    Brad and his team do an excellent job interviewing top thinkers and leaders in the health and wellness space. I really appreciate the natural, organic flow of each episode; nothing seems over-edited or highly produced. As both a physical therapist and wellness coach, the content is always so valuable. Thank you!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Measuring & Enhancing Peak Performance - Dr. Izzy Justice
Q: How practical are these neurohacks in real-world settings?
They are portable and can be done without special equipment; individuals can perform quick sequences with their hands or body to shift into the 10 Hz state during the moments that matter, like during a game, exam, or critical work moment.
Measuring & Enhancing Peak Performance - Dr. Izzy Justice
Q: What is the core scientific idea behind the 10 Hz concept?
The brain operates at a low-frequency state around 10 Hz during optimal performance, which amplifies sensory input and unlocks access to a person's internal inventory of memories and skills, leading to better, more intuitive actions.
Brad Stulberg: The Way of Excellence
Q: What distinguishes genuine excellence from hustle culture?
Genuine excellence focuses on meaningful, sustainable growth rather than quick fixes and superficial achievements.
Brad Stulberg: The Way of Excellence
