🧠Brain Upgrade: Lifestyle Choices for Accelerated Learning

• Angela Shurina • Season 2025

TUNE IN TO LEARN:  

Your brain physically reshapes itself every single day—but are you giving it what it needs to evolve in the right direction? 

Neuroplasticity, your brain's remarkable ability to remodel itself in response to experiences, doesn't happen automatically. It requires specific conditions that many of us unknowingly sabotage through our daily habits. 

Drawing from fascinating research with London taxi drivers whose brains physically grew larger in memory regions, this episode reveals the 4 lifestyle pillars that maximize your brain's ability to learn, adapt, and evolve. These aren't just theoretical concepts—they're practical strategies backed by neuroscience that can dramatically accelerate your personal growth. 

Whether you're struggling with learning new job skills, seeking to break old habits, or simply wanting to optimize your cognitive performance, these four foundations form the cornerstone of effective brain change.  

By implementing these science-backed strategies, you'll enhance not just what you know, but who you become.
