In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Judson Brewer—renowned neuroscientist, psychiatrist, and bestselling author—to explore the science behind mindfulness and its transformative power in overcoming anxiety and addiction. Dr. Brewer shares insights from his groundbreaking research, demonstrating how understanding the brain’s mechanisms can help us break free from unhelpful habits and cultivate lasting well-being.

We discuss practical tools anyone can use to manage stress, the role of the prefrontal cortex in habit formation, and how meditation can literally change your brain. Dr. Brewer’s approachable style and evidence-based strategies offer hope and actionable steps for anyone struggling with anxiety or looking to make positive changes in their life.

Please pass this episode on to anyone who you feel will benefit from listening.
