Speaker 1

I'm diving headfirst into cutting edge science to uncover three secrets to living better. We got a lot of work.

Speaker 2

Today, hasekee changers. That was actor Chris Hemsworth talking about his experience on his TV show Limitless. One of the best ways to boost your brain is to learn a new skill. You should be here and that was me because I was featured as a neuroscience expert on the series. The show premieres tomorrow, Friday, August fifteenth on Hulu and Disney Plus. In the premiere episode, I serve as Chris's brain coach and teach him about the powerful science of neuroplasticity.

I then encourage him to pick up a new skill, which research shows as one of the best ways to keep our brain sharp and stave off age related decline. Chris ends up choosing to learn the drums and commits to performing live with Ed Sheeran in front of seventy thousand pace. You won't want to miss what happens. This show is beautifully produced and manages to combine the thrill of adventure with scientific principles that will help you live a healthier, happier life. If you enjoy a slight change

of plans. My guess is that you'll probably enjoy Limitless too. If you're curious to hear more about my experience filming a TV show with Chris, I'll be doing a live Instagram Q and A this Friday, August fifteenth at ten thirty am Pacific time. You can find me at Doctor Maya Schunker. That's d r m a ya Sha n Kar. I'd never filmed a TV show before because I'm a normal person, and so I found it fascinating to see what goes on behind the scenes to make these kinds

of productions happen. I cannot wait for you to see this show. We had so much fun making it again. It premieres tomorrow, Friday, August fifteenth, on Hulu and Disney Plus.
