Summary

In the final part of today’s 2-part episode with neuroscience expert, Nolan Williams, we continue the conversation discussing the real cause for depression and the role of psychedelics and magnetic transcranial magnetic stimulation to solve this problem. If anxiety and depression have become one of your biggest roadblocks and challenges stay tuned, this conversation is aimed at helping you find ways to rewire your brain and get back to chasing fulfillment. This part of the conversation goes deeper into why early life trauma has such a profound impact on a person’s future risk of depression, how psychedelic therapies are showing promise for affecting a person’s long-term perception, and why you’ll want to reconsider the way your behaviors and experiences are properties of your brain, not consequences. I’m excited for this conversation with Nolan Williams because of the way he bridges the gap between neurology and psychology with insights on depression and emerging treatments. Nolan uses expert insights on cause and treatment of depression to focus on preventive mental health approaches, brain-stimulation methods and the potential benefits of psychedelic drugs. Nolan draws the bridge between neurology and psychology. NOLAN WILLIAMS QUOTES: “Depression is comorbid with almost everything, and it makes everything it touches worse.” “For a fair amount of people, the mind and self are totally fused, and I think that’s where a lot of the problems are.” Follow Nolan Williams: Website: https://bsl.stanford.edu/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/NolanRyWilliams Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stanford_bsl/ SPONSORS: elizabeth@advertisepurple.com ***Are You Ready for EXTRA Impact?*** If you’re ready to find true fulfillment, strengthen your focus, and ignite your true potential, the Impact Theory subscription was created just for you.

0:00.0	The Matrix was a documentary, I assure you. You are living inside of a simulation. Even if it's just
0:07.2	the simulation created by your own brain to help you navigate the real world. The fact is that we all
0:12.9	see a facsimile of the world that is created on the fly by our brains. When everything is fine,
0:18.9	we're all free to learn, grow, and chase our dreams.
0:21.8	But when things go off the rails and we become anxious or depressed, it's like there's a
0:26.3	glitch in the matrix and all hell breaks loose. And that's what today's episode, part two with

0:53.2	Listen closely to this one, guys.
0:54.6	I feel such an intense obligation to help people that struggle with anxiety and depression,
0:59.7	since anxiety has been such a big part of my life, and I know firsthand how debilitating it can be.
1:05.0	And I also know how profound it can be when you find a way to get back on track. And today,
