What are the chances that soon enough one will be cautious enough not to have certain thoughts in fear of breaking the laws? Sooner than you might think.. Join me in this episode where I share findings from Duke University proving the rise of mind-reading technology. 

Why have we evolved to have this energy-demanding spider-web in our heads? The answer lies in this episode.. Quick Hint: Our brilliant brains are mostly designed for movement.

Evidence has been mounting on the startling connections between air pollution and decreased cognition and well-being. I don't think this is an issue that is getting the visibility it deserves, so I hope this episode serves it a little justice. We will be looking at the changes we can make on both individual and collective levels to tame these environmental insults before it goes out of hand. 

I am joined here by the amazing expert at Flow, Dr Jasmine Tan. She is currently immersed in her studies at Oxford, but in this episode, she provides us with insights into the findings of her own PhD project with Professor Joydeep Bhattacharya in the domain of Flow. 

This episode pays tribute to the founder of the field himself Dr Csikszentmihalyi who has recently passed away. May his soul rest in peace.

Your brain and belly have been on an endless chat since the day you were born. Thorough scientific research has been offered proving that obesity is a disease that does not have much to do with self-control as people assume. In this episode, I will introduce a molecule discovered in both the brain and gut that helps control appetite, offering relief for those living with obesity.

A bias is a preference for or against an individual or a group of people. Implicit biases specifically are sneaky and hard to spot. The bright side is that these unconscious assumptions and attitudes can be dealt with, as doing the right internal work will undoubtedly enable us to spark change for the better. 

This episode is a super-soul edition. Here, I dive into a mixture of philosophy and neuroscience in an attempt to answer the puzzling question of " What constitutes our sense of self? Here is a liberating concept for you to adopt, as Buddha said " Well-makers lead the water, fletchers bend the arrow, carpenters bend a log of wood, wise people fashion themselves." 

This week I am joined by the brilliant Hamzah Selim, the CEO of the app “Mindsteps”. Hamzah is an imperial alumni, and UCL medical student who is playing a major role in increasing accessibility to neurological care for dementia patients. Today he is here to share with us the driving ambition behind his app and how he is hoaxing in on preventive medicine to improve the overall life quality of dementia patients as well as the healthcare system hand in hand with the NHS.
