In this special episode, Melanie Pincus, Ph.D. and Manesh Girn, Ph.D., who joined David in episode 403 to discuss the launch of their new course, essentially interview each other. As the 2nd edition of their popular course, Psychedelic Neuroscience Demystified, begins on October 4, we wanted to give them a chance to highlight some of the aspects of neuroscience students can expect to learn in the course, and what so many people who are interested in psychedelics don't fully understand: What does neuroplasticity actually entail? Can one predict if a patient is more apt to have an experience with ego dissolution? How does the amygdala relate to mood disorders? When are critical periods of greater plasticity and socialization at their most beneficial? How does neuroplasticity relate to chronic stress? They also discuss lessons they've received from their own journeys; why they created the course; serotonin; psychological flexibility; body-based versions of self vs. memory-based versions; psychedelics and re-encoding memories (and the potential for false memories); how psychedelic therapy is different from standard drug treatments; psychedelics and the default mode network (is the story oversimplified?), and much more.  Click here to head to the show notes page.

Have you ever found yourself overthinking and softening your language in emails, meetings, conversations, or voice and text messages...So that other people wouldn't perceive you as being a pain in the ass, or too needy, or too bossy, or too whatever the feck'?How about over-explaining yourself almost as a preemptive apology - instead of just answering with a direct yes or no?Are you familiar with often disclaiming yourself, your ideas, your work or your words in advance?In my writing workshops, I often hear people (but especially women) do this “thing” before they share what they wrote with the rest of the group.Before they read a single word of their work, they start out with a rush of disclaimers; saying things like... “Well, I just wrote this really fast” - or- “We didn't have a ton of time” - or - “This still needs polishing” - or - "This isn't very good, but..."This is one of the reasons why we encourage no explaining, or disclaimers because those statements are not reflective of the brilliant writing that they inevitably go on to read!It's that double-edged sword of wanting to be seen, and wanting to share yourself and your work, but also being afraid of being seen and how your nervous system responds to it!Today on The Karen Kenney Show, I'm inviting you to stop apologizing in advance. Stop over explaining, and putting up disclaimers before sharing amazing YOU and your art, your words, your work or your skills, whatever they may be.Your point of view is worthy and your creativity and your ideas are needed in the world!So please… Speak up. Have your own back. Have the backs of other women and people.And, let's be in the habit of saying what we actually mean!KK's Takeaways:The Double-Edged Sword (6:25)Stop Apologizing (10:49)How We Tend To Over-Explain (17:55)The First Step To Lasting Change (22:47)Practice Saying No By Saying No (27:21)Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Hypnotist, Integrative Change Worker and a Life Coach. She's known for her dynamic storytelling, her sense of humor, her Boston accent and her no-bullshit approach to Spirituality and transformational work. She's been a yoga teacher for 22+ years, is a Certified Gateless Writing Instructor, and is also an author, speaker, retreat leader and the host of The Karen Kenney Show podcast. A curious human being, life-long learner and an entrepreneur for 20+ years, KK brings a down-to-earth perspective to applying spiritual principles and brain science that create powerful shifts in people's lives and businesses. She works with people individually in her 1:1 program THE QUEST, and offers a collective learning experience via Group Coaching. She supports both the conscious and unconscious mind by combining practical Neuroscience, Subconscious Reprogramming, Integrative Hypnosis, and Spiritual Mentorship. These tools help clients regulate their nervous systems, remove blocks, rewrite stories, rewire beliefs, and reimagine what's possible!Karen wants her clients to have their own lived experience with spirituality and to not just “take her word for it”. She encourages people to deepen their personal connection to Self, Source and Spirit in tangible, relatable, and actionable ways without losing sight of the magic.Her process called: “Your Story To Your Glory” helps people to shift from an old thought system of fear to one of Love - using compassion, un-shaming, laughter and humor, her work is effective, efficient, and it's also wicked fun!KK's been a student of A Course in Miracles for close to 30 years, has been vegan for over 20 years, and believes that a little kindness can go a long way and make a miraculous difference.

His research is designed to lead to novel, microbiome-based interventions for preventing anxiety, mood, and trauma- and stressor-related disorders, such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).In this episode, we talk with Dr. Lowry about his work involving the microbiome-gut-brain axis, a research term for how our digestive systems' health is intertwined with our brains' health. We'll cover broad theoretical topics like what the gut microbiome is and how it works, to the practical side of things like what you can eat to make it healthier.We'll also discuss some of Chris' work on how the gut biome can affect our resilience and susceptibility to traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress, as well as his research in these areas, specifically involving the veteran and first responder communities. Timestamps:00:00:22 Who is Dr. Chris Lowry00:03:08 Background, Education and the Microbiome00:10:28 Where is the Biome00:13:02 What Benefits Our Microbiome00:16:46 How Does Food Diversity Affect the Microbiome 00:20:15 Blood/Gut Barrier00:22:28 Fiber: Diversity is Best00:27:05 How do Antibiotics Affect the Microbiome00:29:13 Recovery From Antibiotics00:30:31 Guidelines in Probiotic Diversity00:35:00 Outro

If you struggle with retaining sharp focus or have been diagnosed with ADHD or other conditions that impede your brain from functioning at its optimal level, this is the podcast episode for you. We learn about a (literally) out-of-the-box solution to attention training—video games. Yes, you read that right.Our guest today, Dr. Adam Gazzaley, holds an M.D. and Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Mount Sinai School of Medicine and completed Neurology residency at the University of Pennsylvania, followed by postdoctoral training in cognitive neuroscience at UC Berkeley. He's currently the David Dolby Distinguished Professor at UC San Francisco and the Founder/Executive Director of Neuroscape, a center focusing on technology-driven scientific research. So it's safe to say that Adam is not your prototypical basement gamer.As someone who struggled with focus and attention due to Asperger's syndrome and brain fog due to the effects of toxic mold exposure, figuring out how to retrain my brain to be able to retain more information and focus longer was one of the first areas of biohacking I ever explored. This is why I'm so excited to be talking all about Endeavor Rx today, the world's first FDA-authorized prescription video game treatment for pediatric ADHD—and Endeavor OTC, for adults who struggle with ADHD, focus, attention, and distraction.We explore how we can measure attention and improvement in focus, the biological systems that control what we focus on consciously and subconsciously, the role of nutrition in our ability to focus, the underlying technology of Endeavor, measuring its effectiveness, and Adam's vision for how we can use biosensing technology—now and in the future—to optimize awareness, focus, mood, and more.

Today, let's journey through the realms of neuroscience, addiction research, and the promising future of treatment strategies for substance use disorders. On this episode, Duane speaks with Dr. Paul Kenny, a distinguished figure in neuroscience and addiction research. He unravels his research on signaling cascades in rodents' brains, providing fascinating insights into addiction-like behaviors.  The discussion turns engaging as Paul illuminates his groundbreaking work with certain treatments and their potential role in addressing cravings and motivation in substance use disorders is nothing short of fascinating.  They also steer the conversation towards an area often overlooked, which is the relationship between drugs, addiction, and satiety. Paul dissects how potent drugs like cocaine and heroin trigger extreme pleasure and consequently, substance use disorders. He shares his insights into how the satisfaction derived from drug use and the ritualistic patterns of drug consumption could be altered to reduce dependence.  This episode sheds light on the promising field of addiction research and the need to raise public awareness of the issue. This is a testament to the incredible work being done by Cure Addiction Now. By understanding the brain's role in addiction, we can potentially change the way we approach substance use disorders and find innovative ways to help those struggling with addiction.

Check then out on SHOPAssociation.orgOK, let's dig in... With our first interview of the season with two remarkable women Susan Magsamen and Ivy Ross whose recent book “Your Brain on Art has garnered huge attention since its recent release. But first a few thoughts on art and making...****************When I was about 9 years old and my mom had me in an after school art program at a local painting studio near my childhood home. Thursdays, as it would turn out, became the single time of the week where the outside world disappeared and I entered into a place of pure creativity and innovation which many years later I would discover was called “flow.”Even to this day Thursdays seemed to hold a special body memory for me of calm and an internal sense of both peace and joy. Thursdays somehow carry a different energy from me that I think was implanted in my body all those years ago where my creative passion was fully expressed.For years I would paint on Thursdays and that turned into a passion that became a profession as an architect. I wasn't great at math or physics but I was pretty confident about my skills in art and I knew that there was something specific about the feeling that I had in going to this small art studio that was because of the things I was doing as well as the place that I was doing it in. So studying architecture was always grounded in this idea for me of creating places that moved people emotionally. It didn't matter to me too much whether you loved it or hated it, although I would have preferred you loved it. But my goal was always to connect to people on an emotional level to find the right combination of materials and finishes space volumes and textures and all those other things that we have in our architects toolbox and how we moved through and experience space from a mind – body emotional perspective.I think early on I developed an aesthetic mindset. I seemed to have a high level of curiosity, a love of play and open-ended exploration, a keen sensory awareness and a drive to engage in activities as a maker or beholder. Through my architecture studies at McGill University I discovered principles of experience rooted in ritual and that there was a very different physical and emotional feeling connected to participating in ritual versus simply watching them. I was always very interested in how people participated in space. How they participated in the making of their experiences because I always believed that in making we brought something unique to the world that humans were capable of doing better than any other creatures on the planet. I developed a keen interest in ontological design - basically put - that the things we make return the favor by in part making us who we are. Our neurobiology reacts to the environment around us and so our mind body state is directly influenced by what we experience in the built environment. Our brains are in a feedback loop of making and being made by experience.The Irish poet John O'Donoghue once said “art is the essence of awareness” and I find that particularly relevant to how we experience the places that we build and how we interact with them. What I learned as a young artist on Thursday afternoons was that somehow in the making of things I became acutely aware of my mind body state as well as my surroundings.As I started to create and design retail places it seemed that everywhere I walked the world around me became more relevant I was tuning in to everything that I could see and hear. When in the middle of trying to solve a design challenge, I seemed to tune into things that might not have otherwise been apparent to me.What I found interesting was that this attunement to the environment around me also grew a connection between my sensory experiences and my appreciation of art. As I engaged more fully in the environment around me and the various kinds of arts I also learned more about myself. During the recent pandemic I turned to painting to help navigate the uncertainty and ambiguity of a global crisis that had left everything that I had believed to be true and a path that I had created for myself professionally in flux. Art it seemed became the grounding mechanism that calmed my nervous system that brought joy amidst uncertainty.Over the past few decades as a creative architect I've become acutely aware that the environment around us has a profound effect on our mind body state, our sense of well-being, our feelings of joy, community, connection, belonging, relevance. Being exposed to the arts provided context and meaning, a way for me to understand where I stood in the grand scheme of things. And art also gave me a sense of agency of being able to have a sense of control and to bring things into the world that had never been there before.And so, because of all of these understandings I have a deep appreciation for the book recently published by Susan Magsamen and Ivy Ross called “Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us.”This book is wildly successful because I believe it is a writing whose time has come. It brings forward the ideas that the arts are fundamental to who we are as people and that long before we had written language we danced around fires sang songs, made drawings on walls and shared the meaning of our lives with each other by being in community, in relationships, participating in rituals and making. And so, it's not surprising that the arts in all of its forms visual,  literary, dance, sculpture and others are part of who we are as individuals and as members of a broader human whole.When I bought this book I thought that it would help me understand the neuroscience of what was happening in my brain as I stood in front of a painting. But it did more than that. It helped to unpack why I was led to feel certain ways about my experience of art in general including paintings, dance, musical theater, poetry, a good movie and a great book.It was chock full of examples and great research on how the arts are used in healing practices and health care industry to augment patient recovery. It looked at how the arts are being used in education, though not nearly enough, to enhance learning.Your brain on Art also brought me greater understanding about making music and how memories are tied to our experiences of hearing music. That's why it's likely you can clearly remember tunes from your childhood and tag them to early childhood experiences. Or why your playlists from your high school years probably are still able to be recalled with ease. And why I can remember the high school dance and my girlfriend at the time and the song Lucky Man by Emerson Lake and Palmer and that kiss.The book dives into understanding arts and the neurodivergent brain and play and how these are critical to our development.And if all of that wasn't quite enough it digs into the idea of how the arts support flourishing and asks the question - What constitutes a good life? I did not know that there is a burgeoning subfield of neuroscience and psychology now dedicated to identifying and understanding the neural mechanisms that contribute to a state of flourishing. And Your Brain on Art brings to light some of the neuroscience related to creativity, awe and wonder.Your Brain on Art is a collaborative effort between two remarkable women who together combine neuroscience and creative vision into a must-read book.Susan Magsamen has over 35 years of experience in developing effective learning programs rooted in the science of learning and is an active member of the brain sciences research, arts, education and social impact communities. She currently serves as Executive Director of the International Arts and Mind Lab, Center for Applied Neuroaesthetics at the Brain Science Institute at Johns Hopkins University where she is also a faculty member.

My Body Odyssey attended the 51st Falmouth Road Race- the local, 7-mile pub crawl that quickly evolved into a major, international event with 75,000 spectators and ten thousand runners annually. Our episode features three participants at this year event, including the only runner to have completed all 51 Falmouth Road Races: Dr. Brian Salzberg.  “I've had just a slew of injuries,” said Dr. Salzberg, a professor of Neuroscience and Physiology at UPenn Medical School. “And they always happen away from Falmouth. So it never stopped me from running the Falmouth Road Races.” Actually, what may not have stopped Dr. Salzberg is his own tenacity. He's finished the event with a brain tumor and on torn ligaments. “I did the 7 mile course on crutches in 2008,” he jokes. “ And, as far as I know, I still have the crutch record.” Born with Spina Bifida, fourteen-year-old wheelchair racer Madelyn Wilson displays a tenacity quite similar to that of Dr. Salzberg, whose race record she could eventually threaten. “Oh, this is my favorite race of the year,” she told us at the Health & Wellness Expo. “I'm always energetic and waiting to do this. Like, hurry up, let's go.” Are dedicated, highly enthused runners and racers like Dr. Salzburg and Madylen born to train and compete at events like the Falmouth Road Race? Or do the benefits of training and competing motivate individuals to just keep at it until it becomes second nature? Carol Crutchfield, a charity runner at this year's race, firmly believes that nurture, not nature, creates lifelong runners.   “The main thing is, your mind's your worst enemy,” says Carol, author of a book for the beginning runner, And They Shall Run. “So you gotta make yourself get out the door, and that's the hardest thing.” These inspiring odysseys may help you get out the door more often to run, cycle, walk, or whatever form of activity you choose. And they may motivate you to visit this now famous road race along the iconic Cape Cod shoreline looking out towards Martha's Vineyard. Tune in for inspiration amidst perspiration at the 51st Falmouth Road Race.   My Body Odyssey is a Fluent Knowledge production.  Original music by Ryan Adair Rooney.

Check them out at orchidhealth.com, and use code RAZIB when signing up to skip the waitlist. Today, Razib talks to Erik Hoel, host of the Substack The Intrinsic Perspective and author of The World Behind the World: Consciousness, Free Will, and the Limits of Science. An academic neuroscientist by training, in The World Behind the World Hoel outlines the emergence of modern neuroscience, and where it went wrong in terms of the field's researchers' focus. But first, Hoel discusses human understanding of the mind, and how it has changed over time. He gives his take on Julian Jayne's The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, and explains that it is unlikely that consciousness emerged after the Bronze Age as posited in the book. Instead, The World Behind the World argues that the differentiation between the inner world and the outer world, the intrinsic perspective of literature and psychology and the extrinsic perspective of physics and biology arose with the Classical Greeks 2,500 years ago. Hoel also observes that a modern perspective on one's inner world and psychological complexity so evident in Greco-Roman texts rapidly fades again after the fall of Rome and the regression during the Dark Ages, when literacy declined and text became refocused exclusively on the functional external world, whether it be tax records or agronomy manuals. The World Behind the World is a book-length argument fleshing out Hoel's contention that understanding consciousness is, and must be, at the heart of neuroscience. Though studies of the biology and chemistry of axons and glial cells make sense from a reductionistic perspective, Hoel makes a convincing case that contemporary neuroscience models fail to understand how the brain works. The World Behind the World suggests modern neuroscience is pre-paradigmatic, like biology before evolution or physics before Newtonian mechanics:  merely a collection of fascinating observations and detailed mechanisms. Hoel maintains that a true neuroscience theory with consciousness as its center and organizing principle is necessary to understand how the intrinsic world emerged and functions.

Dr. Peter Vermeulen, a Belgian Psychologist, is an important international voice in his constructive criticism of popular views on understanding the autistic experience. He is one of the rare professionals who dedicates much of his time and effort to applying the most recent research on human cognition to thinking deeply about the inner experiences of autistic people. And he does so in the service of making direct links to implications and strategies for support. In this episode, Barry and Dave discuss some of Peter's thought-provoking perspectives.

So many people, many of whom, because of experiences from their earlier and most formative years - have developed a low level or lack of self-esteem, self worth, and self confidence. Since we sometimes can't truly see our real selves, what we see instead and unfortunately also believe is the interpretations and judgments of other people's opinions, and reflections of who they think we are.Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we're taking back our authority and saying, I am the author of my story!Now, in the case of the eye color intervention that I did, I'm not talking about saying your eyes are blue, when they're clearly brown. I'm not talking about making things up and trying to force them. Rather, I mean we need to look closely at the beliefs that we hold and identify the stories that we tell and the identities we create. We need to check in with those from time to time from a place of understanding that we change, grow, heal, expand, learn, and transmute and every once in a while it doesn't hurt to ask; is this thing about me still true?Because let me tell you something, I know there's a ton of people out there who are sitting on a plethora of superpowers and they don't even know it - because nobody has come into their world (yet!) to reflect it back or who helps them to see themselves in a new light!If you're one of those people, I want you to know that I am here to intervene on behalf of your greatness, on behalf of your brilliance and maybe even take a little look at your bullshit too. Ha!We're all a little full of it in some particular way and sometimes it's helpful to have another person who can help you look at those places that are challenging - it's called growth. This is what the human experience is about; growing, learning, accepting and laughing at our shenanigans along the way.

What Do Grief, Loss, Hope, and Faith Have to Do With Quantum Physics? (Adapted from Season 1, Episode 7 for Throwback Thursday)Life is uncertain. You can observe that in the real world, and you will.But it takes a quantum view to really see what's happening down deep. And it's beautiful, and terrifying, and hard to understand but it explains everything.Losing my son was awful and horrifying and never stops hurting. But my work that was birthed from that pain has saved lives.And your pain can be redeemed too. Your life still has meaning and purpose despite painful circumstances. Because of superposition, because it doesn't just spin one way, it can be more than one thing at the same time.
