Your Brain is Lying to You—Here’s How to Take Back Control

Every day, your brain is running subconscious scripts—hidden mental loops that shape your decisions, habits, and even your self-worth. But what if those loops are sabotaging you?

In this episode, Bizzie Gold, mind architect and creator of The Break Method, joins Dave Asprey to expose the self-deception patterns controlling your thoughts—and how to reprogram your brain for true transformation.

Bizzie’s method isn’t just another self-help philosophy. It’s science-backed, no BS, and engineered for results. From subconscious conditioning to emotional addiction cycles, you’ll learn the exact framework for breaking free from limiting beliefs and upgrading your mind.
