Unf*ck Your Brain

Eat To Live

The science behind healthy eating has never been simpler. Dr. Joel Fuhrman, M.D. is a board-certified physician, New York Times best-selling author, and world renowned expert on nutrition. He coined the term “Nutritarian” to describe his method of nutrient-dense eating that is designed to prevent certain diseases, slow the aging process, and extend your life.

His new podcast “Eat to Live” expands on topics he has already written about, steering you away from gimmicks and giving you excellent food choices. The good doctor is here for a long time and a good time.

Good Sex

Sex is exercise, right? And truthfully, there’s no such thing as too much sex education. There is no way that sex ed in high school gave us enough information, and “Good Sex” is determined to fill in all of the gaps. “Good Sex” covers a variety of sexual discourse in just about 10-minute episodes, from sex-experts and laypeople alike! 

Determined to answer all the questions you’ve never had the guts to ask, “Good Sex” is here to ensure you actually have great sex.

Ten Percent Happier with Dan Harris

When ABC News anchor Dan Harris had a panic attack live on Good Morning America, he knew it was time to make a change. It led him to meditation, a practice he had always considered ridiculous before actually trying it. After the success of his book, 10% Happier, Harris started his podcast to dive deeper into meditative practices. His guests range from legendary meditation teachers (the Dalai Lama anyone?), to scientists and celebrities. 

The show goes beyond just meditation, though, exploring the scientific basis of social anxiety, bias, creativity, productivity and relationships. He discovers that the mind is a muscle that must be trained and that calmness, compassion, and happiness are skills that we must learn.

Maintenance Phase

“Maintenance Phase” is committed to debunking health fads and nonsensical nutrition advice. They take on heavy hitters like Weight Watchers, The Biggest Loser, and even Oprah Winfrey to tell you what is real and what’s a total scam. Learn about the cultural impact of some of the weirdest (and worst) wellness fads that wreaked havoc on America with “Maintenance Phase”.
