Description
Did you know that looking after your brain is one of the best ways to be more productive? And your gut is central to the decisions you make?
This episode brings insights from two professionals at the cutting edge of their fields, to give actionable steps on how to be more effective, improving your life at work and at home.
Dr Tara is a world-leading neuroscientist and best selling author of ‘The Source’. She has a PhD in neuropharmacology, was a medical doctor and child psychologist, having trained at Oxford University. She has spent the last decade coaching leaders and CEOs from across the world and is also a senior lecturer at MIT Sloan, where she teaches classes on how understanding the brain and neuroscience can lead to better business performance. She doesn’t just understand the brain inside out, she knows how to communicate what you need to know about it - to help you build better habits and have a bigger impact.
Sophie Medlin is one of the UK’s most respected gut experts. She’s a medically trained nutrition professional, a senior lecturer at King's College, the Chair of the British Dietietic Association for London and star of Channel 4s new show ‘Know your Shit’. She explains how looking after your gut can enable you to be the best leader you can be.
They are both colleagues of our host Dan at his company Heights.
We talk about:
How you know when your brain isn’t being looked after
What is neuroplasticity? How our brains actually work.
The best habits for your brain to start doing
The non-negotiable priorities for looking after your brain
What is the gut microbiome and why is it so important?
Why looking after your gut can keep your immune system healthier and stop you getting sick
How, cell for cell, we are more bacteria than human
How drinking diet sodas might mean you actually consume more calories
Their tips for optimising the brain and gut for peak performance.
We'd love your feedback
