When Calm CEO David Ko took the stage at the Fortune Brainstorm AI conference earlier this month, he opened with a deceptively simple question. His company had surveyed more than 250 C-suite executives and asked them, plainly: How are you doing?

Most answered the same way many leaders do – good.

On the surface, that response suggests Resilience, Confidence, Control. But when Ko and his team looked beneath the surface, the picture changed dramatically.

Your brain is protected by one of the most sophisticated defence systems in the human body: the blood–brain barrier (BBB). This tightly regulated network of cells acts like a security checkpoint, allowing nutrients in while keeping many harmful substances out. It’s remarkably effective—but it isn’t invincible.

Modern life exposes us to compounds that are small, persistent, and biologically disruptive. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), certain heavy metals, and mycotoxins from mold-contaminated foods or environments are examples. These substances can accumulate in the body over time, placing stress on metabolic, immune, and nervous system pathways. While the BBB blocks many threats, systemic toxic burden can still indirectly affect brain function through inflammation, oxidative stress, and disruptions along the gut–brain axis.

In my experience of dealing with CEOs, C-Suite executives and start up entrepreneurs over thirty years, I have found that once they cross the 35 plus marker age wise, they all start to experience increased stress levels that may border on anxiety. I formulated a programme I call “The Neuroscience of Success”.

Ever notice how your brain feels foggy when you’re stressed? That’s not just in your head—chronic stress can actually shrink your brain.

Environmental toxins and chemical exposures are no longer niche scientific debates—they’re becoming headline news. And the evidence piling up is deeply concerning: our immune systems are under attack, not just in the present, but across future generations.

In recent years, the old expression about “trusting your gut” has taken on a whole new meaning. As researchers delve deeper into this complex ecosystem, it’s becoming increasingly clear that these bacteria can play a crucial role in shaping our health, mood, and even longevity. https://blog.drsundardas.com/your-gut-brain-and-you/

We’ve all heard the phrase “sitting is the new smoking.” It’s not just a catchy line—it’s the reality of modern life. Most of us spend 7–10 hours a day glued to chairs, couches, or car seats. Welcome to the age of sitting disease.

The New Epidemic of Sitting Disease

In the 21st century, technology has made life more convenient than ever. We can work, shop, learn, and socialize without ever leaving our chairs. Yet, this very convenience has fueled what health experts are now calling the “sitting disease.” Unlike infections or viruses, sitting disease isn’t contagious. It’s a lifestyle epidemic—an invisible health crisis creeping into offices, classrooms, and homes around the world.

Air pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues of the 21st century, affecting both human health and ecosystems globally. It is defined as the presence of substances in the atmosphere, including gases, particulate matter, and biological materials, at concentrations that can cause harm to humans, animals, plants, and infrastructure (Peavy, Rowe, & Tchobanoglous, 2017). The sources, impacts, and control of air pollution are diverse, and understanding these components is essential for developing effective mitigation strategies.

Air pollutants can be categorized into particulate matter, gaseous pollutants, biological pollutants, and heavy metals or toxic substances. Particulate matter (PM) refers to solid or liquid particles suspended in the air. It is commonly classified based on particle size, such as PM10, which includes particles less than 10 micrometers in diameter, and PM2.5, which includes particles less than 2.5 micrometers (Seinfeld & Pandis, 2016). Sources of particulate matter include vehicle emissions, industrial activities, construction dust, and combustion of fossil fuels. These particles pose significant health risks, including respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.

I formulated a program I call “The Neuroscience of Success”.

The really smart ones begin to recognise that this is something new. Their coping mechanisms are no longer adequate and they need to start defining a new pathway for themselves that includes sleep hygiene, nutritional regulation, mindfulness and a new life perspective. This allows them to successful.

Let’s look at some ground breaking discoveries that are revolutionizing how we understand gut health!

What Is the Microbiome?

Our bodies are home to trillions of microorganisms, collectively known as the gut microbiome. These tiny inhabitants play a crucial role in our health and well-being, influencing everything from digestion to mood.
