  • #1 Neurologists: What You Can Do to Prevent Alzheimer's & Dementia

    #1 Neurologists: What You Can Do to Prevent Alzheimer's & Dementia
    Apr 9 2026
    Today’s episode is a MUST listen. This is one of the most important conversations you will ever hear about Alzheimer’s prevention, dementia, memory loss, and brain health. If you’re worried about your memory, your parents’ memory, or your risk of cognitive decline as you age, this episode gives you something most conversations don’t: real hope, backed by science, and a clear plan you can start today. In this powerful episode, Mel sits down with world‑renowned neurologists Dr. Ayesha Sherzai and Dr. Dean Sherzai, two of the leading medical experts in Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and cognitive decline. Together, they break down what dementia actually is, how Alzheimer’s fits into it, and why brain decline often begins 20+ years before symptoms appear - long before most people think to pay attention to brain health. Dr. Ayesha and Dr. Dean explain how brain health is not determined by genetics alone, and why your daily habits have the power to prevent, slow, and even pause cognitive decline. They share the exact science‑backed framework they teach their patients, built around five simple pillars of brain health using one unforgettable acronym: NEURO. You’ll also learn how to tell the difference between normal forgetfulness (like walking into a room and forgetting why) and early warning signs of dementia that should prompt a doctor visit. And if you’re a caregiver - or love someone who is - this episode is essential listening. The doctors explain why caregivers face a significantly higher risk of cognitive decline, how chronic stress and poor sleep damage the brain, and what you can do to protect your own memory while caring for others. In this episode, you’ll learn: - How to prevent Alzheimer’s disease and slow cognitive decline using science‑backed daily habits - The difference between normal age‑related forgetfulness and early warning signs of dementia - What dementia actually is, how Alzheimer’s fits into it, and why brain decline can start decades before symptoms - Why genetics are not your destiny when it comes to memory loss and brain health - The NEURO framework neurologists use to protect memory and reduce Alzheimer’s risk - How exercise, deep sleep, stress reduction, and nutrition physically grow new brain connections There is so much good news in the research. There are simple, free things you can do starting today - even while listening - that can reduce dementia risk by up to 53% and dramatically improve long‑term brain health. If you’re concerned about Alzheimer’s, dementia, memory loss, or your cognitive future - this is the conversation you need.

  • The Business Expert: How to Make More Money, Beat Self-Doubt, & Reinvent Your Life

    The Business Expert: How to Make More Money, Beat Self-Doubt, & Reinvent Your Life
    Apr 6 2026

    This episode is a MUST listen.

    If you’ve ever felt behind, stuck, overlooked, or underpaid, you need to hit play.

    This is the most motivational, eye-opening episode that you will ever hear, and it will give you the roadmap to become the bolder, braver, more confident, and richer version of yourself you know you’re meant to be.

    Today, Mel is joined by Barbara Corcoran.

    Barbara is one of the original Sharks on Shark Tank, a real estate mogul, and one of the most influential self-made women in business.

    This episode will show you how to create an extraordinary and successful life, even if you’ve been underestimated, rejected, dumped, or doubted.

    She’ll remind you it’s not too late and you’re not too old - you can reinvent your life, achieve more, and go after what you want using the playbook she shares in this episode.

    Barbara was called “stupid” at school. She worked 22 different jobs before she borrowed $1,000 to start her business with her boyfriend… and then got dumped when he left her for her secretary.

    But that was just the start of her story. She proves that anything is possible when you refuse to quit.

    Today, she’s built a legendary career, created one of the biggest real estate companies in New York City, and sold it for millions - by refusing to let other people’s opinions define her.

    In this conversation, Barbara will give you the mindset, the strategy, and the truth you need to bet on yourself when the world doubts you and when you’ve been doubting you, too.

    You will learn:

    -The single most valuable skill anyone who lost their job needs to hear

    -Barbara's advice if you want to start a business today

    -What makes a good pitch

    -The most effective way to ask for a raise so you actually get one

    -The difference between a boss and a leader

    -How to beat self-doubt by changing the “tape” in your head
    -The simple mindset shift that gets you moving again when you feel stuck
    -How to turn failure into fuel

    -The one trait Barbara says she’ll fire you for fast

    This is a masterclass in confidence, reinvention, and motivation.

    By the time it’s over, you’ll stop making excuses, stop playing small, and start moving.

  • 6 Words to Tell Yourself Every Morning

    6 Words to Tell Yourself Every Morning
    Apr 2 2026
    You will not believe how much better you feel when you say these 6 words. This is one of the most transformative conversations ever, on the Mel Robbins Podcast. And it’s about… your clothes. If you’ve ever stood in front of your closet thinking: “I have nothing to wear.” “Nothing fits right.” “I don’t feel good in my body.” “Whatever… I’ll just wear the same thing again.” This conversation will change that. Erin Walsh is a celebrity stylist and Women’s Wear Daily Stylist of the Year who teaches the psychology of getting dressed with intention. She is also Mel’s stylist who dressed her for the Golden Globes! In this conversation, Erin will show you how to stop walking into your closet and picking the same jeans, the same black shirt, the same outfit on repeat. Instead, Erin will teach you the 6 words that will transform the clothes you already own into tools to help you become the “supernova” version of yourself. No shopping. No trends. No pressure to be “a fashion person.” You need to start this tomorrow morning, here’s why: You have to get dressed every day, so why not get intentional about it? In this episode, you’ll learn: -A brand-new way to get dressed that makes you feel BETTER, not worse -Why your clothes are keeping you stuck - and how to change that -Why you don’t need to buy anything to feel fabulous -How to stop hiding and start dressing to feel confident, powerful, and beautiful -The mindset shift that changes your mood, confidence, and energy all day -Why “I have nothing to wear” is almost never true (and what’s really going on underneath it) -Why “cleaning out your closet” feels impossible and how to do it the right way -One simple trick that will finally help you donate clothes you never wear (this is so freeing!) -The BEST and most unique gift idea for every woman you love (my daughters will be getting this every year for the holidays. It’s brilliant!) -The ONLY item to buy if you feel like you need something new Mel and Erin put the method to the test with women on Mel’s team: a new mom, a postmenopausal woman, and a breast cancer survivor. You’ll hear the real emotion (yes, some tears), the honesty, and the surprising transformation that happens when you stop getting dressed to hide – and start getting dressed to live the life you always wanted.
