Healthy brains: the neurotechnology of personal change, with Dr Nolan Beise (S13E10)

Show Notes

Tap to send me your reflections ♡

Today I'm in conversation with Dr Nolan Beise. We're discussing the potential of advanced neurotechnology to improve brain health and well-being.

Yes. That. It's a big topic. And a wonderful episode to close this season.

You'll hear that Nolan weaves the science with profound compassion, beginning with his reflections on how his younger self struggled to navigate the world.

He shares powerful statistics, research and evidence on the way our brains work - and how so many of us are not (yet) optimising the full capacity of our brain function.

We discuss... 

• The importance of understanding brain function to prevent brain health issues
• Our shared personal experiences with burnout
• The technology Nolan has developed to help people understand their brains better
• The intersections of personal growth, mindfulness, compassion and wisdom in how we maximise our opportunity for supporting a healthy brain
• The importance of rest, self-knowledge and supporting oneself and others in developing our brain health

If you're curious about how your brain works, and how you could improve your brain health... have a listen.

There is a short period where the signal between the UK and Canada went a little wobbly - rather than edit it out, I've chosen to keep it in as I think what Nolan was sharing was important. Hopefully it won't disrupt you too much as you listen.

What is the Henny Flynn podcast?

A space to settle in and listen, and see where the episode takes you. This inspiring, reflective podcast is an invitation to travel deeper, with compassionate self-enquiry.

Henny shares insights from her own life, alongside practices that help us connect with our inner wisdom, explore our relationship with change and find a greater sense of flow. Henny believes we all hold our own answers, so there are no one-size-fits-all solutions here. This is a space to be with what’s true for you, and to grow from there.

If you’re drawn to slowing down, listening in, and exploring what it means to live with greater authenticity, this podcast is for you. Guided by psychology, mindfulness, therapeutic coaching, flow journaling, and everyday compassion, we explore ideas that help us step further into our inner worlds, in order to shape the changes we seek in our outer worlds.
