About this episode

Tom Wingert discusses the importance of mindset in wellness and shares insights on cognitive health and human connection.

Adessa Mind CEO & Co-Founder Tom Wingert shares that wellness starts with your mindset. "Wellness is not fear. Wellness is optimism." Learn what it's really like being at the frontier of cognitive health and neuromodulation that is translating cutting-edge neuroscience into real-world experiences that help everyday people think better, recover faster, and sustain peak mental performance. He warns that the wellness industry has a blind spot: "I've heard leaders say people buy fitness because of fear of death, fear of dying. And I almost think that as an anchor is counterproductive — in a way you're reinforcing the fears they feel in the first place." Tom models great leaders who set their ego aside in lifting their teams to higher performance. "I win when they win. But they need to win first. My job is to keep us on vision, to move it forward and get out of the way." His advice for performing your best? Set your non-negotiables. Eat. Sleep. Move your body. Connect with people. "The best indicator of human longevity in the world is human connection. People that are in relationship with others are the people that are going to lead the longest and most fulfilling lives."
