Did you know that stress is contagious? Or that looking into someone's left eye can instantly trick their brain into trusting you?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tara Swart, a world-renowned neuroscientist, medical doctor, and best-selling author. We dive deep into the hidden power of the human brain, exploring how your thoughts can physically change your body—from growing muscle mass just by visualizing it, to why chronic stress is the hidden cause of belly fat.

Dr. Swart reveals the biological secrets to high performance, how to "rewire" your brain after age 25, and the specific body language hacks that release oxytocin to build deeper connections instantly.
