Rewire Your Brain using Flow States with Neuroscientist Dr. Lana Morrow
If light and sound rewire the brain, could targeted frequencies also help reverse trauma, concussion, and even Parkinson’s‑like symptoms?<br /><br />What if shamanic traditions, Native American lore, Vedic meditation, and modern brain science all point to the same solution?<br /><br />My guest today is Dr. Lana Bach-Morrow — a pioneering neuroscientist, inventor, CEO, and spiritual explorer who works with frequencies, light, and consciousness to heal the body, brain and spirit. <br /><br />After being knocked out and injured in a hit-and-run last year with serious post-concussion syndrome, I've completed several transformative sessions with Dr. Lana's brain-computer interface to hel...
How to Create High-Performing, High-Trust Teams with Dr. Colin Fisher
Have you ever sat in a pointless meeting wondering, "what am I even doing here?'<br /><br />Imagine if meeting up with fellow humans felt less like a slow-motion train wreck… and more like a great jam session—where everyone’s locked in, connected, and creating something truly inspirational none of you could have created alone.<br /><br />Some call this concept the mastermind, when your group becomes more than the sum of its parts, creating something altogether much more expansive and, at its best, transcendent. <br /><br />On today’s show, we’re here with Dr. Colin Fisher, professor...
Why Trying to Calm Down is Stressing You Out with Dr. Rebecca Heiss
Feeling a little stressed lately? <br /><br />You're certainly not alone. <br /><br />Counterintuitively, instead of beating yourself up for not being able to calm down and eliminate stress altogether, consciously taking on more stress can actually make you perform better. <br /><br />It's strange but true: "When you need something done, give it to a busy person." <br /><br />Stress doesn't need to paralyze you or bowl you over, it's a natural energy that can be directed and used to your advantage. The problem is that our ancient brains can't keep up with modern threats. <br /><br />As our g...

Drop Emotional Baggage and Smash Through Mental Blocks with Dr. Bradley Nelson
Did you know that your heart has a brain?<br /><br />In fact, there are more connections running from the heart to the brain than from the brain to the heart! (Think about that for a second.)<br /><br />We've all heard the expression "dying of a broken heart." It may sound hard to believe, but the phenomenon is quite real. <br /><br />Unresolved emotions like grief, anger, or fear can quietly build pressure in the body and contribute to issues like high blood pressure, heart rhythm problems, and worse. <br /><br />The hidden strain of emotional pains of the...

Henry Abbott: Why Star Athletes Are Getting Injured More Than Ever
A modern mystery haunts professional sports: Why are today's star athletes—who are bigger, faster, and stronger than ever—getting injured at such catastrophic rates?<br /><br />The glory days when all-stars like Cal Ripkin Jr. played 2,632 consecutive games seem far behind us.<br /><br />These days, promising careers are tragically cut short by horrific injuries televised to the masses. Some managers even see pro athletes as expendable, as surgeons circle broken bodies like buzzards. <br /><br />The strange truth is this: sometimes getting stronger actually makes us worse at sports. <br /><br />Athleticism is much more than just an arms...
