Is it possible to feel better in just five minutes? Does this sound familiar: I want to be healthy, but I just don’t have time. You wouldn’t be too busy to brush your teeth. So, why is your mental and physical health any different? There’s no reason to make healthy habits complicated when all you need is five minutes. I’m excited to have Dr. Rangan Chatterjee on the show today to dive deep into this topic. Dr. Chatterjee is a practicing physician and star of the popular BBC One series, Doctor in the House. He’s written five bestselling books, including Happy Mind, Happy Life: 10 Simple Ways to Feel Great Every Day and Feel Better in Five: Your Daily Plan to Feel Great for Life. When it comes to changing habits, it’s the smallest steps that make the biggest difference. But most people set big goals only to lose motivation quickly. Listen in as Dr. Chatterjee breaks down how to make significant impact in your mental, physical, and brain health in just five minutes a day. Link to Show Notes Link to Kwik Brain C.O.D.E.

How can you remember your dreams to unleash your creative problem-solving? You dream anywhere between four to seven times every night. At an average of two hours, that’s six years of your life spent dreaming. But do you remember your dreams? Most people don’t. And they can be an incredibly powerful tool to solve problems, overcome obstacles, and come up with new ideas. On today’s episode, I’m going to go over six tips to help you remember your dreams. Like all memory training, remembering your dreams is a skill. And I’m excited to help you unlock your full dream potential. Mary Shelley came up with Frankenstein in a dream. Paul McCartney dreamed about the song Yesterday before he wrote it. Even scientific breakthroughs like the Theory of Relativity and the periodic table happened because of dreams. You’re already dreaming every night. Listen in as I give you the tools to use the power of your dreams to help you achieve your goals. Link to Show Notes Link to Kwik Brain C.O.D.E.

And I want to give you the tools to help you repair whatever feels damaged in your life. Kintsugi fixes damaged pottery with gold, making the imperfections beautiful.

How do you find a state of calm on a stressful, chaotic day? Peace and quiet are rare commodities in a busy world filled with stress, conflict, and distraction. If you don’t take the time to reset your body and mind, this can quickly lead to a state of overwhelm and burnout. But how do hit pause to reinstall a sense of calm, harmony, and balance? On today’s episode, I’m excited to bring you some powerful meditation techniques that not only help you relax and recover in just a few minutes, but can change your brain, and eventually, your life. Along with nuggets of wisdom from previous episodes with meditation experts, I’m going to give you actionable steps for making meditation a daily practice.

How do you create change that lasts? The average person has around 60,000 thoughts every day. The problem is up to 95% of those thoughts are the same ones you’ve already had. If you want different results, you need a new behavior. And to get a new behavior, you have start by developing new capacities, capabilities, and beliefs. This topic is one I get questioned about a lot in our Kwik Brain Universe, and I’m excited to break down the core components that go into generating change that lasts a lifetime. Change is hard. And it can be difficult to get out of your own way. But you can take the first step by shifting your perspective, your surroundings, and the things you’re exposed to. If you want to stop relying on hoping you can change and cultivate the confidence that you will change, this episode is for you. Link to Show Notes Link to Kwik Brain C.O.D.E.

How does real life connection influence your brain health and longevity? The rise of algorithms has had a significant impact on our overall brain health and mental well-being. They work to direct your attention online and can disrupt how you interact with people, eventually interfering with how you learn, communicate, and engage with others. This makes it difficult to maintain a healthy balance between being online and fostering in-person connections. To go further on this topic, I’m excited to have Colleen and Jason Wachob on our show today. They are the founders and co-CEO’s of Mind Body Green, an independent media brand dedicated to your well-being. They’re also the authors of the brand-new book, The Joy of Well-Being: A Practical Guide to a Happy, Healthy, and Long Life. Technology can make your life easier in many ways. But it can also have a downside. The more it advances, the more tempting it can be to rely on algorithms to think for you. If you’re looking for a way to sort through the polarizing noise online and find information on nutrition and wellness to share with the people you love, this episode is for you.
