0:00.0	You're listening to the Feel Good Effect. Our guest today, she's giving us a masterclass on remembering,
0:07.8	plus giving lots of tips about how to remember the things that matter. And to be honest, when she told me
0:14.6	this one thing about memory and how it has been impacted over the last year. So many things made sense. So I hope
0:24.6	you stick around to hear what that is. Let's make it happen. Radically simple and ridiculously
0:32.6	doable, the feel good effect will help you redefine wellness on your terms. Hi, I'm your host, Robin Conley

2:04.4	in neuroscience from Harvard. Just one of the many guests that we have here that are just so wicked
2:10.3	smart. And what I love, though, about Lisa is that she works to translate what we know in the
2:16.3	research to real life. And that is what we do
