secrets to living better. We got a lot of work.

his experience on his TV show Limitless. One of the
best ways to boost your brain is to learn a
new skill. You should be here and that was me
because I was featured as a neuroscience expert on the series.
The show premieres tomorrow, Friday, August fifteenth on Hulu and

(00:33):
Disney Plus. In the premiere episode, I serve as Chris's
brain coach and teach him about the powerful science of neuroplasticity.

normal person, and so I found it fascinating to see
what goes on behind the scenes to make these kinds
of productions happen. I cannot wait for you to see
this show. We had so much fun making it again.
It premieres tomorrow, Friday, August fifteenth, on Hulu and Disney Plus.
