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.

Amanda Wiggins: Dementia Prevention, Vascular Health, and cGP | Episode 127
In this episode, I talk with Amanda Wiggins, CEO of The cGP Lab in New Zealand. We explore how about how our choices across early, middle, and later life can influence brain health and long-term risk of dementia. Many of these factors—like high blood sugar, diabetes, hypertension, drinking, and smoking—are closely tied to vascular health. Amanda explains how blood vessels function, how they get damaged, and what we can do to protect and repair them.
She also introduces cGP (cyclic glycine proline), a supplement that helps regulate IGF-1, supports blood vessel repair, and may lower the risk of dementia, Parkinson’s, and other neurological conditions.
