When I found out that neurons get to compete with sex cells for resources, I found a deep well of research artfully brought together by Dr. Marios Kyriazis under the indispensable soma hypothesis. As technology advances, the positive stress it elicits in our minds (hormesis), trains our neurons to improve. This leads to slower ageing in an increasingly post-reproductive world. Tune in to a special guest episode this season, packed with new ideas and new perspectives on old ideas:

Are You A Charlotte?
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.
