Increase Your Creativity + Decrease Your Cognitive Decline w/ Ginny Santos | Ep 3
Ginny Santos has been arrested in three different countries, run a training program for a Secret Service agency, and done facilitation work at the Pentagon. Along the way she earned a Master of Science in Creativity, sitting in class next to someone from the CIA.
Today she’s a neuroperformance coach and the founder of Neole. Her work comes down to one idea: your brain is your main tool, and most of us don’t treat it like one.
One of her clients came home from a week-long business trip expecting a warm welcome. Instead, his partner told him, “Actually, it is kind of better without you because you’re always so stressed.” Ginny says we’ve normalized that level of stress so much that we think it’s just what life is like.
In this conversation we get into:
- Why only a small percentage of cognitive decline comes down to genetics.
- The sources of stress you have more control over than you think, like sleep quality and what you eat.
- Why she says we aren’t making mistakes as individuals, we’re making them as a society.
- The “professional toys” she uses with clients, from an EEG brain-mapping cap to red light therapy that clips into your nose.
- How the brain works like a muscle, and how you can rebuild the focus you thought you’d lost.
I also make a confession about the concealer I put on before we hit record.
