Brainwaves to Beliefs: A Scientist's Quest for Truth Beyond the Lab with Alja Podgornik

In this episode, host Ally Ammo interviews Alja, a neuroscientist who became disillusioned by academia and shifted her career to helping entrepreneurs reprogram their subconscious beliefs.

Alja shares her journey and discusses the realisations that led her away from science. Some of which are the focus on publication over discovery, the politics and ego within scientific communities, and the lack of focus on root causes in Western medicine.

Alja shares how personal health struggles and an interest in natural healing propelled her towards exploring the impact of emotions and beliefs on health and society. Together they explore the potential for personal and collective growth through authenticity and how we need to understand the interconnectedness of belief systems, identity, and society.
