The Dr CK Bray Show

EPISODE 329 Science is only beginning to understand the power of the brain. In this mind blowing episode, Dr. Bray explores a few of the incredible feats of the brain and how implementing them can be life changing.

FAN FAVORITE - EPISODE 297 More work equals more productivity, right? Wrong! Did you know that studies and research show that more “aha!” moments come to those who take strategic breaks? This week’s podcast touches on the power of a weekly break to allow your brain to heal and the science behind why that works!

EPISODE 328 Amidst all the news on health, I thought it would be fascinating to learn about areas called the “blue zone.” These are locations in the world where people live a full life into their nineties and even past a hundred years old. In the early 2000s, researchers identified a region of Sardinia’s Nuoro province as the place with the highest concentration of male centenarians in the world. The world’s longest-lived women are found on the island of Okinawa. In Loma Linda, California a population of Seventh-day Adventist’s life expectancies exceeds the average by about a decade. These are only a few locations that have been identified as blue zones. But I was more interested in why these individuals live so long and why they are also happier. What do they eat? How much do they sleep? What about exercise and do they have friends and what is their sense of social belonging. Those answers and more can be found in this fascinating podcast about the Island of Ikaria.

EPISODE 327 If you need a dose of hope today you have come to the right place. Dr. Bray shares insights and a few humorous moments into our current situation.  Stay safe and stay well!

Joseph Campbell wrote about a hero’s journey. During difficult times a hero always seems to emerge. Dr. Bray shares a recent experience he claims was his own “hero’s journey” and uses the experience to remind us of the needs of others. During this covid crisis, while so many are in need, there is a tremendous opportunity to be the hero for a neighbor, friend, or even someone we don’t know. Brain science tells us that when we help others, our own pain and suffering is alleviated. Stay well, and stay safe!

EPISODE 325 The World is in turmoil, and your job may soon be affected. While this is not a topic that any of us want to think about, it is essential to be prepared. Understanding the steps of what to do after losing your job can make all the difference in how quickly you secure a new one. Dr. Bray shares questions you need to ask when you are notified you are being laid off. Dr. Bray also reviews the steps you need to take the first few weeks of not working.

EPISODE 324 The time available to us each day has increased as most of us are working from home. While our work schedules have been thrown to the wolves, demands for our time have changed. Homeschooling, quarantined relationships, and working from the kitchen table have changed our days. This change in the world has caused a pause in our lives and provided you with a gift. The gift of choosing what to do with time that you previously spent on children's activities, volunteer work and time spent with friends. You have a gift to spend time discovering more about who you are and what you want your life to mean. A gift like this may never come again, so learn how to make the right choice on the Dr. CK Bray show.

EPISODE 323 The world of work has changed for 2020.  The way we worked in the past has changed, and the need to learn how to adapt and evolve is key to your ability to thrive and be successful.  In this episode Dr. Bray discusses the benefits, and pitfalls of working from home. Not working in an office is a new adventure for many, so stay ahead of the game and learn how to make the most of this new landscape. 

EPISODE 322 When I taped this show a few weeks ago I never could have imagined what our world would look like today. We are all experiencing massive change, sadness, loss, uncertainty and fear in what our lives will look like in the future. In this episode Dr. Bray will provide some strategies and thoughts on how to move forward in these turbulent times while focusing on the aspects of life that provide the most meaning and fulfillment. Be safe and please keep yourself healthy!

EPISODE 321 Who could have guessed what would happen in the three weeks since I taped this show!  I have learned my lesson, I had no idea that things would progress so quickly with the coronavirus.  I apologize that I didn't put this show out three weeks ago, but I figure the information contained in today's episode may still help.  Be prepared!
