Hello, I am 12 years old and I have wanted to be a neurosurgeon since forever. Thank you so much for uploading this podcast since, it provided me a larger perspective of this filed. Thank you!

This is an incredible video!! It’s amazing how Ali always lets his talkers speak and never interrupts them, allowing for so much information to flow. And then redirecting to such good questions that go deeper. The amount of detail with which Ali rephrases and retains the information she brings is just remarkable and makes this interview just so good! Absolutely loving this!

Omg. The introduction to this video was a master class on how to convey a thought! This woman is brilliant at conveying scientific concepts!

My question is about how this applies for people who did not receive the intellectual stimulation and emotional care they needed during childhood to support learning and develop some foundational skills in areas that could later become their "superpower" skills. For someone who was raised on junk entertainment and junk food, that person is not going to have any "A" grade subject or skill. They'll have some relative strengths compared to their weaknesses, but even their strengths will be at the bottom of the barrel in a norm-based assessment or study. If they reach adulthood and decide they want to excel at something, they don't have any foundations to start from because their childhood and teen years were spent myelinating neural pathways to be really good at watching Tik-Tok, eating junk food, and that's it. I'd love to hear an interview addressing the best approach for someone in such a situation who is starting from the very bottom, practically illiterate, with no capacity for any cognitive load, addicted to Tik-Tok and junk, for whom any valuable skill or habit is going to require neurogenesis. I've observed far too many kids and teens on that path and it's sad to think of what an unfulfilling adulthood they will have.

I’ve been listening to all interviews with Tara Swart and she’s fantastic… The only issue I have is it seems like you have to be 100% perfect (eating healthily, exercising, meditating , sleeping 7-9 hours a day and so forth) to achieve your goals which kind of sounds pretty stressful to begin with for somebody like, I assume most of us, don’t comply with those requirements…

I’m so happy that there was an avoidance of the term “woo woo” when referring to spiritual practices. It’s such a limited vision of the world. I don’t believe it’s productive building a skeptical approach to the spiritual aspects of all humans. Thank you so much for all the informative-packed useful concepts. Two wonderful people sharing critical knowledge in a friendly environment ❤❤❤

Thank you for not interrupting her and actually listening. 🙏. So many channels interrupt their guests rather than writing down their questions that come up to ask them after. I find it rude what they interrupt just to have answers.

By far one of the best podcasts I have ever seen. So much insight, so much to gain from and apply in real life...

Thank you for bringing her to deep dive. This Podcast is getting to change my perspective about life.

I am a new subscriber. This is the best video I have seen on YT period. I am a 75 yo retired nurse and I found this fascinating! Thank you.

This is my favorite of all the guests you've had so far. Great episode! 😊

Eat for your brain. Love it. I love this lady so much. So wise. She’s also so easy to listen to, the way she explains things makes it so easy to understand.

The orange wall and the wooden seat! Priceless!

I love what you are saying. And I have heard these things before. Where I get caught up is that every time, I read a book or hear a podcast or watch You tube videos is this. The people who give out this advice are usually well educated to begin with. They start out with a foundation of either education or money or something very supportive. But when you come from poverty, or you come from a lower middle-class family, and you don’t have a degree beyond high school – dreaming for a house or starting a business or anything of that nature – that I hear in these talks – it becomes even a bigger barrier to where you want to go. Also, if your race, nationality is looked upon as less than as so many of my family it’s a uphill climb. So even though I get the mindset and the talks you need to give yourself. I always come back to the fact that my family could not move into a particular neighborhood because they were not White. Or job promotions were unheard of. Even though my father had his own business and at one time my mother again it was seasonal work. My mom worked for the city until she decided to take a few years off and then my father was in a head on collision accident in which he died 2 years later. So, I am a very spiritual person a Buddhist. But as some point making a vision board about getting a better low rent apartment much less renting a house is not reality for me. I practice Radical acceptance everyday but its not going to take me out of my middle class living in a rat-infested building - high rent lifestyle. I will never move to the suburbs that is for White or Professional people. Great advise if you are making 6 figures a year. The rent in my neck of the woods for a decent place to live is about $2500 to $3000 a month. I can’t live giving all my money to the landlord

I was raised in nature. Village in Poland. And I have just realised the reasons behind me becomig soooo exhausted in any type of shopping center. Its a big area (so that's cool. Bc I know big open areas from childhood. Neverending fields). And these open spaces are completely stuffed with shelves and goods for sale, full of details (which is completely disturbing my neuro memory systems). Big open space in my neuro pathways are supposed to be empty or at least very free-stream. And these shopping centers are no way a peaceful-for-the-eye areas.

Thanks Ali! This is one of the best episodes I have very heard - listened twice to make sure I got every tidbit! Kudos on how you have merged science, medicine, and life!

I love how Ali is asking good questions even though he probably already knows the answers, good interviewing skills from Ali

Ali's voice is too beautiful in the ear that i forget to listen to what he's saying when i hear his voice.

Tara and Ali! What a beautiful and amazing combination. Tara is a truly amazing lady. Truly an amazing, compassionate and caring soul. Respect and thank you so, so much!
