We're glad you asked! Be sure to tune in to SZ 156: The Brain, Explained (Take 2) Ft. Kevin, Cindy, & Dr. Sarkis and join us for a deep dive into the mind with three brilliant experts, each exploring the brain from a unique perspective: Kevin Blakley | Creativity & Neural Networks Kevin unpacks the science of creativity—how breaking expected thought pathways leads to innovation, why artists often walk the line between genius and mania, and how overstimulation stifles our best ideas. Learn how to "cross-train" your brain to generate insights and enter flow states. Cindy Reynolds | Brain Mapping & Neuroplasticity As the founder of NeuroFit, now merged with Jyzen, Cindy shares how brain mapping and EEG data uncover cognitive patterns, past injuries, and areas of dysregulation. Through targeted neurotech, she demonstrates how rewiring the brain can enhance mental clarity and performance in just 20 sessions. Dr. Arbella Sarkis | Brain Health & Regenerative Medicine A pioneer in brain health, Dr. Sarkis reveals groundbreaking insights into neurodegenerative prevention, including FDA-approved TB006 for compassionate care. She discusses the hidden risks of modern living—how plastics, statins, and isolation contribute to cognitive decline—and what we can do to protect and enhance brain function.
