27 APR 2018 · Dr. Melissa discusses the science behind addiction and how processed food with high sugar, fat and salt hijacks our pleasure reward center to control our behavior. The group tried to cut processed food out of their diet for a week and discussed how difficult it was to navigate current food options without exposure to processed food. Dr Santilli reviews the consequences to our health such as heart disease and cancer from an unhealthy diet shared in a talk by Dr. Peeke, who also looks into the studies of epigenetics and how behavior can modify gene expression. They discuss an example of Betty Lou Sweeny who lost 115lbs at the age of 73 and held the Guinness world record for the longest abdominal plank at 36 minutes. Sweeny achieved this by overcoming addictions to food and making her life healthier. Hopefully this topic inspires you to realize, you are what you eat and the real wealth is health.
20 APR 2018 · Psychologist Dr. Arthur Aron came up with 36 questions that help to promote mental intimacy. The questions are designed to be personal and break down barriers to foster closeness.
