The Longevity & Lifestyle Podcast

What if your stress responses, emotional patterns, and even motivation weren’t flaws to fix but signals to understand?In this powerful episode, Dr. Rewire (Dr. Alok Trivedi) reveals how emotional biohacking and brain DNA insights can transform the way we relate to stress, performance, and ourselves. Drawing on nearly three decades of clinical experience, Dr. Rewire explains why emotions are data, not directives and how rewiring the nervous system can unlock peace of mind, resilience, and longevity.We explore how personalised brain DNA patterns influence motivation, stress tolerance, recovery, and relationships and why one-size-fits-all biohacking often backfires. This conversation reframes mental health from “fixing what’s broken” to understanding how the brain is designed to protect us and how to work with it instead of against it.We explore:Emotional biohacking and nervous system regulationBrain DNA, neurotransmitters & neuroflexibilityWhy stress, anxiety & burnout are adaptive signalsPersonalised approaches to mindset, health & longevityHow to rewire emotions for clarity, balance & peace of mindThis is a grounded, empowering conversation that invites you to know yourself — scientifically and live in alignment with your unique design.Tune in! Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-longevity-and-lifestyle-podcast/donations

Why does hunger feel so loud — and why does willpower so often fail?In this illuminating episode, Sarah Kennedy, founder and CEO of Calocurb, unpacks the biology of hunger, the gut-brain axis, and the powerful role of GLP-1 in appetite regulation.
