THE ED MYLETT SHOW

What if the key to healing your body, calming your mind, and extending your life has been inside you the whole time?

In this episode, I sit down with one of the most important scientists alive today, Dr. Kevin Tracey, and I do not say that lightly. Kevin is a neurosurgeon, neuroscientist, and the pioneer behind a discovery that could fundamentally change how we treat disease, mental health, and inflammation. I have wanted him on this show for a long time, and after this conversation, you will understand why. This is one of those episodes where you grab a notebook, because it will completely shift how you think about your body, your brain, and your health.

We break down the vagus nerve in plain English and why it may be the master regulator of inflammation, stress, trauma, and longevity. Kevin explains how chronic inflammation is linked to most of the diseases that shorten our lives and how the nervous system acts like the brakes that keep inflammation from spinning out of control. He walks us through the groundbreaking FDA approved therapy using vagus nerve stimulation that is already helping people with rheumatoid arthritis get out of wheelchairs, return to work, and reclaim their lives. And yes, he believes this is just the beginning.

We also go deep into the connection between childhood trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, and physical disease. Kevin explains how unhealed stress can leave a biological imprint on the nervous system for decades and how that imprint can quietly drive inflammation throughout the body. We talk about depression, anxiety, heart rate variability, and why your body may be stuck in fight or flight without you even realizing it. This is not theory. This is real science, explained in a way that actually makes sense.

Then we get practical. We talk about daily habits that cost nothing but can make a real difference. Breathing, prayer, meditation, cold exposure, exercise, sleep, and why doing hard things on purpose can build both mental resilience and physical health. Kevin is refreshingly honest about what science knows, what it does not know yet, and what questions we should be asking next. That humility is exactly why I trust his work.

This conversation left me fired up, hopeful, and honestly in awe of what is coming next in medicine. If you care about your health, your performance, your longevity, or understanding how your mind and body truly work together, this is a must listen. And do yourself a favor and grab his book The Great Nerve. There is not a wasted page.

What if the real reason most people never reach their dreams has nothing to do with failure at all and everything to do with something far more subtle and dangerous?

In this mashup episode, I bring together three powerful conversations that cut straight to the core of what actually derails greatness. I am joined by James Clear, Rich Diviney, and Jason Wilson to expose the silent forces that quietly pull people away from the life they know they are capable of living. This is not about fear of failure or lack of talent. It is about the habits, identities, and emotional patterns that slowly convince you to play smaller than you were born to play.

James Clear breaks down how tiny compromises in daily habits compound into massive distance from your dreams. He explains why most people never fall off track all at once, but instead drift through subtle decisions that feel harmless in the moment. Rich Diviney brings a powerful perspective from elite military leadership, sharing why stress, uncertainty, and identity collapse are often misunderstood and why learning to operate inside discomfort is the real separator between those who rise and those who retreat. Jason Wilson adds a deeply personal layer, unpacking how emotional avoidance and unhealed pain can quietly sabotage even the strongest exterior.

I also share some of the hardest truths I have learned in my own life. The greatest threat to your dreams is not missing a goal or falling short. It is getting comfortable. It is seeking approval from people who are not living the life you want. It is slowly negotiating with your standards until the version of you that once felt destined for more becomes a stranger. This episode will challenge you to take an honest look at where you may be drifting instead of driving.

If you have ever felt like you are busy but not fulfilled, successful but not satisfied, or capable of more but unsure why you are not there yet, this conversation is for you. My hope is that it wakes you up, recenters your standards, and reminds you that the distance between where you are and where you want to be is often closed by awareness and intentional action, not motivation alone.

Key Takeaways


Why comfort and identity drift are more dangerous than outright failure


How small daily habits quietly determine the size of your future


What elite performers do differently when facing uncertainty and pressure


How emotional avoidance can sabotage long term success and fulfillment


Why raising your standards is often more important than setting bigger goals


How to reconnect with the version of yourself you were born to become

What if the real breakthrough you are searching for has nothing to do with hustling harder and everything to do with surrender, grace, and presence?

In this deeply moving conversation, I sit down with Sage Robbins, and I can honestly tell you this is one of the most powerful interviews I have ever done. I have wanted to have Sage on the show for a long time, and after this conversation, you will understand why. Her wisdom, her heart, and the calm strength she carries will meet you exactly where you are. This episode is not about motivation for the sake of motivation. It is about learning how to live with more peace, more compassion, and more truth in a noisy and divided world.

We talk about Sage’s upbringing surrounded by recovery, Alcoholics Anonymous, and the 12-step program, and how watching her father, grandparents, and siblings walk through addiction and healing shaped the way she sees humanity. She shares how surrender is not weakness, but freedom, and why so much of our suffering comes from believing life should be different than it is. This conversation opened my own heart as we connected over our fathers, recovery, forgiveness, and what it really means to take responsibility for your inner world.

Sage also speaks with rare honesty about grace, humility, and the power of making amends. We discuss why saying “I’m sorry” is one of the most transformative practices in relationships, how ego closes the heart, and why ownership opens it again. She explains how self reflection, not blame, is the gateway to real peace. If you have strained family relationships, unresolved resentment, or feel disconnected from people you love, this part of the conversation will hit home.

One of the most profound moments in the episode is when Sage guides us through her daily practice called “60 Seconds of Grace.” It is a simple but life changing reset that brings you back to the present moment. We also talk about how to recognize what is no longer serving you in your life, just like shedding old patterns, judgments, and beliefs that disconnect you from love. This is an episode you will not just listen to. You will feel it. And I promise you will come away changed.

Key Takeaways


Why surrendering control can create more peace, clarity, and freedom in your life


How grace for yourself naturally becomes grace for others


The hidden power of making amends and taking full responsibility


Why self reflection matters more than being right


A simple daily practice to reconnect with peace in just 60 seconds


How to let go of what no longer serves you so life can truly begin

If you have been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or divided from the people you love, this conversation with Sage Robbins may be exactly what your soul has been waiting for. Please share this episode with someone who needs more grace in their life right now. Let’s Max Out together.

What if the real secret to an unbreakable mindset isn’t motivation, confidence, or talent but preparation done so relentlessly that pressure has nowhere to land?

In this mashup episode, I bring together some of the most mentally tough competitors and leaders I’ve ever sat down with to break down what it truly takes to build a bulletproof mindset before the moment arrives. This is not about hype or temporary motivation. This is about the unseen work that creates certainty when everything is on the line. When preparation becomes your identity, fear loses its grip and pressure turns into fuel.

You’re going to hear from Andre Ward on what separates champions from contenders when the lights are brightest, and why mental toughness is earned long before the first bell rings. Sean Casey shares how consistency and routine create confidence in moments when self doubt tries to creep in. Dabo Swinney breaks down how preparation builds belief not just in yourself, but in your team, your system, and your mission.

You’ll also hear from Michael Chandler, who explains how he trains his mind to stay calm in chaos and perform at his highest level under extreme pressure. Terrell Owens opens up about the discipline, focus, and self trust required to thrive when expectations are massive and criticism is loud. And Ryan Hawk brings it all together with insights on how elite performers prepare daily so confidence becomes automatic, not situational.

I want you to understand something. Confidence is not something you wait for. It is something you manufacture through preparation. When you know you have done the work, your mind becomes steady, your decisions become clearer, and your performance becomes inevitable. This episode will challenge you to raise your standard for preparation so high that doubt simply cannot survive in your presence.

This mashup is for anyone who wants to stop hoping they will show up strong and start knowing they will. If you want a mindset that does not crack under pressure, this is your blueprint.

Key Takeaways:


Why preparation is the true source of confidence and mental toughness


How elite performers train their minds long before the moment matters


The role of discipline and routine in eliminating fear and hesitation


How belief is built through reps, not positive thinking


Why pressure exposes preparation, it does not create performance


How to build certainty that travels with you into every arena of life

If you want to perform at your best when it counts most, this episode will show you how to prepare like it already matters.

What If the Worst Day of Your Life Is Actually Training You to Live Greatly?

In this episode, I sit down with Jason Redman, and this is one of those conversations that stays with you long after it ends. Jason is a retired Navy SEAL who was shot eight times in combat, nearly lost his life, and then rebuilt everything from the ground up. But this episode is not about war stories. It is about how you respond when life ambushes you, how you refuse to quit when fear tries to take over, and how you decide who you are going to become after everything falls apart.

Jason shares the truth that surprised me most. The day he was wounded was not the worst day of his life. His darkest moment came earlier, when arrogance, isolation, and shame nearly cost him his career and his life. He opens up about hitting rock bottom, sitting alone with a gun in his mouth, and the moment he realized that choosing to live meant choosing to take responsibility again. We talk about how victim mindset destroys leaders and why true strength always starts with humility.

We also break down Jason’s Overcome Mindset, a framework built on awareness, preparation, and action. He explains why bad days are not the enemy, but the training ground for greatness. If you have been knocked down by loss, failure, or fear, this part of the conversation will give you practical tools to get back on your feet without pretending everything is fine.

One of the most powerful moments of the episode is the story behind the sign Jason taped to his hospital door after being shot. It was his declaration that no one was allowed to feel sorry for him, including himself. That mindset became the foundation of his recovery and his mission to live greatly, even when life hurts. We also dive into marriage, faith, and what it really takes to build an unbreakable relationship when trauma enters the picture.

If you are standing on the edge of something big but fear is holding you back, this conversation is your push. Jason reminds us that action is what unlocks greatness, and that regret is far heavier than failure.

Key Takeaways:


Why there are no bad days if you are still alive


How to develop the Overcome Mindset when life blindsides you


Why shrinking your time frame can save you in dark seasons


How to stop living in fear after trauma and loss


What it truly means to live greatly and honor the people you love

This episode is a reminder that you are not broken, you are being built. Get ready to rethink everything you believe about pain, purpose, and resilience.

Max out your life.
