How do you stay younger longer? If you’re like most people, you probably think of aging as a gradual physical and mental decline. It can be a scary prospect if you think it involves things like increased illness, chronic disease, and less independence. But that’s not how aging has to be. I’m so excited to have Dr. Mark Hyman back on our show today. Dr. Hyman a practicing family physician, international speaker, educator, and fourteen-time New York Times bestselling author. He’s here to talk about his newest book, Young Forever: The Secrets to Living Your Longest, Healthiest Life. The more we learn about the science of longevity, the more aging gets redefined. It’s possible to reverse the processes that are driving the chronic diseases of aging so that you can stay younger longer. If you want to stay as vibrant and functional for as long as possible, this episode is for you. ***If you’re inspired, I want to invite you to join me in my brand NEW 10-day course, specifically designed to boost your productivity.

How can you transform passive learning into active learning? Learning is not a spectator sport. I’ve been saying that for over twenty years because the human brain simply isn’t designed to effectively learn through information consumption alone. You learn better—and faster—when you create and co-create material in a method known as active learning. In today’s episode, I’m going to share six tactical steps that can help you transform your learning from passive to active. With these six keys, you’ll learn more in less time, allowing you to achieve results you never thought possible. Knowledge by itself isn’t power. It only becomes power when you apply and implement it—when you take action. You develop deeper understanding, helping you to connect new information with what you already know. If you’ve been struggling to take your learning to a whole new level, this episode is for you. ***If you’re inspired, I want to invite you to join me in my brand NEW 10-day course, specifically designed to boost your productivity.

What’s the connection between love and the brain? You might ask, what does love have to do with the brain? After all, love is often associated with the heart. But when it comes to brain health, life fulfilment, and overall performance, it isn’t only your neurological networks that matter, it’s also your social network. And the most important social network you have are the people you love. I’m so excited to have Jay Shetty back on the show today to talk more about this topic. Jay is a New York Times bestselling author, host of the award-winning On Purpose podcast, and Chief Purpose Officer of Calm. He’s here to talk about his new book, 8 Rules of Love: How to Find It, Keep It, and Let It Go. We often characterize love as something you fall into. But like anything, you have to learn how to develop love in order to nurture and sustain that connection with another person. If you’ve struggled with finding a deep, meaningful connection, or you want to learn how to grow even closer to someone, this episode is for you.

How do you focus a distracted mind? Attention and focus come up a lot in the Kwik Brain community. In the world of dings and pings, staying on task can become increasingly difficult, especially when your to-do list is a mile long. But attention exists to help you not only survive, but to thrive—if it’s trained. To go in-depth on this topic, I’m thrilled to have Dr. Adam Gazzaley, M.D., Ph.D. on our show today. Dr. Gazzaley is the David Dolby Distinguished Professor of Neurology, Physiology, and Psychiatry at UCSF. He’s the founder of Neuroscape, host of a national PBS show, and the co-author of The Distracted Mind: Ancient Brains in a High-Tech World. It’s impossible to put all of your focus everywhere at the same time. That’s simply not how the brain works. But being able to ignore certain stimuli isn’t a process that comes naturally. You have to learn how to direct where your attention goes. If you’ve been struggling with how to concentrate, focus, and minimize distractions in your daily life, this episode is for you. ***If you’re inspired, I want to invite you to join me in my brand NEW 10-day course, specifically designed to boost your productivity.

What are four choices you can make daily to change your brain, your body, and even your bank account?
