  • Why Moderate Drinking Is a Myth with James Swanwick of Alcohol-Free Lifestyle • 407

    Why Moderate Drinking Is a Myth with James Swanwick of Alcohol-Free Lifestyle • 407
    Jun 24 2025
    Here's what you'll learn in this episode: • The latest neuroscience on how alcohol hijacks your brain's reward system and why willpower alone never works • A four-step method for rewiring cravings and handling social pressure without feeling deprived • How to shift from seeing alcohol-free living as deprivation to embracing it as the ultimate competitive advantage What if the very thing you think is helping you relax is actually stealing your energy, your clarity, and your connection to the people you love most? Last week, I was talking to my neighbor Sarah about her morning routine. She was glowing – literally glowing – and I asked what she'd been doing differently. "I stopped drinking," she said simply. "Three months ago." Then she told me something that stopped me in my tracks: "I didn't realize how much mental space alcohol was taking up until it was gone. I used to spend so much energy thinking about when I'd have my next glass of wine, whether I'd had too much the night before, making excuses for why I deserved a drink after a hard day. When all that noise stopped, it was like someone turned the volume down on anxiety I didn't even know I had." Sarah isn't alone. Something is shifting in our culture around alcohol, and the research is finally catching up to what millions of people are experiencing firsthand. A recent study of over 1,700 people found that even moderate drinking – as little as eight drinks per week – increases your risk of brain lesions by 133%. But here's what really gets me excited: the research on brain recovery is stunning. When people stop drinking, their brains begin reversing damage in as little as two weeks. We're talking about improved cognitive function, better sleep quality, and what scientists are calling "executive function restoration" – basically, your brain's ability to make decisions, control impulses, and focus dramatically improves. Today our guest is James Swanwick. He's the founder of Alcohol Free Lifestyle, author of the book "Clear," and has been alcohol-free for over 15 years. His neuroscience-based approach was recently validated in a University of Washington study showing a 98% reduction in drinking among participants.

  • What 72% of Dying People See Right Before Death (And Why It Changes Everything) with Suzanne O'Brien • 406

    What 72% of Dying People See Right Before Death (And Why It Changes Everything) with Suzanne O'Brien • 406
    Jun 17 2025
    In this episode, you'll learn: How to shift from viewing death as a medical emergency to understanding it as a sacred human experience that can teach us everything about how to live fully The practical wisdom that people at the end of life consistently share about what truly matters and how to apply these insights before it's too late Why developing your own end-of-life plan isn't morbid but actually the most life-affirming thing you can do for yourself and your loved ones What if everything you've been taught about death is wrong? I was nineteen when I watched my father dying of cancer. His nickname had been Buff Bob, and now he looked like a child. Half the weight I was used to seeing, struggling to sip peach nectar from a can with a straw. I sat there watching this man who had been so strong become so fragile, and I had zero tools to process what was happening. My religious upbringing talked about heaven and hell, but it was full of holes and doubts that provided no comfort when I needed it most. So I just didn't know. And that not knowing made everything harder. That experience shaped me in ways I didn't understand for years. It wasn't just the grief. It was the complete lack of preparation, the feeling that we were all just fumbling through this massive moment without any roadmap or wisdom to guide us. We live in a culture that has made death the ultimate taboo. We push it into the shadows while desperately clinging to youth and pretending like our own mortality is somehow optional. Today our guest is Suzanne O'Brien, a former hospice and oncology nurse who has been with over a thousand people at the end of life. She's the founder of the Doula Givers Institute and author of "The Good Death," and she's dedicated her life to bringing back the sacredness of dying well.

  • Why You're Still Tired After All That Self-Work: The Hidden Energy Drain Keeping You Stuck with Reg Malhotra • 405

    Why You're Still Tired After All That Self-Work: The Hidden Energy Drain Keeping You Stuck with Reg Malhotra • 405
    Jun 10 2025
    In this episode, you'll learn: The real reason you feel drained even when nothing "bad" is happening - and how to spot the energy thieves hiding in plain sight Why most people stay stuck solving the same small problems instead of the bigger ones that could actually change their lives A simple process for turning past emotional events into fuel instead of letting them drain your battery in the background Are you tired of being tired for no good reason? You know what I'm talking about. You wake up already feeling behind. You've got your green smoothie, your meditation app, your gratitude journal. You're doing everything the self-help gurus tell you to do. But you still feel like you're dragging yourself through quicksand most days. I spent years thinking I was broken. Maybe I had chronic fatigue. Maybe I needed therapy. Maybe I was just one of those people who wasn't meant to have energy or motivation. Then I learned something that changed everything. And it's going to piss you off when you realize how simple it is. Your energy isn't missing. It's being stolen. By your own brain. Every time you think about that thing your ex said five years ago and feel that familiar sting? That's energy being used right now. Every time you start a new project and immediately think about all the ways it could fail? That's energy being diverted to keep old fears alive. You're literally funding your own limitation. Like paying monthly rent on a house you don't even live in anymore. Today our guest is Reg Malhotra. He's spent years studying why some people seem to have endless energy for their goals while others struggle to get out of their own way. Through his work at Neuromasters Academy, he's helped thousands of people identify exactly where their energy is going and take it back.
