I was expecting this to be pop pseudoscience, and while it's a bit pop, the five things seem pretty solid to me.

The interviewee is Ramona Persaud, producer and director of the documentary, Grey Matters. Interviewer Vicki Davis sometimes struggles with some of the concepts - you can see her try to match the ideas to things she already knows. But she does a service by bringing these to her readers and would do well to revisit these ideas in future columns.
