  • The Science of Healing Your Body with Your Mind | Dr Joe Dispenza

    The Science of Healing Your Body with Your Mind | Dr Joe Dispenza
    Apr 20 2026
    Dr Joe Dispenza drops a finding that most people are not ready for: a seven-day meditation retreat produces measurably greater healing than most pharmaceutical drugs, with 80% of participants expressing the same healing genes by the end. If you have ever tried to think positive and felt nothing shift, Dr Joe explains why that happens and what your body is actually doing instead. Most of us are unknowingly running 95% of our lives from subconscious programs rooted in the past, and our bodies quite literally cannot accept thoughts that contradict what they have already been conditioned to feel. The path forward is not more willpower or better affirmations. It is learning to match your thoughts with a new feeling so completely that your biology has no choice but to change.

  • Why Your "Healthy" Foods Are Making You Sick | Michael Pollan

    Why Your "Healthy" Foods Are Making You Sick | Michael Pollan
    Apr 17 2026
    Michael Pollan cuts through nutrition confusion and exposes the uncomfortable truth: ultra processed foods now make up more than 60% of the American diet, and they're engineered to manipulate your body and brain. Most foods you think are healthy, like plant-based burgers with 21 synthetic ingredients and diet sodas that trick your metabolism, are actually sabotaging your health and creating cravings that trap you in a cycle of poor eating. Your gut microbiome holds the key to everything from your weight to your mental health, and it's starving without the 30 different plants per week it needs to thrive. By understanding how food companies exploit your evolutionary instincts for sweetness and fat, you can reclaim control and use Pollan's seven-word mantra to make choices that honor both pleasure and nutrition. The transformation begins when you stop lying to your body about what you're eating and start thinking of food as medicine rather than entertainment.

    Apr 15 2026
    WARNING: This episode includes sensitive discussions that may be distressing for some listeners. If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available anytime by calling or texting the number 988. Most people see Dan Martell's highlight reel: the private jet, the millions, the AI mastery. But they don't know about the angry, ashamed teenager who felt worthless and unlovable, who attempted suicide and spent time in jail. In this episode, Lewis goes deep into Dan's journey from rock bottom to extraordinary success, unpacking the exact moment he decided not to take his own life and what shifted in his mind to make him believe he deserved love and greatness. You'll discover that redemption isn't about forgetting your past, it's about extracting the lesson and becoming someone new. Dan shares his journey of transformation, explaining that his foundation is built on faith and how he moved from repeating errors to making new ones. He emphasizes the core principle that the pain one endures ultimately shapes the purpose they are meant to serve. If you're stuck in shame or fighting to believe in yourself again, this conversation will prove that your past does not determine your future.

Lewis is an incredible speaker, a great host, an exceptional listener, and he is extremely knowledgeable! He does a phenomenal job at delivering a message, all while keeping the listener engaged. He keeps every episode interesting and informative. Lewis does a superb job at selecting his topics and his guests. You can tell he prepares for each episode and he is fully present with his guests. One of my favorite response from Lewis is when he says, “so what I am hearing you say is...”, and he will repeat how he understood how is guest explained something, this shows just how engaged he is. I have tried to carry this on into my own conversations. I have learned a ton from School of Greatness and continue to learn as I try to listen to him every day! I absolutely recommend this podcast to any and everyone!
