How does sound impact your body and brain?

If you’re like most people, when you think of calming sounds, you think of music. The link between music and the powerful effect it has on your body, mind, and soul has been recognized since the dawn of time. But it isn’t the only thing you hear on a daily basis. And those sounds can have a powerful impact on not only how you feel, but how you perform.

I’m excited to go on a deep dive into this topic with you today. There have been numerous studies expanding what we know about sound and the brain—some that might surprise you. Taking control of what is in your auditory environment can shape your cognitive performance and emotional well-being. It can calm your autonomic nervous system, improve your ability to focus and concentrate, and even change your brain wave patterns. Listen in as I go over ways you can amplify how you learn by tuning in to different auditory experiences.

Can the games and activities you played as a child strengthen your brain as an adult?

When you were a child, playing with toys like Legos and puzzles, or even solving word games probably filled you joy and curiosity. They gave you a goal to work towards and provided hours of entertainment as you puzzled over them until you could see the final result. But these activities weren’t just fun, they were good for your neural development, too.

Today, I want to explore the brain-boosting benefits of play and how activities you enjoyed as a child can support cognitive performance across your lifespan. These classic pastimes aren’t just fun, they can actually exercise your brain.

Keeping your brain active and engaged as you age is crucial in maintaining cognitive health and mental performance. Mentally stimulating activities that you enjoy can help boost your memory, improve your reasoning, and sharpen your problem-solving capabilities. Listen in as I go over how you can use toys, games, and puzzles to keep your brain healthy and strong at any stage of life.

Is medication always the answer to mental illness?

Anyone who has ever suffered from a mental health condition knows how isolating it can be. You’re desperate to get better, but often the answer is medication and management instead of actual healing.

And what you eat, how you sleep, your lifestyle choices, all play a profound role. It’s possible to change your brain energy and metabolism through practical everyday steps. If you feel like you aren’t getting better, like your ideas and questions are being dismissed, this episode is for you.

How can you tap into your quantum body and quantum brain to live a healthier, longer life?

How does dopamine shape your desires—both positively and negatively?

Dopamine is one of many neurotransmitters produced in your brain and is most commonly associated with pleasure. But there’s actually more to it than that. It’s the basis of motivation, incentivizing you to do things because you want something. And while that can lead to success and discoveries, it can also result in addictions of all shapes and sizes.

I’m excited to talk to our guest today, Dr. Daniel Lieberman, MD. Dr. Lieberman is a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at George Washington University. He’s also the co-author of the international bestseller, The Molecule of More: How a Single Chemical in Your Brain Drives Love, Sex, and Creativity — and Will Determine the Fate of the Human Race.

The nature of dopamine is to push for more. But that actually shifts your focus from the present moment into the future where you only see what you don’t have. That can lead to feeling chronically dissatisfied and unable to enjoy the things you’ve worked hard for. Listen in as Dr. Lieberman shows you how you can leverage this powerful chemical to go after the good and let go of the bad.

Why is diet considered one of the most potent tools in protecting the brain against Alzheimer’s disease?

Even though we’ve made enormous strides in Alzheimer’s diagnosis and treatment over the years, your diet is still one of the major keys when it comes to prevention. And for good reason. When it comes to brain health, food isn’t just fuel, it becomes part of you. You literally are what you eat.

How does the science of behavioral change help you make significant and long-lasting transformations in your life?

Breaking habits and creating change is hard. Even succeeding at a smaller goal, like a New Year’s resolution, is difficult.

How does embracing mind-body unity open up new possibilities to manage and enhance your health?

One of the best ways to connect your body to your mind is through mindfulness. But what exactly does that mean? And how do you become more mindful?

How do you lose stubborn weight and build mental muscle?

Being fit is more than simply being in shape or losing weight. It’s one of the keys to having a limitless mind. Exercise stimulates neurotransmitters, like dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins, and can play a vital role in reducing systemic inflammation.

What impact does your blood sugar level have on your brain power?

Every cell in your body needs energy to run. And one of the main ways you provide this energy is through glucose. But while eating foods high in starch and sugar will give you a glucose spike, that doesn’t actually give your body or brain the energy it needs to be consistent.

I’m excited to have Jessie Inchauspé on our show today. Jessie is biochemist who shares her insights and knowledge of the effect glucose has on the body and brain. She’s here to talk about the strategies from her latest book, The Glucose Goddess Method: The 4-Week Guide to Cutting Cravings, Getting Your Energy Back, and Feeling Amazing.

Giving your body energy isn’t simply a matter of eating more glucose. In fact, eating too much can lead to a wide range of problems including inflammation, diabetes, and more. Listen in as Jessie shares four simple food principles you can introduce into your diet today to help balance your glucose, improve cognitive performance, and live a better life.

Can you improve your sleep to boost your brain power overnight?

Sleep is one of the most important elements of good brain health. Chronic sleep problems are a major factor in cognitive decline and increases your risk for degenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia. When you optimize the quality of your sleep, your brain functions at its peak. But where do you start?

I’m excited to have Jack Dell’Accio on the show today. Jack is the Founder and CEO of Essentia and has analyzed sleep for over twenty years. He’s a certified sleep coach with a focus on the impact of restorative sleep for recovery, disease prevention, and longevity. Jack has also worked with many of the world’s top athletes helping them with injury recovery and optimizing their performance—both on and off the field.

You can learn how to sleep like a pro. But like any pro-athlete, you have to start with the right equipment. A good mattress can increase your REM and deep sleep stages, which will significantly improve your mental and physical health. If you want to learn more about which mattress I use, why I chose it, and how you can learn to sleep like a pro no matter what mattress you have, this episode is for you.

Can floatation therapy improve not just your body, but your brain? 

Floatation therapy, or sensory deprivation, isn’t something we’ve talked about a lot on this show. But research indicates that it has some incredible benefits for your body and brain.

If you’ve been curious about how sensory deprivation works and want to know how it can take your performance to the next level, this episode is for you.

Do your social connections impact the food you eat?

What you eat matters, especially for your gray matter. It’s something you’ve heard me say a lot, but nutrition is about more than simply what you eat. It’s how you eat and who you’re eating those meals with. Every food choice, from a quick snack to an entire meal, has a huge impact on your overall health. And those decisions are influenced by the people you love.

I’m excited to welcome Shawn Stevenson back to our show. Shawn is the creator and host of the top health podcast in the U.S., The Model Health Show. He’s also the bestselling author of a brand-new cookbook, Eat Smarter Family Cookbook: 100 Delicious Recipes to Transform Your Health, Happiness, and Connection.

Everything you eat, even what food you crave, is deeply entrenched in your upbringing and your surroundings. Before you can change those habits long-term, you have to change the culture you have around food and eating. Listen in as Shawn talks about how to change the way eat so that you can transform not only your body and brain, but the health of your entire family.

What are the mental and physical benefits of cold therapy?

There’s one element of my morning routine that I get asked about a lot: taking a cold shower. Even though we’ve talked about cold therapy before, the idea of submersing yourself in cold water can be intimidating. But there are numerous benefits for both your body and mind that cold therapy can provide.

I’m excited to welcome leading international scientist and expert on cold therapy, Dr. Susanna Søberg, to our show today. Dr. Søberg is the Founder of the Søberg Institute and the Thermalist Cure.

If you want to understand the science behind cold therapy and learn some simple protocols for where to start, this episode is for you.

What are some healthy habits to incorporate into your evening routine to optimize your sleep? 

On average, you’ll spend roughly one-third of your life sleeping. It’s when your brain gets rid of toxic waste and plaque build-up, converts short-term to long-term memory, reorganizes and repairs nerve cells, and so much more. That’s why when it comes to optimizing your brain, one of the best things you can do is optimize your sleep.

Today, I want to share the elements I’ve developed over the years that make up my nighttime routine. These are the habits I’ve built to help me wind down for a good night’s rest. This isn’t meant to be a one-size-fits-all routine. Find the elements that make sense for you and start there.

Getting a good night’s sleep is vital for a healthy brain and a good memory. It ensures you can not only bounce back from a difficult day but bounce forward into the next morning. And establishing a consistent nighttime routine is key. If you’re looking for ways to help you fall asleep faster to get deeper, more restorative sleep, this episode is for you.

How does the brain change when you become a parent?

Even if you don’t have children, you likely know friends and family who are parents. A new baby brings a lot of change to your routine, sleep, and lifestyle. But the brain has the amazing ability to adapt in preparation for parenthood. And whether you’re a new parent or simply want to learn what friends and family are going through, understanding the neuroscience can help everyone provide better support for new moms and dads.

I’m excited to do a deep dive on this topic with our guest today. Dr. Sarah McKay is a neuroscientist, speaker, and founder of Think Brain and the Neuroscience Academy’s suite of training programs. She’s also the author of Baby Brain: The Surprising Neuroscience of How Pregnancy and Motherhood Sculpt Our Brains and Change Our Minds (For the Better).

Can one extra degree of effort make a difference when it comes to reaching your goals? 

The first step in goal-getting is mindset. You have to assess the attitudes and assumptions you have towards everything related to your goal. Before you can make significant progress, you have to first believe it’s possible. Then you have to work for it.

Today, I want to explore how to adjust your mindset by looking at the amount of effort you’re willing to put in. The difference between success and failure isn’t talent, education, or access. It’s the energy you exert every single day.

Effort is about progress not perfection. It’s about being able to advance and evolve beyond what you currently believe is possible. Listen in as I talk about how giving just one degree of extra effort in your daily routine can yield incredible results.

What is the connection between physical exercise and your mental well-being.

You’ve heard me say, as your body moves, your brain grooves. That’s because when you engage in physical activity, remarkable things happen inside your brain. Exercise doesn’t just impact your physical health. It has a direct and profound influence on your mental health and brain function.

On today’s episode, I’m going to go on a deep dive into the brain science of exercise. Your brain needs mental stimulation, but research shows that if you want to operate at peak performance levels, you also need consistent physical activity.

As a cognitive performance coach, I’m frequently asked about the secrets to improving brain power. And one of the most effective strategies I’ve discovered is incorporating regular exercise into your routine. Listen in as I reveal some of the incredible benefits exercise has on your body, brain, mood, and performance, and different ways you can make movement a regular part of your day.

Does this sound familiar: I want to be healthy, but I just don’t have time. You wouldn’t be too busy to brush your teeth. So, why is your mental and physical health any different? There’s no reason to make healthy habits complicated when all you need is five minutes.

How do you repair the broken pieces inside yourself to find fortune in failure? When you fail or make a mistake, it can feel like you’re broken. But everyone fails at some point.

Instead of seeing only your mistakes, I want you to embrace the philosophy of kintsugi.

Today, I’m going to talk about how you can apply this ancient Japanese art to fixing the cracked pieces inside yourself. Many of you know my journey of how a traumatic brain injury led to me being called “the boy with the broken brain”. I know what it’s like to feel broken. Limited. And I want to give you the tools to help you repair whatever feels damaged in your life.

Kintsugi fixes damaged pottery with gold, making the imperfections beautiful. Maybe you can’t fill the cracks in your life with gold or silver, but you can fill them with patience, knowledge, and resilience. If you want to learn how to not only repair the pieces that feel broken, but transform into a stronger, better version of yourself, this episode is for you.

How do you find a state of calm on a stressful, chaotic day?

How do you create change that lasts?

The average person has around 60,000 thoughts every day. The problem is up to 95% of those thoughts are the same ones you’ve already had. If you want different results, you need a new behavior. And to get a new behavior, you have start by developing new capacities, capabilities, and beliefs.

This topic is one I get questioned about a lot in our Kwik Brain Universe, and I’m excited to break down the core components that go into generating change that lasts a lifetime.

Change is hard. And it can be difficult to get out of your own way. But you can take the first step by shifting your perspective, your surroundings, and the things you’re exposed to. If you want to stop relying on hoping you can change and cultivate the confidence that you will change, this episode is for you.

How does real life connection influence your brain health and longevity?

The rise of algorithms has had a significant impact on our overall brain health and mental well-being. They work to direct your attention online and can disrupt how you interact with people, eventually interfering with how you learn, communicate, and engage with others. This makes it difficult to maintain a healthy balance between being online and fostering in-person connections.

To go further on this topic, I’m excited to have Colleen and Jason Wachob on our show today. They are the founders and co-CEO’s of Mind Body Green, an independent media brand dedicated to your well-being. They’re also the authors of the brand-new book, The Joy of Well-Being: A Practical Guide to a Happy, Healthy, and Long Life.

Technology can make your life easier in many ways. But it can also have a downside. The more it advances, the more tempting it can be to rely on algorithms to think for you. If you’re looking for a way to sort through the polarizing noise online and find information on nutrition and wellness to share with the people you love, this episode is for you.

How do you organize your day to get the most out of it?

Our community is made up of people all over the world. And while not everyone has the same education, income, or networking connections, the one thing we all have equally is time. Everyone has the same twenty-four hours in the day, but it’s up to you how to utilize them to your advantage.

On today’s episode, I want to share my very simple framework on how I chunk down my day for maximum results. This isn’t meant to be followed rigorously. Instead, my goal is to help you learn the principles so you can get the most out of every twenty-four hour period—and still get enough sleep.

When you break your day down into manageable chunks, you reduce cognitive fatigue by strategically targeting your focus. This helps you improve your productivity and performance, which ultimately leads to increased profitability and peace of mind. If you’re looking for a framework to help manage your time and maximize your day, this episode is for you.

What if you could read one book a week without speed reading?

The average American reads four books a year. Compare that to the average CEO who reads four to five books a month, and it’s easy to see how reading one book a week, fifty-two books a year, is a huge advantage in business, learning, and life. There’s no denying that leaders are readers.

I love the topic of today’s episode. Reading is important to me because I grew up with learning challenges from a brain injury. It took me a few extra years to learn how to read and it was one of my biggest challenges. That’s why I’m so passionate about helping you unlock your reading superpower.

We live the age of information, where the right knowledge isn’t just power, it’s profit. The faster you learn, the faster you can earn. And the quickest, easiest way to learn anything is by reading a book. If you’re looking for tips, tools, and techniques to help you read more, this episode is for you.

How do you tap the power of laziness to improve neuro-fitness?

Your body evolved to save energy. It’s what kept you alive by ensuring you didn’t waste energy on unnecessary tasks. When you aren’t in life-threatening danger, the brain will always encourage rest. But in the modern world, if you give into this impulse too often, you might think you’re lazy.

How do you stay younger longer?

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.

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.

And the most important social network you have are the people you love.

How do you focus a distracted mind?

How do you bounce back from a mistake?

We all make mistakes, but they can be difficult to accept them in the moment. No matter how impeccable you are or how perfect you want to be, the question is not whether you will eventually mess up, it’s will you own it and learn from life’s inevitable ups and downs?

In today’s episode, I’m going to share three quick things you can do to put mistakes behind you. It isn’t easy accepting when you blunder. But the key is to learn from your missteps, so you can move forward, rather than denying them.

It’s impossible to avoid miscalculations and slipups in life—both big and small. And the busier you are, the more likely you are to make errors. Listen in, as I give you three things you can so to bounce back from any mistake without succumbing to panic, blame, or excuses.

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

My book, Limitless, opens with a quote from a famous French philosopher that says, “Life is the C between B & D”. B is birth, D is death, and C—life—is choice. Every morning you have a chance and a choice to grow, make things better, and move in the direction to achieve everything you desire.

On today’s episode, I’m going to go over four areas that you can focus on every single day to change the things you might not believe you have agency or control over. As I go through these areas, I want you commit to making a real choice by the end.

There are a lot of areas in life that might feel like you don’t have influence over. But you do. You are the sum total of all the choices you’ve made in life—good, bad, or indifferent. If you’re ready to concentrate your efforts in specific, direct ways to unlock your limitless life, this episode is for you.

What are the best nutrients and foods for optimal brain health?

We are a society on the go and that often means it’s difficult to find foods that are nutritious, delicious, and convenient. You already know how important it is to eat for better brain health, but how can you find foods that are easy without adding extra time to your already busy day?

To dive into this topic, I’m excited to be live in the MOSH office today with actor Patrick Schwarzenegger and media icon Maria Shriver. Founded in 2021, MOSH bar is a family-run business focused on creating better brain health through food, education, research, and providing the tools for a “mindstyle” lifestyle.

I believe if you can change your brain, you can change your world. While there are many variables that go into nurturing optimal brain health, the food you choose is a large piece of living a limitless life. Listen in, as Patrick and Maria talk about their favorite brain nutrients and why they’re on a mission to make eating for your brain simple and convenient.

How can you boost and unlock your multiple intelligences?

There’s a common misunderstanding that there is one type of intelligence. Maybe you took a standardized test when you were in school, and that score was how you defined your IQ. But research shows that not only are there multiple types of intelligence, but it isn’t a fixed number either.

I’m going to dive into this research on today’s show. Specifically, I’m going to go over Howard Gardner’s eight types of intelligences, plus a few extra, and some examples of how they might have developed or shaped your experiences of the world.

I talk a lot about the importance of having a growth mindset and this is why. You can improve your intelligence, but you first have to believe it’s possible. Listen in, as I describe each of the eight types of intelligences and visualize each one to determine which type—or types—you connect with the most.

How can you enhance your child’s education to meet the unknown demands of their future?

In our rapidly changing world, it can be difficult to find education that will serve your children’s needs as they grow towards adulthood. Very few of the options take into account what children might encounter once they leave school. So, how do you find resources to develop your child’s ability to learn rapidly, adapt quickly, stay curious, and excel at problem solving?

I’m excited to have Katie Wells on the show today. She’s Founder of Wellness Mama, mom of six, and a best-selling author. Her background in research, journalism, and nutrition has made her a powerful ally in education empowerment.

Our education system focuses too much on what to learn rather than how to learn. That means it often hinders the growth and development that will serve your child’s future best. If you’re looking for a better approach to enhance your child’s education from your home, this episode is for you.

For many people, the Covid pandemic had long-lasting effects that they’re struggling with today. You’ve likely heard of Covid brain, marked by brain fog, sleeplessness, anxiety, depression, and focus and concentration issues.

How can you grow your gratitude?

We talk a lot about how gratitude rewires your brain, but the benefits don’t stop there. Gratitude lowers your blood pressure, helps you sleep, and even raises your self-esteem. That’s why it’s so important to nurture your gratitude, so it can grow and become abundant.

I’m grateful to be here with you today, talking in-depth on this subject. I believe that what you appreciate in life, appreciates. The more you express gratitude, the more plentiful gratitude becomes.

What are the keys to long-life learning?

There’s a difference between being a life-long learner and long-life learner. How you learn at thirty years old is different from how you learn at sixty years old. As you age, your brain changes, which then transforms how you look at certain topics, what you want to learn about, and why you want to learn about them.

To go deeper into this topic, I’m thrilled to have Chip Conley as our special guest today. Chip is the founder and CEO of Modern Elder Academy, which focuses on the value of intergenerational collaboration in companies. His latest book, Wisdom@Work: The Making of a Modern Elder, encourages people to rethink the value of having five generations contributing to the workspace.

Long-life learning is the idea your thoughts are part of a holistic, systemic process that adapts as you age. Your focus and interests shift into seeking deeper meaning in the topics and subjects you study. Society tends to focus on how long you live. Listen in, as Chip explains why he believes the focus should be on depth and how you can become a long-life learner.

Can meditation improve your intuition, performance, and relationships?

When it comes to productivity and performance, meditation is a powerful tool. But the benefits of meditation extend far beyond simply getting day-to-day results. By focusing your mind for a few minutes a day, you can achieve results far beyond what you think is possible.

To go deeper into this topic, I’m excited to be here with today’s guest, Vishen Lakhiani. Vishen is the founder of Mindvalley and a New York Times bestselling author of several books.

What is a genius network and how do you build one?

You’ve probably heard me say who you spend time with is who you become. That’s because your brain power doesn’t rely solely on your neurological networks, it’s influenced and shaped by your social network. Who you surround yourself with can have a direct impact on your capabilities and success.

I’m excited to go deeper into this topic with our guest today, Joe Polish. Joe is the founder of Genius Network, one of the highest-level groups for entrepreneurs in the world. He’s host of multiple top-ranked podcasts, and author of several books, including his latest, What’s in It for Them?: 9 Genius Networking Principles to Get What You Want by Helping Others Get What They Want.

How do you take effective notes so that you can remember more?

As technology progresses, there are more notetaking options than ever before. While studies consistently show handwritten notes have better retention and comprehension than any other method, we still get asked frequently what the best whole brain method for taking notes is.

Today, I’m going to take some of these questions from the Kwik Brain Universe on notetaking and do a modified Q&A to go into more specific detail on my favorite methods.

The more information you can remember, the more likely you can utilize those learnings in your daily life. Listen in, as I review several ways to level up your notetaking skills to help you learn faster and remember more.

How do you make the placebo effect work for you?

We talk a lot about the power of mindset. Before you can achieve any goal, you have to believe it’s possible and change your inner self-talk to support that belief. There’s powerful science that shows that the way you choose to see the world can physically affect your mind and your body, but you can even change your business, your brand, and beyond.

I’m excited to have this conversation today with our guest Erik Vance. Erik is a science journalist and an editor with The New York Times Well desk. He’s also the author of the book, Suggestible You: The Curious Science of Your Brain’s Ability to Deceive, Transform, and Heal.

Research into the power of suggestibility shows that your brain relies on analyzing the past to make predictions about the future. And it takes a lot of shortcuts based on what it expects the outcome to be. Listen in, as Erik talks about how you can use the power of these expectations and beliefs to achieve extraordinary results in any area of your life.

Can physical exercise boost your brain power and focus?

You’ve heard me say, as your body moves, the brain grooves. That’s because the primary reason you have a brain is to control the movement in your body. And as you move, your brain creates brain-derived neurotropic factors, which is like fertilizer for the brain.

Today, I want to welcome you to do this Kwik challenge with me. I believe that when you challenge yourself in one area, you learn how to challenge yourself in other areas of your life. That’s how you build strength and mental resilience.

You can make real change in your life simply by challenging yourself to do brand new things. It adds novelty to your life, which creates new brain connections and stimulates neural growth. Listen in, as I talk about some physical exercises you can do to boost your brain power and level up your focus.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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?

In today’s episode, I’m going to share a few Kwik Tips on how you can harness your focus and sharpen your ability to concentrate on one thing at a time.

Many people feel a constant pressure to get more done in less time. But research shows that multitasking doesn’t result in more productivity, and it can actually cost you time and money instead.

How can you triple your time-management capacity?

We’ve all had days where time seems to fly. Or a morning where we’ve gotten more done in a few hours than the last two weeks combined. But time isn’t elusive and the one thing all super productive individuals have in common is that they’ve learned not just how to control their time but maximize it.

To talk about this important topic, I’m thrilled to have Ed Mylett on our show today. Ed is an entrepreneur, keynote speaker, philanthropist, podcast host, and best-selling author of #Max Out Your Life: Strategies for Becoming an Elite Performer and The Power of One More: The Ultimate Guide to Happiness and Success.

How do you become a master of your own behaviors and habits?

All habits begin with small, simple steps. That’s why I break down my morning routine into bite-sized actions and periodically turn them into easy challenges for you to do every day. One tiny action can compound into big change.

This week’s Kwik Challenge is to stay hydrated. You can lose up to a pound of water while you sleep, which means you’re likely dehydrated when you wake up. Drinking water is vital for brain and body health—especially as we head into peak summer heat.

Change doesn’t have to be difficult. I often talk about how the treasures of your life are hidden in your daily routine, and you can uncover them by making small adjustments to your behaviors. Listen in, as I go over the six benefits for staying hydrated and give you some Kwik tips on how to incorporate more water into your daily routine.

How do you remember your seed phrase for your crypto wallet—or any password—easily and effortlessly?

Have you ever come up with a password, PIN number, or code only to forget it when you need it most? Or maybe you haven’t forgotten it, but you worry that you will. We live in a technological world, where online security is vital in ensuring your personal, professional, and financial information stays safe.

Today, I want to walk you through a memory exercise to help you remember lists in sequential order. When it comes to certain things—like your crypto seed phrase—the specific order is key. This method is designed to help you learn any series of words, events, places, and more.

I believe the two most costly words in life are “I forgot”. Every time you forget something, you lose time, productivity, relationships, and potentially wealth. Even if you don’t have a password or phrase you need to memorize, this exercise is a great way to stretch your memory muscles. Listen in, as I teach you a fun and effective technique to recall twelve random words.

How do you turn burnout into your personal breakthrough?

When you’re passionate about something, it’s common to jump in with both feet. You become obsessed with your project—going all in, all the time. But that often leads to a lot of stress, which can turn your energized flame into ashes, and induce a state of burnout.

This is a topic I’m really passionate about and I’m excited to have Jenna Kutcher on our show today. Jenna is a mother, an entrepreneur, and host of the top-rated podcast, Goal Digger. She’s also author of her brand-new book, How Are You, Really?: Living Your Truth One Answer at a Time.

How do you breathe during stressful times?

That might seem like a strange question. After all, breathing is something we do automatically. But how you breathe can change the physiological response you have to a situation. Practicing breathwork can help you experience stress safely so that you can learn to modulate your breath during any scenario life throws at you.

What is the best approach for treating and preventing Alzheimer’s Disease?

After my traumatic brain injury, my grandmother became my primary caregiver because my parents had to work multiple jobs. From a young age, I watched her struggle with Alzheimer’s, and I saw firsthand how devastating this disease is. It’s why I’m so passionate about brain health and work with leading experts in their mission to understand, treat, and prevent Alzheimer’s and other brain diseases.

How do you begin your day to jumpstart your brain for greater productivity and peace of mind?   One of the most consistent questions I get from our community is how I start my day. I believe that if you can win the morning, you can win the day. And it all starts by establishing a set of routines and habits that create positive momentum to move you forward. In today’s episode, I’m going to walk you through some of the habits I’ve created that make up my ideal morning. Notice how I said ideal. My goal is to do as many things as possible, but keep in mind that every morning is different. The important thing is to start the day with self-love and self-care, so remember to be kind to yourself as you work towards change. Creating a morning routine takes advantage of the science of momentum, which helps you avoid decision fatigue. Instead of having to make constant choices, you let your routine generate energy to carry you through your day. If you want to learn how to begin each morning with clarity, vision, and direction, this episode is for you.
