371: How to Navigate Your Quantum Mind & Body for a Longer Life

How can you tap into your quantum body and quantum brain to live a healthier, longer life? The idea of quantum energy might seem like a radical new idea pushing the boundaries of science. But the basis for these ideas go back thousands of years, when ancient healers understood that the body, mind, spirit, and universe were connected in fundamental ways. As science and technology have advanced, we’re finally able to study this interconnectivity and use it to radically change the way we live, grow, and heal. I’m so excited to welcome Dr. Deepak Chopra to our show today. Deepak is the founder of the Chopra Foundation and is a Clinical Professor of Family Medicine and Public Health at the University of California, San Diego, among other positions. He’s written over ninety books, including his newest, [Quantum Body: The Science of Living a Longer, Healthier, More Vital Life] (https://amzn.to/3HCwqvH) . The quantum experience is the interconnectivity of everything. It’s understanding how all your cells know what every other cell in your body is doing instantaneously and simultaneously. Listen in as Deepak explains what consciousness is, how it creates the mind, and the power you can wield when you unlock your quantum body and brain to live a longer, healthier life.

370: The Reason Behind Your Addiction

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] (https://amzn.to/48swn1m) . 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.

367: Why Willpower Alone Won't Change Your Life

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. Even with a ton of research, they haven’t been able to identify a single reason why some people change and others don’t. But there are principles that make change more likely for everyone. I’m excited to welcome Eric Zimmer to the show today. Eric is a behavioral coach who has spent the last twenty years guiding people through significant life changes by helping them build new, empowering habits that align with their core goals. He also hosts the award-winning podcast, <a class="c-link" href= "https://www.oneyoufeed.net/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link= "https://www.oneyoufeed.net/" data-sk="tooltip_parent">The One You Feed</a>, where he has inspiring conversations about creating a life worth living. The power of behavioral change starts with understanding your mind and using that to consciously reshape your actions. Eric’s own journey from homeless addict to helping others overcome their destructive patterns is proof of how transformative real change can be. If you’ve struggled with changing behaviors, breaking addictive patterns, or creating significant change in your life that lasts, this episode is for you.

364: Reversing Chronic Stress and Strengthening Mind-Body Connection with Dr. Ellen Langer

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? If you’re like most people, the first thing that comes to mind is meditation. While meditation is a good practice, mindfulness itself is a way of being that has immediate results for your body and brain. I’m excited to welcome Dr. Ellen Langer to the show today. Dr. Langer is a bestselling author, a professor of psychology at Harvard, and is known as being the mother of mindfulness. She’s here to talk about her latest book, [The Mindful Body: Thinking Our Way to Chronic Health] (https://amzn.to/3TwURlg) . It can be hard to know when you’re not present, because when you’re not in the moment, you’re not aware. In fact, most people live in this state of unawareness. The good news is that mindfulness is a simple process that anyone can embrace. Listen in as Dr. Langer talks about how to become present and aware throughout your day, and how that simple shift can produce amazing results on your overall health. If you want to go more in-depth, be sure to <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WU8BYXp4nf0">watch this episode on our YouTube channel,</a> where Dr. Langer and Jim dive into a much deeper conversation.

362: The Power of Strength Training and Mental Fitness with Sal Di Stefano

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. I’m excited to welcome Sal Di Stefano to the show today. Sal has been a personal trainer since he was eighteen years old. He’s the host of the Mind Pump podcast and is the author of the book, <a class="c-link" href= "https://amzn.to/3T3oTgw" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://amzn.to/3T3oTgw" data-sk= "tooltip_parent">The Resistance Training Revolution: The No-Cardio Way to Burn Fat and Age-Proof Your Body—in Only 60 Minutes a Week</a>.

Listen in as Sal explains why strength training has unique attributes that make it ideal for improved brain performance and how you can use these exercises to get maximum results.
