conducted.Dr. Lisdahl explains what the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study — tracking over 11,000 young people from ages 9 to 19 — reveals about cannabis, THC, and the developing teen brain. She discusses why adolescence is such a critical window for cognitive growth, what "blunted" development actually looks like in your teen's daily life, and how high-potency products like vaping oils and edibles raise the stakes.Parents will learn: what the warning signs of early cannabis use look like at home and school, how to have an honest, effective conversation with your teen about marijuana, when to seek professional help, what the difference between THC and CBD really means for your family, and why delaying cannabis use until at least age 17 matters more than you might think.Practical, science-backed, and reassuringly honest — this is essential listening for any parent of a tween, teen, or young adult.Takeaways:Understanding the effects of hormonal changes on adolescent mental health is crucial for parents.Communication around device usage is essential in fostering independence and discipline in teens.The impact of social media on bullying and consent in relationships cannot be overlooked.Research shows that cannabis use can negatively affect cognitive development in teenagers.Emotional health during adolescence can be affected by peer pressure and the need for acceptance.Maintaining open dialogue about physical health and substance use can empower teens to make informed choices.Links referenced in this episode:whereparentstalk.comCompanies mentioned in this episode:University of WisconsinUVMNeuropsychopharmacologyAdolescent Brain Cognitive Development StudyCBDEpidiolexThis podcast is for parents, guardians, teachers and caregivers to learn proven strategies and trusted tips on raising kids, teens and young adults based on science, evidenced and lived experience.You'll learn the latest on topics like managing bullying, consent, fostering healthy relationships, and the interconnectedness of mental, emotional and physical health.Links referenced in this episode:• • whereparentstalk.com

Episode Summary: If you’ve ever felt ambushed by intrusive thoughts, unwanted mental spirals, or the kind of anxious loops that hijack your peace, you’re not alone—and you’re not powerless. In this episode of Your Hope-Filled Perspective, we’re diving into the intersection of biblical truth and brain science, exploring how God designed your mind, why intrusive thoughts show up, and how to interrupt them with evidence-based strategies and Scripture-anchored truth. Whether you struggle with anxiety, guilt, catastrophizing, or “what-if” thinking, you’ll learn practical, hope-filled tools to renew your mind, reclaim your thought life, and experience the calm your soul has been craving. In honor of mental health awareness month, today we’re going to talk about How to Manage Intrusive Thoughts Through Biblical Truth & Brain Science. Quotables from the episode: You are not at the mercy of your mind. A thought is not a fact. A thought is not a sin. A thought is not your identity. A thought is not your destiny. The amygdala can’t tell the difference between a genuine threat, a hypothetical threat, or a lie masquerading as danger. Romans 12:2 isn’t metaphor, it’s biology: ‘Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.’ You can’t control the first thought, but you can control the next one. Intrusive thoughts thrive in internal chaos; they shrink in stillness. This is just a thought, not a truth, and not a command. You cannot ‘stop thinking’ your way out of intrusive thoughts; you must redirect them. When the body calms down, the amygdala shuts off, and intrusive thoughts lose their volume.

Life's “Goliaths” are often not obstacles to our purpose but the very training ground that prepares us for it, both spiritually and neurologically. As a chiropractic neurologist and life coach, I see how the brain and nervous system are designed to adapt through challenge, building resilience, emotional regulation, focus, discipline, and courage through repeated exposure to manageable stress and recovery. Chronic fear, poor breathing, inactivity, inflammation, overstimulation, and unresolved stress can trap the nervous system in survival mode, weakening both body and mind, while intentional habits such as diaphragmatic breathing, walking, proper sleep, movement, prayer, gratitude, and disciplined daily action strengthen healthy neural pathways and improve adaptability. David defeated Goliath not because he suddenly became strong on the battlefield, but because years of hidden preparation had already shaped his mind, body, and spirit. In the same way, our struggles may be developing the exact capacities needed for our future purpose, teaching us that growth, leadership, and transformation are often forged through resistance rather than comfort.Dr. Fred Clary, founder of Functional Analysis Chiropractic Technique and lifting/life coach/ gym-chalk covered philosopher talks the major factor in transformation!

Love can inspire incredible joy—but it can also drive people to obsession, irrational behavior, and emotional extremes. In this fascinating and psychologically rich episode, Liz Langley explores A Wild Ride into the Hearts and Brains of People Driven Mad by Love, diving into the powerful ways love affects the human mind and behavior. Drawing from stories, psychology, and cultural observations, Liz discusses how romantic passion can influence decision-making, perception, and emotional stability. She explores why people sometimes act in extraordinary—or self-destructive—ways when consumed by love, heartbreak, jealousy, or obsession. This episode invites listeners to reflect on the deeper nature of human relationships. What happens in the brain when we fall in love? Why can emotional attachment override logic and reason? And what do these intense experiences reveal about human vulnerability, desire, and connection? Join us for a compelling and thought-provoking conversation that explores love at its most intense—where emotion meets psychology, and where the heart and mind don't always agree.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Today's episode is about the neuroscience of hard work—or maybe more specifically, the value we place on hard work.There's something different about hiking to the top of a mountain versus taking a helicopter. The view from the top is exactly the same, but if you've done the hard slog to get there, the payoff is going to be much more rewarding. The question is, how does the brain know the difference? To answer this, we need to take a deep dive into the brain's reward system, and one of our favorite neurotransmitters, dopamine. And it turns out, the way dopamine operates is more complicated than we thought.Our guest today, Stanford Medicine psychiatrist Neir Eshel, tells us about new research that's starting to reveal exactly how the brain pushes us to work hard for the things that matter to us. Learn MoreEshel's Stanford Translational Addiction and Aggression Research (STAAR) LabWhy we value things more when they cost us more (Stanford Medicine, 2026)Cholinergic modulation of dopamine release drives effortful behaviour (Nature, 2026)Striatal dopamine integrates cost, benefit, and motivation (Neuron, 2023)Dopamine and serotonin work in opposition to shape learning (Wu Tsai Neuro, 2024)Why we do what we do (From Our Neurons to Yours, 2024)Send us a text!Thanks for listening!

In this episode, Niall speaks with Dr. Christof Koch, Chief Scientist of the MindScope Program at the Allen Institute for Brain Science, former Professor at Caltech, and author of “Then I Am Myself the World”. Dr. Koch is a leading researcher in the science of consciousness and a key proponent of Integrated Information Theory. In this conversation, they explore: — Why consciousness may be fundamental, while physical matter exists only in relation to other things — How an experience on a beach in Brazil changed his understanding of reality — The discovery of “covert consciousness” in patients thought to be in vegetative states — How the perturbational complexity index (PCI) shows a clear boundary between conscious and unconscious states, and why this matters — How Integrated Information Theory approaches the question of free will You can learn more about Dr. Koch's work at https://christofkoch.com. --- Dr. Christof Koch is a Meritorious Investigator at the Allen Institute. Christof received his baccalaureate from the Lycée Descartes in Rabat, Morocco, his B.S. and M.S. in physics from the University of Tübingen in Germany and his Ph.D. from the Max-Planck Institute for biological Cybernetics in 1982. Subsequently, he spent four years as a postdoctoral fellow in the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and the Brain and Cognitive Sciences Department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. From 1987 until 2013, Koch was a professor at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, from his initial appointment as Assistant Professor, Division of Biology and Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences in 1986, to his final position as Lois and Victor Troendle Professor of Cognitive & Behavioral Biology. See here for Christof's academic pedigree and his students. Christof joined the Allen Institute for Brain Science as Chief Scientific Officer in 2011 and became President in 2015. Christof writings and interests integrate theoretical, computational and experimental neuroscience with philosophy and contemporary trends, in particular artificial intelligence. His latest book, Then I Am Myself the World: What Consciousness Is and How to Expand It, publish in May 2024. His previous book, Consciousness: Confessions of a Romantic Reductionist, blends science and memoir to explore topics in discovering the roots of consciousness. Stemming in part from a long-standing collaboration with the late Nobel Laureate Francis Crick, Christof authored the book The Quest for Consciousness: A Neurobiological Approach. Koch also authored the technical books Biophysics of Computation: Information Processing in Single Neurons and Methods in Neuronal Modeling: From Ions to Networks, and served as editor for several books on neural modeling and information processing. --- Interview Links: — Dr. Koch's website: https://christofkoch.com — Dr. Koch's book: https://amzn.to/4mIKG9W

You're not lazy. You're not undisciplined. You're not broken. Your nervous system is doing exactly what it was built to do, which is protect you from anything unfamiliar. And until you understand that, no budget, no business plan, no Q2 goal is going to stick.This week on NoBS Wealth, Tessa Santarpia walks me through why self-sabotage has nothing to do with willpower. It's a mismatch. Your conscious mind wants more money, more visibility, more growth. Your subconscious identity thinks that's a threat to survival. And identity wins every single time.We break down why success triggers just as much threat as failure. Why high earners have just as many mindset problems as everyone else, they just have more zeros on the mess. Why "just automate it" is only half the answer. And why the moment you say "this always happens to me," that's your nervous system telling on itself.Tessa gives you three real moves you can make this week to rewire the pattern. Not more doing. Not more planning. Actual regulation of the system that's been pulling you back to baseline your entire adult life. Walk outside. Slow your breathing. Splash cold water on your face. Sounds simple. It's not. And it works.If you've been blaming yourself for not hitting your Q1 goals, this is the episode. Stop beating up the version of you that was just trying to stay safe.

What if your struggle with weight loss isn't about willpower at all, but about brain patterns you were born with? In this groundbreaking conversation, Dr. Matthew Weiner and registered dietitian Zoe sit down with neuroscientist Dr. Steve Rondeau, who has conducted over 50,000 EEG brain scans and just released his book Think Like a Brain. Dr. Rondeau reveals that emotional eating, stress eating, and food cravings aren't character flaws—they're measurable brain patterns that show up differently in every person. His research has identified that what we call "stress eating" can manifest in 4,096 different combinations of brain patterns, explaining why the same diet works for one person but fails for another.One of the most exciting revelations is the potential to use brain scans to predict who will respond to GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound before they even take their first dose. Dr. Rondeau discusses the "overwhelmed pattern"—a specific brain biomarker where brain activity slows down under stress, strongly correlated with using food as an escape mechanism. He draws fascinating parallels between GLP-1 medications and psychedelic therapy, explaining how both create a window of opportunity where the usual noise quiets down enough for real behavioral change to happen. The key is using that window effectively with proper integration work.This episode challenges the entire foundation of mental health diagnosis, revealing why the DSM is fundamentally flawed and how brain scan technology can finally match treatments to individual biology rather than broad symptom categories. Dr. Rondeau uses the powerful analogy of a husky in the desert versus the mountains—your brain patterns may be perfectly adapted for certain situations but set you up for failure in others. The conversation explores emerging wearable EEG technology, the inheritance of brain patterns, and the future of truly personalized medicine. Essential listening for anyone who has ever wondered why willpower never seems to be enough.Connect with Dr. Steve Rondeau:Book: Think Like a Brain (thinklikeabrain.com)Available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and all major platformsAudiobook coming soonDownload the Pound of Cure App: gololi.ai - AI-powered personalized weight loss planning

What truly shapes a child's future? Is it biology, environment, or something far deeper?In this powerful episode of TAL Radio, Dr. Meenakshi Chintapalli, a pediatrician, behavioral neuroscientist, educator, and humanitarian, shares her extraordinary four decade journey of transforming child development through the integration of science, compassion, and spirituality.Drawing from real clinical experiences, she reveals how emotional connection, early relationships, and sensory experiences play a critical role in shaping the developing brain. Long before neuroplasticity became a mainstream concept, she was already applying innovative multisensory approaches to help children overcome developmental challenges and thrive.This conversation goes beyond medicine to explore the deeper truth that a child's growth is not just physical or cognitive, but emotional, relational, and value driven.If you are a parent, educator, healthcare professional, or someone passionate about creating meaningful impact, this episode will shift the way you see children and the world around you.

Traditionally, we think of Parkinson's as a movement disorder—defined by slowed movement, stiff muscles, and involuntary shaking. But it turns out there are other symptoms that appear years or even decades before movement problems bring patients to the clinic: sleep disturbances, chronic constipation, and loss of smell.For today's guest, these early symptoms represent an incredible opportunity to understand where Parkinson's begins and to identify patients much earlier in the disease.Kathleen Poston is a neurologist and division chief for movement disorders at Stanford Medicine. She's also a member of the steering committee for the Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience at Wu Tsai Neuro, and advises the Michael J. Fox Foundation and pharmaceutical companies on Parkinson's research.We discuss why non-motor symptoms might hold the key to early diagnosis, how new biomarkers are redefining the disease, and whether Parkinson's might actually start in the gut.Learn MoreLearn about Poston's research on her lab siteLearn about the Stanford Lewy Body Dementia Research Center of ExcellenceRedefining Parkinson's Disease | Our previous conversation with Poston, in which we learned about a sea change in our understanding of Parkinson's Disease.Neuroscientists dive into the gut (Wu Tsai Neuro, 2025) | Our 2025 Symposium explored how our brains and bodies communicate—and what that means for our health and well-beingParkinson's comes in many forms.

Dr. Lynn Hellerstein speaks with Dr. Therese Huston, cognitive neuroscientist, bestselling author, and TEDx speaker about simple, science-based ways to stay mentally sharp from her book Sharp: 14 Simple Ways to Improve Your Life with Brain Science, published by Mayo Clinic Press. Therese explains that cognitive decline isn't just about aging—it's shaped by sleep, heart health, exercise, education, and stress. She shares quick tools like a 5-minute sleep reset, list-making, and stress-reducing techniques such as self-touch and breathing exercises. While younger brains process information faster, older brains are better at pattern recognition and emotional regulation. Some forgetfulness is normal, but more serious issues may signal conditions like dementia and Alzheimer's disease. She also highlights that just 10 minutes of daily meditation—using tools like the Healthy Minds app—can help rebuild brain function. The episode wraps with how visualization can improve performance and goal achievement, offering practical ways to keep your brain strong at any age. Dr. Lynn Hellerstein, Developmental Optometrist, co-owner of Hellerstein & Brenner Vision Center, P.C., award-winning author and international speaker, holds powerful and inspiring conversations with her guests in the areas of health, wellness, education, sports and psychology. They share their inspirational stories of healing and transformation through their vision expansion. Vision Beyond Sight Podcast will help you see with clarity, gain courage and confidence.

What actually causes cognitive decline, and how much of it can we do something about? In this episode, Michael talks with neurologist and neuroscientist Dr. Majid Fotuhi about dementia, Alzheimer's, memory loss, and the everyday habits that shape brain health over time. They discuss why Alzheimer's is only part of the story, why some people remain mentally sharp into old age, and what the evidence says about exercise, sleep, diet, stress, and cognitive activity. They also cover ADHD, attention, brain training, and the difference between ordinary forgetfulness and something more serious. At the center of it all is a simple but important idea: many people think cognitive decline is just an unavoidable part of aging, when in fact there is often more room to protect brain function than most of us realize. Majid Fotuhi, MD, PhD, is an adjunct professor of Neuroscience at Johns Hopkins's Mind/Brain Institute, an adjunct professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences at George Washington University, and is the medical director of NeuroGrow Brain Fitness Center.  His groundbreaking, proprietary research has been published in The Lancet, Nature, Neurology, Neuron, Proceedings of National Academy of Science, the Journal of Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease, Journal of Rehabilitation, and Journal of Alzheimer's Disease Reports, among others. His new book is The Invincible Brain: The Clinically Proven Plan to Age-Proof Your Brain and Stay Sharp for Life.

What happens when you have to end a relationship with someone who did nothing wrong? This episode covers the breakup nobody prepares you for: leaving someone good, or being left by someone who simply "isn't feeling it." Sabrina breaks down why love and alignment are not the same thing, how to tell the difference between a rough patch and real incompatibility, and why these breakups can hurt more than the ones with an obvious reason. Whether you're carrying the guilt of leaving or the confusion of being left with no explanation that makes sense, this episode helps you stop internalizing someone else's feelings as a verdict on your worth. Sabrina shares her own story, the science of breakup recovery, and a tool of the week with journaling prompts for both sides. Pre-order Sabrina's book coming out October 2026, "Why Am I Like This?"

Do you feel stuck? Have people told you all you need to do is let go? Have you been shamed by others because you find it hard to stop thinking about how a narcissistic parent has wounded you? Do you ruminate, and find yourself clinging to old memories, plagued by negative self talk? Are you codependent, a people pleaser, who finds it hard to let go, even when you know you should walk away? If so, this episode is for you. Inside you will learn Lisa A. Romano's 3 step metacogntive process that teaches her private clients and members of her conscious healing circle, inside the Breakthrough Warrior Membership. These are also the types of logic and neurological based trainings she offers those within her coaching courses. Today, she shares her insights with those in her podcast community in the hopes of inspiring them to believe that the power to change and heal their lives has been within them all along.  But, here's the thing. The power is not in action. It is in metacognition. It's in a particular type of controlled, conscious repetition, that allows for the brain to edit and rewire itself in real time.  Sound interesting? You know it does! And if you are someone who feels stuck, but you ache for joy, emotional freedom and total authenticity, Lisa's work offers a pathway through the muck of the past.  0:00 Introduction--what reframing what letting to actually means 5:00 defining letting go through the lens of metacognition 6:26 Step One-accepting the external reality (fact gathering) 9:21 Step Two-accepting the internral reality (data observation) 11:00 When your self identity is crushed as a child 16:00 The codependent approval seeking pattern  17:00 The power of self editing and somatic release 17:40 Step 3-the Metacognitive shift from lack to gratitude 18:01 Holding pain and gratitude simultaneously--creates internal balance 18:40 Childhood trauma symptoms to be observed not identified with 19:39 Observing the toxic patterns of negative self talk 20:12 The Gremlins of stinking thinking 20:26 The metacognitive shift using gratitude as a tool for balance 21:43 Emotional freedom explained 23:04 Stinking thinking explained 23:36 The future of childhood trauma recovery (metacognition/neuroplasticity) 24:45 Metacognitive exercise to help you shift 26:13 Seek the shift 27:14 Muscle memory and emotional recovery go hand in hand 27:32 Letting Go reframed as a mental resilience exercise 28:00 Repetition, why its necessary 28:80 The Wizard of OZ comparison; Dorothy had the power with her all along 30:19 Refuse to allow trauma to control your life 31:46 The 12 Week Breakthrough Coaching Program--your next steps This episode will help you understand the power of a consciously controlled mind, which will help with emotional regulation, and emotional freedom, specifically for those suffering from childhood emotional neglect, codependency, low self worth, people pleasing, and the repeating of toxic relationship cycles.  ✨ Learn more about my work and resources: here ✨ Explore the 12 Week Breakthrough Coaching Program: here Topics: healthy boundaries, boundary guilt, people pleasing recovery, codependency healing, self abandonment, fear of rejection, emotional conditioning, inner critic, childhood trauma patterns, adult children of dysfunctional families, nervous system safety, relationship anxiety, self healing, codependency, codependency recovery, self recovery, metacognition, personal growth, self growth, selfhelp, mental health tips, lisa a romano, narcissistic abuse recovery, codependency recovery,

Memorable communication isn't about saying more—it's making the right idea stick. No matter how compelling a presentation feels in the moment, most of what you say won't last in your audience's memory. The key isn't trying to make people remember everything — it's ensuring they remember what matters most.Carmen Simon is a cognitive neuroscientist, author, and expert on how the brain pays attention and forms memories. Her research explores how communication can move beyond passive listening and become an experience the brain actually holds onto. “The way we come to know the world is through the interaction of brain, body, and environment,” she explains. “The more you invite your audiences to interact with anything, especially physically, the more you impact cognition.”In this Quick Thinks episode of Think Fast Talk Smart, Simon and host Matt Abrahams explore practical, research-backed ways to make communication more memorable. They discuss why handwriting notes can deepen understanding, how curiosity and tension capture attention, and why communicators should avoid overwhelming audiences with too much information. Instead, Simon encourages speakers to structure ideas so audiences can recognize patterns and return to a clear core message.Episode Reference Links:Carmen SimonCarmen's Book: Impossible to IgnoreEp.39 Brains Love Stories: How Leveraging Neuroscience Can Capture People's Emotions Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:31) - Embodied Cognition Explained (04:44) - The Impact of Environment on Attention (06:08) - Sparking Curiosity in Your Audience (10:24) - Avoiding Cognitive Overload (14:48) - Using Visuals to Improve Recall (18:43) - Conclusion  ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is sponsored by Grammarly.

The new semi-autobiographical play “The Reservoir” spins a comedic narrative around cognitive reserve, the idea that doing brain-stimulating activities can prevent or delay the onset of dementia symptoms. It's currently running at the Atlantic Theater Company and co-produced by The Ensemble Studio Theater in New York.*  Host Ira Flatow talks with playwright Jake Brasch about his inspiration for the play and how to mesh science into the theater.  Then, neurologist Marilyn Albert discusses some of the latest science of mental stimulation and dementia. After following a diverse group of older adults for 20 years, her research found that a modest amount of specialized cognitive training reduced dementia risk by 25%. You can try a very similar brain training exercise at home.  *“The Reservoir” received funding from the Sloan Foundation, which also helps support Science Friday. Guests: Jake Brasch is a writer, performer, composer, clown, and writer of the new play “The Reservoir.”  Dr. Marilyn Albert is a professor of neurology and director of the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at Johns Hopkins Medicine.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.
