How important is rest to your productivity, well-being, and overall health?

The statistics on stress and fatigue are startling. In the UK, half a million people suffer from work-related stress. In the US, 13% of workplace injuries occur due to fatigue. More than a quarter of the population has fallen asleep at work, and even more worrying, 16% while driving. It’s clear people are experiencing a rest crisis. But what can we do about it?

Today’s guest challenges the idea that rest and productivity are at odds. Claudia Hammond an award-winning broadcaster, psychology lecturer, and host of several podcasts and radio shows. She’s also the bestselling of authors of several books, including The Art of Rest: How to Find Respite in the Modern Age.

Many people associate rest with sleep, but those two things are very different. Rest encompasses the activities that allow you to feel restored and refreshed, and those small breaks are vital to helping you destress. Listen in as Claudia shares the eye-opening results of the largest global study on rest and how you can incorporate time into your day to enjoy some peace.

Is there anything you can start doing right now to protect your cognitive health as you age?

Dementia and Alzheimer’s are often viewed as an inevitable risk of aging. In fact, approximately 64% of Americans say their biggest fear around getting older is dementia. It’s not an irrational fear. By 2040, it’s estimated that over 11 million American’s will be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t hope.

Today’s guest challenges many assumptions around aging and brain health. Dr. Heather Sandison is a renowned naturopathic doctor specializing in neurocognitive medicine. She’s the founder of Solcere Health Clinic, San Diego’s premier brain optimization clinic, and Marama, a residential program turning memory care into memory recovery. Dr. Sandison is also the author of the bestselling book, Reversing Alzheimer’s: The New Toolkit to Improve Cognition and Protect Brain Health.

Decades before you ever experience a sign or symptom of Alzheimer’s disease, your brain is already changing. But you don’t have to hope for a miracle drug or treatment because there are proactive steps you can take right now. Listen in as Dr. Sandison shares the critical lifestyle factors that contribute the most to cognitive health so you can support your brain health as you age.

Is achieving a work-life balance a realistic goal in today’s modern age?

Our guests today are more than familiar with this dilemma and they’ve found a way around it. Michael and Megan Hyatt are a father-daughter team who run Full Focus, a company dedicated to helping high achievers live their best lives. They’re here to talk about their book, Win at Work and Succeed at Life: 5 Principles to Free Yourself from the Cult of Overwork.

All areas of your life are interconnected. That’s why balance comes down to energy management—not time management. By focusing on the right things, you can get more done in less time. If you’ve been looking for a way to stay ambitious without sacrificing your happiness, this episode is for you.

How can you create an educational path that is ideal for your child?

Education can be a complex topic and it’s easy for parents to become overwhelmed. Between traditional school, home school, private school, and hybrid programs, there are more options than ever before. No matter what educational path you choose for your child, it’s important to support and nurture their young mind outside of formal curriculum.

I’m very passionate about the topic of today’s episode. As many of you know, I struggled when I was in school. But through the dedicated efforts of my mother, I was able to receive the guidance and support I needed.

Crafting an ideal learning path for a child is a deeply personal decision. You have to consider that child’s unique interests and needs while also balancing your family values and circumstances. If you’ve been thinking about how to create a learning journey for your child, this episode is for you.

What if there was a scientific approach to manifesting your biggest dreams?

Manifesting can be seen as wishful thinking. Even people who believe in it tend to think of it as the law of attraction rather than the brain playing an active role. But it’s possible to make your goals a reality by harnessing the power of your brain, your mind, and your body.

To dive into this topic, I’m excited to welcome Dr. James Doty to the show today. Dr. Doty is a neurosurgeon and faculty member of Stanford’s School of Medicine since 1997. Among his many achievements, he’s dedicated part of his career exploring the mysteries of the brain. He’s here to talk about his book, Mind Magic: The Neuroscience of Manifestation and How It Changes Everything.

Your brain is an extraordinary tool that allows you to do what many believe is impossible. By embedding something deeply in your subconscious, it’s always on alert for any opportunity to make that connection and manifest your intention. Listen in as Dr. Doty delves into how your brain networks, your nervous system, and even the electromagnetic field of your hearts play a crucial role in shaping your reality.

What is actually happening in your brain when you’re in a stressed-out state of mind?

Even though stress has become an inescapable part of daily life, that doesn’t mean all stress is bad. You need a certain amount of stress to reach a state of productivity and focus. But your brain registers negative information more than positive. That’s why it’s important to learn how to combat stress effectively so that it doesn’t harm your nervous system and brain.

I’m excited to welcome Nicole Vignola to our show today. Nicole is a neuroscientist and organizational consultant who makes neuroscience tangible for the masses. She’s here to talk about her brand-new book, Rewire: Break the Cycle, Alter Your Thoughts, and Create Lasting Change.

It might be a surprise, but you’re not hard-wired to stay in specific thought patterns. Your brain has plasticity that makes it capable of redesigning new neural pathways based on your choices. But if you always give in to an urge, you’re going to reinforce your response to that behavior. Listen in as Nicole explains why negativity bias can be so powerful and shares tools to help you regulate your stress response.

Is there a roadmap for growth and success?

When it comes to setting goals, believing something is possible is only one part of the equation. You also have to believe the work is important. But if you want to achieve truly long-lasting results that you can maintain and grow well into the future, you have to build a solid foundation first.

I’m excited to welcome our CEO, Alexis Banc, back to the show today. We’re going to talk about how you can build a mental model that leads to true fulfillment. This process can help support you in making the positive change towards success.

Satisfaction and fulfilment are found in learning and growing so that you have more to give and more to share. But before you can model anyone’s beliefs, habits, or routines to reverse engineer how they got there, you have to know what phase you’re in. Listen in as Alexis and I give you a framework that takes you through the four stages of growth so you can start in the right place and achieve limitless results.
