Episode Description
“You can’t treat an old dog new tricks.” An old adverb that belongs to a pragmatic mindset; that we can’t change and the way we are is static. In her book “Brain Boosters: Seven Ways to Help Your Brain Help Yourself” Dr. Simone Ravicz discusses neuroplasticity, essentially the brains ability to repave old roadways into newer ones. This book offers seven highly effective techniques based in science that can be used to remap neural connections, and create a positive mindset growing new neuronal pathways. These techniques can be used in everyday life to help with a variety of problems and slow your brain’s aging.
