We all battle in different ways, we all struggle, and we all need to learn how to cope, process, feel and experience life’s ups and downs.

But the truth is that we have a lot of control over our genetic activity. Yes, some genes we cannot do much about, but the vast majority of our DNA listens to us: our thoughts, choices and behavior. In this podcast I speak with Harvard professor, neuroscientist and researcher Dr. Rudolph E. Tanzi, one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people and founder of the field of neurogenetics, about the influence we have over our genetic activity, how our lifestyle impacts our wellbeing on the level of our DNA, how to keep our brains and bodies young and healthy, the relationship between spirituality and science, the power of mindful thinking, and so much more! &nbsp;</p><p>Read the blog here:&nbsp;https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/how-to-use-your-thoughts-to-influence-your-gene-expression-for-now-and-future-generations-the-five-most-widespread-myths-about-the-brain-that-may-be-limiting-your-potential-with-dr-rudolph-tanzi</p><p>For more info on Dr. Tanzi and to get his books visit: https://www.madrc.org/members/10924 &nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>***Special offers from our sponsors*** &nbsp;</p><p>-Ritual (my favorite multivitamin!

<p>Register for my 2020 Virtual Mental Health Solutions Summit here:https://www.drleafconference.com &nbsp;**Early bird tickets end October 15 &nbsp;</p><p>Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s can be incredibly frightening. The idea of losing your mind, the very thing that makes you human, is a scary thing, especially since it seems to happen more these days than ever before, and at a younger age. There is so much we don’t know about why this happens, or why Alzheimer’s is the 3rd leading causing of death in USA today. Brain diseases and cognitive decline are the last frontier: it is the area where we have been the least successful in science and medicine.&nbsp;</p><p>But there is reason to hope! In this podcast, I speak with bestselling author and intentionally recognised neurodegenerative diseases expert Dr. Dale Bredesen about preventing and heal neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, why we have misunderstood the true nature of cognitive decline, how to keep our brains young and healthy, and more! &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Dr. Bredesen's social media: &nbsp;drbredesen.com&nbsp;</p><p>Twitter - &nbsp;@DrDaleBredesen&nbsp;</p><p>Facebook - @drdalebredesen&nbsp;</p><p>Instagram - drdalebredesen &nbsp;</p><p>For more info on Apollo Health:&nbsp;</p><p>Twitter - @ApolloHealthCo&nbsp;</p><p>Facebook - @apollohealthco&nbsp;</p><p>Instagram - apollohealthco &nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Read the show blog here: &nbsp;https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/title-2</p><p><br></p><p>**Special offers from this episode's sponsors: &nbsp;</p><p>-Feals CBD (the best CBD out there!): To get 50% off your Feals CBD order and free shipping see https://feals.com/drleaf. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>-BLUblox (the best glasses to reduce your exposure to harmful blue and green light): To get 15% off your BLUblox glasses use the code LEAF15 at checkout: https://BLUblox.com/drleaf &nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Podcast Highlights</p><p><strong>4:04</strong> How we can prevent &amp; reverse neurodegenerative diseases</p><p><strong>7:00</strong> Why we have been looking at Alzheimer’s from the wrong perspective</p><p><strong>9:05</strong> The truth about Alzheimer’s</p><p><strong>19:40</strong> Stress and neurodegenerative diseases</p><p><strong>23:44</strong> The different types of Alzheimer’s</p><p><strong>42:00</strong> How the science and medicine of Alzheimer’s is changing</p><p><strong>49:10</strong> How to treat neurodegenerative diseases</p><p><strong>59:40</strong> The importance of DHEA for brain health</p><p><strong>1:06:01</strong> Statins and brain health</p><p><br></p><p>Additional Resources:&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;Sign up to join my free text program and receive mental health care tips and strategies, exclusive offers and more!

In this podcast, I speak with UCLA-trained neuroscientist, top performance coach and founder of The Peak Brain Institute Dr. Andrew Hill about what brain scans an tell us about our brain, the role they play in neurofeedback therapy, how neurofeedback and brain scans can boost our performance and help treat depression, anxiety, addiction and PTSD, the myth of the normal brain, how to biohack sleep, and so much more! &nbsp;</p><p>For more info on Dr. Andrew &amp; his clinic visit: http://peakbraininstitute.com/&nbsp;</p><p>Twitter: @PeakBrainLA Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PeakBrainInstitute&nbsp;</p><p>Instagram: @PeakBrainLA&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Read the show blog here: &nbsp;https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/how-neurofeedback-can-help-treat-depression-anxiety-addiction-amp-ptsd-interview-with-dr-andrew-hill</p><p><br></p><p>**Special offers from this episode's sponsors:**&nbsp;</p><p>-HIYA HEALTH (the best children's multivitamin!): Receive 50% off your first order.

What to do when wellness trends are harming, no...
<p>The wellness world can be overwhelming. There is so much advice out there, much of which is conflicting, that it is sometimes hard to know what to do or even who to believe. It can also affect our mental health, making us feel guilty if something that promises to “change your life forever” doesn’t work for us, or if we fail to do all 700 things we need to do each day to be healthy. In this podcast, I speak with successful entrepreneur and founder of the global wellness platform <a href="https://www.mindbodygreen.com/">MindBodyGreen</a> Jason Wachob about this wellness paradox, the current state of wellness industry, how to avoid wellness fads and trends, how to navigate the wellness industry so it helps, not harms, your mental health, the importance of being open-minded and curious, the best wellness advice from top experts, how to run a successful business and more!</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>For more info on Jason and mindbodygreen visit: https://www.mindbodygreen.com &nbsp;</p><p>Read the show blog here: https://drleaf.com/blogs/news/are-wellness-trends-harming-your-mental-health-the-mental-health-benefits-of-being-open-minded-amp-curious</p><p><br></p><p>**Pre-order my new mental self-care tips book here: https://drleaf.com/collections/all/products/101-ways-to-be-less-stressed**</p><p><br></p><p>Special offers from this episode's sponsors:&nbsp;</p><p>-Get 10% off your order of BiOptimizer's Magnesium Breakthrough at https://bioptimizers.com/drleaf.

<p>Suicide is a public health crisis with approximately 800,000 people dying by suicide each year. It is the 10th leading cause of deaths in the US and the 2nd leading cause of death globally.&nbsp;</p><p>We all struggle with challenges in life, and find different ways to deal with and overcome these challenges. But what happens when our ability to cope turns toxic? What happens when our desire to survive ends up hurting us?
