This week, I am joined by Ben Bruno—a Los Angeles–based trainer whose client roster ranges from professional athletes to musicians, actors and models. Known for his no-nonsense approach, Ben believes that while every person is different, the principles of good training remain the same: simple, consistent, and effective work tailored to the individual. In this conversation, Ben cuts through the noise of social media fitness trends and breaks down what really works for building strength, staying mobile, and aging well. With nearly two decades of experience, he’s trained stars like Jessica Biel and Chelsea Handler, yet his message applies to anyone with a goal, a positive attitude, and the willingness to work hard. In this episode, Ben Bruno shares why consistency and the basics always outperform flashy trends, and how real-world training differs from what we see online. He breaks down the three pillars of longevity—strength, mobility, and conditioning—explains why full-body workouts often work best, and highlights the key exercises everyone should master. Ben also dives into how women can stay strong and confident into midlife, the dangers of comparison culture, and why sustainable, smart training beats gimmicks every time. *** Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for more conversations at the intersection of brain science and performance.

In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, I sit down with the founders of WeNatal, a company redefining preconception health for both women and men. Together, we dive into the overlooked science of Trimester Zero—the 3 - 4 months before trying to conceive—and why this time frame can be a game-changer for both natural conception and IVF outcomes. This episode breaks down the science, dispels myths, and provides tangible, realistic steps you can take to optimize your fertility—without the stress of perfectionism. We also unpack why the conversation around fertility needs to shift from being a “women’s health” issue to a team sport. About the WeNatal Founders: After experiencing miscarriages just a week apart, best friends Vida and Ronit were left devastated and searching for answers. Despite being healthy and on prenatal vitamins, doctors dismissed their losses as “random” or “age-related.” Digging deeper, they discovered a missing piece in fertility care: men’s health. Determined to change that, they partnered with experts, pored over research, and created a science-backed prenatal system for both women and men. What began as a personal mission has grown into WeNatal—a movement giving couples the knowledge, tools, and products to support conception, pregnancy, and the lifelong health of future generations. *** Get a free month of WeNatal’s Rest + Digest magnesium when you subscribe today at wenatal.com/neuroexperience *** Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for more conversations at the intersection of brain science and performance.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Rupy Aujla, an NHS GP and the founder of The Doctor’s Kitchen, an app that includes doctor-approved recipes to cook at home. In this conversation, we dive into why cardiovascular disease remains the #1 killer worldwide, the connection between cholesterol and heart health, how fiber acts as a “magical nutrient” for the body, how to introduce it into your daily meals, and the role of lifestyle choices in preventing illness and supporting long-term brain and heart health. *** About Dr. Rupy Aujla: After suffering a significant heart condition, he dove deep into the science of nutritional medicine and was able to reverse his condition through food and lifestyle. In 2015, he launched The Doctor’s Kitchen as a way to teach people how to cook their way to better health and to showcase the medicinal effects of eating well. The incredible “Doctor’s Kitchen” cooking app has over 1000 delicious, science-backed recipes and 20 brand new ones added each month. There’s also a handy meal planner that will personalise recipes based on your preferences. It actually suggested a delicious looking salmon poached in harissa coconut sauce, and olive and date braised chicken, which suit my personal dietary needs and all sound great.

In this eye-opening episode, I am joined by renowned olive oil expert Dr. Rod Mailer to uncover the shocking truths behind one of the most misunderstood ingredients in our kitchens: olive oil. Together, we explore the science, sourcing, and scandals behind olive oil—what it really means when a bottle says “extra virgin,” how processing and storage impact its quality, and why so much of what we buy may not be what it claims to be. We also dive into the science of why seed oils—like canola, soybean, and sunflower—pose serious health risks, and how they’ve infiltrated modern diets to a dangerous degree. Whether you’re a health-conscious consumer or just want to know what’s actually in your food, this episode will change the way you think about fat. About Dr. Rod Mailer: Dr. Rodney Mailer is a leading expert in olive oil quality and production, instrumental in developing Australia’s olive oil industry. He founded and led the Australian Oils Research Laboratory and has worked globally to combat adulteration and ensure authenticity in extra virgin olive oil.

Can something really predict how long you'll live—better than your genes? In this eye-opening conversation, I sit down with best-selling author and researcher Shawn Stevenson to reveal the real missing piece in the longevity puzzle — one that researchers say outranks exercise, diet, and even quitting smoking. Drawing from a massive meta-analysis of 300,000+ people, plus insights from Harvard’s 80-year longitudinal study, Shawn explains why the quality of your relationships is the #1 predictor of how long you’ll live — and why “warm social bonds” literally shape your biology, behaviors, and health outcomes.

I'm excited to share my conversation with Stuart Phillips, where we dive deep into muscle building science - a topic that generates endless debate on social media. As someone who struggles with gaining muscle despite consistent training, I was shocked when Dr. Christopher Gardner told me muscle growth is "10% nutrition and 90% exercise." This contradicted everything I thought I knew, so I had to bring in Stu - widely considered the foremost expert on muscle development - to separate fact from fiction. The most fascinating insight for me was discovering that effective muscle building can happen across a wide range of repetition schemes - from as low as 3 reps to as high as 25 reps per set. This challenges the rigid "strength/hypertrophy/endurance" continuum that's dominated fitness advice for decades.

In this conversation with Dr. Christopher Gardner, we challenge what might be one of nutrition science's most pervasive myths—that we need massive amounts of protein to build muscle and maintain health. You might recognize Dr. Gardner from the popular Netflix docuseries featuring his groundbreaking identical twin study, where he explored how different diets affect our bodies. We talk about the evidence behind protein requirements, diet quality versus macronutrient ratios, and a framework for sustainable eating that prioritizes both nutrition and taste. We also discuss his DIETFIT study and SWAP-MEAT trial, which challenge conventional wisdom about weight loss diets and plant-based alternatives. The most fascinating insight for me was learning that muscle growth depends approximately 90% on workout stimulus and less than 10% on protein intake, completely contradicting the protein-obsessed fitness culture we're immersed in. Dr. Gardner's research shows the average American already consumes 1.2g/kg of protein daily without trying (well above the RDA), while the original nitrogen balance studies found something entirely different. We also get into the controversy surrounding the Netflix twin study that garnered significant attention—and criticism. Dr. Gardner reveals the behind-the-scenes reality of what actually happened with the muscle mass measurements that appeared in the documentary versus his published research, and why the allegations of data manipulation couldn't be further from the truth. If you're interested in evidence-based nutrition that cuts through industry hype, this conversation provides scientific clarity and actionable strategies that might change how you think about protein and diet quality.

I'm committed to bringing you insights that transform how we approach health based on science, not marketing.

I'm excited to share my conversation with Dr. Scott Sherr, where we dive deep into methylene blue - a compound you've probably seen all over social media lately (those blue tongues!). As someone whose primary research focuses on Alzheimer's disease, I was fascinated to explore the science behind this molecule that dates back to the 1870s and was actually the first drug registered with the FDA in 1897. The most fascinating insight for me was learning how methylene blue can serve as an electron acceptor in our mitochondria - essentially functioning as a substitute for oxygen when our cells are under stress. This explains why it shows promise for everything from traumatic brain injury to cognitive enhancement and even as a potential alternative to stimulant medications. If you're interested in optimizing brain performance, understanding mitochondrial health, or simply curious about this blue compound that's suddenly everywhere, this episode provides both the scientific foundation and practical applications you need.

Alzheimer’s doesn’t just “happen” later in life—it’s a slow, silent process that can begin decades before symptoms appear. In this solo episode, we challenge the myth that Alzheimer’s is purely genetic, and break down what the science really says about your risk. I explore the role of the APOE4 gene, how it interacts with lifestyle and metabolic health, and why women—especially during and after menopause—may face a unique vulnerability. Most importantly, I introduce three cutting-edge blood tests that can detect the earliest signs of Alzheimer’s, long before memory loss sets in. We’ll also talk prevention: from blood sugar and insulin resistance to inflammation, hormone balance, and brain energy metabolism—everything you can start doing right now to safeguard your cognitive future. This is more than a conversation about Alzheimer’s—it’s a roadmap for taking control of your brain health. SponsorsA huge thank you to my sponsors for supporting this episode.

Imagine being at the forefront of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s research, holding hope for millions of patients. That’s where Eliezer Masliah stood—a top neuroscientist and key figure at the National Institute on Aging (NIA), responsible for overseeing billions in funding intended to push groundbreaking research on these devastating diseases forward. But things weren’t as they seemed. Recent investigations, including one published in Science (Vol 385, Issue 6716), have raised alarming questions about Masliah’s research. Over 100 of his studies may contain falsified data, including duplicated or manipulated images, claiming to reveal critical insights into how Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s impact the brain. If this sounds eerily familiar, you’re right. Just two years ago, another scandal rocked the Alzheimer’s research world. Sylvain Lesné's 2006 Nature paper was considered a landmark in Alzheimer’s research—until 2022, when it was revealed that the paper was tainted by manipulated data. That revelation sent shockwaves through the scientific community, throwing years of research and drug development into doubt. And now, we're facing a similar situation again. The implications of these new allegations against Masliah are massive. His work has shaped entire fields of study, influencing experimental treatments like the Parkinson’s drug prasinezumab. But with these revelations, years of research and billions of dollars in funding hang in the balance. What’s most heartbreaking? Real people—those battling Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s—are caught in the middle of this scandal. They've been placing their hopes in breakthroughs, trusting science to provide answers and relief. If the very research supporting their treatments is compromised, the cost isn't just in lost time and money—it's a betrayal of the trust placed in the system by millions of patients and their families. We have to demand better. Science, and the people depending on it, deserve better.
