170: Near-Death Experiences & Consciousness Explained by 3 Doctors: Dr. Eben Alexander, Dr. Anna Yusim & Dr. Mitch Abrams

In this episode Dr. Lorne Brown brings together neurosurgeon and Proof of Heaven author Dr. Eben Alexander, psychiatrist and Fulfilled author Dr. Anna Yusim, and radiologist Dr. Mitchell Abrams for a wide-ranging conversation about near-death experiences, consciousness, spirituality, healing, and the limitations of a purely material view of medicine.Together, they examine what near-death experiences may teach us about love, purpose, connection, and how to live differently now—without needing a life-altering experience to wake us up.The discussion explicitly moves from whether consciousness can exist beyond the brain toward a broader model of healing that includes mind, body, spirit, relationships, and inner experience.Key Takeaways:Consciousness may extend beyond the brain.Love and connection shape our lives.Beliefs can influence healing and wellbeing.Inner work can deepen purpose and intuition.Meditation and gratitude support greater awareness.Dr. Anna YusimWebsite: https://annayusim.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/annayusim/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPr81yb93MSA1k4EgITEcwgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/annayusimmdFulfilled: How the Science of Spirituality Can Help You Live a Happier, More Meaningful Life: https://annayusim.com/book/Bio:Dr. Anna Yusim is a board-certified psychiatrist, executive coach, and bestselling author of Fulfilled.
