There was a distinct gender bias in the American election, as millions of young men sought to resurrect their masculine mojo.

Hypnotists break down phobias by creating a 'stepping stone': building a third person substitute: however, in order to be effective for the individual, that focus has to be transferred to the first person perspective.

As George Santayana said, 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it': and Adam Cox shows in this episode how that can also apply to personal relationships. He uses timeline therapy to help you re-visit previous relationships, and how they could have led to different choices. You can't change the past — but you can build resources through experience and perspectives to extract lessons for the future, in order to avoid history repeating itself.

Imagine if you could reach into your wardrobe and select whatever emotional resource state you wished, in the same way as choosing what to wear? This episode draws on theories of behavioural psychology which enable a degree of self-control so that you can, for example, choose when to be fearless or when to have a high level of confidence. Needless to say, this is not just personal: marketeers use it deliberately to create an anchor designed to maximise their promotions.

As a physical energy source, bodyfat can be compared to one of those electrical powerbanks you use as a reserve for your mobile phone or tablet: a store of energy for when you need it. When you reduce food consumption your bodyfat store will start delivering, but it's important to get the balance right. A calorie deficit and a low insulin environment is a reasonable approach, but vegetables providing fibre and water won't hold back the process of weight reduction, and will do you good. Bear in mind also that the brain uses a lot of energy, and doesn't draw down from bodyfat — so check carefully when embarking on a weight loss strategy.
