Mind Over Matter with Dr. Caroline Leaf

What this episode covers

Brian, Sharna and Randy are back to tackle the most complicated and misunderstood organ in our system ... our brains. Best-selling author and Neuroscientist Dr. Caroline Leaf joins the trio to discuss the difference between mind vs. brain, how you can use your mind to live your best life, and her belief that certain mental health diseases, such as anxiety, depression, and addiction, are not actually diseases. She explains what they are, why you shouldn't try to fix all your problems with medication and embracing intrusive thoughts to get to the root cause of the problem. Plus, Brian opens up about the stroke-like symptoms he went through that had him feeling like a prisoner in his own body and re-learning how to walk and talk again.
