53: Why Mindfulness is NOT Enough with Dr. Caroline Leaf

Very special episode with Dr. Caroline Leaf.  Since the early 1980s she has researched the mind-brain connection, the nature of mental health, and the formation of memory. She was one of the first in her field to study how the brain can change (neuroplasticity) with directed mind input. Dr. Leaf is also the bestselling author of Switch on Your Brain, Think Learn Succeed, Think and Eat Yourself Smart, and many more. She also has a podcast with over 7 million downloads called Cleaning Up the Mental Mess. She’s been featured in Forbes, TED, INC. The Oprah Magazine, GLAMOUR and BUSTLE. We chat about the Neuroscience behind thoughts and what effect they have on the physical world, cleaning up brain fog, and practical advice on how to close the gap between knowledge and application. You may need a notepad to take notes on this one. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------7:56 - What is Neurophysiology?13:54 What is NeuroPlasticity? 21:51 Helping People understand Change25:35 Building a Forest in your Brain 27:32 Cleaning up the Mental Mess33:15 Access to Knowledge versus Applying Knowledge37:23 Stress is Supposed to Work for you Neuro Cycles44:56 Your Mind is a Time Traveler51:44 5 Steps of the Neuro Cycle1:03:19 Brain Waves: Beta, Alpha, Theta, Oh My!1:10:59 Brain Fog and Telomeres------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dr. Caroline Leaf’s Information:Website: https://drleaf.comBooks: https://drleaf.com/collections/books IG: @drcarolineleafFollow Us on Instagram!Justin @justinroeth - https://bit.ly/3hLUgqFPurdeep @purdeepsangha - https://bit.ly/2AMcTdD----------------------------------------Reach us through our website - https://coaches-council.com/And be sure to follow Coaches Council's Instagram @coaches_council - https://bit.ly/2Nh1163Podcast Produced by Perfect My PodcastLearn more about Perfect My Podcast here: www.perfectmypodcast.com💪 OWN IT CoachingIf you’re a high performer and you want a complete health optimization system— high energy, deeper sleep, better focus, and long-term resilience, this is what we do inside OWN IT Coaching.It’s personalized coaching for executives and leaders built around deep diagnostics, coaching accountability, precision nutrition & fitness, targeted supplementation, recovery, and objective data. Not sure where to begin?
