Groundbreaking Approach to Alzheimer's Treatment & Prevention with Dr. David Perlmutter

What is the best approach for treating and preventing Alzheimer’s Disease? After my traumatic brain injury, my grandmother became my primary caregiver because my parents had to work multiple jobs. From a young age, I watched her struggle with Alzheimer’s, and I saw firsthand how devastating this disease is. It’s why I’m so passionate about brain health and work with leading experts in their mission to understand, treat, and prevent Alzheimer’s and other brain diseases. To talk more about this very important topic, I’m delighted to have Dr. David Perlmutter back on our show today. Dr. Perlmutter is an MD board-certified neurologist and five-time New York Times best-selling author, including his latest, Drop Acid: The Surprising New Science of Uric Acid—The Key to Losing Weight, Controlling Blood Sugar, and Achieving Extraordinary Health.

But instead of feeling helpless, I want you to feel empowered to make small changes that can have a long-term impact on your brain and body health. Listen in, as Dr. Perlmutter talks about understanding the role uric acid and inflammation plays in your body and how that impacts the progression of diseases like Alzheimer’s. *** Do you want to stay up to date with every new episode and get my brand new Kwik Brain Accelerator Program?

Jim Kwik's Morning Routine for Optimal Day

How do you begin your day to jumpstart your brain for greater productivity and peace of mind?   One of the most consistent questions I get from our community is how I start my day. I believe that if you can win the morning, you can win the day. And it all starts by establishing a set of routines and habits that create positive momentum to move you forward. In today’s episode, I’m going to walk you through some of the habits I’ve created that make up my ideal morning. Notice how I said ideal. My goal is to do as many things as possible, but keep in mind that every morning is different. The important thing is to start the day with self-love and self-care, so remember to be kind to yourself as you work towards change. Creating a morning routine takes advantage of the science of momentum, which helps you avoid decision fatigue. Instead of having to make constant choices, you let your routine generate energy to carry you through your day. If you want to learn how to begin each morning with clarity, vision, and direction, this episode is for you. *** Do you want to stay up to date with every new episode and get my brand new Kwik Brain Accelerator Program?

Discover Your Focus in 12 Minutes with Dr. Amishi Jha

How do you train your attention and stop your mind from wandering in only twelve minutes a day? Maintaining your attention and focus in a world filled with distractions can be very difficult. The constant disruption of notifications can start to feel like you don’t have ownership over your own mind. But solutions like avoiding technology for periods of time rely on external intervention rather than giving you control over your ability to concentrate. To go in-depth on this topic, I’m thrilled to have Dr. Amishi Jha on the show today. Dr. Jha is a neuroscientist and professor of psychology at the University of Miami. She’s also the author of the bestselling book, Peak Mind: Find Your Focus, Own Your Attention, Invest 12 Minutes a Day. Packed with over fifteen years of research, her book gives you practical steps on how to use mindfulness training to regain your ability to be present in any situation—in only twelve minutes a day. Technology is a necessity in the modern world. Instead of removing access to digital devices, you can train your attention to be distraction-proof. Listen in, as Dr. Jha gives you actionable steps to start training your focus, notice where your attention is at any given time, and learn how to redirect to get back on track. *** Do you want to stay up to date with every new episode and get my brand new Kwik Brain Accelerator Program?

Don’t Let Your Goals Hold You Back with Emmanuel Acho

Is setting goals the best way to unlock your true potential? We talk a lot about the importance of goal setting and how to set smart goals. But sometimes fear of failure can create unintentional limits within your goals, and that can actually end up holding you back. What if there was a better way to look at your goals so that you don’t just reach them, but achieve so much more? I’m thrilled to have Emmanuel Acho on our show today to talk more in-depth about this topic. Emmanuel is a former NFL player who earned his Master’s Degree in Sports Psychology during his off-seasons. He’s an Emmy Award-Winning Fox Sports Analyst, host of an acclaimed video series, and author of the New York Times instant bestseller, Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man. Emmanuel’s newest book, Illogical: Saying Yes to a Life Without Limits, breaks down how to defy logic so that you can dream bigger and break through your limitations. Fear of failure often fills the space between where you currently are and where you want to be. To overcome that fear, you have to redirect your perspective of failure by letting go of logic so you can keep pushing yourself beyond what conventional wisdom says is possible. If you live in a world where you compare yourself to a standard, this episode is for you. *** Do you want to stay up to date with every new episode and get my brand new Kwik Brain Accelerator Program?

The Power of Your Focus to Create Maximum Results with Jim Kwik

How do you work smarter and not harder? If you’re like the rest of us, you want to become more efficient by working smarter—not just harder. You already know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed with long to-do lists, stressful demands, and the pressure of not having enough time. This burden can feel even heavier when all of these tasks feel high-priority and can’t be ignored. Today, I want to talk about how to focus on the things that matter the most so that you can exert the same amount of effort but yield the highest possible rewards. When you’re weighed down with an endless list of tasks, it can feel like you’re being held back and aren’t able to pursue the things you really want to do. Even worse, it can lead to burnout. So if you’re struggling to identify how to apply your efforts to produce maximum results, this episode is for you. *** Do you want to stay up to date with every new episode and get my brand new Kwik Brain Accelerator Program?

Transforming Stressful Life Events into Motivation with Dr. Don Wood

How do you go from stressed to motivated? When you’re under pressure, you may not look beyond today’s circumstances for what’s causing your stress. But the truth is, how you react to challenging situations now is directly tied to events you’ve already faced. The key to overcoming that stress is figuring out how your present feelings are being influenced by your past. I’m thrilled to have Dr. Don Wood on the show today. Dr. Wood is a clinical psychologist and founder of the Inspired Performance Institute. After years of research, he created the TIPP method as a holistic approach to heal the effects of trauma on the body and mind, and is the author of You Must Be Out of Your Mind: We All Need A Reboot and Emotional Concussions: Understanding How Our Nervous System is Affected By Events and Experiences. We all have stress on a day-to-day basis, but how well you handle today’s stress depends on how you managed your earlier stress. Fear and stress are signposts your mind has created based on these past experiences and how you coped then will influence your stress levels in the current situation. Listen in as Dr. Wood shares insights into recognizing these patterns and gives you actionable steps so you can transform the stress in your life into motivation. *** Do you want to stay up to date with every new episode and get my brand new Kwik Brain Accelerator Program?
