#1 Neuroscientist: After Listening to This, Your Brain Will Not Be the Same

Today, you are getting a step-by-step guide on how to change your brain. Joining Mel is neuroscientist Dr. Lara Boyd, a professor at the University of British Columbia who directs the Brain Behaviour Lab there.  This #1 neuroscientist will teach you how to rewire your brain at any age.  There's a personal reason she's devoted her life to this work. Before becoming a neuroscientist, Dr. Boyd was a physical therapist. She spent three months unsuccessfully trying to help a man with a brain injury learn to walk again.  Frustrated by how little she understood what was happening inside his brain, Dr. Boyd quit her job, got her PhD in neuroscience, and dedicated her career to figuring out how the brain learns and changes.  Her message is incredibly hopeful: You are never too old, too late, or too set in your ways to change who you are and what you’re capable of. But becoming who you want to be doesn’t happen by accident. Dr. Boyd reveals what really reshapes your brain, what happens when you challenge yourself to do hard things, and how to make what you practice stick. In this episode, you’ll learn:  -How to rewire your brain at any age  -How doing challenging things can help your brain learn and change -The #1 driver of change in your brain -The daily habit that Dr. Boyd calls “rocket fuel” for your brain   -How to prime your brain for success and the truth about manifestation -How to make lasting change, even if you’ve felt stuck for years Class is in session, because after you listen to this, your brain will not be the same.
