Podcasts about Neuroscience

This week, we are joined by Kevin Mitchell, Associate Professor of Genetics and Neuroscience at Trinity College Dublin, who has committed the unforgivable sin of pointing out that an entire academic and media hype cycle might be built on… well, very little actually. His new co-authored paper in Neuron politely dismantles the highly promoted link between the gut microbiome and autism, which turns out to rest on flawed studies, contradictory findings, creative statistics, and a touching faith in mice burying marbles.Kevin walks us through the joys of observational studies that don't replicate, mouse experiments that don't make sense, and clinical trials where there is no blinding and no control wing, and shockingly, everyone reports feeling better. Meanwhile, journalists and wellness gurus eagerly report each new “breakthrough”, unburdened by any concerns about the strength of evidence or methodological robustness.In the end, the microbiome–autism connection looks less like a sturdy scientific stool and more like three damp twigs taped together by optimism and marketing departments.We finish, naturally, by dragging Matt back out of his panpsychism phase and asking whether consciousness is really fundamental to the universe or just something that happens in podcasters who haven't slept enough.LinksMitchell, K.

Overview This special episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast was recorded live at the 2nd Annual Alzheimer's Pathobiome Initiative (AlzPI) and PCOM Symposium in collaboration with Pathobiome Perspectives. Hosted by Ali Moresco in partnership with Nikki Schultek, Executive Director of AlzPI, the conversation brings the Tick Boot Camp mission of exploring infection-associated chronic illness (IACI), like Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases, to the global Alzheimer's and neuroimmunology research community. Tick Boot Camp co-founders Matt Sabatello and Rich Johannesen partnered with Ali and Nikki to highlight scientists whose work connects tick-borne illness, microbes, and cognitive decline. This episode features Dr. Brian J. Balin, an internationally recognized neuroscientist whose research has redefined the role of infection in contributing to Alzheimer's disease. Guest Brian J. Balin, PhD Professor of Neuroscience and Neuropathology Director, Center for Chronic Disorders of Aging Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) Dr. Balin directs the Center for Chronic Disorders of Aging and the Adolph and Rose Levis Foundation Laboratory for Alzheimer's Disease Research at PCOM. With a PhD from the University of Maryland School of Medicine and postdoctoral training at the University of Pennsylvania, he has devoted nearly three decades to understanding how chronic infection and inflammation trigger neurodegeneration. His pioneering discovery that the respiratory bacterium Chlamydia pneumoniae infects brain tissue helped establish the Pathogen Hypothesis of Alzheimer's disease. His continuing work explores how tick-borne microbes — including Borrelia burgdorferi (Lyme disease), Bartonella, and Babesia — interact with other pathogens to drive neuroinflammation and cognitive decline. Key Discussion Points How infections such as Chlamydia pneumoniae, Borrelia burgdorferi, Bartonella, and Babesia were detected in Alzheimer's brain tissue. Evidence that microbes can enter the brain via the olfactory pathway or blood-brain barrier, initiating chronic inflammation, amyloid plaque formation, and tau tangle pathology. Findings from Dr. Balin's collaboration with Galaxy Diagnostics and advocate Nicole Bell, revealing polymicrobial infection and even Babesia otocoli — a strain previously believed to infect only deer — in human brain tissue. The use of animal models and 3D human brain organoids to study infection-driven neurodegeneration. Why identifying infection as part of the exposome (environmental insults over a lifetime) is key to developing precision diagnostics and treatments. Future directions: immune-modulating drugs, antimicrobials, and emerging phage therapy. “Infection is part of the exposome — an environmental insult that shapes our health over a lifetime. Recognizing that is key to truly understanding and preventing Alzheimer's disease.” — Dr. Brian J. Balin Why It Matters Dr. Balin's research bridges the worlds of neurology and infectious disease, offering a framework that could revolutionize how Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative conditions are diagnosed and treated. By recognizing that microbes — including those transmitted by ticks — can initiate neuroinflammation and cognitive decline, his work provides hope for millions living with infection-associated chronic illness. About the Event The interview took place at the 2nd Annual Alzheimer's Pathobiome Initiative (AlzPI) and Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) Symposium, October 3, 2025, Ohio University in Dublin, Ohio. The Symposium brought together more than 20 experts exploring how microbes, the microbiome, and the host immune response contribute to neurological and psychiatric diseases such as Alzheimer's, dementia, and PANS/PANDAS. Tick Boot Camp partnered with Ali Moresco and Nikki Schultek to document and share the voices of scientists advancing research on infection-associated chronic illness (IACI). This episode is part of a special series showcasing how pathobiome and microbiome science is changing our understanding of chronic Lyme and neurodegenerative disease.

How is your brain like an ant colony? They both use simple parts following simple rules which allows the whole to be so much more than the sum of the parts. Listen as neuroscientist and author Gaurav Suri explains how the mind emerges from the neural network of the brain, why habits form, why intuition often knows before language does, and why our post-hoc explanations can mislead us. The conversation then grapples with free will and responsibility without mysticism. Ultimately, Suri remains in awe of the emergent mind and at the end of the conversation makes the case for the essential importance of kindness and forgiveness.

In this In Case You Missed It episode of I Hear Design, we revisit Jennifer Kenson's feature, “Beyond Aesthetics: Biophilic Design & Neuroscience in Healthcare Spaces,” originally published on i+s. You'll hear how biophilic design in healthcare goes far beyond adding plants or wood tones—it taps into neuroscience and concepts like the “collective unconscious” and prospect-refuge theory to reduce stress responses, support healing, and improve staff well-being. Through the Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care Clinic case study, the episode explores how natural light, organic forms, intuitive wayfinding, and carefully planned staff respite areas can make a space feel genuinely restorative, not clinical. If you're an interior designer or architect working in healthcare—or simply interested in evidence-based, human-centered environments—you'll come away with practical ideas and a stronger language for advocating biophilic strategies with clients: from layout moves that calm the nervous system to materials and lighting decisions that support both patients and care teams over the long term.

Neuroscientist Explains Why You Can't “Fix” Your Dopamine You've tried to fix yourself — more routines, more tracking, more control. But neuroscience shows what you're really chasing isn't progress… it's another dopamine hit.When you constantly tweak, check, or perfect, your brain lights up — not from growth, but from anticipation. That's why stillness feels unsafe. You've trained your nervous system to equate safety with activity.Real discipline isn't about doing more. It's about learning to trust your brain's rhythm again. When you loosen your mental grip, your system finds harmony — the state where dopamine balances and focus flows naturally.If you've been tightening every string trying to hold your life together, this episode will help you tune instead of tense. Because peace isn't passive — it's powerful. 

Gratitude is the quality of being thankful and showing appreciation for what one has—whether tangible or intangible. It involves recognizing the goodness in one's life and acknowledging that this goodness often comes from sources outside oneself, such as other people, nature, or a higher power The Neuroscience of Gratitude & Its Effects on the Brain by Positive Psychology Melissa Madeson, Ph.D. and scientifically reviewed by Maike Neuhaus Ph.D. TED talk by Christina Costa The Science of Gratitude & How to Build a Gratitude Practice by Andrew Huberman "Through the eyes of gratitude, everything is a miracle."

Andrew Humberman BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Andrew Huberman has remained at the forefront of both neuroscience discourse and the booming male wellness industry in recent days, pushing headlines and stirring conversation well beyond academic circles. El País highlights how Huberman's persona and advice have become emblematic of the so-called 'Huberman husbands' phenomenon, positioning him as the most famous influencer within the “bro science” movement and dubbing him the “Goop for men.” The profile underscores Huberman's knack for blending hard science with Silicon Valley-style self-optimization, from daily light exposure rituals to cold plunges, all delivered via his massively popular Huberman Lab podcast, which boasts over 140 million views on YouTube and regular number-one rankings on podcast charts.Recent podcast episodes have featured wide-ranging topics, including a deep dive into how breathing impacts mental and physical performance and the neurobiology behind forming thoughts and focus. His interview with Dr. Jennifer Groh explored how the brain encodes perceptions and how practical strategies can improve attention and happiness. As usual, the show has been peppered with the latest research as well as clear protocols listeners can immediately apply. The Huberman Lab podcast continues to drop new episodes every Monday and Thursday, regularly trended and meticulously sponsored, with companies like Wealthfront, AG1, and LMNT heavily featured, and Huberman providing paid testimonials on air. According to disclosures, Huberman's association with sponsors like Wealthfront now carries added scrutiny, given the size of his listening audience and the potential conflicts of interest.Business activity surrounding Huberman remains robust, evidenced by the continued expansion of the Huberman Lab brand and the pre-launch push for his new book, Protocols, positioning itself as an essential guide to brain and body optimization. On social media, the term “Huberman husbands” is gaining traction, both as a badge of biohacker credibility and a point of pop-cultural debate about masculinity, wellness, and science, as noted by El País and further underscored by The New York Times coverage referenced in recent features.There have been no major public controversies or confirmed negative stories tied to Andrew Huberman this week. However, as with all high-profile wellness figures, discussions about the scientific rigor and broader societal impact of some recommendations persist, reflecting the mounting influence and ongoing scrutiny associated with his rise. Overall, his biographical trajectory in recent days is most notable for the mainstreaming of his brand and philosophy, reflecting both commercial reach and cultural cachet rarely seen for a neuroscientist.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Our memories make us who we are—just ask Barbra Streisand. But despite the lyrics in many popular songs, memories aren't frozen in time. When we call them up, the details shift and change. And neuroscience research shows that we might be able to take that a step further—to manipulate our memories and even implant false ones.Neuroscientist Steve Ramirez joins Host Ira Flatow to explain how memory manipulation could revolutionize the way we treat brain disorders. They also discuss Ramirez's book, How to Change a Memory: One Neuroscientist's Quest to Alter the Past, and how the sudden death of his friend and scientific collaborator made him rethink the role of memory.Guest: Dr. Steve Ramirez is an associate professor of psychology and brain sciences at Boston University and the author of How to Change a Memory.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

Why do you exercise?  It might be to lose weight, maintain or improve your health, reduce stress, or perhaps a combination of all of these.  But what is actually motivating you is simpler than that.  As Dr. Gary Wenk reveals in his book "Your Brian on Exercise",  you exercise because your brain needs you to move, and it will do everything it can to motivate you to do it. He provides fascinating insights into exactly what is happening to our brains when we go jogging, lift weights, swim laps, or take a walk, as well as what happens when we don't.   He'll also answer questions we all have about exercise vs diet to lose weight and perhaps, most importantly, how much exercise is enough.   For more information, transcripts, and all episodes, please visit https://thisisyourbrain.com   For more about Weill Cornell Medicine Neurological Surgery, please visit https://neurosurgery.weillcornell.org

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit innovabiz.substack.comOur guest in this episode is Scott Levy, the founder and CEO of ResultMaps. Scott is on a mission to help the world be its “inspired best” by architecting systems that clear away the “friction” of modern work. He combines a deep understanding of neuroscience with a pragmatic approach to technology, helping teams stop “fighting the currents” of their own biology and start surfing them.We had a fascinating chat about why most of us feel so burnt out (a hint: our work models are stuck in the 1920s) and how to use new tools, especially AI, as a “Lego set” to build better, more human-centric workflows.Key points discussed include:* Working with your brain, not against it, by understanding your natural peak performance cycles.* Using AI as a “Lego set” to build small, focused solutions that solve real friction points.* How AI forces us to be clearer, accidentally training us to be better human communicators.Listen to the podcast to find out more.Innovabiz Substack is a reader-supported publication.

Scott's mission is a big one: to help the world be its “inspired best.” Now, that's a goal I can truly get behind. But as we dug into our conversation, it became clear that the biggest thing holding most teams back isn't a lack of drive or even a lack of tools. It's the invisible, day-to-day friction in how we work.Scott has this fantastic way of looking at the modern work environment, and he kicked things off by explaining that most of us are, quite frankly, just “swimming upstream” against our own biology. We're fighting a battle we can't win, and it's leading to massive burnout. It's a feeling I think we all know well, that sense of being completely overwhelmed and overworked, which, as Scott so perfectly put it, “just plain sucks.”Now, as for the antidote to things that ‘plain suck'...That feeling of being overwhelmed... it's also the exact starting point for the rest of our fascinating conversation, and for the deeper work I'm exploring.This podcast is the beginning of the conversation, but the personal reflections—the “why” behind what was said—are where the real journey begins.If you'd like to read the rest of this post, where Scott shares his brilliant “surfer” and “Lego” analogies for navigating our brains and our technology, I'd love to invite you to become a paid subscriber.A subscription unlocks these full, detailed show notes, but more importantly, it welcomes you into a quieter space. It's where I share my private, 3x-a-week reflections on these conversations about AI, the “behind-the-lens” stories from my photography, and the personal meditations that connect them all.It's a place for the curious, and I'd be honoured to share it with you.

"It is my life that I claim. That sense of empowerment wouldn't have happened without the Process." Ana Bok Today's conversation with Hoffman graduate Ana Bok begins with Ana sharing a story that happened three years after her Process. Her week at Hoffman provided a powerful foundation that would come to help guide her through a tough time. Since childhood, Ana's dream has been to become a doctor. At age fourteen, she came to the United States. After graduating with her undergraduate degree in  Neuroscience with a concentration in Behavioral Studies, Ana planned to attend Yale Medical School. But first, she was a post-graduate research associate at a child psychiatry research lab at the Yale Child Study Center. She was on her way to her long-held dream. But there, Ana found herself in inner turmoil and conflict. Already a Hoffman grad, Ana had thought to herself that after the Process, she was on her "right road" and that everything was "supposed to work." She didn't know what was wrong, but she knew her Quadrinity was out of alignment. Listen in to hear Ana tell about this pivotal moment along the journey of her life. The Process offers a powerful foundation for navigating life. Ana found hope at the Process. Hope and her Spiritual Self guided Ana through this difficult time. Ana's story is powerful because it reminds us that after doing the Process, life is still life. How life works hasn't changed, but we have. We hope you enjoy this deeply vulnerable and moving conversation with Ana and Drew. More about Ana Bok: Ana was born in Korea, raised in China, and moved to the U.S. alone at age fourteen. She studied Neuroscience with a concentration in Behavioral Studies at Columbia University and spent five years researching molecular pathobiology and pain mechanisms during and after college. In 2022, Ana attended the Hoffman Process, which affirmed her deep interest in child and adolescent mental health.  Ana recently completed two years of postgraduate training at the Yale Child Study Center. She continues her research on obsessive-compulsive disorder at the Yale School of Medicine. Fascinated by the intersection of science and spirituality, Ana hopes to one day integrate spirituality into early mental health interventions. Alongside her research, Ana has mentored middle and high school students, supporting their academic and personal growth. Ana served as a NYC Hoffman Graduate Group Leader in 2022–2023 before her fellowship at Yale and recently returned as a co-facilitator for the NYC Uptown Hoffman group. She welcomes connections from fellow Hoffman graduates and can be reached at dianabok.connect@gmail.com. Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify As mentioned in this episode: Left Road/Right Road: The left road represents repeating patterns from your past, while the right road is the path of authenticity, choice, and self-responsibility. The Quadrinity™ Symbol Bob Hoffman designed the Hoffman Quadrinity™ Symbol in 1967 to represent the wholeness of Self. The circle represents the Body; the large vertical diamond in the middle represents the Spirit; the 2 smaller horizontal diamond shapes represent the Intellect and Emotions. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.   Korean fortune-telling: "Saju" is a traditional Korean fortune-telling system that analyzes an individual's birth year, month, day, and hour to create a personal profile. It is a widely practiced cultural tradition for seeking guidance on personality, relationships, career, and life path. It is often used for entertainment as well as for serious life decisions. Rooted in ancient Chinese metaphysics, saju calculates cosmic energy at the time of birth to provide insights into one's destiny.   

What if sadness, frustration, and anger weren't problems—but instructions?In this solo episode, Michael explores three everyday emotions—sadness, frustration, and anger—and shows how each one carries a message. This episode doesn't tell you to “feel better.” It asks better questions. Why does a heavy mood arrive out of nowhere? Why does a tiny obstacle spark a huge reaction? And what if that surge of heat isn't “too much,” but a message you haven't learned to read yet?Across three familiar emotions—sadness, frustration, anger—you'll be invited to listen in new ways, try small experiments, and notice what shifts when you don't rush to fix or perform. No neat answers, just a clearer path: pause, pay attention, and let the body's signals point to the next right step. If you're curious about what your feelings are asking for, press play and find out.—-------—-------—-Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:03:06 What Sadness Signals00:03:54 Vipassana Story: Missing Someone00:09:11 Neuroscience of Sadness (ACC/Insula)00:10:09 Power of Being Witnessed00:14:27 Numbing & Dorsal Vagal Shutdown00:16:11 Short Grounding for Sadness00:18:25 Shifting to Frustration00:24:01 Prediction Error & Dopamine Dip00:27:39 When Disagreement Triggers You00:29:10 Enter Anger: Boundary Energy00:31:06 Frustration vs. Anger (Definitions)00:32:37 Escape Room Example00:35:44 Integrating Questions00:39:40 Closing Meditation & Mantras—-------—-------—-

Imagine what it's like to lose your ability to speak. You know what you want to say, but the connection between your brain and the muscles that form words is no longer functioning. For people with conditions like ALS, or who experience a severe stroke, this is a devastating reality. Today's guest is Erin Kunz, a postdoctoral researcher in the Neural Prosthetics Translational Laboratory at Stanford, who is part of a global community of scientists working towards the vision of a brain–computer interface — or BCI — to bypass those broken circuits and restore the ability to speak to people with paralysis.We discuss how these BCIs work and the inspiring progress the tech has made in recent years, as well as the troubling question of whether a technology designed to decode what people intend to say from their brain activity could one day read out thoughts they never intended to communicate?Learn MoreStudy of promising speech-enabling interface offers hope for restoring communication (Stanford Medicine, 2025)For Some Patients, the ‘Inner Voice' May Soon Be Audible (The New York Times, 2025)These brain implants speak your mind — even when you don't want to (NPR, 2025)A mind-reading brain implant that comes with password protection(Nature, 2025)How neural prosthetics could free minds trapped by brain injury(From Our Neurons to Yours, 2024)Brain implants, software guide speech-disabled person's intended words to computer screen (Stanford Medicine, 2023)Software turns ‘mental handwriting' into on-screen words, sentences (Stanford Medicine, 2021)Send us a text!Thanks for listening!

Many of us know about someone who seemed perfectly healthy, and then one day, without warning, they had a cardiac event. No symptoms on the surface, and no sign their heart was struggling behind the scenes. We've been taught to think of sudden cardiac death as something random and unstoppable: a tragic event with no warning and no chance of prevention. But the truth is: up to 63% of sudden cardiac deaths could be avoided with simple, consistent lifestyle choices. Not pills or high-tech devices, just the way we live every day. That's the message buried inside the latest data that most people, including doctors, aren't talking about. Better cardiorespiratory fitness can outweigh the risk posed by obesity. A handful of nuts and a walk might protect you more than a statin ever could. Even your attitude, your sense of connection, your stress response, and your sleep can shift the odds in your favor. Yet most people still believe sudden cardiac events are just "bad luck" or genetics. They don't realize how much control they actually have. And when lifestyle is this powerful, the real question isn't "What's my risk?" It's "What can I do today to lower it?" In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Ronney Shantouf, a preventive cardiologist who bridges both sides of medicine: procedures that save lives in the moment, and lifestyle changes that prevent the crisis from ever happening.  We get into what actually lowers the risk of sudden cardiac death, and what most people get wrong about it. Things You'll Learn In This Episode Lifestyle can beat the odds Up to 40–63% of sudden cardiac deaths are preventable through behavior, not medication. So if genetics isn't destiny, what daily choices create the biggest impact? Not all exercise is equal Consistent, moderate activity dramatically lowers SCD risk. But sudden bursts of vigorous exercise? They can temporarily increase it. How do you train smarter, not just harder? Food isn't fuel, it's a signal Whether you're low-carb, plant-forward, or Mediterranean, one pattern wins: real, minimally processed food. What are the dietary patterns that protect your heart, and the ones that quietly push risk higher? Stress and sleep don't just affect heart health; they can trigger it Emotional stress can provoke dangerous spasms and arrhythmias. Poor sleep creates inflammatory conditions the heart can't hide from. How can we stop treating stress and sleep as "soft" lifestyle advice and see them as medical priorities?   About our Guest Dr. Ronney Shantouf, MD, is a Staff Physician at the Heart, Vascular & Thoracic Institute at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, where he serves in multiple leadership roles, including Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Lab, co-Director of the Complex Coronary Program, and co-Director of the Invasive Coronary Spasm and Microvascular Dysfunction Program. In addition to performing advanced interventional procedures, he oversees the Cardiac Wellness Program and specializes in cardiac prevention and advanced lipid management. Before joining Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, Dr. Shantouf was a Health Sciences Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. There, he served as Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Lab at Olive View-UCLA Medical Center and chaired the Cardiology Education Course for the Internal Medicine Residency Program. Dr. Shantouf is triple-board certified in Internal Medicine, General Cardiology, and Interventional Cardiology. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and his Medical Degree from UCLA, graduating summa cum laude. He completed his Internal Medicine training at UCLA Medical Center, followed by a General Cardiology fellowship at Harbor-UCLA and an Interventional Cardiology fellowship at USC.

Success in business isn't just about working harder. Dr. Eugene K. Choi highlights the importance of recognizing when we're stuck in survival mode and intentionally shifting to the executive state, where creativity, empathy, and better decisions thrive. Many of us spend about 70% of our adult lives in a stress-driven survival state. Imagine the impact if leaders could operate from the executive state more often. It starts with self-awareness. Fight, flight, and freeze responses often appear subtly - as overworking, avoidance, or busywork - quietly holding leaders and teams back. In the latest episode of A Better HR Business, I speak with Dr. Eugene K. Choi, PharmD, BCPS, a neuroscience-based leadership coach, about how leaders can rewire their minds to access their best thinking and potential. We've talked about: Why most leaders unknowingly operate in a survival state and how it limits productivity. How emotional triggers sabotage decision-making and team culture. Practical neuroscience techniques - meditation, exercise, emotion-labeling—to rewire your brain and shift your mindset. P.I.E. Theory of Success: Performance, Image, and Exposure - and why the right order matters. The power of storytelling, emotional resonance, and authenticity in leadership and marketing. Strategies for breaking free from self-sabotage and building impactful habits. If you're ready to go beyond “working harder” and lead from the executive state, this episode is full of actionable tools for high-stress business environments.

Why are we so much harsher on ourselves than we are on others? In this episode of Super Brain, I explore the neuroscience of self-compassion — what it is, what it isn't, and why it's the antidote to self-criticism.Drawing on the work of Dr Kristin Neff and Buddhist philosophy, we'll look at self-compassion as a three-part skill: self-kindness, mindfulness, and social connection. I'll share research showing how self-compassion reduces stress, quiets the amygdala, and activates brain regions linked to empathy and emotional regulation.I'll also explain why self-criticism is a form of self-harm, and why self-compassion is a foundation for flourishing and manifesting happiness, resilience, and contentment.As always, I'll wrap up with my Tools in Three — simple ways you can start turning up your brain's kindness switch today.Each episode explores what's really going on inside your brain when you do the things you do — from the everyday to the extraordinary — and gives you three tools for your Super Brain kit.

The band Phish has toured for over 40 years. One of the draws of their legendary live shows—which can go on for 8 hours—is finding moments of “flow,” when the band members lock into an improvised jam, finding new musical ideas in real time.Phish fans live for these transcendent moments, but so do the musicians—to the point that Mike Gordon, the band's bass player, is funding scientific research to better understand flow state.Host Flora Lichtman sits down with Mike and his research collaborator, neuroscientist Greg Appelbaum, to unpack their research so far and how it's helping to inform other neuroscience.Guests:Mike Gordon is bassist and co-founder of the rock band Phish. Dr. Greg Appelbaum is a professor in the department of psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.  Subscribe to this podcast.

Send us a textEver wish you could quiet the story in your head without having to relive it? We sit down with Marine veteran and defense-tech CEO Tony Crescenzo to explore a practical, science-backed way to downshift the nervous system using neuroacoustic entrainment. Tony opens up about the years he spent running hot—rage, hypervigilance, and fractured sleep—and how a targeted audio protocol shifted his sleep from barely restorative to deeply replenishing. The conversation gets real about why so many first responders and veterans avoid talk therapy, and how culturally aware approaches can make all the difference.We break down the sleep architecture behind feeling human again. Slow wave sleep restores the body; REM sleep stabilizes emotion and consolidates memory. Tony shares research showing meaningful gains in both, along with a 9% boost in threat recognition—vital for police, fire, EMS, dispatchers, and military communities where seconds matter. You'll hear how suppressing the prefrontal “rumination engine” while opening the anterior cingulate, parietal, and occipital regions enables somatic processing: the body digests stress so the mind can stand down.Then we zoom out to cognitive resilience—the brain's ability to adapt quickly under pressure. Using EEG-guided and AI-personalized protocols, entrainment builds coherence front-to-back and left-to-right, easing brain fog and improving metabolic efficiency. The result is a steadier baseline, faster recovery after spikes, and sleep that actually repairs. If you've been stuck between white-knuckle coping and sterile clinical answers, this is a credible path you can start at home, including free app tracks for power naps, rumination relief, and sleep support.How to reach Jonathan: 1) https://www.IntelligentWaves.com 2) https://www.PeakNeuro.com3) https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonycrescenzo/Freed.ai: We'll Do Your SOAP Notes!Freed AI converts conversations into SOAP note.Use code Steve50 for $50 off the 1st month!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Over the past decades, neuroscience has blossomed, positioning itself as a kind of master discipline over everything else. For who understands the brain surely understands all of human activity and creation? Or not?Neuroscience's reach has extended past its scientific remit and into the world of philosophy and its major questions. What is a human? What is consciousness? Are we free? And so on. Yet its utility in this field, and in general, is still being fiercely debated, with its proponents and detractors arguing on the one side that it is the key to the universe, and on the other that it is a bunch of garbage.Join this engaging conversation from 2011 where Iain McGilchrist, famous psychologist and researcher of the brain, the late neuroscientist and neurobiologist Colin Blakemore, and journalist Bryan Appleyard delve into the nitty-gritty of neuroscience and what it has to say on major philosophical questions.

Many Civilizations confuse anesthesia with peace. Likewise, many men hide behind polished restraint, while mistaking numbness for nobility. Their smiles function as fences; their empathy, as anesthetic. They imitate kindness the way machines imitate breath—accurate, efficient, even lifeless. This counterfeit softness originates not in compassion but in fear—the reflex of a boy who learned that “tendernism” invited punishment. He grows into a man who calls avoidance “balance,” submission from the other “respect,” and self-erasure “love.” Psychiatry observes this as the fawn response: appeasement weaponized as a tool of survival. Neuroscience reveals its circuitry—cortisol suppressed by oxytocin, adrenaline redirected into charm. Anthropology names it the domestication of the male spirit: the tribe praises his calm while his vitality dies under applause of performance based acceptance. Religion sanctifies the same paralysis, rewarding meekness without presence, obedience without awareness. Such manhood performs serenity yet radiates suffocation. He cannot create; he can only consent.

In this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, motivational speaker and author Carla Ondrasik joins Karol to discuss her inspiring new book, Stop Trying. Carla explains how shifting your mindset from “trying” to “doing” can transform your life, career, and relationships. She opens up about her personal journey, the power of self-awareness, and why true motivation comes after action—not before it. The two also explore how fear of success can hold people back and why it’s never too late to start moving toward your goals.

Do you have an uncanny recall for faces? Have you ever recognised the same extra in TV shows that are decades apart? If so you could be part of the small number of super recognisers. Research from the University of New South Wales indicates they naturally pick out the most useful parts of a given face to help commit it to memory. So what else have scientists uncovered about this elite cohort? Dr David Robertson, a senior lecturer in psychology at the University of Strathclyde, talks to Ian Sample about what life is like for super recognisers, and how their powers could be put to use for the public good.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by advice to “hack your dopamine,” or wondered why traditional approaches feel incomplete, this interview with Dr. Miguel Toribio-Mateas, “The Creative Scientist,” delivers refreshing insights and compassionate tools for thriving as a neurodivergent human. ADHDers often spend years trying to “fix” themselves from the outside in—through medication, planners, routines, and hacks—only to discover that true thriving might come from learning to listen to and trust their bodies. Dr Miguel introduces the concept of embodied neuroscience and explains why ADHD is far more than a brain-based disorder, unraveling the complex interplay between our nervous system, gut health, hormones, and emotional regulation.Get ready to rethink what it means to support ADHD—from the inside out.Episode Highlights:It's Not Just Dopamine: Sure, dopamine's part of the story. But Dr Miguel reminds us it's just one instrument in a much bigger orchestra of brain and body chemistry. ADHD isn't just a “brain disorder”—it's an embodied experience, affected by everything from our gut health to our hormones and daily rhythms.Stop Trying to “Hack” Yourself: Instead of endless hacks, planners, and productivity tools, what if we tuned into our internal signals? Think: listening to hunger cues, taking movement breaks, honoring our need for rest—a holistic approach that begins on the inside.Self-Trust Is Everything: If you've ever struggled to trust your thoughts, feelings, or impulses, you're not alone. The conversation offered hope: as we learn to regulate (and accept!) our unique internal ecosystem, intuition and awareness can flourish.Bringing it Back Home: Instead of survival mode, Dr. Miguel encourages us to “come back home” to ourselves—filling our cups with connection, nourishment, movement, and acceptance, rather than burning out on outside fixes. There's no quick hack for radical self-acceptance, but embracing all facets of our ADHD is a powerful start.ADHD as an Advantage: Messy, complex, and beautifully curious—these traits can be assets in business and life. Don't let anyone oversimplify you! Meet Our Guest Dr Miguel Toribio-Mateas is a clinical neuroscientist, applied microbiologist, and nutritionist whose work bridges brain, body, and lived experience. For over 2 decades, he has explored how the gut, nervous system, and microbiome shape mood, focus, and emotional balance. Miguel is an Honorary Research Fellow at Cardiff University's School of Psychology and lectures in nutrition at the University of West London. His forthcoming book, “ADHD Body and Mind” (Jessica Kingsley Publishers) will be published in 2026.

Many Civilizations confuse anesthesia with peace. Likewise, many men hide behind polished restraint, while mistaking numbness for nobility. Their smiles function as fences; their empathy, as anesthetic. They imitate kindness the way machines imitate breath—accurate, efficient, even lifeless. This counterfeit softness originates not in compassion but in fear—the reflex of a boy who learned that “tendernism” invited punishment. He grows into a man who calls avoidance “balance,” submission from the other “respect,” and self-erasure “love.” Psychiatry observes this as the fawn response: appeasement weaponized as a tool of survival. Neuroscience reveals its circuitry—cortisol suppressed by oxytocin, adrenaline redirected into charm. Anthropology names it the domestication of the male spirit: the tribe praises his calm while his vitality dies under applause of performance based acceptance. Religion sanctifies the same paralysis, rewarding meekness without presence, obedience without awareness. Such manhood performs serenity yet radiates suffocation. He cannot create; he can only consent.
