What if intelligence isn’t a fixed score, but a story you get to keep rewriting? If you’ve ever felt underestimated, overlooked, or boxed in by labels, this episode will help you rise above them and unlock the brilliance within you. Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman was once placed in special education and told he didn’t belong in “gifted” programs. Yet today he’s one of the most respected cognitive scientists of our time. His journey proves that labels—“broken,” “disabled,” “not smart enough”—don’t define your destiny. In this powerful conversation, Scott and I explore how to rethink intelligence, potential, and even Maslow’s famous hierarchy. You’ll discover why IQ tests miss the most important parts of your mind, how neurodiverse traits like ADHD and dyslexia can be hidden superpowers, and why self-actualization isn’t about climbing a pyramid—it’s about learning to sail your own ship. By the end, you’ll see that your potential is not a number. It’s not predetermined. It’s a moving target you can expand every day with passion, perseverance, and belief. / / / Are you ready to take the next step on your brain optimization journey? / / / Choose your own adventure.

What if you could get twice the health and brain benefits of traditional cardio in just five minutes? I know, it sounds impossible. Most people think they need to spend 45 minutes on a treadmill to see real results, but the science shows otherwise. In today’s episode, I’m diving into one of the smartest, most time-efficient workouts I’ve ever come across. It’s called REHIT and studies show it can improve your VO2 max, boost your mood, supercharge learning and even cut your risk of metabolic disease by over 60%. I’ll share how this simple shift in training can literally rewire your brain for focus, memory, and performance, while giving you back hours of your life each week.

You’ll learn simple, practical steps to reclaim your attention, rebuild genuine community and design your own “screen-free sabbatical,” even if you only start with two hours a week.

Your brain might be sabotaging you without you even knowing it. Millions of us are walking around with invisible brain injuries from childhood falls, sports hits, or even emotional trauma that happened decades ago. These hidden wounds could be why names slip through your memory like water or why you snap at loved ones over nothing. I've spent years diving deep into brain recovery science, and what I've learned will shock you. That concussion you got playing soccer in high school? It's still affecting your focus today. The car accident you barely remember? It might explain your brain fog. Even if you think you've never had a brain injury, the statistics say otherwise - and the symptoms are everywhere. In this conversation with Dr. Scott Sherr, we expose the truth about brain injuries that doctors miss and reveal cutting-edge recovery methods he uses at Hyperbaric Medical Solutions that can regenerate your brain tissue years after the damage occurred. We're talking about therapies that increase oxygen delivery to your brain, technologies that create new blood vessels where dead tissue used to be and simple compounds that can reboot your cellular energy production. The most powerful revelation? Your brain desperately wants to heal itself - it just needs the right conditions and in this episode we break down exactly how to create those conditions. / / / Are you ready to take the next step on your brain optimization journey? / / / Choose your own adventure.

Your brain deletes and distorts information constantly—which means most of what you think you've forgotten was never properly encoded in the first place.  I've spent decades studying how memory actually works, and here's what I've discovered: the difference between people who seem to have "photographic" memories and those who struggle isn't genetics or luck. It's technique. Most memory advice focuses on tricks and shortcuts, but I'm going to show you something more fundamental. Your memory operates on three core principles that, once you understand them, will transform how you absorb and retain information. The first principle challenges everything you think you know about why you forget things. The second reveals why exaggeration and emotion aren't just helpful—they're essential for long-term retention. The third explains why trying harder to remember often makes your recall worse. I'll walk you through the exact three-minute daily routine I use to keep my memory sharp, plus the neuroassociative technique that memory champions rely on to store vast amounts of information. You'll also discover why asking the right questions while reading can triple your retention rate, and how the explanation effect can make any new information stick permanently. Your memory isn't fixed. It's trainable. And by the end of this episode, you'll know exactly how to train it. / / / Are you ready to take the next step on your brain optimization journey? / / / Choose your own adventure.

Ever wonder how someone managing half a trillion dollars daily avoids complete burnout? The secret isn't what most people think – it's not about eliminating stress, but optimizing it. The most successful leaders embrace a shocking truth: they lose almost half the time. I discovered something counterintuitive through this interview: your peak performance doesn't happen at zero stress. Different tasks require different stress levels to unlock your best work. A powerlifter needs high activation for maximum output, while a chess player performs optimally at lower stress levels. Understanding your personal stress curve changes everything about how you approach challenges. Sebastian's journey from nearly dying due to goal-induced blindness to mastering stress allocation reveals why so many high achievers burn out. They're not necessarily doing too much – they're doing too little of what actually matters. When you separate the signal from the noise, stress becomes a tool rather than a burden. This conversation dives deep into the neuroscience of decision-making under pressure, team-level flow states, and why your brain burns 6,000 calories during intense mental work. Sebastian also shares his exact protocols for managing decision fatigue, from his wardrobe automation to breathing techniques before high-stakes TV appearances. / / / Are you ready to take the next step on your brain optimization journey? / / / Choose your own adventure.

How can you work through the pain, anger, and resentment from childhood caused by the adults in your life? As many of you know, I had a teacher call me the boy with the broken brain. What was a comment intended to keep other kids from picking on me instead became a hurtful label that took years to overcome. Every time I couldn’t do a task or assignment; it reinforced the idea that I was broken. This is a topic that is very personal for me. I’ve had to work through these harmful labels on a personal level before I was able to help others do the same. Adults needs to be very careful with their external words because they often become a child’s internal words. Every time that child faces an obstacle, those words will become reinforced. If you have negative labels you’re working to overcome so that you can move into a place of healing and transformation, this episode is for you. / / / Are you ready to take the next step on your brain optimization journey? / / / Choose your own adventure.

What if the key to navigating uncertainty and making truly aligned decisions lies not just in logic, but in an ancient wisdom tradition? I was fascinated to learn from Hrund Gunnsteinsdottir about 'Innsæi: Heal, Revive and Reset with the Icelandic Art of Intuition’, which she beautifully describes as 'the sea within.' This isn't about vague hunches; it’s an effective way to harness unconscious information for better choices and actions, especially when facing the unknown. We delve into how you can cultivate this 'inner compass'—learning to 'see within' to distinguish intuition from biases, and 'see from the inside out' to navigate life's turbulence. Discover why your attention is the gateway to this power and how simple practices, like keeping an attention journal, can help you regain ownership of it. You’ll also understand the 'two rhythms' of knowing when to switch between analysis and intuition, transforming how you approach problems and become more prepared for the unexpected. It's about developing this innate skill, like a muscle, for long-term success and a deeper connection to your own inner genius. / / / Are you ready to take the next step on your brain optimization journey? / / / Choose your own adventure.

What if the key to unlocking your potential lies not in certainty, but in deliberately seeking the unknown? I sat down with Alex Hutchinson, author of 'The Explorer's Gene: Why We Seek Big Challenges, New Flavors, and the Blank Spots on the Map,' to really dig into the science behind our innate drive to explore.

You'll discover why developing a tolerance for uncertainty and discomfort isn't just for extreme adventurers – it's a trainable skill crucial for growth. Learn how predictive processing helps explain our complex relationship with the unknown and why finding that sweet spot of challenge feels so good.

Ever wonder if your relentless productivity is hiding a deeper pain? Our host & CEO Alexis Banc has been there—juggling the roles of caregiver, entrepreneur and nurturer while feeling an underlying emptiness that no amount of busyness can erase.

How do you build a team that genuinely cares for each other? You already know how important building your positive peer group is for your brain.

How can you rest your brain throughout the day to keep it functioning at its best? When thinking about ways to rest your body and mind, you probably think of things like sleep, meditation, breathwork, stretching, or other forms of relaxation. And while those are all incredibly valuable resources, there is one other type of cognitive rest that you already practice unconsciously. I’m excited to dive deep on this topic in today’s episode. Throughout the day, you naturally rest your brain whenever you zone out. You’re activating your default mode network and there are tremendous advantages to giving your brain this type of restorative downtime. When you’re not actively engaged in a task that requires a lot of attention, your brain switches to the default mode network. This means your brain is no longer utilizing energy for conscious tasks, allowing it to rest and recover. Listen in as I explain how you can activate your default mode network throughout your day to stay sharp all day long. / / / Are you ready to take the next step on your brain optimization journey? / / / Choose your own adventure.

What is synesthesia? Can you imagine a world where you can taste words, see numbers as colors, or hear sound as textures? This is how roughly 4% of the population experiences the world. And while we’ve known about this fascinating phenomenon for well over two hundred years, what exactly causes this unusual affliction still remains a mystery. I’m excited to explore this topic with you today. Synesthesia is an intriguing neurological condition where the cognitive pathways of the senses become intertwined. That cross-sensory stimulation offers a unique glimpse into the inner workings of the brain. Synesthesia is often associated with highly creative people in literature, music, and art. Their ability to experience the world differently allows for new and interesting ideas to emerge. Listen in as I talk about the different types of synesthesia, what the benefits of this phenomenon can be, and how you might put these insights to use. / / / Are you ready to take the next step on your brain optimization journey? / / / Choose your own adventure.

What are the three keys to winning the morning so you can win the day? When you look at highly productive and successful people, they often have a morning routine. Habits become triggers for other similar behavior because of the messages inherent in those actions. That’s why you need to be mindful about what habits you reinforce so that you don’t just validate the person you currently are but encourage who you want to become. I’m excited to welcome Dr. Rangan Chatterjee back to our show. Dr. Chatterjee is a practicing physician, star of the popular BBC One series, Doctor in the House, and author five bestselling books. He’s here to talk about how you can instill simply yet powerful habits for your health and happiness. Often, the most effective things are the simplest. But simplicity can easily become an excuse for not engaging in that behavior. The truth is habits are nothing more than a small promise you make to yourself—and then keep.

People go to therapy to get support for a wide range of reasons. You might want short-term guidance dealing with grief or sudden life changes. Or perhaps you need support dealing with the long-lasting effects of trauma. But instead of spending years in traditional talk therapy, an emerging new treatment is making it possible to heal and recover faster and more effectively. On today’s episode, I’m going to talk about brain-based therapy. This approach combines neurology and psychology, focusing on understanding the role neuroplasticity plays in enhancing the positive results of therapy. Psychological distress can impact your brain by embedding deep in your neural networks and influencing your nervous system on a daily basis. If left long enough, those pathways can be difficult to untangle, leaving you feeling helpless and overwhelmed. Listen in as I explain how you can use these tools in your current treatment to help rewire your brain, improve your mood, and effectively change your behavior. / / / Are you ready to take the next step on your brain optimization journey? / / / Choose your own adventure.

How important is rest to your productivity, well-being, and overall health? The statistics on stress and fatigue are startling. In the UK, half a million people suffer from work-related stress. In the US, 13% of workplace injuries occur due to fatigue. More than a quarter of the population has fallen asleep at work, and even more worrying, 16% while driving. It’s clear people are experiencing a rest crisis. But what can we do about it? Today’s guest challenges the idea that rest and productivity are at odds. Claudia Hammond an award-winning broadcaster, psychology lecturer, and host of several podcasts and radio shows. She’s also the bestselling of authors of several books, including The Art of Rest: How to Find Respite in the Modern Age.

Is there anything you can start doing right now to protect your cognitive health as you age? Dementia and Alzheimer’s are often viewed as an inevitable risk of aging. In fact, approximately 64% of Americans say their biggest fear around getting older is dementia. It’s not an irrational fear. By 2040, it’s estimated that over 11 million American’s will be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t hope. Today’s guest challenges many assumptions around aging and brain health. Dr. Heather Sandison is a renowned naturopathic doctor specializing in neurocognitive medicine. She’s the founder of Solcere Health Clinic, San Diego’s premier brain optimization clinic, and Marama, a residential program turning memory care into memory recovery. Dr. Sandison is also the author of the bestselling book, Reversing Alzheimer’s: The New Toolkit to Improve Cognition and Protect Brain Health. Decades before you ever experience a sign or symptom of Alzheimer’s disease, your brain is already changing. But you don’t have to hope for a miracle drug or treatment because there are proactive steps you can take right now. Listen in as Dr. Sandison shares the critical lifestyle factors that contribute the most to cognitive health so you can support your brain health as you age. / / / Are you ready to take the next step on your brain optimization journey? / / / Choose your own adventure.

Is achieving a work-life balance a realistic goal in today’s modern age? It can often feel like there is no winning when it comes to balancing all areas of your life.

How do you acknowledge and give yourself permission to process both the big and small losses of life? We all go through difficult times, and sometimes, you might find yourself carrying a sense of sadness, or a heaviness that’s difficult to articulate.

What if there was a scientific approach to manifesting your biggest dreams? Manifesting can be seen as wishful thinking. Even people who believe in it tend to think of it as the law of attraction rather than the brain playing an active role.

What is actually happening in your brain when you’re in a stressed-out state of mind? Even though stress has become an inescapable part of daily life, that doesn’t mean all stress is bad. You need a certain amount of stress to reach a state of productivity and focus. But your brain registers negative information more than positive. That’s why it’s important to learn how to combat stress effectively so that it doesn’t harm your nervous system and brain. I’m excited to welcome Nicole Vignola to our show today.

But if you always give in to an urge, you’re going to reinforce your response to that behavior. Listen in as Nicole explains why negativity bias can be so powerful and shares tools to help you regulate your stress response. / / / Are you ready to take the next step on your brain optimization journey? / / / Choose your own adventure.

Has our understanding of autism changed how we treat and diagnose the disorder? According to the CDC, one in thirty-six children in the US have autism. Unlike many other medical conditions, the diagnosis of autism is done based purely on behavior. That ignores the environmental and genetic factors that can contribute to autism and can cause children to be misdiagnosed for years in their early development. But this might start to change. I’m excited to welcome Dr. Karen Parker to the show today. Dr. Parker directs the Social Neurosciences Research Program at Stanford University. She seeks to understand the biological basis of social functioning to drive diagnostic and treatment advances in people with social impairment. Autism is a very poorly understood disorder and there are still many obstacles in the field of autism research. But exciting research coming out of Stanford University might lead to pivotal insights into a new theory about a key driving force for autism. Listen in as Dr. Parker shares her insights on autism research, contributing factors, and how early interventions and treatments can help your child. / / / Are you ready to take the next step on your brain optimization journey? / / / Choose your own adventure.

How has the diagnosis, treatment, and understanding of autism changed? In the United States, an estimated one in thirty-six children has been diagnosed with autism. But missing those early signs is one of the biggest challenges parents face. Even though there is a lot of new research, many parents find that once their child is diagnosed, they’re still navigating the complex terrain of autism without a map. Our guest today, Dr. Suzanne Goh, is a pediatric neurologist who has spent decades working with autism. Dr. Goh’s research led her to develop an innovative, whole-child approach to treating autistic children. She is also the author of Magnificent Minds: The New Whole Child Approach to Autism. While autism can present its own challenges, it doesn’t have to close more doors than it opens. In fact, with the right approach and understanding, it’s possible to unlock your child’s remarkable potential. Listen in as Dr. Goh shares some of the technology and research that has changed how we diagnose, treat, and understand autism today. / / / Are you ready to take the next step on your brain optimization journey? / / / Choose your own adventure.

Can stress and trauma cause autoimmune diseases? Everyone experiences stress. In fact, you actually need stress. Without it, you can’t be productive, motivated, or live life fully. But too much stress can have devastating effects on your entire body. Many symptoms like fatigue, pain, unexpected weight gain, brain fog, and more are often misdiagnosed or dismissed when the culprit might actually be your own immune system. This is such an important topic which is why I’m thrilled to welcome Dr. Sara Gottfried to the show today.

But if you have on-going levels of stress due to unresolved trauma, you might be at risk for up to forty-five different chronic diseases. Over 24 million Americans struggle with autoimmune symptoms and up to 80% of these illnesses stem from trauma. Listen in as Dr. Gottfried reveals the surprising signs of how your body might be attacking itself and what you can do about it.

What are the cognitive benefits of being multilingual? Language surrounds you nearly every waking moment of your life. From your first words to your last, language helps you communicate your thoughts and feelings, allowing you to connect with others. And for many people, this rich linguistic environment involves not just one language, but two or more. Today, I’m going to explore the profound cognitive benefits of language. Specifically, how knowing more than one language can have a big impact on key brain functions like concentration, memory, task-switching, and creativity. It can even help slow cognitive decline. Beyond the brain benefits, research shows that the majority of the world’s population is multilingual. That means the more languages you can speak, the deeper the connections you can forge with those around you. If you’re looking for practical tips, techniques, and resources to help you pick up new languages faster and more effectively, this episode is for you.

Is the air you breathe affecting your brain? If you’re familiar with the ten keys to a healthy brain, you know that one of the keys is clean environment. Part of that environment is the quality of the air you breathe. You can go weeks without eating, days without water, but you can only go minutes without breathing.

Why do you remember some things and forget others? When it comes to memory, your brain is programmed to forget. That’s why it’s not only important to train your memory, but understand the complex mechanism of how your brain actually records and retrieves the past. Your memories make you who you are and because of the way your brain transforms memories, you can use them to understand the present and imagine the future. I’m excited to go on a deep dive into this topic with our guest today, Dr. Charan Ranganath. Dr. Ranganath is a Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, and Director of the Dynamic Memory Lab at UC Davis. For over 25 years, he’s studied the mechanisms in the brain that allows you to remember past events. He’s here to talk about his brand-new book, Why We Remember: Unlocking Memory’s Power to Hold on to What Matters. There is extraordinary overlap in the brain between the systems that operate your memory and your imagination. You can use this overlap to make better choices that can lead to better memories, and that in turn, can open new opportunities in your life. Listen in as Dr. Ranganath goes into how the brain records and retrieves the past, and what you can do to make your memory stronger.

How does sound impact your body and brain? If you’re like most people, when you think of calming sounds, you think of music. The link between music and the powerful effect it has on your body, mind, and soul has been recognized since the dawn of time. But it isn’t the only thing you hear on a daily basis. And those sounds can have a powerful impact on not only how you feel, but how you perform. I’m excited to go on a deep dive into this topic with you today. There have been numerous studies expanding what we know about sound and the brain—some that might surprise you. Taking control of what is in your auditory environment can shape your cognitive performance and emotional well-being. It can calm your autonomic nervous system, improve your ability to focus and concentrate, and even change your brain wave patterns.

Can the games and activities you played as a child strengthen your brain as an adult? When you were a child, playing with toys like Legos and puzzles, or even solving word games probably filled you joy and curiosity.

How does dopamine shape your desires—both positively and negatively? Dopamine is one of many neurotransmitters produced in your brain and is most commonly associated with pleasure. But there’s actually more to it than that. It’s the basis of motivation, incentivizing you to do things because you want something. And while that can lead to success and discoveries, it can also result in addictions of all shapes and sizes. I’m excited to talk to our guest today, Dr. Daniel Lieberman, MD. Dr. Lieberman is a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at George Washington University. He’s also the co-author of the international bestseller, The Molecule of More: How a Single Chemical in Your Brain Drives Love, Sex, and Creativity — and Will Determine the Fate of the Human Race. The nature of dopamine is to push for more. But that actually shifts your focus from the present moment into the future where you only see what you don’t have. That can lead to feeling chronically dissatisfied and unable to enjoy the things you’ve worked hard for. Listen in as Dr. Lieberman shows you how you can leverage this powerful chemical to go after the good and let go of the bad.
