What if there was a formula to tap into flow state more often and sustain it longer? Neuroscientist Rachel Lambert joins David for this special bonus episode of The Dr. & The Nurse, embarking on a mission to crack the code. Together they break down the science of flow, the role of brain waves, and why most people struggle to replicate their peak moments.

During their conversation Rachel and David discuss why flow feels effortless yet remains elusive, touching on research from Mihály Csíkszentmihályi and Steven Kotler while revealing gaps in traditional flow science. David challenges existing theories, arguing that flow isn’t just about pushing limits—it’s about training the mind for adaptability.

Listeners will also get an exclusive glimpse into the Flow Code Study, the first scientifically-backed approach to mapping flow in the brain. Rachel and David share insights on how neurofeedback, brainwave training, and mental conditioning can unlock higher performance in sports, business, and daily life.

If you’ve ever wondered how to tap into your flow state on command, this super practical conversation lays the foundation for understanding and mastering flow state like never before.
