How To Use Your MIND To Heal Your Brain & Body w/ Dr. Caroline Leaf | Ep 67

Dr. Caroline Leaf is a communication pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist with a Masters and PhD in Communication Pathology and a BSc Logopaedics, specializing in cognitive and metacognitive neuropsychology. 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.    During her years in clinical practice and her work with thousands of underprivileged teachers and students in her home country of South Africa and in the USA, she developed her theory (called the Geodesic Information Processing theory) of how we think, build memory, and learn, into tools and processes that have transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), learning disabilities (ADD, ADHD), autism, dementias and mental ill-health issues like anxiety and depression. She has helped hundreds of thousands of students and adults learn how to use their mind to detox and grow their brain to succeed in every area of their lives, including school, university, and the workplace.   In this episode, Dr. Leaf and I explore the relationship between the mind, brain, and body. We discuss how her work for the last 30+ years has been centered around the scientific study of the human spirit and soul, how we are in control of our minds and must learn to strengthen and build them, the difference between a thought and a memory, and practical strategies to use neurocylcling to take back control of your messy mind.    And so much more!   Check out Dr. Leaf's newest book, Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess - https://amzn.to/2NEUplz   Download her app, Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess in the Apple Store or Google Play.    Follow Dr. Leaf: Website - https://drleaf.com/   Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cleaning-up-the-mental-mess-with-dr-caroline-leaf/id1334767397   Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/drcarolineleaf/?hl=en YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/DrCarolineLeaf   Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/drleaf   ---   Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesuperhumanfrank/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/   Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ
