    Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown

    Consciousness. Spontaneous healing. UAPs. Near Death Experiences. Manifestation. Psychic phenomena. Angels. Nothing is off limits if it can be approached with curiosity and rigor.

    MBB started as a conversation about mental health — and quickly became something much bigger. Because the deeper you go into what it means to be human, the faster you run into questions science hasn’t fully answered yet.

    Hosted by neuroscientist and cultural icon Mayim Bialik and spiritual explorer Jonathan Cohen, MBB is a multi-award-winning podcast where science and spirituality meet. Together they break down the assumptions, the misperceptions, and the boundaries between disciplines — and every breakdown is a breakthrough. This is where the biggest questions get taken seriously — and where you realize you’ve never been alone in asking them.

    Can the mind actually heal the body? Can quantum physics explain psychic phenomena? What do Near Death Experiences reveal about the nature of consciousness and the seat of the human soul? What if the only thing separating you from your own intuition – or even God – is the assumption that it’s out of reach? And if governments are publicly acknowledging the existence of UFOs, what does that mean for the future of humanity?

    These are the questions Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown asks every week.

    Aliens Incoming?! Harvard Scientist Dr. Avi Loeb reveals the astronomy behind why 3I/Atlas could cancel your Halloween plans…


    On October 29th, just two days before Halloween, a mysterious interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is set to make a highly unusual approach to our sun and it’s raising MAJOR red flags! Could this be a disguised alien mothership on a secret surveillance mission to Earth? The trajectory coincidences are so bizarre, they defy all known statistics.


    In this explosive episode of Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown, Dr. Avi Loeb (Harvard professor, astrophysicist, and bestselling author of Interstellar: The Search for Extraterrestrial Life and Our Future in the Stars) dives deep with Mayim & Jonathan into what 3I/ATLAS might really be…and how it ties into everything we thought we knew about life beyond Earth.


    Dr. Avi Loeb also breaks down:

    - Did the U.S. Government recover four types of alien biological entities from UAP crash sites?

    - Evidence that human life may have been engineered by another species

    - Was Mars home to life before Earth?

    - The chilling reason you should NEVER shake an alien’s hand

    - Why Loeb says extraterrestrial life is a national security issue

    - The new “Loeb Scale” to evaluate interstellar object encounters

    - Why the discovery of alien life could be the only thing that unites humanity

    - His urgent call for a global organization to defend Earth against threats like aliens, AI, and climate change

    - The plan to build a DNA ark using artificial intelligence — a “Noah’s Ark” for Earth’s survival!

    - How science and spirituality can coexist, and why believing in aliens shouldn't conflict with faith

    - Why the hidden black holes theory doesn’t prove the multiverse

    - How we can finally pressure governments to reveal the truth about extraterrestrials


    Whether you’re a skeptic, a believer, or just curious about all things alien, this is the video you can’t afford to miss. Tune in to MBB now before October 29th possibly changes everything...

    Part Two: The Rise of Cancel Culture, Distrust in Science & Misinformation: Dr. Steven Pinker Reveals The Hidden Psychology That Threatens Society. Sep 24, 2025
    Show notes

    The Rising Risks of Cancel Culture & The Psychology & Language That Built It!


    In this explosive episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Steven Pinker (renowned Harvard psychologist and author of When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows) joins Mayim Bialik and Jonathan Cohen for a no-holds-barred conversation that quickly turns into a fiery debate on the limits of science, belief, and human consciousness.


    From the hidden mechanics of social dynamics and language to the perils of thought policing and cancel culture, Dr. Pinker dives deep into how shared knowledge shapes society, why what people think others believe can shift power, and how social media became a modern-day coliseum for public shaming.


    But the sparks really fly when Mayim and Jonathan challenge Pinker’s staunchly materialist worldview — questioning whether extrasensory perception (ESP), near death experiences (NDEs), and higher consciousness might point to something beyond the reach of scientific instruments. Pinker doesn’t hold back, offering his sharply skeptical takes on mystical claims and pushing back against spiritual notions with cool-headed logic.


    Dr. Pinker also breaks down:

    - Why what others think of us actually matters

    - Dangers of being too direct or too indirect — especially for neurodivergent folks

    - How to create or hide common knowledge in relationships

    - The first case of cancel culture on social media (and its ancient roots!)

    - The thin line between freedom of speech and incitement to violence

    - How distrust in science fuels conspiracy theories

    - Can we depoliticize science? Or is it already too late?

    - The danger of defunding academic research

    - Why authoritarian regimes fear open communication

    - The healthcare system: overprescription, profit motives, and how to fix it

    - Is free will real? Or are we just dancing to the tune of biology and environment?


    Don’t miss MBB's first-ever toe-to-toe spiritual showdown between Mayim, Jonathan, and a die-hard materialist. Whether you lean scientific, spiritual, or somewhere in between, this conversation will challenge what you think you know about reality.

    Part Two: Former CIA Spies on America’s Decline, The Potential of WW3, & What’s Really Happening Behind the Scenes in the US Government Sep 17, 2025
    Show notes

    What’s REALLY Going On Behind the Scenes of the CIA, the Media, and the U.S. Government?


    On Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown, former CIA agents and intelligence officers Andrew & Jihi Bustamante (creators of the EverydaySpy podcast, authors of Shadow Cell: An Insider Account of America’s New Spy War & popular guests on Diary of a CEO & The Joe Rogan Experience) pull back the curtain in this explosive, no-holds-barred conversation.


    From the moment you marry a spy (can you ever truly trust your partner?) to the shocking 4 categories of lies the CIA teaches—Mayim & Jonathan dive deep into the secretive world of espionage, national security, and the collapse of trust in modern institutions. Andrew and Jihi break down the shrinking middle class caused by American politics post-Trump, what it means for our future, whether the U.S. is moving closer to dictatorship (and if so, can we stop it?), and why the wealthy elite are leaving the U.S. (and which countries they’re fleeing to).


    These whistleblowers expose what the CIA doesn’t want you to know:

    - The 4 categories of lies every CIA officer is trained to tell

    - The agency’s current use of psychics and Cold War-era remote viewing programs

    - The loneliness and psychological toll of living a covert life

    - How the news & media is manipulated—and why even “trusted” outlets are failing us

    - Post-Trump politics: is the U.S. sliding toward dictatorship or already in it?

    - Why wealthy elites are fleeing America (and where they’re going)

    - The global fallout if a U.S. president is jailed, and what it means for our standing

    - The CIA’s take on Israel, rising global conflicts, and the risk of world war

    - How AI is dehumanizing warfare and reshaping the battlefield

    - Why Epstein’s case continues to expose cracks in our institutions


    Andrew and Jihi also reveal how influence, persuasion, and dialogue can still be used productively—even in a fractured society. From Venezuela’s collapse as a warning sign to the everyday challenge of separating real news from propaganda, this is more than an interview—it’s a wake-up call.

    Re-Air: Kel Mitchell: No Mistakes, Just Lessons Sep 12, 2025
    Show notes

    In honor of National Suicide Prevention Month, we are revisiting our episode with Kel Mitchell.


    Kel Mitchell (All That, Kenan & Kel, Good Burger, author of Blessed Mode: 90 Days to Level Up Your Faith) joins us to discuss his early career as a 90’s Nickelodeon star and the major life events that shaped him into a youth pastor and the man of faith he is today. He details his class clown and theatre beginnings, finding his comedy partner in Kenan Thompson, and the impact of the diversity shown on All That. Kel draws comparisons between his childhood in the southside of Chicago where he lost loved ones to gun and gang violence and the trauma young celebrities face in Hollywood. He discusses getting married at an early age and dealing with anxiety stemming from confusion over whether people loved him for his comedy characters or his true self. Kel opens up about his suicide attempt, how his faith led him to pursue a path toward mental wellness, and his journey to becoming a youth pastor. Mayim and Kel consider the mental health impact of living in communities touched by violence and intergenerational trauma.

    Top Neuroscientist's New Research on After Death Communication: Dr. Tara Swart’s Exploration of Consciousness, Intuition & Extra-Sensory Abilities Sep 09, 2025
    Show notes

    Can You REALLY Talk to the Dead? MIT Neuroscientist Dr. Tara Swart Says Yes—And Brings the Science to Prove It


    What happens when one of the world’s leading MIT neuroscientists, Dr. Tara Swart (Senior Lecturer at MIT Sloan and author of THE SIGNS: The New Science of How to Trust Your Instincts) loses her husband and begins receiving undeniable messages from the beyond? In this groundbreaking episode of Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown, Dr. Tara Swart opens up about her journey from respected neuroscientist and leadership advisor to spiritual explorer after the sudden loss of her husband, Robin.


    Known globally for her work on neuroplasticity, brain science, and intuition, Dr. Swart reveals how grief led her to a profound awakening: vivid dreams, ancestral connections, angel numbers, and even a visitation she refuses to dismiss as hallucination. She blends her rigorous background in neuroscience with her lived experience, challenging us to rethink the boundaries between science and spirituality.


    Dr. Tara Swart breaks down:

    - Neuroscience of Intuition: How to train your brain to tune into instincts and signs

    - Near Death Experiences (NDEs) and why the brain may be filtering out reality

    - Grief and trauma in the body: Why talk therapy alone isn’t enough

    - The surprising link between creativity, movement, and trauma healing

    - Why altered states of consciousness don’t require drugs

    - The health benefits of ancestral healing and spiritual connection

    - Why beauty acts as a healing frequency for the brain

    - The thin line between mental illness and genius

    - Why she believes in angel numbers—and how they’ve shaped her decisions

    - Her most radical theory: Consciousness may not live in the brain at all


    This isn’t just another conversation on neuroscience. Dr. Tara Swart pushes us to expand the limits of what it means to be human by merging brain science, spirituality, and the mysteries of consciousness into a powerful roadmap for life after loss, trauma, and fear.

    Top 5 Ways to Thrive Not Survive! How Meditation, Somatic Work & Building Interpersonal Trust Can Dramatically Improve How You Feel Each Day w/ Dan Harris Sep 05, 2025
    Show notes

    Exclusive Substack Release! We originally posted this episode to our Substack Breakers ONLY and we thought it was time we shared with YOU! Subscribe at bialikbreakdown.substack.com for more exclusive content like this and more!


    We sat down with our friend Dan Harris (author of 10% Happier, journalist, and meditation teacher) for a raw, unscripted conversation about anxiety, meditation, and what it really means to live with more calm and connection.


    What began as Mayim confessing her nerves quickly unfolded into an exploration of habit formation, the messy reality of meditation practice, and why "success" doesn’t mean never feeling anxious again. Dan shared personal stories of facing claustrophobia, panic on planes, and the unexpected childhood memories that surfaced through brainspotting and therapy. Jonathan weighed in on consciousness, body memory, and the ways stress embeds itself in us—and how practices like EMDR or somatic work can help release it.


    The conversation didn’t stop there. We also touched on:

    • Why perfection isn’t the goal of meditation—and why simply "showing up" matters
    • The difference between trauma, stress, and the everyday burdens of being human
    • The role of visualization and faith (secular or otherwise) in rewiring the brain
    • How relationships and connection shape our survival, health, and happiness
    • Dan’s upcoming book about redefining love, not just as romance, but as the essential force behind our well-being and even our survival as a species

    We hope this live encourages you to judge yourself a little less, and lean on others a little more.

    PART TWO: How Quantum Physics, Religion, & NDEs are Linked By A Theory That’s Growing in Popularity. MIT Scientist Explains Simulation Theory. Sep 03, 2025
    Show notes

    Could Simulation Theory be the key to uniting science and spirituality once and for all?


    Dr. Rizwan Virk (MIT professor, video game pioneer, and bestselling author of The Simulation Hypothesis) joins Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown to explore whether we’re living inside a computer simulation and why this idea may be the most important breakthrough of our time. From bridging ancient spiritual wisdom with modern quantum physics, to explaining life’s glitches, suffering, and precognitive dreams, Dr. Virk unpacks why simulation theory could radically change the way we see reality.


    In this mind-bending podcast episode, Mayim & Jonathan dive into:

    - Why Rizwan Virk believes simulation theory is more spiritual than you think

    - The surprising connections between quantum physics, religion, and near-death experiences
