About this episode

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-backedno 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. 

What You’ll Discover in This Episode: 

• The hidden mental loops sabotaging your success (and how to break them) 

• The science of self-deception—why your brain lies to you daily 

• How early childhood experiences hardwire your thoughts and emotions 

• The brain’s rejection vs. abandonment patterns—which one rules you 

• How to use E.L.I. questions to disrupt negative thinking instantly 

• The AI-powered brain upgrade that could change self-improvement forever 

If you’ve ever felt stuck in repetitive thought patterns, bad habits, or emotional cycles, this episode will give you the blueprint to take back control of your mind

Listen now—because your brain won’t fix itself.
