63. Mind Over Maccas, with Neuroscientist Dr Tara Swart MD (@drtaraswart)

Author: Leanne Ward July 6, 2020 Duration: 1:03:44
On today’s podcast, we have Dr Tara Swart, a neuroscientist, medical doctor, executive coach, senior lecturer at MIT Sloan, and author of bestseller ‘The Source - Open Your Mind, Change Your Life’.   Dr Tara and I are diving deep into the human brain and how to train it and harness its power! Dr Tara starts us off by telling us how she came to be working in the space of medicine and neuroscience and how understanding neuroscience, epigenetics and brain health can help us live more productive and happier lives.   We then chat about how we can optimise our overall health to assist our brain health and what a healthy brain pattern of eating is. We discuss lifestyle influencers on brain health such as sleep, meditation, gut health and how we can create long-lasting change with our habits. We talk about self-sabotage, a growth vs. fixed mindset, visualisation, manifestation and limiting beliefs.   You can find out more about Dr Tara on her website or follow her on Instagram @drtaraswart.   Thank you to Protein Supplies Australia for their wonderful support on this podcast today.
