What if ancient wisdom held the key to modern health challenges like inflammation, brain fog, and stress?

In this episode of the Brain Fitness Podcast, I sit down with Juraj Kocar, founder of Wyse Earth, to explore the science behind adaptogenic mushroom honey: a fusion of Traditional Chinese Medicine and modern innovation.

Wyse Earth is a mission-driven brand offering adaptogenic mushroom-infused honey formulated by TCM masters to help combat chronic inflammation—the leading health issue in the U.S. Previously, he led innovation at Attune Health and Somavedic Technologies, driving solutions to enhance well-being.

Together, we discuss how adaptogens help the body restore balance, support the immune and nervous systems, and promote natural resilience against chronic inflammation.

You’ll hear how Wyse Earth’s unique formulation uses honey as a bioavailable delivery system, amplifying the benefits of mushrooms like reishi, lion’s mane, and cordyceps.

We also dive into topics like the brain–gut connection, how stress affects blood sugar regulation, and why small, daily habits like mindful nutrition can fuel focus, energy, and longevity!

Peak performance at work isn’t just hustle: it’s brain fitness.

Today I’m joined by Ruchika Sikri—former Head of Well-Being Learning at Google, to unpack how companies (and individuals) can build sustainable focus, emotional resilience, and creativity.

Ruchika Sikri is the Co-author of The Brain Fitness Blueprint, General Partner at Wisdom Ventures Fund, and Co-founder & CEO of Ready Platform. With over 25 years of leadership experience at Google, Microsoft, and Cisco—including eight years leading Google’s global Well-Being and Mindfulness Learning Programs—she has helped over 120,000 employees cultivate mindfulness, compassion, and sustainable high performance. Today, she focuses on advancing tech-enabled well-being and compassionate innovation to create a more mindful, connected world.

In this episode, we cover Google’s internal well-being programs (Search Inside Yourself), what happened when we introduced brain breaks and BrainTap at Google, and how our Circle of Vitality framework (sleep, nutrition, movement, emotional & mental health, relationships, environment, purpose, and work) keeps your “performance wheel” from going flat. We also talk about AI’s impact on human work, why segmenting beats multitasking, and how to implement a 30-day plan for better brain health.

In this episode of the Brain Fitness Podcast, I sit down with Sumit Rai, CEO of Cancer Check Labs, to discuss how early cancer detection is reshaping the emotional experience of health.

Mr. Rai is the founder and CEO of Cancer Check Labs, where his innovative approach to circulating tumor cell (CTC) capture is transforming cancer technology. Driven by the loss of his younger sister to cancer, Mr. Rai is dedicated to the fight against the disease.

Since 2012, he has served as President of Cure Sonia, which funds cancer research at top centers like Stanford, USC, and MD Anderson, and provides financial assistance to families in need. He also recently launched Save A Firefighter, offering early cancer detection for firefighters who face triple the cancer risk due to their occupation. In 2022, Mr. Rai was nominated for the National Board of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Before his work in cancer research, Mr. Rai spent 20 years in venture capital, private equity, and hedge funds, as well as founding a mobile ad exchange with a notable exit.

Even the healthiest people feel fear when they hear the word cancer. But what if awareness and early testing could change that? Sumit shares how new advances in early cancer screening technology are giving people the gift of clarity, helping replace fear with confidence and peace of mind.

We explore why cancer-related anxiety is real, how early cancer detection empowers informed decision-making, and the emotional shift from reactive care to proactive prevention. This conversation blends science and compassion to remind us that knowledge isn’t just power: it’s freedom from fear.
