Medical education is changing, but not in a good way. What happens when future doctors are trained to follow protocols instead of thinking critically? What if the most important things doctors should learn are the very things being removed from the medical curriculum?In this episode, I interview Harvard-trained physician Dr. Josh Helman to share what he recently saw firsthand at medical school reunions and why it deeply concerns him. We talk about the gradual removal of hands-on anatomy training, the erosion of deep biochemistry education, and how rushed programs are producing physicians who lack the depth needed to solve complex health problems.We also explore how standard-of-care medicine, insurance pressures, and pharmaceutical funding shape clinical decisions and why lifestyle, nutrition, and prevention are often ignored despite overwhelming evidence. This conversation challenges the assumption that newer medical training is automatically better and explains why experience, curiosity, and continuous learning matter more than ever.If you want to understand how medicine really works and how to advocate for better care, listen to this episode.Podcast Sponsors:- Brain Power Clinics: www.BrainPowerClinics.com - https://brainpowerclinics.com/- Creatine - https://roarlionsmane.net/creatine - Use Code LOVEPODCAST for free shipping- NMN with TMG and B-Vitamins - https://robertlovestore.com/products/nmn - Use Code LOVEPODCAST for free shipping“Neurologists are experts at coming up with neurologic diagnoses...

Exercise has long been associated with injury and burnout because most people think it is all about reps, calories, or checking a box. But what if that mindset is limiting your brain, your nervous system, and your longevity?In this episode, I interview movement teacher and practitioner Ido Portal to challenge everything we’ve been taught about exercise. We explore why movement complexity, not workouts, is better for brain health, injury prevention, and healthy aging. Ido explains how the nervous system evolved for complex movement, why repetitive exercise causes injury and burnout, and how learning new movement patterns can rewire the brain.We also dive into practical examples like rock climbing, dance, racket sports, and playful movement, and why these outperform traditional workouts for cognitive resilience.This conversation completely reframed how I think about training the brain through the body.

If you think you understand why people do what they do, you’re probably wrong. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Robert Sapolsky, a legendary neuroscientist, primatologist, and bestselling author. We explore one of the most controversial questions in science: Do we truly possess free will? Dr. Sapolsky breaks down decades of research on the brain, stress, and behavior to reveal how much of who we are is determined by biology and environment.We discuss why humans evolved to lie, what makes aggression unique to our species, and why the hippocampus, the brain’s memory center, is a key hub for stress and aging. Dr. Sapolsky also explains how neurogenesis (the birth of new brain cells) actually happens, and why lifestyle factors like exercise, sleep, and diet directly affect it.You’ll hear his take on why judgment and blame make little sense once you understand the brain, and how embracing this truth can make us more empathetic and less punitive as a society. This is a profound, mind-expanding conversation that redefines what it means to be human and how understanding our biology can make us better individuals.Podcast Sponsors:-Brain Power Clinics: www.BrainPowerClinics.com - https://brainpowerclinics.com/-Roar Lion's Mane: https://roarlionsmane.net/“You've got to be really careful before you judge someone especially harshly, because you almost certainly don't know how they wound up being the person they are.” ~ Dr. Robert SapolskyIn this Episode:- The story of human aggression- Understanding what happens in the brain during stress - Do we really have free will?- Why compassion matters more than judgment- The hippocampus, stress, and memory- Neurogenesis: how we grow new brain cells- The pioneers of brain science who were ignored- Brain injury, behavior, and criminal justice reform- How to raise healthy, resilient childrenResource-Determined: A Science of Life without Free Will by Dr. Robert Sapolsky - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0525560971Connect with Dr. Robert Sapolsky:🌐Website - https://profiles.stanford.edu/robert-sapolsky📷 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/robert.sapolsky/Connect with Robert Love:🌐Website - https://roarlionsmane.net/📷 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/robertwblove/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/discover/robert-love-lions-mane▶️YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@RobertWBLoveDisclaimer: This podcast is intended for informational purposes only and should not be considered medical advice.
