Kwik Brain with Jim Kwik

What are the four elements in my morning and night routine that can help you become limitless? Welcome to the 300th episode of the Kwik Brain podcast. Whether you’ve been with us for a few months or several years, every episode has been and will continue to be dedicated to helping you realize your greatest potential. I’m honored to be your Brain Coach and to be with you on this journey into self-discovery. I believe there’s a version of yourself that you haven’t met yet. And while that person is patiently waiting to be introduced, my goal is to help you gain insight, find inspiration, and offer practical instruction until you meet. I believe if you can win the morning, you can win the day. And often your morning begins the night before. Listen in, as I share four elements of both my morning and evening routines that can help you unlock your truly limitless potential. ***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 role does your microbiome take in shaping your moods, memory, and even your dreams? You already know that what you eat matters, especially for your brain matter. The mind-gut connection is so strong, I’ve often referred to it as your second brain. But this interconnectedness extends throughout your entire body and can directly impact your immune system. To have this very important conversation, I’m excited to have Dr. Jeffrey Bland on our show today. Dr. Bland is the founder of Big Bold Health—a company on a mission to transform how people think about the human immune system. He’s also the author of The Disease Delusion: Conquering the Causes of Chronic Illness for a Healthier, Longer, and Happier Life. Your body creates 80,000 new immune cells every second. By improving your microbiome, these new cells can cleanse damaged immune cells associated with inflammation leading to improved health, brain function, and sleep. Listen in, as Dr. Bland give you practical tips on how you can make small changes to improve your microbiome for a healthier body and mind. ***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 do you unlimit your fear? Fear is hardwired into your brain, and it isn’t always a bad thing. It’s meant to keep you safe, but in our modern world, stress is often misidentified in the brain as fear. This can trigger your fight, flight, or freeze response, and that can hurt your productivity, hinder your performance, and take away your peace of mind. In today’s episode, I want to talk about fear through the lens of the Limitless model. Using Mindset, Motivation, and Methods as a framework can not only help you achieve your goals, but it can help you identify what’s holding you back. No one is immune to feeling scared, and it doesn’t matter whether you’re afraid of heights or public speaking—both are very real in that moment. Fear can limit what you do, but like all limited beliefs, it’s learned. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or uncertain and aren’t sure how to face the fear holding you back, 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. I know it sounds too good to be true, but I give you step-by-step guides using the accelerated learning model to help you get more done and achieve your goals.

What is your ‘wouldn’t go back moment’, and how do you reach it? Change is not optional. It happens whether you want it to or not. But the good news is your brain is meant to change, which means your life is meant to change. Without realizing it, you’ve likely had a moment after difficulty where you realized that what you experienced gave you a new skill, perspective, or mentality that you wouldn’t give up. To have this transformative conversation with you, I’m thrilled to have Jason Feifer on our show today. He’s the editor in chief of Entrepreneur Magazine and author of the brand-new book, Build for Tomorrow: An Action Plan for Embracing Change, Adapting Fast, and Future-Proofing Your Career. Change can be difficult. Even though some people might seem to adapt more easily than others, the four phases of change are the same for everyone. And they always end with a ‘wouldn’t go back moment.’ Listen in, as Jason talks about why belief in this moment drives success and can help you identify opportunities for your future. ***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 do you use light to enhance your memory? As the world becomes increasingly digital, you’re likely spending more time indoors with artificial light. Blue light from screens can interrupt your sleep, focus, and concentration. But can some types of light actually make you stronger or smarter? To go in-depth on this topic, I’m thrilled to welcome Dr. Shelley James on our show today. She’s an international expert on light and well-being, as well as a trained glass artist and electrician. Her TEDx talk, How Can Space Station Lighting Help Us Here on Earth?, was one of the top three most-watched talks the month it was released. In the same way that sunlight directly affects your biochemistry, artificial light can influence how your body and your brain perform. By understanding how to use light effectively, you can harness some incredibly powerful health benefits. Listen in, as Dr. James talks about how she used light to heal from a traumatic brain injury and how you can use it for greater wellness and mental acuity. *** Do you want to stay up to date with every new episode and get my brand new Kwik Brain Accelerator Program?

What is the key to lasting motivation? Motivation is a topic that comes up a lot in our community. You want to eat right, read more, exercise daily, and meditate regularly. But talking about making a change is often easier than achieving long-term follow-through. I’m excited to have Dr. Michelle Segar on our show today to talk more about this topic. She’s an award-winning motivation scientist and researcher at the University of Michigan. She’s the author of No Sweat: How the Simple Science of Motivation Can Bring You a Lifetime of Fitness and she’s here to talk about her new book, Joy Choice: How to Finally Achieve Lasting Changes in Eating and Exercise. There’s a difference between reaching a goal and sustaining that behavior over time, and many of the paradigms and beliefs you might hold around habits are likely outdated or oversimplified. Listen in, as Dr. Segar dispels the many myths around habits and talks about her model for creating lasting change and sustained motivation. *** Do you want to stay up to date with every new episode and get my brand new Kwik Brain Accelerator Program?

Questions are the answer. If you’ve been in our community for a while, you’ve probably heard me say that. Once you start asking more questions, you start finding more answers. And even listening to what others are asking can prompt you down your own path of self-discovery. In today’s episode, I’m going to do a rapid-fire Q&A. Every month, our team goes through questions from our Kwik Brain community and we’ve compiled a list of topics all of you have asked about the most. Knowledge alone isn’t power—it’s the potential for power. First, you need to take action. And often, the key to unlocking action is by asking questions. Listen in, as Jim speed reads through your burning questions and answers as many as possible. *** Do you want to stay up to date with every new episode and get my brand new Kwik Brain Accelerator Program?

How do you memorize jokes? Tell me if this sounds familiar. You hear a fantastic joke, but when the time comes to repeat it, your mind goes blank. This doesn’t seem to happen with song lyrics or movie quotes, so why do jokes feel like they disappear moments after you hear them? I work with stand-up comedians to help them memorize their sets by teaching them the methods we teach in our online memory course, and today, I’m going to give you four Kwik Tips to help you remember jokes. When it comes to telling a good joke, it’s frustrating to miss the punchline or forget a detail that makes the whole thing falls flat. Listen in, as I go over the 4 C’s to ensure you recall every laugh-out-loud joke with ease. *** Do you want to stay up to date with every new episode and get my brand new Kwik Brain Accelerator Program?

One of the things our community talks about the most, is how to apply our methods in a wide variety of applications. Every day, the Kwik Brain team reads joy stories from students, clients, readers, and listeners telling us about the tactics and strategies that work best both personally and professionally.
