Selected Episodes



Informative and Engaging
“I thought Dr. Laura Kolbe on the ‘COVID's Invisible Bullet’ episode was great. My favorite quote from her, ‘I thought it would be helpful if my patients could see what my whole face looks like since they really only see this narrow bit between my mask and the bouffant, so I started wearing a picture of myself on the outside of my PPE and leaving a little photo of myself, so they have a feeling of who their doctor actually is.”

Intrigued Musician!!
"Wow, what an interesting podcast! I loved hearing from a “Neuro-pianist”! Who knew?? As a musician, it hit all the right notes about understanding what I do every day! Thanks Dr. Stieg!!”

Nourishment for the brain!
"Really quite enjoy this podcast. Just listened to the “No More Shaking Hands” episode, and wish I had Dr.Stieg around to ask some follow-up questions! Easy to understand for a layperson like me, invites curiosity on diseases and technologies that I know little about, and allows me to go back to “school” but in a very friendly storytelling format. Thank you for bringing this podcast to us. This is definitely nutrition for the brain!"

Madly in Love
I am madly in love with this podcast. As a romantic divorce lawyer who watches how an all consuming love can transform people’s lives positively, I was completely mesmerized by how Dr. Stieg’s conversation with Dr. Helen Fisher brilliantly translated for a lay people the chemistry of destiny. I can’t wait to hear next podcast…thank you for sharing insights.

New Favorite Podcast
Whether you get your dopamine hits from drama and adventure stories, or thought provoking and reasoned intellectual discourse, this is the podcast for you! With only three episodes under its belt, this Podcast is by far my new favorite. Not only re the guests engaging, bot so is the host, Dr. Stieg. Having an interviewer who is not a generalist, but one of the world’s leading experts in the discipline of neuroscience lends depth, texture to the discussion. Looking forward to more!
