How To Improve Focus And Attention

How To Improve Focus And Attention | This episode is brought to you
by Athletic Greens Preserving, supporting, and strengthening brain
function is crucial to aging optimally. While we once thought that
declining brain function was a given as you get older, we now know
that our brains have the ability to change structure and function
all throughout our lives. Our diets and quality of sleep are
crucial for a well-functioning brain but so is our ability to
harness focus and attention. In this mini-episode Dr. Hyman speaks
to Dr. Andrew Huberman about enhancing neuroplasticity to support
learning, memory, alertness, and attention. He also speaks with Jim
Kwik about the science of learning how to learn. Dr. Andrew
Huberman is a neuroscientist and tenured Professor in the
Department of Neurobiology at the Stanford University School of
Medicine. He has made numerous important contributions to the
fields of brain development, brain function, and neural plasticity,
which is the ability of our nervous system to rewire and learn new
behaviors, skills, and cognitive functioning. Dr. Huberman is a
McKnight Foundation and Pew Foundation Fellow and was awarded the
Cogan Award in 2017, which is given to the scientist making the
largest discoveries in the study of vision. His lab’s most recent
work focuses on the influence of vision and respiration on human
performance and brain states such as fear and courage. Work from
the Huberman Laboratory at Stanford University School of Medicine
has been published in top journals including Nature, Science, and
Cell and has been featured in TIME, BBC, Scientific American,
Discover, and other top media outlets. Jim Kwik is the founder of
Kwik Learning and a widely recognized world expert in
speed-reading, memory improvement, brain performance, and
accelerated learning. For over two decades he has served as the
brain coach to many of the world’s leading C-suite executives and
celebrities. After a childhood brain injury left him
learning-challenged, Jim created strategies to dramatically enhance
his mental performance. He has since dedicated his life to helping
others unleash their true brainpower to learn faster and perform
smarter. His recent book, Limitless, provides the keys to
accelerated learning and endless potential.  This episode is
