What is synesthesia?

Can you imagine a world where you can taste words, see numbers as colors, or hear sound as textures? This is how roughly 4% of the population experiences the world. And while we’ve known about this fascinating phenomenon for well over two hundred years, what exactly causes this unusual affliction still remains a mystery.

I’m excited to explore this topic with you today. Synesthesia is an intriguing neurological condition where the cognitive pathways of the senses become intertwined. That cross-sensory stimulation offers a unique glimpse into the inner workings of the brain.

Synesthesia is often associated with highly creative people in literature, music, and art. Their ability to experience the world differently allows for new and interesting ideas to emerge. Listen in as I talk about the different types of synesthesia, what the benefits of this phenomenon can be, and how you might put these insights to use.

What are the three keys to winning the morning so you can win the day?

When you look at highly productive and successful people, they often have a morning routine. Habits become triggers for other similar behavior because of the messages inherent in those actions. That’s why you need to be mindful about what habits you reinforce so that you don’t just validate the person you currently are but encourage who you want to become.

I’m excited to welcome Dr. Rangan Chatterjee back to our show. Dr. Chatterjee is a practicing physician, star of the popular BBC One series, Doctor in the House, and author five bestselling books. He’s here to talk about how you can instill simply yet powerful habits for your health and happiness.

Often, the most effective things are the simplest. But simplicity can easily become an excuse for not engaging in that behavior. The truth is habits are nothing more than a small promise you make to yourself—and then keep. Listen in as Dr. Chatterjee shares the basic tenets of creating a routine that has the power to change your entire day.

People go to therapy to get support for a wide range of reasons. You might want short-term guidance dealing with grief or sudden life changes. Or perhaps you need support dealing with the long-lasting effects of trauma. But instead of spending years in traditional talk therapy, an emerging new treatment is making it possible to heal and recover faster and more effectively.

On today’s episode, I’m going to talk about brain-based therapy. This approach combines neurology and psychology, focusing on understanding the role neuroplasticity plays in enhancing the positive results of therapy.

Psychological distress can impact your brain by embedding deep in your neural networks and influencing your nervous system on a daily basis. If left long enough, those pathways can be difficult to untangle, leaving you feeling helpless and overwhelmed. Listen in as I explain how you can use these tools in your current treatment to help rewire your brain, improve your mood, and effectively change your behavior.

How important is rest to your productivity, well-being, and overall health?

The statistics on stress and fatigue are startling. In the UK, half a million people suffer from work-related stress. In the US, 13% of workplace injuries occur due to fatigue. More than a quarter of the population has fallen asleep at work, and even more worrying, 16% while driving. It’s clear people are experiencing a rest crisis. But what can we do about it?

Today’s guest challenges the idea that rest and productivity are at odds. Claudia Hammond an award-winning broadcaster, psychology lecturer, and host of several podcasts and radio shows. She’s also the bestselling of authors of several books, including The Art of Rest: How to Find Respite in the Modern Age.

But you don’t have to hope for a miracle drug or treatment because there are proactive steps you can take right now. Listen in as Dr. Sandison shares the critical lifestyle factors that contribute the most to cognitive health so you can support your brain health as you age.
