Reset Your Metabolism, Reboot Your Mental Health with Dr. Christopher Palmer

What are the cognitive benefits of being multilingual? Language surrounds you nearly every waking moment of your life. From your first words to your last, language helps you communicate your thoughts and feelings, allowing you to connect with others. And for many people, this rich linguistic environment involves not just one language, but two or more. Today, I’m going to explore the profound cognitive benefits of language. Specifically, how knowing more than one language can have a big impact on key brain functions like concentration, memory, task-switching, and creativity. It can even help slow cognitive decline. Beyond the brain benefits, research shows that the majority of the world’s population is multilingual. That means the more languages you can speak, the deeper the connections you can forge with those around you. If you’re looking for practical tips, techniques, and resources to help you pick up new languages faster and more effectively, this episode is for you.

Is the air you breathe affecting your brain? If you’re familiar with the ten keys to a healthy brain, you know that one of the keys is clean environment. Part of that environment is the quality of the air you breathe. You can go weeks without eating, days without water, but you can only go minutes without breathing. Clean air is essential to not just your overall health, but your quality of life. I’m excited to welcome Peter Spiegel to the show today. Peter is the founder and CEO of Ideal Living, a wellness company democratizing quality. His life’s purpose has been to enhance the lives of others and help them thrive. By sharing science-backed products, he seeks to ensure everyone has access to clean air and pure water. You want your home to be a sanctuary, but according to the EPA, indoor air can be anywhere from 5 to 100 times more polluted than outdoor air. Things like perfume, candles, and mold can harm your overall quality of life as the most dangerous particles to the human brain are very, very small. If you want to learn how to manage indoor air quality for your overall well-being, this episode is for you.

Why do you remember some things and forget others? When it comes to memory, your brain is programmed to forget. That’s why it’s not only important to train your memory, but understand the complex mechanism of how your brain actually records and retrieves the past. Your memories make you who you are and because of the way your brain transforms memories, you can use them to understand the present and imagine the future. I’m excited to go on a deep dive into this topic with our guest today, Dr. Charan Ranganath. Dr. Ranganath is a Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, and Director of the Dynamic Memory Lab at UC Davis. For over 25 years, he’s studied the mechanisms in the brain that allows you to remember past events. He’s here to talk about his brand-new book, Why We Remember: Unlocking Memory’s Power to Hold on to What Matters. There is extraordinary overlap in the brain between the systems that operate your memory and your imagination. You can use this overlap to make better choices that can lead to better memories, and that in turn, can open new opportunities in your life. Listen in as Dr. Ranganath goes into how the brain records and retrieves the past, and what you can do to make your memory stronger.
