    I've been a drummer for over 50 years and also a trained musician. I find that the combination of using all four limbs, plus fingers, and the cognitive demands have kept me sharp and vital into my seventies.
  • @TheZGALa
    I love the phrase "as we get less young". Thanks for another thought provoking talk!
  • @avopeac6300
    As someone with both OCD and depression, this reflects my experience so far. I saw improvements when I started to focus on emotions rather than instinctively intellectualizing constantly.
  • @psyberlinks
    I’ve been on keto and intermittent fasting for the past 6 months. I’ve lost the extra 30 pounds that I’d gained from being in a wheelchair with a shattered leg last year. And the bonus was clear thinking, more happiness, and feeling better overall.

    He looks like a gorgeous genius supervillain.

    You don’t need to swear Tom I seen the surprise in the doctors face ,you don’t need to swear it seemed shocking there’s an art to that 😩

    Tom. My brother shot himself 8 years ago. My dad felt guilty as ever and isisted we clean the mess up. My father insisted suicide was wrong and yet 5 years later he shot himself twice. I found him like that after months of begging him to go to rehab and not die. Your channel along with many other things has helped me find the light. Thanks
  • @jyotidahiya9022
    Dr Rahul is very highly intellectual person ..humble . Talk effortlessly
  • @estan247
    Powerful stuff right here! When the mind isn't strong, negative behaviors start to spring up. Having a positive mindset is everything.
  • @tonyhiggs5837
    Lovely mention of how we get 'less young' instead of the saying old.
  • @trueself520
    Tom, your message at the end struck home. It is 2:24 am, can't sleep worrying about my 25 year old daughter and the path she is headed down due to drugs. I listen to your motivational video in the morning while making coffee. It is sometimes the only thing I have to help me through the day. Never thought I would come to this point in my life of feeling so lost and hopeless.
  • @rGrizz
    So many people jump so quick on the negativity, so concerned about the “quality and professionalism” yet Tom’s show offers us so many great ideas from hundreds of beautifully gifted minds in this ever growing world. The irony is everyone ranting is training themselves to notice the negativity. Food for thought
  • This information is incredible! Just a note; on the F word! I use it as commas myself, but, Sincerely, it detracts ones attention away from this great interview, it's so out of context, & makes it difficult to share this important information to everyone it could benefit! ( I have 500+ friends on fb, many business associates that I do not speak freely arround - I shared it anyway!.) I needed to hear this right now! I deal with Hemiplegic Migraines, worsened by barametric pressure changes of monsoon season in the high desert, added to massive grief, & the numb depression that follows it , this interview was a Gift to me! I opened up You tube, & it was the first thing I saw! Spirit brings us exactly what we need! Thank You!
  • @bradferguson79
    This is probably the most tuned in I’ve been in a while! This was such an amazing interview ! You do a great job at bringing out the creativity of the person you’re interviewing. Thanks Tom and Rahul. By the way I’m most definitely diving into Rahul’s book Neuro Fitness
  • Fascinating! I’ve definitely noticed one thing for sure, I used to always feel behind in life, as if I couldn’t keep up with learning everything I needed to know fast enough. But my curiosity and interest in a wide variety of things was insatiable and the faster I learned more, the more I learned faster. It’s amazing to experience the brain rewiring itself and expanding, like a muscle tearing and then rebuilding itself to be better equipped to handle the jobs it’s given.
  • What a brilliant doctor. Thanks for having him on. It's so refreshing. WHAT IS NOT REFRESHING IS YUR CUSSING...... & how humble he is to overlook it..... Just stop tom. Have some respect for this brilliant doctor. Thank you both great interview.🙏🦋

    Wow, I love Dr. Jandial's compassion. I came here in search of finding out how to reverse childhood conditioning. My brother and I are in our 50s. We have always struggled with each other. We are currently in a good place with each other, but when old mindsets pop up, it is very painful for me, and I want to not be around him. We've been estranged on and off for years. And I know we love each other, but we are critical of each other and end up emotionally hurting each other, in spite of our efforts not to. He's not toxic. I'm not toxic. We love each other and don't want to manipulate each other for personal gain. Yet criticism prevails most of the time. We'll apologize, overcome wounds, and move on, only to wound each other again. Last week I was deeply grieving over this hurt, and am even worn out, and I was praying. It hit me. We've been conditioned. Both of us have had childhood trauma due to our parents. I have been on the mental health journey my entire life. But I could not figure out this mystery with my brother and me. Hearing Dr. Jandial mention the groove absolutely floored me. He has confirmed my revelation that my brother and I have been conditioned to be pitted against each other. We see each other through the lense our parents wanted us to see through. Just typing this gives me a strained chest. It's sickening and so very sad, and painful. Now. Now I can proceed with seeking help in this, and I am hopeful my brother will be interested. But at least I can pursue this. I am truly encouraged, and feel hope that we might finally overcome this hurtful relationship. I can definitely see that it's going to take work. But, we've limped along our whole lives the way we are. I am desperate to put the work in. Maybe if my brother sees a change in me, he'll jump on this too. But I'll worry about me for now. Again, I'm very, very encouraged to learn this. Thank you, Tom, for this excellent talk. I love y'all's channels and watch frequently.
