How often do you work out?

What’s been the biggest challenge in your fitness journey so far?

In today’s episode, Jay sits down with Dr. Vonda Wright, an orthopedic surgeon and researcher specializing in active aging and longevity. If you’ve ever wondered how to stay feeling youthful as you age, lose stubborn fat, and improve your sleep,, this conversation is packed with life changing insights.

Jay and Dr. Wright start by debunking the myth that aging is an inevitable decline. Dr. Wright explains how lifestyle choices in your 20s and 30s directly impact how you feel in your 40s, 50s, and beyond. They dive into how excess fat, especially around the belly, isn’t just about appearance—it’s a sign of inflammation that accelerates aging. Dr. Wright shares how movement, muscle mass, and diet play a crucial role in fat loss and energy levels.

They also explore the powerful body-brain connection. Dr. Wright breaks down how physical activity releases key proteins that protect the brain from cognitive decline and diseases like dementia. Jay and Dr. Wright discuss how poor sleep can sabotage fat loss, slow down recovery, and disrupt hormones—leading to more cravings, weight gain, and reduced longevity.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How fat storage impacts aging and energy levels.

The critical role of sleep in weight loss and brain function.

How movement and muscle mass keep you youthful.

How lifestyle choices in your 30s affect long-term health.

Why fitness-based friendships can improve your health.

If you want to stay sharp, maintain a healthy weight, and build lasting habits that help you thrive for decades, this episode gives you the tools to start now.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty

Can we still connect with our loved ones when memory fades and language disappears? In this tender and eye-opening episode, The Telepathy Tapes coordinator Katherine Ellis sits down with Dan Goerke, whose wife Denise lost her ability to speak due to early-onset Alzheimer’s. What followed was something extraordinary: Dan believes their bond transformed into telepathic communication.

As Denise’s verbal language faded, Dan began sensing clear thoughts and emotions from her—deep, complex messages conveyed without a single word. Their story challenges everything we assume about communication, presence, and the boundaries of consciousness.

We also explore the emotional realities of caregiving, the lasting nature of love, and how Dan’s experiences have resonated with others navigating dementia and loss. This episode is a moving reminder that connection doesn’t always need words—and sometimes, it transcends them entirely.

In this riveting episode of The Talk Tracks, we explore two astonishing stories that challenge our understanding of consciousness and the limits of the human mind.

First, we meet Elodie, who recounts her near-death experience at 18—a moment that profoundly altered her perception of reality. But what happened next is even more extraordinary. In a moment of deep despair, she received a telepathic message from a young, nonspeaking boy hundreds of miles away. His message not only saved her life but also revealed the profound ways in which consciousness can connect beyond physical barriers.

Then, we dive into a shocking case investigated by parapsychologist Lloyd Auerbach, where a woman in hospice care unknowingly projected her consciousness into her childhood home, appearing as a ghost to the new family living there. Her body remained bedridden, yet her mind traveled freely, challenging our assumptions about the nature of life, death, and human perception.

Could telepathy and consciousness extend beyond the body—even for those with dementia, Alzheimer’s, or in a coma? This episode pushes the boundaries of what we think we know about reality, connection, and the unseen forces that shape our world.

In this illuminating episode of Talk Tracks, host Ky Dickens sits down with Suzy Miller, a pioneering educator and the founder of the Awesomism Practitioner Process, to dive into the often-overlooked intelligence and telepathic abilities of non-speakers. Suzy shares her groundbreaking experiences working with neurodivergent individuals, including a life-changing encounter with a four-year-old boy who introduced her to the concept of light-body integration.

Together, Ky and Suzy unpack why emotional regulation—especially in parents, teachers, and caregivers—is crucial for helping non-speakers feel safe, present, and capable of communication. They discuss the energetic dynamics between caregivers and children, the hidden power of belief in unlocking abilities, and how subtle tools like tuning forks and color therapy can help bridge the mind-body gap.

The conversation also explores why teachers often have an easier time engaging in two-way telepathic communication than parents, the natural ebb and flow of communication progress, and how parents can begin to cultivate their own telepathic connections with their children.

In this episode of The Telepathy Tapes, we venture into uncharted territory, exploring telepathy’s potential to transcend not only distance but dimensions. Through two remarkable stories, we examine the profound interconnectedness that ties us all together and consider how nonspeaking individuals may access realities beyond our comprehension.

We begin with Tahni, a mother whose son Josiah’s first independent sentence—“God is a good gift giver”—opened a door to extraordinary spiritual insights. Josiah, a nonspeaker, shares detailed knowledge of people and places he’s never encountered, leading his family into a transformative journey of faith and discovery. Tahni recounts how Josiah’s prophetic messages, poetic writings, and profound spiritual understanding challenged their perception of reality and reshaped their lives.

We then turn to John Paul, a non-speaker from Atlanta whose tragic passing unveiled a web of mysterious connections. His loved ones, including his mother Libby and girlfriend Lily, recount powerful spiritual experiences surrounding his death, from premonitions to vivid messages delivered through other non-speakers. John Paul’s story highlights the shared belief among non-speakers that they connect to realms beyond the physical world, including a place known as “the hill,” a spiritual gathering point where they interact with others.

The episode explores themes of prophetic visions, the eternal nature of consciousness, and the paradigm-shifting idea that non-speakers may tap into knowledge and dimensions inaccessible to most. Through the lens of Josiah’s prophetic writings, John Paul’s heavenly journey, and insights from other non-speakers, we confront the possibility that our understanding of reality is fundamentally incomplete.

This profound exploration leaves us with a challenging yet hopeful message: the boundaries of reality may be far more flexible than we think, and the wisdom of non-speakers offers us a glimpse into a deeper, more interconnected existence. Prepare for a journey that will expand your mind and challenge your beliefs, as we push the limits of telepathy and reality itself

In Episode 8 of The Telepathy Tapes, we dive into the controversial world of spelling as a method of communication for non-speakers with autism. This episode reveals the deep divide between families and educators who see spelling as a pathway to independence and those who doubt its legitimacy. Through heartfelt accounts, including a mother’s struggle with her son’s school and the stigmas imposed by professional organizations, we witness the courage of those fighting for non-speakers’ rights to communicate. Expanding the exploration of telepathy beyond spelling, we meet Kyle and his mother Caroline, who communicate solely through dream telepathy and non-verbal communication, demonstrating the boundless forms that connection can take. As we uncover these remarkable experiences, we’re invited to question what we know about communication, autonomy, and the unseen capabilities within us all.

In this episode of The Telepathy Tapes, we explore how nonspeakers might tap into a “foundational consciousness,” connecting them to others’ thoughts, glimpses of the future, and knowledge beyond the physical world. Maura shares her journey with her daughter Emelia, whose spiritual and emotional intelligence transcends her physical limitations. Emelia communicates telepathically not only with her mother but also with friends, teachers, and even strangers.

Teachers, ministers, therapists, and other nonspeakers describe similar experiences, challenging traditional ideas about disability and inspiring questions about a deeper, interconnected consciousness. Host Ky Dickens curates some of the most incredible stories yet, offering a glimpse into the hidden spiritual gifts that challenge our deepest assumptions about consciousness and human potential. Could nonspeakers, like Emelia, help validate a new understanding of consciousness as the basis of reality? For these children, telepathy is just the tip of the iceberg inviting us to consider the profound possibilities their experiences reveal.

In this highly anticipated science episode, we explore the rich history of telepathy research in both humans and animals, uncovering groundbreaking studies that challenge the materialist worldview. Leading scientists suggest that consciousness, not matter, may be the fundamental building block of the universe—offering a powerful explanation for telepathy and other unexplained phenomena.

We hear from Dr. Diane Hennessy Powell, whose work on telepathy in non-speakers has spanned over a decade, and from Dr. Rupert Sheldrake, a Cambridge biologist whose career was transformed after learning about a blind boy who could seemingly “see” through his mother’s eyes. This discovery led Dr. Sheldrake to study telepathy, particularly in animals, revealing the profound bonds between pets and their owners. Dr. Dean Radin, Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Science, guides us through the history of telepathy research, including the pivotal Ganzfeld studies, which provided strong evidence for the existence of telepathy over the past several decades.

The episode introduces groundbreaking ideas about a new scientific paradigm, where consciousness is viewed as the most fundamental building block of the universe. This shift in thinking could explain many psi phenomena, like telepathy, that the materialist worldview has struggled to account for. By exploring quantum physics, we learn that particles can be connected over great distances, influencing each other instantly—an idea that echoes the potential for human minds to be similarly entangled across space and time. Dr. Marjorie Woolacott, the President of the Academy for the Advancement of Postmaterialist Sciences, also shares how her research supports the idea that consciousness may not be confined to the brain, but rather a pervasive force in the universe.

We also revisit Dr. Sheldrake’s research on telepathic connections between animals and their human companions, including an that demonstrated extraordinary telepathic abilities. These examples push the boundaries of conventional science and open the door to a deeper understanding of consciousness and its role in shaping our reality.

As the episode draws to a close, we discuss the limitations of the materialist paradigm and explore alternative theories of consciousness, setting the stage for the next episode, which promises to dive deeper into the remarkable abilities of non-speaking individuals.

In this powerful fifth episode of The Telepathy Tapes, the focus shifts to educators who have witnessed telepathy among non-speaking autistic students. The episode shares testimonies from brave teachers like Mary Ann Harrington, Suzy Miller and others, who risked their reputations to discuss their firsthand experiences of students reading minds.

Teachers recount how these experiences were not only shocking but life-changing, offering new insights into human consciousness. As they struggled to be taken seriously by the scientific community, this episode highlights the tension between materialistic scientific paradigms and the reality of telepathy experienced by these teachers and students. With contributions from Dr. Rupert Sheldrake and Dr. Diane Hennessy Powell, the episode delves into the potential of telepathy as a baseline communication method, suggesting that these extraordinary abilities may be the next step in human evolution. Yet, until society fully recognizes this gift, spelling and other methods of communication remain crucial for non-speakers. This episode poses fundamental questions about the nature of consciousness and challenges long-standing assumptions about the human mind.

In Episode 4 of The Telepathy Tapes, Ky Dickens journeys to Atlanta to meet families who openly discuss the extraordinary telepathic abilities of their non-speaking children. The episode centers on John Paul, a 16-year-old with autism, who shares a deep telepathic connection with his friend Houston and his girlfriend Lily. We delve into the unique relationship between John Paul and Lily, who communicate mind-to-mind, revealing a love story that forges a transcendent bond while challenging our conventional understanding of young love.

The episode introduces the concept of savant skills—extraordinary abilities that defy conventional explanations. Savants have exceptional skills in music, language, math and art without any formal training or exposure to the skill. Neuroscientist Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell believes that just as traditional savant skills are accepted despite their mysterious nature, ESP should be acknowledged as a savant skill and studied as a legitimate phenomenon. As we witness telepathy tests and hear from neuroscientists, the episode raises important questions about the nature of consciousness and the societal gatekeeping that often silences these extraordinary experiences.
