Yale Professor On Building Emotional Intelligence I Marc Brackett, PhD

EPISODE 128: As a society, we are nowhere near as emotionally intelligent as we should be. This is apparent from the way we treat each other and ourselves…We simply don’t recognize our emotional intelligence as something that can be trained and built over time. But luckily, times are changing, and our emotional well-being is becoming increasingly important. So much so that it has even found its place in schools, where children today are building their emotional intelligence using the RULER approach.Here with me today to discuss this groundbreaking approach is none other than Marc Brackett, the founding director of the Yale Centre for Emotional Intelligence and a professor in the Child Study Center at Yale University. He is one of the academics who developed this approach, which is now being taught in over 5000 schools worldwide.He has dedicated over 25 years to studying the critical role of emotions and emotional intelligence in various aspects of life, authored the best-selling book Permission to Feel, and co-created the award-winning app How We Feel to promote emotional skills and general well-being. Join us as we dive deep into the world of emotional intelligence and share some amazing tools for recognizing and managing emotions. Tune in! Key Takeaways:Intro (00:00)Emotional intelligence and the RULER approach (01:40)Tools for self-awareness (08:10)Marc’s reflection process (14:46)How does EQ impact various aspects of life (21:29)Challenges people face in developing and applying EQ (26:29)How to implement these tools and knowledge (33:53)How can leaders implement and utilize these tools and knowledge (35:39)The future of EQ (43:07)On longevity (45:01)Outro (46:48)Additional Resources:➡️ Take the first step to a longer and healthier life: http://LLInsider.com/ ➡️ Coaching with Claudia: https://longevity-and-lifestyle.com/coaching ➡️ Full list of resources, links, and show notes: https://longevity-and-lifestyle.com/podcast-128-marc-brackett Connect with Marc Brackett:✨ Website: https://www.marcbrackett.com/✨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marc.brackett/?hl=en✨ Twitter: https://twitter.com/marcbrackett/✨ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marc-brackett-10a563Follow Claudia on social media: ✨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/claudiavonB ✨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/longevityandlifestyle/ ✨ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/claudia-von-boeselager/ ✨ Twitter: https://twitter.com/longevitylifest ✨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@longevityandlifestyle  Follow The Longevity & Lifestyle Podcast:✨ Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3ogQDBd ✨ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/77XDkcNfzZCasJXL672h01  The Longevity & Lifestyle Podcast is dedicated to everyone who wants to increase their lifespan, improve their quality of life and unlock peak performance. Don’t forget to follow so you never miss an episode!

Cellular Senescence and the Anti-Aging Powers of Senolytics | Dr. Nick Bitz

EPISODE 122: Healthy cells equal a healthy body! Our body has around 37 trillion cells, making up every tissue, organ, and part of us.  However, like every living thing, cells age and eventually reach a state where they can no longer function normally. But they don’t die. They enter a state called cellular senescence. While we are young, healthy, and vital, our immune system does a great job targeting these senescent cells, so they aren’t an issue. But as we age and our immune system weakens, we start accumulating them, and they start affecting our bodily functions.  So, can we do anything to prevent aging at the cellular level and, consequently, aging in general? Yes, there is! And today’s guest, Dr. Nick Bitz, knows all about it. He is a naturopathic doctor specializing in Ayurveda, anti-aging, dietary supplements, and cellular senescence. In my interview with Dr. Nick, we talk about the anti-aging powers of senolytics, dietary and lifestyle recommendations that target aging cells, and the connection between brain aging and senescent cells.  This insightful conversation has many great tips and information, so tune in!    Key Takeaways:   Intro (00:00) Cellular senescence (01:41) What are senolytics, and how do they target senescent cells? (08:22) Brain aging (11:13) Anabolic resistance and cellular senescence (14:00) Testing the effects of senolytics on humans and Dr. Nick’s personal experiences (20:39) Protocols and different use cases of senolytics (23:26) Diet and lifestyle changes to prevent cellular aging (29:22) Senolytics and cancer (35:18) How Dr. Nick became an Ayurvedic doctor (37:30) On longevity and the future of health (48:53) Final thoughts and outro (55:07)   Additional Resources:   ➡️ Take the first step to a longer and healthier life: http://LLInsider.com/  ➡️ Coaching with Claudia: https://longevity-and-lifestyle.com/coaching  ➡️ Full list of resources, links, and show notes: https://longevity-and-lifestyle.com/podcast-122-dr-nick-bitz  ➡️ Special Offer for you dear audience: Get 15% off Qualia products at https://neurohacker.com/longevityandlifestyle - just use the code: longevityandlifestyle   Connect with Dr. Nick Bitz: ✨ Neurohacker Collective: https://neurohacker.com/  ✨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/neurohacker/  ✨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/neurohackercollective  ✨ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/neurohacker   Follow Claudia on social media:  ✨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/claudiavonB  ✨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/longevityandlifestyle/  ✨ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/claudia-von-boeselager/  ✨ Twitter: https://twitter.com/longevitylifest  ✨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@longevityandlifestyle    Follow The Longevity & Lifestyle Podcast: ✨ Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3ogQDBd  ✨ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/77XDkcNfzZCasJXL672h01    The Longevity & Lifestyle Podcast is dedicated to everyone who wants to increase their lifespan, improve their quality of life and unlock peak performance.   Don’t forget to follow so you never miss an episode!
