Angela welcomes Dan Levitin, author of "Music as Medicine," to explore the profound impact of music on our biology and mental health. They discuss how music affects neurotransmitters and hormones, the intricate process of how we perceive sound, and the emotional connections we form with music. Dan shares insights on the therapeutic applications of music for conditions like anxiety and depression, emphasising the importance of personal music preferences in achieving relaxation and emotional healing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Music affects the biology of the brain by modulating neurotransmitters and hormones, which can preserve health, cure injuries, and act as a preventative measure against illnesses. Sounds, including music, are closely tied to emotional experiences. The emotional weight of a sound can enhance memory encoding, making certain songs evoke vivid memories from specific times in life. The effects of music are highly individual; what is calming for one person may be energising for another. Personal preferences play a crucial role in how music influences mood and physiological responses. Music can be beneficial in treating mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. For instance, sad music may help individuals feel understood during depressive episodes, while personalised music selections can effectively reduce anxiety. BEST MOMENTS "We've come to discover in the last 10 years or so with rigorous scientific studies, exactly how music affects the biology of the brain in particular, how it can be health preserving." "If you think about watching a movie, for example, and there's a scary scene in the movie, the music that comes before it can prime us to reach that level of anticipation." "A general principle of memory is that those things that carry the most emotional wallop are the things that get encoded into memory more quickly." "The dopamine hit we get from music, we come by honestly and authentically and organically. It's not addictive in the same way that drinking when you're thirsty is not addictive."

Music makes us feel better — for most of us, this is an intuitive truth. But scientists are only now beginning to understand the remarkable ways that music affects our brains. With the help of innovation, researchers are working to assess and codify the whats, whys and hows that could help us harness this power as a therapeutic tool to treat people grappling with everything from mood disorders to Parkinson's disease. Their data is helping prove that music could be one of our most vital, valuable and accessible forms of medicine. Featured in this episode:Dan Levitin is a best-selling author, music producer, renowned neuroscientist and professor emeritus in psychology at McGill University. His latest book, I Heard There Was a Secret Chord: Music as Medicine was released in August. Frank Russo is a cognitive neuroscientist and psychologist who serves as the chief science officer at LUCID, a Toronto-based company that uses AI to create personalized music therapy to help people with mental health challenges.

Many myths about getting older are out there and we'll dispell some of them and we'll offer research on the aging process and what you can do to enhance the experience. And most importantly we want you to call in with your stories, and strategies for aging well. GUEST: Dr. Dan Levitin, neuroscientist, professor emeritus at McGill,

For the second part of our reversing ageing series, my guest today is Dr Daniel J. Levitin. A neuroscientist, cognitive psychologist, and bestselling author. He is Founding Dean of Arts & Humanities at the Minerva Schools at KGI in San Francisco, and Professor Emeritus of psychology and neuroscience at McGill University.

On the show today we talk about:The beliefs that surround the ageing processOur assumptions around memory loss and our focus on lifespan instead of 'healthspan'How our decision-making skills improve as we ageHow happiness improves in agePractical and cognitive enhancing tricks for everyone to follow during each decade of their lifeHow to age joyouslyWe also dive into Dan’s food preferences, flair for music and some incredible stories from his life’s workI would really recommend to check out Dan's book - The Changing Mind - it really is well worth a readAnd do check out The Doctor's Kitchen website for full show notes and do check out all our other podcast episodes too!Guest Social Media LinksWebsiteTwitterFacebookInstagram See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

CAUTION ADVISED: This podcast contains swearing themes of an adult nature.Do you believe that we have control over how we age? Is mental decline inevitable? Or, does how we live now determine our later years?This week’s guest is Dr Daniel Levitin, a neuroscientist, cognitive psychologist and best-selling author. His latest book, The Changing Mind, is an enlightening read for anyone who wants to age well, live well and understand the science behind both.Dan and I discuss the concept of healthspan versus lifespan – how if you want to live to a ripe old age, you’ll want to be able to enjoy it, too. Amazingly, Dan’s extensive research has led him to conclude that the number one factor that predicts how well we’ll age is not, as you might imagine, genetic – it’s a personality trait. We discuss just what that personality trait is and Dan goes on to reveal three other important traits that govern our behaviours and how we respond to the world – and therefore how healthy and happy we are at age 8 or 108. The good news is, that these traits can be taught and it’s never too late to start learning - you can start cultivating your personality to be neuroprotective at any age.Dan is passionate that we can and should keep learning throughout life. He explains why it’s a myth that memory automatically deteriorates and outlines simple and easy changes we can all make that will enhance life right now, as well as promote a healthy and fulfilling old age. This is a really enlightening conversation – I hope it helps you on your way to a long, happy and healthy life.Show notes available at drchatterjee.com/112Follow me on instagram.com/drchatterjee/Follow me on facebook.com/DrChatterjee/Follow me on twitter.com/drchatterjeeukDISCLAIMER: The content in the podcast and on this webpage is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Growing older is something we only get to do if we’re lucky, so why are so many of us unenthusiastic about the prospect of ageing? We speak to neuroscientist and author Dan Levitin about his new book The Changing Mind, which looks at the ways the brain actually improves as we age, and how we can help it.

This week on the Pop Life Podcast neuroscientist and author Daniel J. Levitin stops by the “Pop Life” bar to discuss his latest book “Successful Aging: A Neuroscientist Explores the Power and Potential of Our Lives.” He looks at the science behind what we all can learn from those who age joyously, as well as how to adapt our culture to take full advantage of older people’s wisdom and experience. Throughout his exploration of what aging really means, using research from developmental neuroscience and the psychology of individual differences, Levitin reveals resilience strategies and practical, cognitive enhancing tricks everyone should do as they age. Then Levitin joins the “Pop Life” panel, Paul Mason a.k.a. Fashion Santa and Juno nominee Jay Douglas, to talk about the future of aging, lying about their ages and how much of defying aging is mental.

Dan played music at school growing up in California, and was in several bands, but also conducted music. He says music education is very important, like team sports, but it is not competitive, and helped him get in touch with his emotions while growing up. Although he dropped out of college to be in the music industry as a session musician and record producer, he eventually went back to get his degree and became a college professor primarily researching the neuroscience and psychology of music. His bestseller This is Your Brain on Music opened many doors for him, including meeting and becoming friends with Victor Wooten.  He says that recent research on music and the brain confirms that music activates pretty much every region of the brain that has been mapped. Music also can reduce pain and pre-operative anxiety in hospital settings. Music can also combat depression and has great therapeutic benefits, including reducing anxiety in people with dementia. Dan says that preforming, writing, or even appreciating music requires very complex memory modulations and sophisticated brain mechanisms that other animals don’t have; it requires being able to hold an idea in one’s mind that is not in front of you. Dan says that music can lead to mutual cooperation, passing on education through schools, and creating systems of justice. When people play or listen to music, their brain waves synchronize, which also can lead to cooperation. Dan Levitin is truly a trailblazer in the science of music and has a new book coming out titled Successful Aging. Please check out www.daniellevitin.com. 

Elena Mannes had music in her life "from the womb" and many musicians in her family, so it is no surprise that she is an award-winning author of a book and director of a documentary movie on music. The book is titled The Power of Music and the movie is The Music Instinct: Science and Song. The book includes great information about music and along with the movie are both listed on the Planetary Gigs Society website. The movie features musical luminaries Dan Levitin and Bobby McFerrin and provides a ground-breaking exploration into how and why the human organism and the whole ebb and flow of the cosmos is moved by the undeniable effect of music. Elena says, "The new science is showing how we are really wired for music in so many ways; we're wired to respond to certain harmonies, even infants." She also has a new book out called Soul Dog, about the spiritual lives of animals. Elena says, "We're all the same stuff."

Terry Esau is the founder of Free Bikes 4 Kids, a non-profit based in Minneapolis that collects and distributes tens of thousands of bikes to needy children every year around the holiday season. He’s not as well-known as some of our guests, but his story will engage even the savviest marketers and HR executives. Terry realized early on that growing the organization would require meaningful marketing, smooth operations, and a phalanx of well-trained volunteers. To streamline these functions, he turned to Kaizen / Lean analysis and employed a host of behavioral science tools, without all the terminology. As a result, he is maximizing the organization’s mission to bring FREE bikes to kids. Terry is what we call an Accidental Behavioral Scientist. His work clearly demonstrates the application of foundational behavioral science principles, yet he is unaware of the principles by name or theory. He has applied behavioral science principles to how kids (and their parents) shop for their free bikes and how volunteers are vetted and trained. In roughly 8 weeks, more than 20,000 volunteer hours are put into the collection, repair and distribution of bikes in each city. And it all happens with remarkably high satisfaction for both the riders and the volunteers. Terry is an avid bicyclist, and he is also a published author and speaker. However, he spent most of his career composing music for documentary films, television and radio advertising. He composed and produced music for over 2,000 TV commercials for clients including Target, McDonalds, Pepsi, Harley Davidson, Honda, Subway, Perkins, Golden Grahams and even Kitty Litter. He’s even has won a Clio award for his work in advertising. In our grooving session, Kurt and Tim suss out the ways Terry leverages the endowment effect and uses choice architecture to guide kids and parents on the journey of getting a new bike. We also talked about the psychological effects that music has on the taste of food. Not just another rabbit hole, but a very interesting discussion! We hope you enjoy the discussion with Terry Esau.
