In Episode 160, we are joined by Emily McDonald who engages us on the topic of neuroscience and its involvement in health and wellness. We start with a discussion on the nervous system and how it impacts anxiety, and then explore the negative effects of social media on brain function and overall mental health. Regular exercise can provide a more natural outlet for mental focus, but also help to regulate healthy releases of neurotransmitters such as dopamine. The conversation also covers issues around use of cannabis, caffeine and specific supplementation solutions to improve brain health and daily function.

With a passion for neuroscience, a wealth of research experience, and a deep understanding of the power of the mind, Emily is your go-to guide for transforming your life from within. Armed with a master's and bachelor's degree in neuroscience, she seamlessly blends scientific knowledge with practical wisdom to help you rewire your brain and manifest your dream life. Drawing on over 4 years of dedicated research in the field, Emily has unraveled the intricate workings of the brain and its profound impact on our perception, behavior, and overall well-being. Her expertise extends beyond the confines of academia, as she boasts a substantial social media following of over 280,000 engaged individuals. Countless testimonies bear witness to the positive influence she has had on their lives.
