  • Why Online Fitness Advice Rarely Matches Real-World Results | ft. Ben Bruno
    Every decade after 30, women lose up to 8% of their muscle mass—and by 50, many can’t even carry groceries upstairs.

  • Alzheimer’s Is 95% Preventable — Here’s the Science
    For decades, we’ve been told Alzheimer’s strikes in our 70s or 80s — but that’s not the full story. The truth is, it begins silently, building for years—sometimes decades—before symptoms ever appear. And by the time you notice it, the damage has already been done. In this solo episode, I break down what I’ve learned after a decade studying brain health — especially the unique risks women face in midlife. Two out of three cases of Alzheimer’s are female. Why? It’s not just about age — it’s about hormones, metabolism, and lifestyle choices that start changing in our 30s, 40s, and 50s. I’ll also share why I created Brain Code™ — my new digital course for women 40+ who want a science-backed plan to lower their risk of cognitive decline and live sharper, longer, and stronger lives. This isn’t optional self-care — it’s your cognitive Olympics. *** Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for more conversations at the intersection of brain science and performance.

  • The Hidden Trimester That Determines Fertility | ft. Vida Delrahim and Ronit Menashe
    I used to assume conception began at the first sign of pregnancy — until I learned about Trimester Zero. The 100-day window before conception may be the most powerful period in shaping your baby’s lifelong health — and your own. In this minisode, I sit down with Vida Delrahim and Ronit Menashe, co-founders of WeNatal, to unpack what science now calls the pre-pregnancy trimester. We talk about how both women and men can dramatically influence fertility and genetics before conception through nutrition, lifestyle, and the health of one mighty organelle — the mitochondria.This episode features highlights from our full conversation, which premiered August 12th, 2025. Watch the full episode here → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gztCFH603g About the guests:After experiencing miscarriages just a week apart, best friends Vida and Ronit were devastated — and confused. Both were healthy, both on prenatal vitamins, and yet doctors dismissed their losses as “random” or “age-related.” They partnered with leading experts, pored over research, and created a science-backed prenatal system for both women and men. What began as a personal mission has grown into WeNatal — a movement giving couples the knowledge, tools, and products to support conception, pregnancy, and the lifelong health of future generations. *** Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for more conversations at the intersection of brain science and performance.

  • The Hidden Toxins You’re Breathing Every Day (And Don’t Even Know It) | ft. Mike Feldstein
    You think you’re living healthy—organic food, filtered water, supplements—but what about the air you breathe? In this episode, I sit down with disaster-recovery expert and Jaspr founder Mike Feldstein to expose the hidden dangers of indoor air and how it may be silently sabotaging your health, sleep, and longevity. After years rebuilding homes post-disaster, Mike discovered that people were getting sicker—not from what they ate, but from what they breathed. His solution: Jaspr, a sleek air-scrubbing system that removes 99.9% of ultra-fine particles. We break down how poor air quality impacts your biology and why cleaning the air could be the missing link to better performance and longer life.

  • This Everyday Food Could Save Your Heart | ft. Dr. Rupy Aujla
