In today’s 2-part episode we’re digging into the real cause for depression and exploring how psychedelics and magnetic transcranial magnetic stimulation are helping to solve this problem? If anxiety and depression have become one of your biggest roadblocks and challenges stay tuned, this conversation is aimed at helping you find ways to rewire your brain and get back to chasing fulfillment. This episode with neuroscience expert, Nolan Williams, is an eye opening crash course for discovering what’s possible with psilocybin and MDMA, breaking down psychiatry 3.0 and understanding what mental health is and how depression has become one of the four leading health factors that significantly increases the risks for heart attack. NOLAN WILLIAMS QUOTES: “Depression is now one of the four leading risk factors for having a heart attack.” “You can have physical things that happen in the heart from things that happen in the brain.” “I’m a very agnostic tool builder. I really don’t care what the social perception of the tool is, [...] if it’s safe for the patient, and it’s acceptable for the patient, and it’s something I would suggest to my mother, brother, or spouse, and the risk benefit is right, then we’ll look at it.” Follow Nolan Williams: Website: https://bsl.stanford.edu/   Twitter: https://twitter.com/NolanRyWilliams  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stanford_bsl/  SPONSORS: elizabeth@advertisepurple.com ***Are You Ready for EXTRA Impact?*** If you’re ready to find true fulfillment, strengthen your focus, and ignite your true potential, the Impact Theory subscription was created just for you.

Limiting beliefs are the disempowering stories you tell yourself about why this is harder for you or that’s impossible for someone like you. Often they stem from childhood experiences and get carried into our adult years. The problem is when you hold onto these stories as if they were fact. Tom has spent years learning and trying out personal rules, beliefs and systems that have allowed him to become the ultra-successful entrepreneur he is today. If success is something you desire and becoming a better version of yourself is a priority, you have to address your limiting beliefs. While Tom doesn’t believe you have to seek out every single limiting belief to overcome it, you do need to get new beliefs and systems in place that will be more empowering than the narrative you’ve been listening to. Get your belief structure together and your behaviors will follow suit.

On Today's Episode: If you’ve ever felt depressed over where you are in life, experienced the embarrassment of getting fired, been frustrated over student loan debts and bills you can’t afford to pay, then you’re in the right place for a reality check. Your circumstances are a direct reflection of the decisions you’ve made until this point. It doesn’t matter that things never go your way. It doesn’t matter that every time you try to step up you get overlooked. The only thing that matters is that you’re willing to be honest with yourself about where you are and that you’re ready to turn your life around and take total ownership of your life. Every success and every failure is 100% yours if you get unstuck and become unstoppable. Tom Bilyeu went from being broken, scared, and insecure to becoming confident enough to develop his leadership skills and earn massive respect. The lesson for you right now is to stop giving your control away and start owning your sh*t!

When you hear the word “neuroplasticity,” you probably think of it in terms of a young brain’s ability to learn or an older brain’s struggles to rebound from injury. The possibility of a neuroplasticity-boosting drug remains one of medicine's true holy grails, but is there a dark side? Robert Lamb and Joe McCormick discuss the balance of plasticity and stability in the human mind.
