492. The Neuroscience of Making and Breaking a Habit Pt.1

We are HERE!!! with another Neuroscience episode.

I tried to pack it all into one, but alas, I have to split it into two eps. Part one is all about how to make a habit.

I talk about what brain areas and what neurochemicals are involved in creating and strengthening a habit.

How to harness the times of day, locations and neurotransmitters to give yourself the best chance of succeeding

How to structure your routine / habits so it is easier to adhere to

And lots more.

Let me know in the comments if you would like me to cover any other neuroscience topic and I will endeavour to DO IT.

Dankeeeeeee and until next time.

The Neuroscience of Saunas and the Incredible Benefits For Your Brain and Longevity

BONJOUR.

And welcome to one of my most important episodes for your brain health. This episode was originally released a few years ago (episode 88) and would have to be top 5 of my all time favourite episodes due to how much you will learn about how good saunas can be for your brain health, your stress levels, sleep and overall physical health. How many times per week, how long etc will all be covered in this episode.

I hope you enjoy!

490. Ten questions to ask yourself if you are unsure about having kids

This is the episode you have been asking for and waiting for and we are finally here!

How do you really know if you want children? Can you ever truly be ready for it? And what kind of questions do you need to ask yourself AND your partner before embarking on starting a family, or choosing to not.

While I cannot give you black and white answers, I really hope this episode helps you get deeper into your own thoughts about the topic and lead you to having a bit more clarity around the subject!

I asked myself these questions before having my own children and I feel it did help prepare me for this new season in life quite a bit!

Enjoy!
