THE ED MYLETT SHOW

What if the pain you’re fighting isn’t coming from your body at all, but from patterns wired deep inside your brain?

In this powerful conversation, I sit down once again with one of the most impactful thinkers I know, Dr. Daniel Amen, to unpack a truth that changed how I see stress, pain, trauma, and healing. This is his fourth time on the show, and there’s a reason you keep asking for him. Dr. Amen has helped millions of people understand their brains better, including me, and his newest work hit me harder than any book he’s written before.

We go deep into the idea that pain is not just a signal from your body, but a story your brain is telling. Whether it shows up as back pain, anxiety, depression, or chronic stress, the root often lives in specific brain circuits that get hijacked by trauma, unresolved emotion, inflammation, and unhealthy habits. I open up about my own childhood, the stress patterns I still carry, and how those experiences changed my brain in ways I never fully understood until now.

Dr. Amen breaks down the pain HQ loop and explains how emotional pain, physical pain, and even moral or spiritual pain can trap you in cycles of suffering that feel impossible to escape. We talk about adverse childhood experiences, why unresolved rage often turns into chronic pain, and how habits like poor sleep, diet, and suppressed emotions quietly flip genetic switches that impact not just you, but future generations.

But this conversation is not just about understanding the problem. It is about getting out. We walk through the healing loop and the exact tools that calm the brain, raise heart rate variability, and restore control over your nervous system. From diaphragmatic breathing and progressive relaxation to journaling, EMDR, hyperbaric oxygen, and nutritional support, this episode is packed with practical ways to take your power back.

If you have ever felt stuck in your body, your mind, or your emotions, this episode will change how you see yourself. The real question Dr. Amen leaves us with is simple and life-altering: Is what you’re doing right now good for your brain or bad for it? Answer that honestly, and everything starts to shift.

Key Takeaways:

Why pain is often created and amplified by brain circuits, not just physical injury

How childhood trauma and stress hijack the brain’s pain and suffering pathways

What the pain HQ loop is and how it keeps people stuck in chronic stress and pain

Simple daily practices that calm your nervous system and improve brain health

Why your habits today affect your children and grandchildren more than you think

This is one of those episodes you’ll want to listen to more than once and share with someone who’s been carrying pain they cannot explain. Get ready to see healing in a completely new way.

What if your biggest memory struggles have nothing to do with your intelligence and everything to do with how your brain is wired?

In this mashup episode, I bring together four of the most respected minds in brain performance and human potential to break down how memory really works and how you can unlock it at a much higher level starting today. If you have ever said “I’m just bad at remembering names,” “I can’t focus,” or “I don’t retain what I read,” this conversation is going to change how you see yourself.

You’re going to hear from Jim Kwik, Dr. Caroline Leaf, Dr. Joe Dispenza, and John Assaraf as we unpack the four primary brain types and why trying to learn the same way as everyone else is holding you back. Jim Kwik explains how identifying your dominant brain type allows you to finally work with your mind instead of fighting it. Dr. Caroline Leaf dives into the science of neuroplasticity and how your thoughts and habits literally reshape your brain over time. Dr. Joe Dispenza connects memory, focus, and emotional regulation, showing how stress and identity can either enhance or hijack your ability to learn. And John Assaraf breaks down how belief systems and repetition program your subconscious to either expand or limit what your brain retains.

What I love about this mashup is how practical it is. This is not theory for the sake of theory. These are real tools you can use to read faster, remember names, improve focus, make better decisions, and even communicate more effectively with the people around you. You will start to see why some people thrive in fast paced environments, why others excel at deep analysis, and why creativity, empathy, and logic all play different roles in how we store and retrieve information.

I truly believe that once you understand how your brain is designed to operate, you stop labeling yourself as broken or behind. You start seeing your mind as an asset that simply needs the right operating system. This episode will help you stop forcing strategies that do not fit you and start building memory, focus, and confidence in a way that feels natural and sustainable.

If you are serious about improving your performance, your learning, and your ability to show up at your best, this mashup will give you clarity and momentum. Your brain is capable of far more than you have been taught. It is time to unlock it.

Key Takeaways:


The four primary brain types and how each one processes information differently


Why forgetting information is often a strategy problem, not an intelligence problem


How stress, emotions, and identity directly impact memory and focus


Practical techniques to improve retention, recall, and learning speed


How to communicate and collaborate better by understanding other brain types

What if the key to healing your body, calming your mind, and extending your life has been inside you the whole time?

In this episode, I sit down with one of the most important scientists alive today, Dr. Kevin Tracey, and I do not say that lightly. Kevin is a neurosurgeon, neuroscientist, and the pioneer behind a discovery that could fundamentally change how we treat disease, mental health, and inflammation. I have wanted him on this show for a long time, and after this conversation, you will understand why. This is one of those episodes where you grab a notebook, because it will completely shift how you think about your body, your brain, and your health.

We break down the vagus nerve in plain English and why it may be the master regulator of inflammation, stress, trauma, and longevity. Kevin explains how chronic inflammation is linked to most of the diseases that shorten our lives and how the nervous system acts like the brakes that keep inflammation from spinning out of control. He walks us through the groundbreaking FDA approved therapy using vagus nerve stimulation that is already helping people with rheumatoid arthritis get out of wheelchairs, return to work, and reclaim their lives. And yes, he believes this is just the beginning.

We also go deep into the connection between childhood trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, and physical disease. Kevin explains how unhealed stress can leave a biological imprint on the nervous system for decades and how that imprint can quietly drive inflammation throughout the body. We talk about depression, anxiety, heart rate variability, and why your body may be stuck in fight or flight without you even realizing it. This is not theory. This is real science, explained in a way that actually makes sense.

Then we get practical. We talk about daily habits that cost nothing but can make a real difference. Breathing, prayer, meditation, cold exposure, exercise, sleep, and why doing hard things on purpose can build both mental resilience and physical health. Kevin is refreshingly honest about what science knows, what it does not know yet, and what questions we should be asking next. That humility is exactly why I trust his work.

This conversation left me fired up, hopeful, and honestly in awe of what is coming next in medicine. If you care about your health, your performance, your longevity, or understanding how your mind and body truly work together, this is a must listen. And do yourself a favor and grab his book The Great Nerve. There is not a wasted page.

Key Takeaways


Why inflammation is at the root of most chronic disease and how the nervous system controls it


How the vagus nerve acts as the brake pedal for stress, trauma, and inflammation


The revolutionary FDA approved vagus nerve therapy already changing lives


How childhood stress can biologically shape your health decades later


Simple daily practices that may help calm your nervous system and improve wellbeing

If you want to understand the future of health and how to take control of your body from the inside out, this episode will open your eyes. Share this one with someone you love.

What if the real reason most people never reach their dreams has nothing to do with failure at all and everything to do with something far more subtle and dangerous?

In this mashup episode, I bring together three powerful conversations that cut straight to the core of what actually derails greatness. I am joined by James Clear, Rich Diviney, and Jason Wilson to expose the silent forces that quietly pull people away from the life they know they are capable of living. This is not about fear of failure or lack of talent. It is about the habits, identities, and emotional patterns that slowly convince you to play smaller than you were born to play.

James Clear breaks down how tiny compromises in daily habits compound into massive distance from your dreams. He explains why most people never fall off track all at once, but instead drift through subtle decisions that feel harmless in the moment. Rich Diviney brings a powerful perspective from elite military leadership, sharing why stress, uncertainty, and identity collapse are often misunderstood and why learning to operate inside discomfort is the real separator between those who rise and those who retreat. Jason Wilson adds a deeply personal layer, unpacking how emotional avoidance and unhealed pain can quietly sabotage even the strongest exterior.

I also share some of the hardest truths I have learned in my own life. The greatest threat to your dreams is not missing a goal or falling short. It is getting comfortable. It is seeking approval from people who are not living the life you want. It is slowly negotiating with your standards until the version of you that once felt destined for more becomes a stranger. This episode will challenge you to take an honest look at where you may be drifting instead of driving.

If you have ever felt like you are busy but not fulfilled, successful but not satisfied, or capable of more but unsure why you are not there yet, this conversation is for you. My hope is that it wakes you up, recenters your standards, and reminds you that the distance between where you are and where you want to be is often closed by awareness and intentional action, not motivation alone.

Key Takeaways


Why comfort and identity drift are more dangerous than outright failure


How small daily habits quietly determine the size of your future


What elite performers do differently when facing uncertainty and pressure


How emotional avoidance can sabotage long term success and fulfillment


Why raising your standards is often more important than setting bigger goals


How to reconnect with the version of yourself you were born to become

What if the real breakthrough you are searching for has nothing to do with hustling harder and everything to do with surrender, grace, and presence?

In this deeply moving conversation, I sit down with Sage Robbins, and I can honestly tell you this is one of the most powerful interviews I have ever done. I have wanted to have Sage on the show for a long time, and after this conversation, you will understand why. Her wisdom, her heart, and the calm strength she carries will meet you exactly where you are. This episode is not about motivation for the sake of motivation. It is about learning how to live with more peace, more compassion, and more truth in a noisy and divided world.

We talk about Sage’s upbringing surrounded by recovery, Alcoholics Anonymous, and the 12-step program, and how watching her father, grandparents, and siblings walk through addiction and healing shaped the way she sees humanity. She shares how surrender is not weakness, but freedom, and why so much of our suffering comes from believing life should be different than it is. This conversation opened my own heart as we connected over our fathers, recovery, forgiveness, and what it really means to take responsibility for your inner world.

Sage also speaks with rare honesty about grace, humility, and the power of making amends. We discuss why saying “I’m sorry” is one of the most transformative practices in relationships, how ego closes the heart, and why ownership opens it again. She explains how self reflection, not blame, is the gateway to real peace. If you have strained family relationships, unresolved resentment, or feel disconnected from people you love, this part of the conversation will hit home.

One of the most profound moments in the episode is when Sage guides us through her daily practice called “60 Seconds of Grace.” It is a simple but life changing reset that brings you back to the present moment. We also talk about how to recognize what is no longer serving you in your life, just like shedding old patterns, judgments, and beliefs that disconnect you from love. This is an episode you will not just listen to. You will feel it. And I promise you will come away changed.

Key Takeaways


Why surrendering control can create more peace, clarity, and freedom in your life


How grace for yourself naturally becomes grace for others


The hidden power of making amends and taking full responsibility


Why self reflection matters more than being right


A simple daily practice to reconnect with peace in just 60 seconds


How to let go of what no longer serves you so life can truly begin

If you have been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or divided from the people you love, this conversation with Sage Robbins may be exactly what your soul has been waiting for. Please share this episode with someone who needs more grace in their life right now. Let’s Max Out together.
