Supernormal Creativity – Hijacked by Noise, Rewired for Flow: 

Feeling stuck and uninspired? That’s not a lack of talent—it’s your brain hijacked by screens and constant noise. Digital distractions shut down your creativity networks and keep you locked in survival mode. But here’s the truth: your spark isn’t gone—it’s buried. By creating silence, setting boundaries around what you consume, and giving your brain space to play, you ca...

Your phone isn’t just distracting you—it’s hijacking your brain. Every ping, scroll, and AI “interaction” trains your nervous system to crave chaos instead of calm. Over time, your prefrontal cortex (focus and decision-making) weakens, your bonding hormones misfire, and real life starts to feel flat or unfulfilling. I don’t want this for you. I’m here for you, and I can help you rewire your brain using the principles of neuroscienc...

Let’s set the record straight—I’m not anti-sex. I’m pro real sex, real connection, real intimacy.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, numb, or like porn is messing with your desire for a real partner… you’re not imagining it. That dopamine hit from pixels? It miswires your brain to crave fantasy over reality. And it slowly pulls you away from true connection.

I made this video just for you. To show you what’s really going on in your...

Does porn disrupt your ability to stay loyal and build real intimacy? Neuroscience shows that it does. That’s why I created this series: to help you understand better.

Porn rewires your brain for objectification instead of bonding. And over time, it weakens trust and erodes the deep connection you need for lasting love.

The good news? Your brain can heal. With neuroscience-backed strategies, you can rewire those pattern...

When people hear “sex addiction,” they often imagine shame or labels. But this isn’t about judgment. It’s about what’s happening in your brain.

      Cardiac Cowboys

      The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
