In this episode, Dr. Jockers reveals the simplest yet most powerful strategy to heal and protect your brain: intermittent fasting. By stabilizing blood sugar and reducing insulin levels, fasting supports mitochondrial health, which is crucial for maintaining brain function and preventing degeneration.   You'll learn how brain degeneration isn't something that happens overnight, but rather a 30–40 year process that starts early, often in childhood. Dr. Jockers explains how poor metabolic health over time can silently damage the brain, leading to conditions like dementia and Alzheimer's.   Finally, discover how intermittent fasting not only supports brain repair but also activates powerful neuroprotective mechanisms, including the production of BDNF, a critical factor for brain regeneration. It's a simple lifestyle shift with profound long-term effects on cognitive health.   In This Episode:  00:00 Introduction to Intermittent Fasting and Brain Health 02:34 The Rise of Brain Degeneration 03:41 Benefits of Intermittent Fasting 09:28 Understanding Neuroinflammation 13:02 Preparing for Intermittent Fasting 15:44 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Struggling with digestion?

After several tragic cases of teens who have died by suicide, what regulations and guardrails could make AI chatbots safer?

Around one in four Australians are failing to seek support when experiencing perinatal mental health issues. Experts say the data released by the Gidget Foundation highlights a lack of awareness around signs and symptoms, and ongoing stigma around the issue. - Неделя перинатального психического здоровья проходит с 23 по 29 ноября. По последним данным, примерно каждый четвертый австралиец не обращается за поддержкой при проблемах с психическим здоровьем в перинатальный период, то есть в период до, во время и после рождения ребенка. По мнению экспертов, эти данные, опубликованные фондом Gidget Foundation, свидетельствуют о недостаточной осведомленности о признаках и симптомах, а также о сохраняющейся стигматизации этой проблемы.

Send us a textIn this episode of NeoNews, the team returns from a brief hiatus with a refreshed format and a packed review of neonatal stories dominating recent headlines. Eli, Ben, and Daphna open with updates on RSV prevention, highlighting new MMWR data showing significant gaps in nirsevimab and maternal vaccine uptake—despite strong evidence and renewed availability. They discuss how supply chain issues, insurance delays, and vaccine confusion continue to limit access, and they emphasize the unique role neonatologists can play in counseling families early and often. The hosts also review concerning national trends in congenital syphilis, noting that many affected infants had parents who received prenatal care but were never tested—an avoidable systems failure with major downstream costs. Additional segments cover the severity of last year's influenza season, the emergence of new RSV monoclonal antibodies, and the rising use of polygenic risk scoring in IVF. The team reflects on the ethical tension between innovation and eugenics concerns, and how neonatal providers can prepare for these conversations. Finally, the deep dive explores Sherri Fink's powerful reporting on trisomy 18, variability in care across institutions, and the growing emphasis on transparent, value-driven shared decision-making with families.

A new national survey challenges the popular narrative that Irish people are largely fearful of AI, and uncovers a clear generational divide in attitudes toward it. When asked about AI and employment, the survey of 1,039 adults - conducted by Ipsos B&A on behalf of Irish tech company, the UX Design Institute - shows 41 per cent expressed a negative view, 31 per cent were positive, and 28 per cent were neutral. This suggests that while concern exists, 59 per cent are neutral or positive, indicating that most people do not see AI as an inevitable threat to jobs and are keeping an open mind about its impact. Positivity towards AI is strongest among younger adults: 42 per cent of 16-24-year-olds feel positive about AI's impact on jobs, compared with just 22 per cent of those aged 50 and over. The research also shows that AI tools have gone mainstream in Irish workplaces, with 65 per cent of employees saying they now use them in their jobs at least occasionally, and 14 per cent using them daily. This rises to 20 per cent for 16-24 year olds. "The conversation about AI and jobs has become dominated by fear," said Colman Walsh, CEO of the UX Design Institute, which has recently launched a suite of AI courses for those working in the digital space. "But our data shows a more balanced reality. Yes, some are cautious but most people are open-minded or optimistic about its potential impact. They're curious, not panicked." "That's a very healthy place for Ireland to be as we navigate this technological shift." Only 35 per cent of all adults say they never use AI at work - a figure that drops to 24 per cent among 16-24-year-olds, but rises to almost half (48 per cent) among those aged 50 and over. This highlights how generational exposure is influencing adoption. However, only 15 per cent feel very confident they're using AI to its full potential. This drops to 6 per cent amongst those aged 50 and over, showing how older workers risk being left behind. Those who feel positive about AI and are confident using it are significantly more likely to be using it often in their work. 63 per cent say that training would be valuable. This rises to 71 per cent among desk-based workers, suggesting particularly strong demand for AI training among professionals in roles where these tools are most relevant. "Irish professionals are already using AI. They just want to get better at it," Walsh added. "The findings suggest a workforce that's keen to learn and experiment, but still figuring out how to make AI part of everyday work. The next step is helping people gain the confidence and skills to use it more effectively." To help address the confidence and skills gap revealed by the survey, the UX Design Institute has launched a new suite of live online certificate courses for digital teams to harness AI in their day-to-day work. "Our training programmes bridge the gap between curiosity and confidence," Walsh added. "They are designed for anyone working in digital who wants to stay up to speed with this new world." "With AI developing at an incredible pace, we've designed these courses to be delivered live, allowing us to respond quickly to new developments and emerging best practices." The new UX Design Institute courses cover customised AI training for teams working in the digital space as well as specialist courses covering AI for UX, user research and prototyping.

For decades, most medical and biological research has been conducted primarily on male volunteers and male animals in laboratory studies. One of the main reasons was convenience - male hormone levels are more stable, whereas female hormones shift across the menstrual cycle, introducing variability that researchers historically preferred to avoid. But that convenience has come at a cost. When treatments are developed and tested mainly in males, the results don't always translate well to female physiology. This means that women have often been prescribed medications or therapies that were never fully tested on their biology. In some cases, women have experienced more side effects, reduced effectiveness, or entirely different outcomes than men. As we learn more, it's becoming clear that male and female bodies age differently too. And new anti-ageing treatments may need to take these differences into account. A new study published in the journal Ageing shows exactly why. The researchers discovered a combination of two drugs that extended lifespan in frail, elderly male mice by an impressive 73 percent from the start of treatment while also improving their mobility, endurance and memory. However, the same therapy did not provide the same benefits to female mice. They tested oxytocin, which is known to support tissue repair, along with another drug known as OT+A5i, which blocks a key pathway involved in regulating cell growth, differentiation, and death. The study involved 25-month-old mice which is roughly equivalent to a 75-year-old human. In male mice: Lifespan increased by 73 percent from the start of treatment. Median lifespan increased by 14 percent. Risk of death at any time decreased three-fold. Endurance, grip strength, and agility improved. Short-term memory improved. Blood biomarkers shifted toward younger, healthier levels. But in female mice: No significant extension of lifespan. No consistent improvements in strength or memory. Blood biomarkers did not shift in the same way. Researchers suggest several possibilities for the difference: Female inflammatory signalling pathways differ from males Hormonal environments change ageing differently in men and women The interaction between oxytocin and TGF-beta networks may not play the same role in female tissues This highlights the point that ageing is not identical in men and women, and treatments to slow ageing may need to be tailored accordingly.

Forgiveness is almost never a one-and-done action. Whether what we're forgiving is big or small, our own error or someone else's—most often, there are residual feelings of anger, hurt, or resentment to contend with.  In this guided practice, Mark Bertin addresses this tendency to compound our suffering when we hang onto these difficult emotions. He offers a way to gently surrender this extra emotional baggage so that we can fully experience the healing that forgiveness offers. Mark Bertin, MD, is a pediatrician, author, professor, and mindfulness teacher specializing in neurodevelopmental behavioral pediatrics. He's a regular contributor to Mindful.org and Psychology Today. He is the author of How Children Thrive: The Practical Science of Raising Independent, Resilient, and Happy Kids (Sounds True, 2018). Dr. Bertin resides in Pleasantville, New York. For more, visit developmentaldoctor.com.

Go Deeper Forgiveness is one of the most challenging mindful qualities to develop. Understandably, we want to feel seen and heard in our pain, and we don't want to feel like we're being walked over or making excuses for harmful behavior. From a mindfulness perspective, forgiveness holds all of these experiences in a kind of loving tension, allowing the complexities to surface.

We are joined by guests Pol Holzmer and Johannes Sedlmeir to describe their recent research that documents and organizes public arguments made about QWAC certificates.

Researchers from Virginia Tech have discovered that ultra-processed meats and beverages are the worst for brain health. Individuals who consumed one or more extra servings of either of these foods showed a significantly increased risk of developing cognitive impairments, including those associated with forms of dementia such as Alzheimer's Disease. A recent article from Children's Health Defense shared new research ranking which junk foods are most harmful to the brain — and it's not just about kids' waistlines or sugar highs. It's about how what we eat can shape how we think, learn, and even feel. Let's dig into what this new research is saying, and more importantly, what it means for our families. How Junk Food Impacts the Brain These studies found that foods loaded with refined sugar, unhealthy fats, and artificial ingredients don't just harm the body — they change how the brain functions. Think of it like this: the brain runs on clear signals, kind of like a radio station. When it's getting clean fuel — whole foods, real nutrients — that signal is clear. But when it's constantly fed ultra-processed foods, it's like turning up the static. The brain starts to lose focus, memory gets fuzzy, and mood and motivation can shift. Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs) are now known to include obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, anxiety, depression, and an increase in all-cause mortality. In fact, according to a study published in Diabetes Care, a journal of the American Diabetes Association, up to 220,000 young Americans under age 20 are likely to have Type 2 diabetes by 2060 — a 673% increase from 2017 levels. One of the studies found that people who ate a lot of processed meats, fried snacks, and sugary drinks had measurable changes in the areas of the brain that control memory and emotion. Another study showed that even short-term diets high in sugar and fat can rewire how the brain's “reward center” works — making people crave those same foods even more. A study of nearly 124,000 people found that drinking just one daily serving of artificially sweetened drinks increased the risk of a liver disease known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease or metabolic dysfunction. That means the more we eat these foods, the more our brains want them, creating a loop that's hard to break. Why Kids Are Especially Affected Recent research has shed light on a startling concern—more than 300 chemicals have been detected in babies' cord blood and placenta at birth. This discovery highlights the fact that exposure to harmful chemicals begins much earlier than we previously thought. From conception through pregnancy, toxins can pass from the mother to the fetus, raising concerns about their potential long-term effects on child development and health. Children's brains are still developing, which makes them much more sensitive to these kinds of foods. When a growing brain is constantly exposed to sugary, processed foods, it can interfere with how nerve connections form. Some of the research cited by Children's Health Defense found that kids and teens who eat a lot of junk food have more trouble with memory and learning, and can experience more mood swings or attention issues. Part of that is because junk foods crowd out the nutrients that developing brains need — like omega-3s, zinc, and iron. And part of it is chemical: those processed ingredients can actually change the way the brain's reward systems respond, which makes healthy foods less appealing over time...

Hearing loss stigma continues to be one of the biggest barriers to seeking help — even as awareness and technology improve. In this discussion, host Shari Eberts speaks with Dr. Katie Ekberg (Flinders University) and Dr. Louise Hickson (University of Queensland) about their research on hearing loss stigma — exploring how social perceptions, disclosure dilemmas, and outdated stereotypes affect help-seeking and hearing aid adoption.The conversation examines the difference between how patients, families, and clinicians view stigma, the impact of humor and self-advocacy in communication, and why changing the conversation around hearing loss—not just hearing aids—is vital to improving outcomes for millions of adults.**Research reference: Ekberg, K., & Hickson, L.

Every schoolboy has been told that, to understand human nature, we must look to our closest genetic relatives—the chimpanzees. Jane Goodall's pioneering research revealed that chimps use tools, hunt cooperatively, and engage in violent activity that looks like warfare. And from these observations, she and generations of scientists who followed in her wake have concluded that humans are essentially advanced primates, and that our behaviors—from violence to sexuality—flow from this genetic inheritance.   But what if this foundational assumption is wrong?   The Primate Myth: Why the Latest Science Leads Us to a New Theory of Human Nature is a new book by the playwright and critic Jonathan Leaf. Based on vast quantities of scientific literature, Leaf argues that recent genetic and neuroscientific discoveries are overturning decades of conventional wisdom. A landmark study published in April 2025 revealed that humans share only 86.5 percent of our genes with chimpanzees—not the 98.6 percent we've long believed. More importantly, the differences are concentrated precisely where they matter most: in the structures of our brains that govern cooperation, empathy, and language.   Leaf's thesis is both scientific and moral. If humans are not primarily aggressive primates but rather cooperative pack animals—closer in crucial ways to dolphins and wolves than to chimps—then it's high time to reconsider the natural impulses that lie at the roots of war, family, and human flourishing.   Leaf joins Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver to discuss his book and its implications.

New data has revealed the media platforms drawing Kiwi kids in, and there's been an unusual trend in the findings. NZ On Air has just released the latest update of the Where Are The Audiences research series, and data shows two in three Kiwi kids are watching YouTube every day, with less reaching for locally made content. NZ On Air's Head of Funding Amie Mills says TVNZ's trying to ensure it's in as many places as it can be in order to reach a solid audience. "It's hard, we don't have a dedicated BBC or ABC in New Zealand, TVNZ is a commercial broadcaster, so they're struggling to survive alongside the other local platforms."

Nearly three quarters of 2 to 14-year-old children are watching large amounts of YouTube content every day, often with minimal parental oversight. New research by Verian, commissioned by NZ on Air, has found the online streaming website dominated viewing, with 69 per cent of children aged 2 to 14 watching daily. Of the 12 to 14-year-olds watching YouTube, nearly 40 per cent had no parental controls at all. The data comes from an online survey answered by 1000 caregivers and children. The research also found local content is being crowded out by overseas content. In response, NZ on Air is today launching two new YouTube channels called KIDOGO and KIDOGO JUNIOR, which will feature local content it has funded. Kathryn speaks with Amie Mills, head of funding at NZ on Air.

A holy grail in business is to secure repeat business from loyal customers. And while nearly two thirds of marketers still believe that brand love motivates these repeat purchases, the reality is that more pragmatic considerations, like convenience for example, has a bigger impact on driving those repeat purchases. Marketers often idealize loyalty as a form of emotional devotion, but research shows it's driven by far more practical factors, like providing that level of convenience, product performance, and situational needs.

Researchers from Trinity and the ADAPT Research Ireland Centre for AI-Driven Digital Content Technology are leading a newly funded project to transform how AI is integrated into mobile and wireless communication systems. The NAIRA project (Native AI for Energy Efficient and Sustainable Radio Access Networks) is a pioneering initiative that envisions a new generation of intelligent, energy-aware networks capable of learning, adapting, and optimising themselves in real time. At its core, NAIRA seeks to embed AI natively within the very architecture of the Radio Access Network (RAN), moving beyond traditional approaches where AI operates as an external optimisation tool. This shift introduces Agentic AI, a new class of autonomous, goal-driven agents that can make local and collective decisions across the network. By doing so, NAIRA will enable networks that can autonomously reconfigure and optimise, while dynamically balancing energy efficiency, service quality, and operational cost. The three-year project, funded for €2.5 million via Call 7 of the Disruptive Technologies Innovation Fund (DTIF), will be coordinated by Prof. Marco Ruffini from Trinity's School of Computer Science and Statistics and ADAPT, and his co-PI, Dr Merim Dzaferagic. Industry partners include Dell Technologies, Red Hat Ltd., Intel Research and Development Ireland Ltd., Software Research Systems Ltd., and Tyndall National Institute. Prof. Marco Ruffini said: "NAIRA responds to the rapidly growing energy consumption of communication infrastructures, which is one of the most pressing global challenges - both from a logistical and sustainability perspective." "As data traffic continues to rise and connectivity becomes ubiquitous, mobile networks have emerged as a major source of energy demand within the ICT sector. NAIRA will address this issue by combining the latest innovations in AI, distributed intelligence, and Open RAN architectures to deliver a sustainable, high-performance framework for the networks of the future." Dr Merim Dzaferagic added: "By enabling intelligent collaboration among network components and continuous learning at the edge, NAIRA will demonstrate how artificial intelligence can be harnessed to drastically reduce energy use without compromising connectivity or user experience." "Its outcomes will contribute directly to Europe's green and digital transitions, setting the stage for AI-native 6G systems that are both sustainable and self-evolving." NAIRA was announced last week, along with another five newly funded DTIF projects, by Peter Burke, Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, and James Lawless, Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science. Jenny Melia, CEO, Enterprise Ireland, said: "The latest tranche of DTIF funding is an important solution for Enterprise Ireland clients in supporting them to transform and underpin their ability to scale, extend their global reach and create high-quality jobs. It is exciting to see high-potential start-ups (HPSUs) leading the development of disruptive technologies in areas such as transport logistics and quantum computing, and collaborating with established multinational companies and research institutions."

A new paper published in the Journal Nature Communications Biology investigates the link between exposure to Harmful Algal Bloom neurotoxins and the development of Alzheimer's disease signatures in the brain transcriptome of stranded common bottlenose dolphins found in Florida's Indian River Lagoon. They essentially correlated changes in the dolphin brains' DNA to chronic and acute exposure to blue green algae blooms. Dolphins serve as a "sentinel species" for Alzheimer's Diseased because they live so long and can naturally develop Alzheimer's-like neuropathological changes with age.

One in four Irish women (24%) would like to start their own business, compared to 30% of men, according to new research conducted by Amárach Research on behalf of the Local Enterprise Offices (LEOs) to mark National Women's Enterprise Day (NWED), taking place nationwide today. The research highlights that while ambition among women remains strong, significant barriers continue to hold many back, particularly financial fear, confidence, and caring commitments. Almost half of women (45%) say fear of financial instability is stopping them from starting a business, compared with 35% of men. Meanwhile, three in ten women (30%) say a lack of confidence holds them back, and one in four (24%) report that caring commitments prevent them from pursuing their entrepreneurial ambitions - more than double the rate among men (10%). The research also shows that interest in starting a business among women varies significantly by age. Younger women are the most likely to aspire to start a business, with ambition highest among those aged 18-24 (36%), before gradually declining among those aged 25-44 (28%). This drops further among women aged 45-64 (18%) and is lowest among those aged 65 and over (8%). Niamh Smyth, T.D., Minister of State for Trade Promotion, Artificial Intelligence and Digital Transformation, said, "National Women's Enterprise Day (NWED) is not just for those women who currently own or run a business, it's for all women who have a business idea and need that encouragement to take that first step. I understand the barriers faced by Women in business and regularly meet advocacy groups that share ideas on how to address some of these barriers, including issues such as underrepresentation, access to networks, access to capital, and mentorship and role models. Tackling these barriers is what makes National Women's Enterprise Day so important, and I'm proud of the role the Local Enterprise Offices have played in this. The cumulative effect of NWED has been to cultivate an entire generation of female entrepreneurs empowered with the skills, belief and support to start and grow successful businesses. Today places a spotlight on women in enterprise and boosts the visibility of women in business. This is vitally important for the next generation of female Entrepreneurs to view themselves as businesswomen" Aileen McGrath, Chair of National Women's Enterprise Day, said: "This research shows there is real ambition among Irish women to start their own business, but for too many, barriers still stand in the way. Confidence, financial concerns, and caring commitments continue to feature strongly as barriers, and that's exactly what National Women's Enterprise Day and the Local Enterprise Offices are here to help address. "Through the Local Enterprise Office network, women can access practical supports, expert mentoring, and financial advice to help turn ideas into action. Whether it's hearing from another woman who's done it, building new skills, or learning where to find funding and support, National Women's Enterprise Day shows that starting a business is possible and that no woman must do it alone. "NWED is about empowerment and reminding women that supports are there in every local authority across the country and that the Local Enterprise Offices are ready to help on the journey. The ambition is clear, our role is to help remove the barriers and give women the confidence, tools, and encouragement to take that first step." Now in its 19th year, National Women's Enterprise Day is organised by the Local Enterprise Offices with 15 events taking place across the country, bringing together some of Ireland's most inspiring and successful female entrepreneurs. Some of those involved in the events across the country this year include broadcaster and entrepreneur, Norah Casey, international human rights lawyer Joanna Frivet, author and psychologist, Dr Katriona O'Sullivan, designer Helen Steele, entrepreneur Oonagh O'Hagan, home and food influenc...

Americans pay more for health care–as a nation and individually–than citizens of any other nation on earth, even as access to health insurance continues to dwindle. And as a state, Vermont's per-person health care spending and health insurance costs are among the highest in the country.We delve into one of the reasons there's so much sticker shock–the behind-the-scenes influence of lobbyists on health care legislation as we speak with UVM professor Alex Garlick about his new book Pre-Existing Conditions: How Lobbying Makes Health Care More Expensive.Then, former Vermont Supreme Court Justice Jeffrey Amestoy has written a new legal thriller based on a murder trial in the Green Mountain State from the 1920's. We hear about Winters' Time: A Secret Pledge, a Severed Head, and the Murder That Brought America's Most Famous Lawyer to Vermont. 

For decades, nicotine has been synonymous with smoking and disease but recently people are claiming nicotine patches have been improving their health—so what's the truth? In this fascinating conversation, Vanderbilt neuroscientist and psychiatrist Dr. Paul Newhouse dives into the science to reveal the surprising ways nicotine impacts the brain, from Alzheimer's and ADHD to depression and long COVID. In this episode, we unpack: Why nicotine is not the same as tobacco What the groundbreaking MIND Trial shows about nicotine and Alzheimer's Whether nicotine can improve focus, memory, or ADHD symptoms How nicotine may regulate mood, depression, and anxiety Surprising effects on weight, hormones, and blood pressure The truth about nicotine addiction, delivery methods, and dosage ✨ This episode completely changed how I think about nicotine and its potential role in modern medicine. It's a powerful reminder to question assumptions and dig into the science behind our health beliefs. ✨ Homework: Write down one “health fact” you've always accepted as true—then do a little research to see if the science actually supports it.

Send us a textIn today's episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast we discuss a paper recently published in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) entitled, “Single Treatment With MM120 (Lysergide) in Generalized Anxiety Disorder: A Randomized Clinical Trial.” This is a report on the results from Mind Medicine's phase 2b clinical trial that Reid and I both had the pleasure of working on at Numinus Network's clinical trial site, Cedar Clinical Research. We discuss what GAD is, a brief history of LSD, why LSD might be helpful for anxiety, the study design, the difference between session monitoring vs psychedelic-assisted therapy, and more. Near the end of the episode we briefly discuss another recently published paper, this one on psilocybin and how the phenomenology of a psychedelic experience might contribute to positive psychological changes. For those of you who are new to the show, welcome!

Sodium is an essential electrolyte that supports fluid balance, nerve signaling, muscle contraction, and heartbeat coordination; even small drops in blood sodium disrupt these essential functions A Virginia Tech study found that low blood sodium amplifies the effects of flecainide, a common rhythm-control drug, by disrupting key electrical support systems between heart cells Restoring sodium to the normal range reversed conduction delays. This confirms that the effects were due to a temporary sodium imbalance People on sodium channel blockers need to monitor sodium levels closely, as common triggers like diuretics or illness cause dangerous delays in heart signal conduction Most adults do well with around 3,500 milligrams of sodium daily, especially when it comes from unprocessed, mineral-rich sources balanced by adequate potassium intake

Can You REALLY Talk to the Dead? MIT Neuroscientist Dr. Tara Swart Says Yes—And Brings the Science to Prove It What happens when one of the world's leading MIT neuroscientists, Dr. Tara Swart (Senior Lecturer at MIT Sloan and author of The Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe) loses her husband and begins receiving undeniable messages from the beyond? In this groundbreaking episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Tara Swart opens up about her journey from respected neuroscientist and leadership advisor to spiritual explorer after the sudden loss of her husband, Robin. Known globally for her work on neuroplasticity, brain science, and intuition, Dr. Swart reveals how grief led her to a profound awakening: vivid dreams, ancestral connections, angel numbers, and even a visitation she refuses to dismiss as hallucination. She blends her rigorous background in neuroscience with her lived experience, challenging us to rethink the boundaries between science and spirituality. Dr. Tara Swart breaks down: - Neuroscience of Intuition: How to train your brain to tune into instincts and signs - Near Death Experiences (NDEs) and why the brain may be filtering out reality - Grief and trauma in the body: Why talk therapy alone isn't enough - The surprising link between creativity, movement, and trauma healing - Why altered states of consciousness don't require drugs - The health benefits of ancestral healing and spiritual connection - Why beauty acts as a healing frequency for the brain - The thin line between mental illness and genius - Why she believes in angel numbers—and how they've shaped her decisions - Her most radical theory: Consciousness may not live in the brain at all This isn't just another conversation on neuroscience. Dr. Tara Swart pushes us to expand the limits of what it means to be human by merging brain science, spirituality, and the mysteries of consciousness into a powerful roadmap for life after loss, trauma, and fear.
