How do you have better focus? How do you improve your memory? How do you improve your thinking ability? What are the best foods for your brain?

What you eat matters, especially for your gray matter. And who better to have this discussion with than Dr. Lisa Mosconi? She’s the author of an incredible book called, Brain Food, a must-read for anyone interested in having a healthy and powerful brain. Her research is well known regarding the early detection of Alzheimer’s disease in at-risk individuals using brain imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). She is passionately interested in how the risk of memory loss and Alzheimer’s disease can be mitigated, if not prevented through the combination of appropriate medical care and lifestyle modifications involving diet, nutrition, physical and intellectual fitness.

In this episode, we’re taking you to the kitchen and share with you foods you can eat right now to boost your brain health and the foods you should avoid.

What are the invisible super-villains that are wreaking havoc on your brain?

This topic is near and dear to my heart. Through this podcast series, I love sharing with you the things we can do to level up our brains, and while it’s important to talk about what to do, it’s also important to cover the obstacles, the invisible forces that are taking you away and holding you back.

To discuss this topic, we have Ben Greenfield, NYT Bestselling Author of Beyond Training: Mastering Endurance, Health, and Life. Ben is a professional obstacle course racer, completing the coveted Spartan Delta, training with the Navy SEALs, competing across the globe in open water swims, mountain runs, and adventure races, and winning multiple USA bowhunting competitions.

In this episode, we talk about 4 invisible super-villains and what you can do to protect yourself from them.

How do you conquer your mind for greater happiness, strength, and health?

We have a very special guest today, Wim Hof. Wim got his nickname “The Iceman” after he broke many records with regards to resisting cold. Some of his feats include climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in shorts, running a half marathon above the Arctic Circle on his bare feet, and standing in a container while covered with ice cubes for more than 112 minutes.

Wim is convinced that our bodies are capable of doing the same exceptional things his body allows him to do. He developed his Wim Hof Method to give ordinary people the tools to take control over their body.

In this episode, we will go over how to activate parts of your brain using the Wim Hof Method to enable parts of your mind to accomplish greater feats.

How do we release happy brain chemicals and not feel loneliness?

More studies indicate that loneliness leads to Alzheimers, dementia, and other mental challenges. Even though we’re more connected than ever before via social media, the level of loneliness people feel have been rising.

To dive deeper into this topic, I have my good friend, Radha Agrawal, in the studio today. Radha is a community force, successful entrepreneur (Co-Founder THINX, LiveItUp), author, globe-trotting speaker, DJ, inventor, and investor. Her new book, Belong: Find Your People, Create Community, and Live a More Connected Life, answers the questions, ‘How the heck do I find my people?’ and ‘How do I create large and meaningful communities in the real world?’.

Radha spent 18 months synthesizing her key methods for community building, peeling back the curtain on exactly what she and her team did (and continues to do) at Daybreaker so that anyone interested in creating their community can have a blueprint for how to do it.
