Dr. Mel Davis — Staying Calm Under Pressure, Trying New Things, Neuroscience, Psychedelics, & More! | MTFP Ep.63

I was super stoked to finally have this chat with Dr. Mel, as I'm a huge fan of her work and infinitely interested in her field of study: neuroscience and behavior change. Dr. Mel holds a PhD in Neurobiology and Behavior and has 10 years of research experience. She is also currently a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt under Giva Santana at One Jiu-Jitsu, and is a multiple-time IBJJF Master World Champion. She has even represented the United States in the international Abu Dhabi World Pro Competition on multiple occasions. So, basically, she's an extremely smart badass. In this episode, we chatted about her move out of the city in California and into the wilderness of Montana, how she got into the fitness industry and her profession of choice with the fitness overlords at Renaissance Periodization, how staying calm and solving problems during jiu-jitsu translates into the real world, exploring the science behind psychedelics and spirituality, the result of people's fitness and health after this quarantine is lifted, and much more!
