Brain Shaman
Brain Shaman is a philosophical and scientific journey towards better brain health. Michael Waite discusses how you can change your brain state and overall nervous system via behavior, nutrition, nature, and technology. Mental illness, addiction, and low brain function are destroying so many people and societies. By becoming increasingly disconnected from our natural mind-body-world and plugged into the artificial ones, we are getting sicker, weaker, and less free. We must become more conscious of how the information that we consume (in the form of action, food, drugs, sensory input, media, etc.) affects our brain. This podcast teaches you how to reconnect with your primordial nature, reprogram your brain, regain your freedom, and redirect your life.

Faye Sahai: The Future of Digital Wellness and Mental Health Technology | Episode 61
Faye Sahai is the managing director at Telosity Ventures, a venture capital firm that invests in digital wellness and mental health startups. In this interview, you will learn all about current trends in mental health and the some of the latest technologies and solutions striving to improve it. We discuss this from various angles: cultural factors, human connection, trust, autonomy, agency, personalization, etc. We also talk about the causes of the rise in mental health disorders (especially in youth), the role of technology (such as smartphones, social media, sensors, data, VR, and AI), assessment tools, environment, nutrition, behavior, and more.
For those of you interested in creating or investing in mental health startups, you will also get advice on how to build or identify a great company. As a teaser, some of the things we touch on include: user engagement, determining how well the product/service truly helps people, and diversity.
This is also a nice chance to get to know Faye's story - her upbringing, career journey, motivations, memories, pains, sensitivities, influences, family, hopes, and beyond.
We delve into some darker topics such as suicide, depression, dementia, and social isolation. But there is light at the end of this conversational tunnel.
