Your brain has two hemispheres, and they don't always agree. This week, we dive into The Master and His Emissary by Iain McGilchrist, breaking down what the left and right brain are actually doing, why they're in conflict, and what that means for how we think, feel, and live.

We cover the Nietzsche parable at the heart of the book, the left hemisphere's overconfidence problem, how language shapes (and limits) our perception, and why too much analytical thinking can make life feel hollow.

We also connect the neuroscience to everything we've explored on this podcast, from The Untethered Soul to Good Energy, and why this book might be the thread that ties it all together.

Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!

In this episode of Learning To Live we're pulling back the curtain on our full blood work results and using them to build the most ambitious diet we've ever attempted, inspired by Casey Means' Good Energy.

We break down our entire dieting history, what worked, what didn't, and why we kept falling off. Then we go through 15 key biomarkers from our extensive Function Health blood test, score ourselves on Casey Means' 8-category health quiz, and lay out the complete diet overhaul we're committing to. Thanks for listening, hope you enjoy!
