The Path to Brain Health and Freedom | Episode 1

In this episode, the host, Michael Waite, discusses his motivations for starting the podcast - namely, his brother living in the wild, his mother dying, as well as the positivity experienced when consuming real, natural things. He argues that you can learn how to control your own brain state (focus, energy, creativity, etc.) by changing what you put into your mind and body. 

We need to retake ownership over our own brain, rather than passively letting outside forces control it for their own benefit, harming us along the way. If you want to improve your mood or any area of your life, you're going to have to become more knowledgeable and conscious of how what you consume affects your brain.  Take care of your brain, by getting closer to nature and providing it with the right resources, and thereby reinvigorate your freedom and true potential. 

Two of the basic premises of this podcast are: (1) everything in this world is interconnected; everything, including humans, is one with nature. So, we must live in sync with it, loving it and letting it love us back; and (2) Everything in the human experience goes back to brain health. 

Yet there is a paradox - we must connect with nature yet also with society. For proper brain health, we need the right elements from both.

There is a direct causal connection between what you put into your body and how you think, feel, and act. You are the information that you intake. In this show, we will dig into how everything affects our brain. In a nutshell, if we want to increase our brain health, we need to get back to what is natural. If you want to destroy your brain and turn down your uniquely human qualities, getting more into raw animal mode, just do the opposite. 

Some episodes will be solo episodes, Michael analyzing and philosophizing about the research. On other episodes, we will bring on guests to discuss specific topics with.
