@JimKwik I utterly have an amazing day to gain fruitful knowledge discussion from you & Mel!🌹

[@Claudia-lq3ns]

Jim, thank you so much! You are truly inspiring, and I appreciate the really smart tips. I even purchased your book. You're a dude to watch, and I'm certainly paying attention. Thanks again! ⭐️🌞🙏

[@tanafranko5312]

This is my positive peer group right here! ❤

[@iampennylane777]

Thanks for all that you do Jim..was a great show..I feel I got smarter from listening to you..and I remembered all that you said as well.😅

[@DeBora4Bobby]

I too had a broken brain, and I went on to get 3 college degrees at the top 15% of my class! I'm hearing impaired to from nearly 6 years of ear infection that ate my brain and I had foul smelling drainage unto I turned 18 and could see a brain surgeon to fix it. Doctors don't know how I survived! I now have my own therapy and hypnosis and coaching practice! I've been married almost 45 years! I was told an EEG proved I was also retarded! The hardest part of change work is believing in yourself! You CAN do it!

[@debramcmartin905]

You are truly inspiring.

[@edytam8454]

❤amazing Thank you for sharing your story

[@leslieeddington6960]

I am now 70 years old..look 50ish❤❤❤. Still work and struggle trying to remember simple things. I felt just in the time I listened to this and practiced some of these that my brain has grown so much stronger. I'm already doing the diet. I do the exercise. Thank you Mel. I love all your podcasts. This one is definitely a game changer.❤❤❤

[@MissSenkevich]

Wow ! We want part 2 please! Incredible guest! Please like this post for Mel and her team to see it ❤

[@Masajedegrandes]

I had a concussion a few months ago and I swear it's made my memory so much worse I can usually remember anything for an exam and Ace it but as soon as exam is over the info leaves my brain now I feel like I can't even memorize for an exam this podcast is exactly what i needed

[@rotcaka]

Brain Foods!!! Exercise!!! Rest 😴🤕 Hope you get well soon 🥦💝

[@Resolve1984]

I'm so sorry Lauren, I will pray for you. Call out to Jesus asked for his help 😊. Mel's podcast help me out too

[@barshabaram6275]

MEL AND JIM, YOU BOTH SAVED ME TODAY, when I was feeling always overwhelmed and anxious by all the things my brain was not being able to process Thank you so much for this whole new energy, perspective and superpower my brain is feeling right now ❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@christyperez9544]

Ahh! All these years I was told NOT to use my finger when reading. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m not crazy about reading BUT will will try with your method. Thanks! 🙏

[@chloegenet1027]

Dear Jim, Your advice to use a pointer while you read is incredible. I have never read (and understood content) that fast in my entire life. I'm a law student. I would spend up to two hours reading a 10-15 page case. I thought I was born slow and would stay slow. The freedom you've given me by sharing this is beyond words. Thank you. A million times, thank you. Chloe

[@tracysmith4878]

Wish they taught this to the kids in schools. There is so much benefit from this and we will have a much more educated environment with mindful people.

[@vannysanchez5825]

@jimkwik you brought tears to my eyes.. no baby should every be told such a horrible thing😢.. @mel thank you !! As always you bring in wonderful people into your show to help us❤❤

[@NuVisionabroad]

@jimkwik I have read Jim's book limitless watched just about every video he has ever made and follow all his advice on brain food. My memory has supercharged over the last five years. It really is quite remarkable. My memory is infinitely better now.

[@LostCatFindersDrippingSprings]

What a kind and wonderful man. Thank you for having him on the show I’ve had over 20 concussions and I had given up on fixing my broken brain. This is so inspiring.

[@valitsaki1924]

How's your brain going nowadays

[@ahlamsamara9255]

I am never bored of listening to this video again and again. Thank you. ❤

[@jaykaye562]

I’ve listened to Jim many times over the years, but somehow this interview hit me different - that was incredible - and that last exercise - I’m gobsmacked that I remembered all 10! Phenomenal. This gives me more belief that I can improve my memory and brain health. Thank you, Jim & Mel. I will pass these brilliant tips and news on you, to many 🙏🏽

[@billb5865]

I just found out from my mom's friend and I'm loving this

[@emelynbugayong2929]

Wow! I learned soooo much! Thanks Mel❤

[@mamaveeYT]

I could use this for my kids! Thank you!

[@solangelipcin]

Hi Mel thank you for this video! I am a Spanish teacher from Argentina living in Australia, and have found that to learn a new language the best way is to immerse in the culture through friendships, music, movies and meaningful experiences. Happy to chat in Spanish anytime! ❤

[@the.toxic.phoenix]

Ugh I couldn't remember any of that at the end 😑😣 my memory is awful. I'm open to trying the book though. The other tips are great though - deff being present in the moment helps you to remember much more. If you're really paying attention, it sinks in, whether it's a conversation or where something is.

[@user-ic5ns4ot2x]

Thank you Mel and Jim you both are wonderful

[@julietbernier1714]

Thank you very much Mel, your podcast have a limitless amazing topics that is truly helpful.

[@Fritzie73]

LOVE your videos Mel!!! I first saw you with Steven on his podcast and I had to find your channel on KZbin!! I connected with Jim for I to had a serious head injury at 34, I now deal with Meniers daily and other issues that I believe Jim's book will help me ❤❤!! Thank you God bless you 🙏!

[@weronikakunka684]

@melrobbins I just finished watching this episode and the other one with Dr Amy Shah. That's funny that the same food listed here helps not only your brain but also your gut. Amazing! Thanks Mel for amazing experts who teach us every week amazing things about ourselves 💕

[@MauiJOY]

Loved this podcast and purchased Jim Kwik's book, Limitless and am implementing many of his practices. Feeling on track and decided to learn the person's phone number who has my health directive. Like so many others have begun to rely on my contact list on my phone for these important numbers. So much more..!!! Can hardly wait to put so many of these exercises in practice!!! Mahalo (Thank YOU) for it all!

[@colourful64able]

Well years ago I did two courses... the human calculator and mega memory... and Jim is teaching everything on those tapes. I bet he did them too... they were by somebody names trudeau

[@janespitfire9884]

Lady i love you, your brain and your topics!!

[@Monito21812]

This is so helpful

[@SaigeSnowdell]

First clue I needed this video… while watching, I’m wrapping gifts and have to keep removing the tape to check what gifts I’m wrapping so I can write the correct name on the gift.

[@reinabee1884]

This is great. Thank you for this, I learned a lot ❤❤❤

[@dawnmageenovascotiarealtor]

Oh my gosh, my two all-time favourites in one podcast😮

[@pjlewisful]

good stuff!!!!

[@lizaohlrogge9302]

Wow , super smart , good tools!

[@aliray1868]

I totally agree with remembering peoples names. I associate them with someone else. I 90./' of the time remember their name.. and if I didn't then I didn't take the time to associate!

[@iampennylane777]

I subscribed, cause I love you too Mel❤😊

[@LolaAileenVanslette]

Awesome. I hope I can remember all this. I didn't even know listen spelled silent. Crazy.

[@regcrowder9010]

Hi Mel 🎉 This sounds promising! 😁

[@regcrowder9010]

This was remarkable 😊

[@user-ft6jg7yw2t]

Hi Mel and Jim, thanks so much for these tips and the talk on 'how we learn'. I'm a lefty and have tried reading using my left pointing finger and didn't get any improvement in the speed, exact same number of pages in one minute...but what's interesting is that I've tried again but this time using my right hand pointer finger and got that 25%increase in the reading speed that you mention in the podcast...is this because it's easier to drag your right hand left to right than it is pushing your left one in the same direction? I just thought it could add an interesting detail to this conversation around reading techniques..thank you again! Miriam from Italy

[@belladonna9280]

My memory is trash, the worst of the worst. Hope this video will help me and improve my life, especially professional one.

[@amywilloughby8019]

Alllllll the time!!!

[@user-fb6jh3fo5k]

What makes Jim Kwik never mention which parts of the brain specifically were injured after falling accident ? How those parts of a brain were cured or which parts of the brain were covering deficit of right functionig in injured part of the brain.

[@RosalieElnekave]

holy video, thank you ❤

[@colourful64able]

Mel.. please do a video on aphantasia! My mind is blown.. I dont have that tv in my "Head". Do you Mel

[@ashrafkhan9363]

Good 👍

[@Deliberate_growth]

The A in SUAVE could also be a great conversation starter

[@marikatecarlisle3988]

My mom's best friend taught me how to count in Japanese when I was a kid. I never forgot.

[@leanneb6622]

My long-term memory from 20-30 years ago and short term 2 weeks ago is awful, but ask me about what I had 5 years ago for breakfast, and I could tell you.

[@mscookie1105]

Thank you for this. I thought I was going crazy. Sadly I think its COVID related 😕

[@annsmith2032]

I have already read that way. Yes, you do read faster but you definitely don't retain more information. I still need to go back and read some paragraphs over.

[@kathyk8748]

I cant remember anything either! Annnndddd....i dont notice things anymore! Im like the teenage boy who cant find the milk even if it is right in front of his face🤦‍♀️😭

[@aristeakeseloff4245]

Learning is the super power .

[@davidtmasomera]

Watching this video now and agree with Mel a lot, I am 23 also feel like I forget too much, even asked my dad one day if I was developing dementia, also told myself I bad at languages hence can’t learn new languages

[@crystalsanchez875]

WOW WOW WOW 🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@SebasNunez1315]

What’s mom stand for ?! I’m trying to remember . Motivation , observation and meaning ?

[@reneepark6711]

Method

[@nobullziggster4070]

Whoa you caught me sleeping, thanks for the wake up call...

[@greyhnd001]

How about microgreens. I put 2 cups of blueberries in my oatmeal. No sugar or syrup

[@ellewonderful7145]

I'm 32 and I'm having this issue.

[@fihimaissa7932]

I’m struggling with memory.

[@Caoivyweevy]

Memory loss was my first symptom of brain cancer. I completely forgot how to chop an onion. Then had a seizure a few weeks later.

[@Fckyourfeelingsboo]

Everyone don’t leave without subscribing!!! And smash 💥 that like button before leaving.

[@stacyjaye6350]

I thumbs upped your comment though.😆

[@dbruce5760]

Wow Mel! Are we the same person? Lol

[@memesfarmhousedesigns9254]

🖐🏼🖐🏼🖐🏼🖐🏼🖐🏼

[@Daan-oc3yn]

Why is this video edited so strangely? It has been cut and pasted. Strange.. Cool topic though!

[@diannanatale1263]

What do I say when I high 5 in the mirror?

[@vcanadian1971]

You can smile, think hi beautiful, I totally ROCK ❤ I’ve got this 👍🏼

[@NikkiGregory]

I learned counting in Japanese w a joke. A soldier walks into a bar & asks where the girl named Ichenee went. The bartender says, “Iche Knee? Son she go.” I shortened it but u get the idea.

[@vreyacreates1958]

Great one! 😂

[@gurdarshankhalsa4351]

Anyone out there having trouble reading subtitles fast enough? Help!!!

[@donnaavery.walksinspirit]

Click the gear icon on the top right & slow down the playback speed. That should help.

[@sheraljames7966]

Did I doze...what about the 200 people the room?!
