    Introducing How to Protect Your Brain and Live Longer | Dr. Andrew Weil from The School of Greatness. Follow the show: The School of Greatness Dr. Andrew Weil drops a counterintuitive truth right out of the gate: avoiding head trauma and quitting smoking are the two most powerful things you can do to prevent cognitive decline, yet almost no one talks about them in the brain health conversation. Most of us are chasing the latest supplement or biohack while ignoring the chronic stress quietly flooding our brains with cortisol and damaging the very region responsible for memory and emotion. Dr. Weil connects the dots between what you eat, how you breathe, who you spend time with, and how long your brain stays sharp. His 4-7-8 breathing technique alone has generated millions of views worldwide and outperforms anxiety medication in his clinical experience. More than any single protocol, though, he returns again and again to one root cause behind poor relationships, chronic illness, and unfulfilled potential: not yet learning how to genuinely love yourself. Dr. Weil’s books: Mind Over Meds Fast Food, Good Food True Food Spontaneous Happiness Why Our Health Matters Healthy Aging The Healthy Kitchen Eating Well for Optimum Health Eight Weeks to Optimum Health Spontaneous Healing Natural Health, Natural Medicine From Chocolate To Morphine Health and Healing In this episode you will: Discover the two most overlooked factors driving cognitive decline and what to cut from your life immediately to protect your brain Learn the free, 60-second breathing technique Dr. Weil calls the most powerful anti-anxiety method he has ever found Understand how your gut microbiome connects to your brain health and which fermented foods rebuild it most effectively Identify the foods and environmental toxins doing the most damage to your long-term cognitive function Explore why loving yourself is not a soft idea but the actual foundation of healthy relationships, emotional resilience, and lasting well-being For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1913 For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960 Follow The Daily Motivation for essential highlights from The School of Greatness More SOG episodes we think you’ll love: Dr. William Li Dr. Jeremy London Dr. Will Bulsiewicz Get more from Lewis!  Get my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!

    Meet the android versions of Mark and Rick — same voices, same sensibilities, significantly less coffee dependency — and they're here every week with The Twist Podcast: Android News Edition, your weekly roundup of everything worth knowing and a few things worth arguing about. Will we go weekly? If the interest is there and we can hire more robots. Each week we're covering four beats: science, politics, food trends, and entertainment. Politics, because ignoring it hasn't been working out great for anyone. Science, because it tells you more about the world than just the news does. Food trends, because you deserve to know that beef tallow is making a comeback and tiramisu is officially everywhere. And entertainment, because even in complicated times the shows we watch and the stories we tell matter. New episodes drop every Friday.

    The Twist Podcast 323: Arrival of the Androids, Fonthill Castle Fun Facts, and Courtney Bryan Talks AI (Interview Part 2)

    Mark and Rick are back with a packed episode. First we pull back the curtain on something new coming to The Twist, our Android News Edition, a dedicated midweek (for now) show where Mark and Rick's android selves plug into entertainment, food trends, politics, and culture. Then, step inside one of Pennsylvania's most extraordinary and eccentric landmarks: Fonthill Castle. Built by archaeologist and tile-maker Henry Chapman Mercer in the early 20th century, this concrete marvel in Doylestown is a labyrinth of rooms, passageways, and tiles, and it's full of secrets worth knowing before you visit (or even if you never do). Finally, Rick continues his conversation with Courtney Bryan in Part 2 of their fascinating interview.
