Loving this podcast!
Well researched and well presented. I’m fascinated with brain health & this feels accessible to my ( non-scientist ) brain while not at all patronising. Excellent work.
I really love how the presenters explore topics from some fun and interesting incites to deep but digestible explanations of research. Great dynamic between the two of them and super interesting topics with lots of food for thought and practical take away to improve your health and wellbeing.
This is such a good show. Obviously really intelligent presenters but they make the science interesting and useful. They make complicated concepts straight forward by having what seems like a natural conversation about them. But without appearing to dumb down the subject matter. I highly recommend. (Q to the presenters: might computer games fit the quick/ intuitive learning category? I don’t play them but I’ve seen kids working their way through extremely complex rules and set-ups).
I listened to the manifesting episode first. It was the perfect mixture of critique through a neuroscience lens and personal reflections that consider the human implications of the topic. So much science discussed in a very accessible conversational format.
I really enjoyed the cold water swimming episode. Lots of really interesting insights. Has made me want to get out into the water again.
