Episodes
This episode trades spreadsheets for soul and maps a clear, practical path out of corporate misery through three life-changing promises: remove the nail, follow your energy, and go all in. Through story, psychology, and embodied wisdom, we reveal why two inner voices battle for control—fear mind versus intuitive intelligence—and how choosing the quiet, expansive voice unlocks the life you actually want.
We begin with t...
This episode reframes leadership as a biological state—not a checklist—and shows how inner stability enables courage, influence, and consistently better decisions. Instead of treating leadership as personality or tactics, we explore how the nervous system shapes mindset, emotional control, and the ability to act boldly under uncertainty. The goal is a practical, science-backed toolkit you can apply today.
We begin by d...
This episode argues that chronic disease is one story told in many dialects—and that story is stalled energy flow. We reframe health as organized, efficient energy movement through the body, and show how mitochondria act not just as fuel generators, but as highly tuned sensing and decision hubs that determine whether the system thrives, compensates, or collapses under stress.
We introduce the Energy Resistance Principl...
This episode breaks down the science of lasting happiness and explains why feelings are evidence—not the goal. Instead of chasing emotional highs, we map a practical, four-pillar plan across faith, family, friendship, and work to help you earn satisfaction, deepen meaning, and anchor your days in genuine connection. The goal is not mood hacking—it’s building a life that reliably produces joy.
We start with the three ma...
This episode traces how metabolic dysfunction drives mood disorders—from brain energy failure and inflammation to insulin resistance that reshapes neural circuits—and lays out the emerging biomarkers and treatments that enable true precision mental health care. Rather than viewing depression and anxiety as purely psychological, we explore the biology beneath: metabolism, mitochondria, and immune signaling.
We begin wit...
This episode explores why 70–90% of retreat participants show rapid, uniform shifts in inflammation, immunity, and gene expression within just seven days—and how Dr. Hemel Patel is designing blinded, large-scale studies to rigorously test those extraordinary claims. We connect epigenetic pressure, beneficial stress, mitochondrial health, and community coherence into a practical framework anyone can use for daily chang...
This episode reveals how the glymphatic system clears toxic proteins during deep sleep, why arterial pulsation acts as the engine of this process, and how your daily habits can either support or block this essential nightly rinse. We translate complex physiology into practical steps you can take tonight to protect long-term brain health.
We explain how arterial pulsation and aquaporin-4 (AQP4) channels power glymphatic...
This episode explores how the brain’s glymphatic system clears metabolic waste, why that drainage slows with age and APOE4 risk, and how patterned TMS may offer a breakthrough path to restoring flow and memory. Emerging evidence shows that glymphatic function is not fixed—it’s plastic—and can be selectively improved in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. We translate early but promising findings into a roadma...
This episode explores how a new ear-mounted impedance device finally allows real-time tracking of the brain’s glymphatic cleaning system—and what it reveals about the 20% boost in waste clearance during deep sleep. We break down the biology behind amyloid and tau removal, explain the technology, and map how continuous data may accelerate drug discovery and personalized prevention strategies for neurodegenerative disea...
This episode explores how chronic insomnia disrupts cognition—and why repairing the brain’s glymphatic cleaning cycle may be the key to restoring mental clarity. We break down new research showing that low-frequency rTMS not only produces rapid sleep improvements but also triggers slower, durable cognitive gains tied directly to enhanced glymphatic clearance.
We start with the severity of chronic insomnia confirmed by ...
This episode explores how the brain’s glymphatic system flushes metabolic waste during sleep—and why deep non-REM slow waves act as the pump that powers this nightly cleanup. We trace the anatomy, physiology, and aging-related vulnerabilities of this essential yet still underappreciated system, linking it to long-term cognitive health and risks from chronic sleep disruption.
We begin with the origin and definition of t...
This episode presents a clear, data-backed breathing protocol designed to raise low HRV and strengthen stress resilience—using a method so simple it can be anchored to everyday transitions. We break down why HRV is a powerful reflection of nervous system adaptability and how slow, structured breathing can shift your physiology toward calm, recovery, and improved autonomic balance.
You’ll learn why six breaths per minut...
This episode argues for a unified, metabolic model of mental health—placing mitochondria at the center of mood, cognition, hormones, and stress. Instead of treating mental illness as purely psychological, we trace how cellular energy production shapes everything from neurotransmitter synthesis to hormonal balance and epigenetic signaling. The result is a comprehensive and empowering framework grounded in metabolic psy...
This episode maps the biology of fear and trauma and explains why the brain can lock in threat after just a single experience—then shows how real healing requires replacing, not erasing, old associations. We break down the physiology of stress, the circuitry of fear learning, and the cognitive stories that shape how we interpret danger, safety, and meaning. The goal: a clear, evidence-based path to recovery using tool...
This episode breaks down why motivation feels scarce—and how modern habits train the brain to crave ease over effort—then offers a practical dopamine reset that rebuilds pursuit, focus, and follow-through. Instead of treating low motivation as a character flaw, we explore the neurobiology of dopamine as a pursuit signal, not a pleasure one, and show how spike-and-crash cycles gradually lower baseline drive.
We explain ...
This episode breaks down what actually happens when you drink alcohol—and why even small daily amounts meaningfully increase cancer risk. We trace the biochemical chain from ethanol to acetaldehyde, a highly reactive toxin that disrupts DNA methylation, accelerates tumor growth, and weakens immune surveillance. The goal is clarity: what alcohol does, how much risk rises per dose, and what limited mitigation strategies...
This episode reframes Alzheimer’s disease by tracing how the plaque-first narrative emerged from rare genetic mutations—and why most age-related cognitive decline is actually driven by systemic metabolic and microvascular health. We break down the evidence across neurodegenerative diseases, highlight what truly predicts risk, and outline four powerful levers that individuals can control today: sleep, lipid management,...
This episode reframes longevity by highlighting two underappreciated pillars—kidney function and precise blood pressure control—as major determinants of how many healthy years you actually get. We walk through the labs you should request, the lifestyle stack that consistently protects renal health, and the new evidence that overturns long-held assumptions about alcohol and sleep. The goal: give you complete clarity on...
This episode turns sauna use from a spa luxury into a science-backed protocol for heart health, brain protection, and mood resilience. We explain how heat exposure mimics the cardiovascular effects of aerobic exercise, activates cellular repair pathways, and delivers benefits that compound when paired with your existing training. The goal is to demystify sauna dosing so you can apply it safely and effectively—no extre...
This episode argues that K-12 struggles for a simple reason: students advance by time instead of mastery, creating widening skill gaps that erode confidence and long-term performance. We explore how AI, mastery learning, and a smarter motivation model can help most students reach top-tier achievement—while freeing up time instead of adding more work.
We begin by examining the cost of a time-based system, from falling t...

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
